First off, congrats to Joe and Gilles on your respective wins. First race, not much to talk about. Second race, though, I have an issue with. I was gifted pole position, due to finishing 6th in race one, and held my own for a few laps. Gilles got by, and when Bob made a move on me I made that easy. Brette and Joe gained on me faster than expected, and I spun off the track hitting the gas too early trying to place myself between them to maybe gain some speed.. I spent the entire rest of the race trying to keep ahead of Jerry, having a blast. But I look at the stats and see that I was disqualified somehow, apparently when I went off track. I'll watch the replay, see if I can figure out why -- I certainly did not go the wrong way on the track,etc, to my memory.
Edit: the above was written without noticing that the stats I were looking at were from the previous race in this mod. My bad, and sorry for the mis-information. (I did drop out of the race at Melbourne).

Congrats to Joe for the win. EDIT wins with an s as also congrats for the Series too! Consistency I don't have... YET.
Jason, well... what did you do?
Brette, points wise, couldn't be closer: overall 419 to 419, with the drops you beat me by one... darn! Good show Brette.
To all others drivers here, thank you for your continuous support.
First race, I lost the car going in the first lefthander, corner 4, I had lots of rotation but I could not re-accelerate out as there was a slow down and I was against Peter rear end, I rotated off to the inside.
Second race, inherited 2nd for the start, couple of lap to pass Aaron but Bob started to gain on me. Having had no practice, I was figuring how to drive thus track during each outing. During the 2nd race I figured I was going in too early in the second corner. So half way through, I adjusted my line and I could then power out with a lot more speed... enough that at the end of the straight, I was now red lining the thing a bit before the first braking sign. Each time going "Don't blow! Don't blow! Don't blow!". It didn't so with that new found speed, I could prevent Bob from getting close enough to attack. It was real fun. Thanks Bob and thanks again to all.

Thanks Bob and thanks again to all. Gilles: I agree about the points spread. It might have been a little farther apart if my PC hadn't locked up heading to the grid in the first race. Luckily a reboot and some setup tweaks latter worked well in Race 2 here (thanks to the server reentry option between races). Good show up front between you and Bob in race 2. I was doing my best to race others and keep it on the gray stuff  Good fun in the MCR.
Congrats all around. Especially to our series champs! I could race these cars again, just like the Caterhams.

Ahaa.. that explains it. I thought you looked pretty racy there. Even checked the replay to make sure I didn't help with that spin. I downloaded the stats and saw Melbourne stats also. We'll have to file a stats refresh with our steward
