Never too late to pick XCOM back up, it's a great game and your thread tipped me from thinking this was a nice idea to actually doing it.

Cheers Roon, I'll just be happy to be part of the game in whatever function!

Also really glad my XCOM adventures inspired this, good that something positive came out of all that death and destruction :dread:

I've been thinking all day about Twitch logistics following your comments. I'll have to work out how to stream on Twitch. Best bet is to try and set up a trial stream looking at team performance and maybe the practice and qualification of Round 2 just to see if I can get it working well enough for a race instead of a pre-record. If I can get it going, that'll be on Sunday evening with a live race at a later date (probably Round 3).

N.b. That’s not a bad a thing.

I have no idea how to take that, so I'll take it positively!

I couldn't see my name in any of those lists, just wondering if I could be added as I'd love to be part of this

The Euro and Asian leagues have an additional race before Round 2, so I'll post those results tomorrow.

it honestly wasn't meant as an insult. You just really reminded me of the pilot on my last flight.

This looks fun, thanks for including me! We should also try and do that xcom 2 run. That was fun to read to,

Asia-Pacific Supercup - Round 2 Results (League 2)

Rex Kramer bounced back from his 17th place finish in R1 to Grand Slam in China, with pole, fastest lap and the win. However the consistency of Garth and It's Milner keep the Espirit GP team ahead in both Championships.

European Racing Series - Round 2 Results (League 3)

Every driver on the podium finishes in the bottom quarter of the grid in the opening race, showing just how hotly contested the ERS is. The constructors is starting to break into two groups, with the Top 4 starting to breakaway, but SEP and Shafto of the ZRT Firebird are 3pts clear at the top. Will infighting for the Driver's Championship give opportunities to the chasing pack?

Other News:

Roon Mastor has reportedly spent over £13m on car upgrades and HQ developments between race 1 and race 2. Sources close to the Chariot team have been heard to say that the entire season's development budget had already been spent on a plethora of front wing designs and exotic brake materials. Whilst this may bode well for the upcoming race in Beijing, only time will tell if this will make the Chariot competitive all-season long.

Kitano Sport are expected to go well in Beijing with their intricate front wing design. Drivers Neo Cortex and Cuttooth will have to make the most of this opportunity, given their pointless result in Tondela.The team have deployed their reserve driver Peter Crisp in the simulator to ensure the car is optimally set up for the Chinese GP.

Rinks has decided to retire at the end of the season. The Endurance car driver is expected to hand over the number 1 status in the team to team-mate Hound.

Glad to see the team principal investing in my obvious talent.

Let me just check I’ve got this right: either I’ve not been included or I’m outside the top 60? Yay.

Probably the reason you've decided to retire at the end of the season tbh

It’s about time, isn’t it?

GRcade Cup - Round 2 - Qualifying

Qualifying was a mixed conditions affair, with the rain coming down part way through the session, catching a few individuals out on when the track was quickest.

I tried streaming this evening and when I finished I found my mic was muted :fp:

So that video no longer exists! I am set up for streaming now so perhaps we can do a stream of Round 3? That'll most likely be Wednesday evening some time between 7pm and 9.30pm. Round 2 Race highlights will be up Monday evening at 7pm.

God I'm Lance Stroll aren't I?

Hopefully catch your next stream Roonmastor. Don't worry to much about things like muted mics. I've been streaming for years and I still do that. :lol:

Am I the Russell or the Norris of this season?

I’m one of the Haas duo, qualifies ok ish but then falls back horribly in the race.

GRcade Cup - Round 2 - Race

I really enjoyed this evening's race. Some great stories in there. Highlights will be available at 7pm this evening.

For those wanting a "live" experience, I have set it to Première so you can watchalong as if it is live at 7pm (and watch like a normal video shortly afterwards). Hopefully that works as a halfway house prior to streaming Round 3 on Wednesday.

Race 2 Results

Anyone who watched the Beijing race highlights will know that the commentary team really enjoyed watching this race unfold, and the awards this time out awarded themselves.
