Invictus [F1] Round 9: Brazilian Grand Prix - 7th June 2017
« on: June 06, 2017, 11:08:01 am »
IRL F1 World Championship
Round 9
Brazilian Grand Prix






The Invictus Racing League continues on it's South American leg of the World Championship, which finds us in Interlagos for the Brazilian Grand Prix. The Brazilian Grand Prix is held at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in Interlagos. Interlagos has a reputation as being a tough and demanding circuit with many challenging corners, elevation changes, a rough surface, and little room for error. Like most major circuits used for Grand Prix in Latin America such as the Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome in Mexico City and the Almirante Brown Autodrome in Buenos Aires, Interlagos was (and still is) located in the confines of a sprawling urban neighborhood in a very large city.

Last time out FabulousChicken took his first win of the season at the Mexican Grand Prix with Ryan and Tranquillity finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively . Many drivers complained of engine reliability due to the high altitude and "thin-air" which meant only 9 cars made it to the starting grid. Sirspud, Hulkenburger and Sambamkid also struggled with engine reliability which resulted in them failing to finish the race.

UK-Tranquillity extended his lead over Craig in the Driver's Championship and looks to secure the first Invictus Racing League's Driver Title. The battle for second is still alive with Ryan and Kieran finding spectacular form in the season's conclusion.

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!

Race edit is up:



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!!

Congrats again!

I had so much understeering it wasn't funny :)
I didn't have time to prepare so I did a few laps in TT and the Ferrari felt so so.. but in the race on the Hard tyres it was so weird to drive...
