Race edit is up:

https://youtu.be/aVdeAT5cbUk

Thanks out to Malc in helping me secure a third Constructors title in as many seasons racing.
And ecstatic to have secured my first drivers title and the first championship at IRL.

Commiserations to Craig had great battles with you all season. Notably in Canada where you annoyed the hell out of me by killing my race strategy there haha!!

Predictions - Pole, Fastest Lap, Race Winner, Podium Finishers?
Pole - RDH
Fastest lap - Dayo
Race winner - Myself (or would like to haha)
Podium finishers - Myself, RDH, Craig

Have you achieved your goals for this season - what were they?
Yes and no. I aimed to win 3 races and have failed to do so. I have also managed to damage my own chances for those race wins by damaging my front wing probably about six times this season. Usually left me on my longest stints on harder tyres with yellow or red wings with no viable alternative strategy as it's when I just start the stint and really push.

However my recoveries in those situations have been better than expected.

In terms of the drivers and constructors positions I think I'm precisely where I wanted to aim for. Can be satisfied with what has been achieved there.

Will you be re-joining Invictus for another season?
No. I mentioned before I have no current plans to get F1 2017. For many reasons.
The direction I believe codemasters is going toward is not something I agree with so unless something changes; this will be my final league racing season.
However if I feel the game is worth getting I'd be sure to continue. Will wait and see what the general consensus is when it's released.

What car are you hoping for in Abu Dhabi?
Anything that gets me out of the Manor!

Predictions - Pole, Fastest Lap, Race Winner, Podium?
Pole - Shortbread24
Fastest Lap - RDH
Race Winner - RDH
Podium - RDH, Sambamkid and Shortbread24

Who do you see as your current Rival?
As the current championship leader, always aiming to stay with the guy in second in the standings. So Craig.

What are you hoping for with the remainder of this season?
This is by no means digging at the allocations of the cars but all I want is to be able to fight with the other title contenders without being limited too much by the cars limitations.
I want the battle for the title to be decided on track not by the difference in car performance or how well the tyres hold in the pace car by car. Some cars like the Saubers drop the pace at around 50% tyre wear by up to 2 seconds a lap. Most are okay until 60% or more.
Russia as a track should hold up well in this respect as there's barely any deg to worry about!

Predictions - Pole, Fastest Lap, Winner, Podium?
Pole - Hulkenburger
Fastest Lap - Whoever puts the SS on last.
Winner - Sargent_009
Podium - Sargent_009, Myself, Shortbread

Who do you think has the bottle to take Eau Rouge flat out and who do you think will crash-out at Eau Rouge?
I think everyone will take it flat. The struggle is keeping it inside the white lines to avoid penalties and out of the walls if you oversteer. First to crash? Could easily be anyone. But more likely someone in a slower car that isn't as balanced. I've already hit the barrier twice and had a near miss during the practice race. Wouldn't be surprised if I'm the one to bin it haha!

Who is your current Season Rival?
Many drivers on the grid have given me a hard time so far this season.
Narayan in Bahrain, Tizoq and Chicken in Canada, JHT and Rusty in Britain.
In the dry quali in Britain Sargent outqualified me on the same tyre and had the same pace as me in practice there and also at the next race in Belgium. So I expect it to be tough to continue to get good results. So there isn't really just one standout person so far rather a group!

Who do you think will win the Driver's Title?
Nothing is set in stone at this point, but this is probably my last season league racing; therefore I will be trying very hard to take the drivers title here. I've always had consistency but never been quick enough. It's my first realistic performance league and the first time I've found myself in this position; maybe this suits me?
All I can do is try my best and hope for the best!

Who will lose their F1 seat first Stroll or Palmer?
Palmer. But I really hope for the love of god it's Stroll!

Out of all the F1 cars past and present that dominated the sport, which one would you want to drive the most and why?
2008 McLaren as I love the look and sound of it. Although I don't think it 'dominated'.
IRL German GP Predictions - Pole, Fastest Lap, Race Winner, Podium Finishers?
Pole - Tizoq Fastest Lap - Shortbread Winner - Tizoq, Podium - Malc, Rusty
Where are you hoping to finish in the IRL German Grand Prix?
I have no pace in this Renault here. Combination of full traction and the car... Any points will be most welcome.
What are your thought's on yesterday's F1 race at Russia?
Boring. But glad to see Bottas had it in him to hold off under pressure. Highly rate him.
Other than F1, do you follow any other sport?
Not really.

Video link:
https://youtu.be/I0nRnlkehLk
Time of incident in video: 14:05 - 14:19
Drivers involved: Rusty, Myself and Sargent
League (Performance, No-Assists): Performance
What happened: Rusty had an incident up ahead and rejoined the track into the path of other drivers. I made it past just before he hit the racing line but Sargent had to take evasive action to avoid a collision. Very stupid incident.
How did it affect your race?: It didn't but easily could have ended badly if the timing was different. Sargent undoubtably lost some time.
Was the issue rectified by the driver involved?: No

Supporting Evidence:

Time in video: 6:42 - 6:52

Pole - Spud
Race Winner - Shortbread
Podium - Shortbread, Myself then Narayan.
Greatest battle this season so far - I think mine and Narayans' battle in Bahrain was pretty great. Close hard racing really enjoyed it.
Silverstone? - Probably the track I wait for the most in every season. Really fast circuit, many ways to find more time and very fun to race closely on. My personal favourite, home Grand Prix. Also the track I took my very first race win at in PSGL.
Best memories of Silverstone? - off the top of my head I can't think of any tbh. I never get to watch the races in recent years due to working on a sunday. Find highlights haven't really been doing it for me. Feel very out of the loop with F1 atm.
Favourite film? - Don't really have a standout favourite. But I really liked 'The Last Samurai'.

Q1
R1

Very happy with my race - first ever pole position in my 30 races since I signed up for leagues.

Race was great fun was able to pull a nice lead by taking advantage of the bunching up at turn 1 and keep my head down.

Was very worried when I came out behind Craig and couldn't pass him, if it wasn't for that small mistake I'd never have been able to.
Then I had to chase down the two leaders who were on the one stop - didn't think I'd catch them but just kept pushing like mad and managed it somehow!

Great first streamed race for IRL - credit goes out to our commentators Jake and Green.

Great clean racing, minimal lagg issues and the ability to make changes when required to ensure the first two.

What would you like to add to NWA?
A voice of reason and change where necessary.
