Good to finally see some updates. Even though these updates are not big, its still something new. Something new now and then definatly keeps us entertained, and a lot more happy! Good to see some action!
How do you know he could not driver faster with the slicks? I am sure he took it easy, no? Anyway, you get the point I was making. You cant accuse him for taking it too easy.
A driver can move off for one guy, and defend against another one. wow! Like I havent done that in like... since I started sim-racing. Im being more nice with friends than enemies. Weird, huh?
In F1 last season, team-orders were disallowed, which was the main reason why people hated it being done. In iTCC, team-orders are allowed, as there are no rules against it. Oh... And the difference here is that in F1, the teams tell their driver to back up, while in ineX, the management does not tell the drivers what to do - there is no need to, as they are extremely good team-mates, backing each other up. A driver letting another driver through a bit easy, is not "team-orders" (as the team does not order him to let the car behind by) as you refer to. It is basicly a driver letting another driver passing more easily. Is it not forbidden to stop pushing 110% if you're leading with 30 sec in an endurance race with 20 mins to go as well? There is nothing wrong with driving 1 sec slower a lap when in the lead, there is nothing in the rules against it. It is simply called team-work, which ineX seemed to have most of this weekend. Of course you try to work with your team to get a championship title. Of course you let your team-mate by if that gives him a chance to win the title, and of course you try to help him as much as you can, to make him do just that - to take the title. It is called team-work, something I must say ineX were really good at this round. The bumpdrafting worked perfect, they were patient, and they never gave up. And for that, I'd like to congratulate the team for the brilliant work they put in.
I do not like at all what Oscar did, and I am not talking about SR here. But still... taking a personal example: I would let Kenneth O'Keefe by anytime if he was faster. I would defended as **** if Runas had tried (no hard feelings, Runas Had to get an example ). There is nothing wrong with that, really. Its part of racing. Just like in F1 in the last race last year.
Now, we can also go through the times when Simon was driven off in earlier rounds, but there is no point in doing that. What has happend happend, and ineX did their best to get as many points as possible. They made it, and Simon is the champion so far.
Would you also blame the Toyota(???) car that let Hamilton through in the last race in F1 a few years ago for letting Hamilton through, as he was "slowing a lot, and let Hamilton pass easily", which led to Hamilton winning the champ?

I am searching for a nice team who wants to do some league-racing, especially endurance races.
I did apply to get it verified earlier, but they turned it down unfortunatly. I tried again before the race, but did not get an answer before it had started, unfortunatly.
Sorry guys, due to some confusion between two programs, Race 1 seems to be gone :/ But Race 2 is up on-demand! I hope thats not a big problem, and I hope you all enjoyed the stream while it was up.
Today, we will broadcast the 4th round of the iTCC 2011. The stream starts 17:30 UTC, where we will have a 30 min "studio" before the qual, which starts 18:00 followed by three races. The studio will contain discussion about the coming round (4), and we will also take a look back from season 1 and 2, and more. So join our broadcast on http://www.livestream.com/tommy24, and watch the best drivers battle it out!
