Damned lapped drivers!!!!

My race pace was good (20.5), but when I encountered lapped drivers, my laps are about 2 secs slower, and It was very difficult to pass them!!!

I hope in a placement in points zone.

I've noticed I'm very good in qualifying session (always in first 6 positions), but I can't understand why In race session other drivers are too fast, also with 100 or 85 kg of fuel... It's very strange...

Practicing, driving skills, strategie are the key.

Veeeeeery baaaaaad race :/

But I really don't like Montreal. And I hate rain races :/ So, if you'll be thinking about drivers who will be having the most problems in rain race, I'm first on the list

[GR Driver]

I haven´t practiced at all, because of exams and my race was terrifying as well...
I didn´t finished a race before login and then I decided just to drive login, because I didn´t felt comfortabel in my training run.
So, I quit my run before finish in training and made one of the worst races in login ever.

Worst race of careers. I hope that more will not go after %. I lost 17sec for my best result.

[RudyOosterndijk]

Stats-time!

The Grand Prix with the most drivers, whose Qualifying and Race results differed by at least 5 positions in either direction, was the Malaysian GP this year - counting 13 drivers.
Taking into consideration GR Driver's 11th position from the pit lane, the number increases to 14.

The following numbers are based on the discrepancy between both QF and Race result. Drivers that were not classified in Qualifying (for whatever reason that is) do not appear in the table below, even if they started from the pitlane (2015) or P6 (2009 - 2012)

That's why there is Doncamillo's drive from last week missing. Starting from the pits (comparable to a virtual 22th position on the grid) he finished 6th.


Positions gained - driver (Grand Prix), QF result - Race result

16 - Buka (MON 2015), 21 - 5 (wrong but slower car in QF)

[GR Driver]

Statistics about average race results would be good as well.

Btw. good QF by the germans.

But an unbelievable lap of Maclape and Fiolek was pretty fast as well.

I don´t know, what is going on with Alonso at the moment, but I asked him, why he didn´t participate this time...

In race, I should surely be good, taking clean AI overtakes into consideration.

The worst race of the season. My only hope is that other contenders had same problems with AIs and kerbs.

No PGR F1 this week but you've got some homework to do!

How well do you know PGR F1? Take the ultimate test by clicking on the picture below.

[Gzehoo]

Yeah! My greatest success

[Buka]

How well do you know PGR F1? Take the ultimate test...

1/16. I know nothing.

[kuba]

I got 3, these questions are hard.

[RudyOosterndijk]

I got 3, these questions are hard.

Yes they are, I am afraid. That is because I initially planned to make a huge article with some interesting historical facts and even more annotations.
So please don't be sad about not being a "true expert". The quiz is more a display of trivia than a real test.

However, I added some questions that you could easily read up on to improve your result (Boblopette's best result, Buka, Doncamillo and DanRos's common thing, drivers' nations etc.).

[Gzehoo]

I had 5/16 in this quiz. But I knew 7...

[maclape]

6/16 half of them swinging for the fences and praying it would work out

[RobertRacer]

First time that I have beaten Maclape.

7/16.

[RudyOosterndijk]

Stats-time

Gzehoo finishes 5th, which is the best result in his career - the same applies to Trigger Happy who finished 5th twice already. With 198 points Happy412 passes 2011 runner-up TuomoH in the all-time table. Maclape wins four sessions in a row and scores his second hattrick (pole, race win, fastest lap).

Hattricks since 2011

3 - Alonso (MAS 2012, IND 2012, MAS 2015)
2 - Maclape (AUS 2015, GBR 2015)
