I was just predicting that the stream would be a huge car crash in terms of commentary when I Matt told me he'd be doing it with some Finns.
It's hard to match up to the quality of Chris Ford/Thilo Falkenberg/Chris Wilkinson, since they are the ones who can do live commentary without stuttering or losing their train of thought.
Sorry I couldn't join you guys for this race. Had little practice, and I always had tyre problems very early on in my stints, so I thought I'd sit this one out and do something else...
Anyway, how was the stream? And did the Kings bros behave?
I'm so embarassed at that final hour that...I don't know. Too much bad luck during the whole race, apart from us gaining 16 places total from avoiding both pile-ups during the first 15 minutes, but then we got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time when I T-Boned two spinning cars (separate incidents) in front of me, that made me come to a full stop as well both times. Very, very frustrating to see our race already ruined by these situations (we lost 8 of the places we had gained from the pile-ups), not even Cem's quick pace saved it, after all that time we lost. And then comes Matt and pretty much gets a flat tyre, stops giving a **** about the race and then gives it engine damage and stops the car, knocking us to dead last, 7 laps down. What a ****ing joke. I'm glad this was our last race of the season, because as far as this kind of racing goes, I don't want to race with attitudes like this.
About the incident between the #26 and #22, I still think it was completely the #22's fault.
P.S EDIT: I told you that that setup was shit, Matt...
So...it's going to be interesting to start from the last row, to say the least. If my internet holds up, if Matt's recently bee-sting-swollen...uh...self makes it through his stint and if the car is still in one piece for Cem to take to the finish, then that's great.
So I guess I'll have to step in the BUS and race this time as well...sigh. I feel confident for this race after a couple of hours' practice, but I'm still a not too happy at having to ditch TBO practice to take over from Tuomo. Still, there's no way I'll pass up a chance of racing with Cem Dalda
Madeiran pride right there, Ruben Micael just turned that match over for Braga! (I can already foresee an hour worth of Portuguese news coverage just for that tomorrow)

Reason : New edit - Provost balls'ed half of this up on stream :P
Even the Aston 24h this year had about an average of 150 people watching the stream. From what I've seen, the streamed NDR events have always attracted about 45-50 people in the top tier series races. Would be cool to see LFS being a bit more promoted to the "simracing audience" so those figures could rise a little bit.
