A nice relaxed league. All of us are pretty new, and we welcome novices who want to learn how the game works.
League not found or inactive
We aren't claiming to be the true F1 championship, or whatever. It's about the enjoyment and hopefully a bit of banter.
Inactivity for more than three days will get you kicked unless you give notice of holiday/absence.

The two Vald drivers made up the front row, with rows 2 and 3 mixed between stkbikeman and RR Industries, the supersoft tyres helping all to sub 1:27 times. Bomber Squad and NuclearTornado on softs were on rows 4 & 5, with one driver on each. The fastest medium qualifiers were the DJStoney2000 team in row 6, followed by matteolaparmigiana and Tommy Langley-Hunt's numeric team sharing rows 7 & 8. Matthewharrison led the back half of the grid on row 9, and most of the rest were new teams, other than Quality Street Racers in row 13 (due to player not being able to log in at present, Tournament Director is aware).
Race results
Joshua Taylor took the win for DJStoney2000, his teammate Harry Brundle was four seconds behind to bring maximum points for the team that came fourth last season. Matteolaparmigiana drivers took 3rd and 4th, with Ben Vettel in the bronze position. After that the teams in the points were mixed, with five teams in the six remaining scoring places. Matthew Harrison's drivers took 5th and 10th spots, putting them in third place in the constructor table. William Thompson for Vald was in 6th following on his Pole. Tommy Langley-Hunt, NuclearTornado and Good Luck Have Fun all had a driver in the points, reflecting a close race between these teams.

Danivon cars were in 4th and 5th starting places on hard tyres, while EKRR were in 6th and 8th on mediums. WARDO were on the back row, also on medium tyres.

WARDO filled the 7 and 8 positions, with EKRR drivers in the last places.
Next up, Malaysia. I can't promise full reports on every race, but I will try and get something up over the season to show standings regularly

Seems a report for each race is well beyond me...
Season 3 ended with DJStoney2000 top of the Rookie table with a comfortable lead. There was a tough battle for second, with Vald being pipped by Matteolaparmigiana after a strong last few races.
Danivon won the Pro league for the second season, with Newburn in second place. We now have 6 teams in Pro, and as long as we don't lose any will have promotion and relegation from Season 5.
Season 4 starts on Saturday, any new teams welcome
