OK, due to the confusion. I get to call a restart.
Please post your first orders again and your selection again. Sorry.
But the custom package is a big issue. While I think the turbo package is better than before, the sway bar still has it's advantage since there are at 3 turns a lap that will benefit. And the performance WC option gives flexibility.

Post or PM?

I'm just wonderin' 'cause if you want us to post 'em, for some reason, then that's ok with me, too.

Really not a problem Rah...sent!

[Sparrowhawk]

Orders sent earlier, but I wonder if anyone gets disqualified after 2 false starts .

I guess using up the extra fuel doing these will mean we need to pit earlier?

(by the way, the "pit stop" has images of an actual NASCAR race running through my head....I am trying to imagine a driver telling the crew that he was only going to slow down so that they could do their work as he passes through pit row ).

Somehow, I thought I was car 6. Did you change the start positions when you added Vovan, rah?

ACK!

[rah]

No, if you check back, you've always been 5

And they're off. No crashes this time.
Great to see 3 turbos and 3 swaybars. We'll get a good feel for which works better.
And One performace to see if the compromise works.
Vovan makes a move to get a slipstream, and Tuber ends with the same.
Hopefully with the less harm from crashes, this will be a more thinking man's race.

Good luck to all as we watch positioning for two turns from now as the track narrows.

Now accepting orders for turn 2.
