Well, Douglas was peeved to have been beaten by a Mastercard Lola, driven by his sister of all people! Disgruntled all round at Williams, I think...

It does puzzle me that there should be such a great discrepancy between the performance of two cars from the same team.

That's more like it. Both Williams-Renaults on the front row and both Lolas at the back. Douglas Mann on pole and his sister dead last. Douglas likes this symmetry; Pippa is reminding Douglas of their podium together in the last race, where she beat him; Douglas retorted that neither of them won regardless of them occupying 66% of the podium.

Double DNF for the Mann siblings, one of whom is trying to win the championship? That is rejectful.

Just updated data and in this series, Douglas has a 50% DNF record, and 75% for Pippa. Are they overdriving these cars or something? Might expect it of the Mastercard Lola, but not so much the Williams Renault!

(By the way, glad to see the return of this. More please!)

It was the classic error by most of the frontrunners. The sky's were dark when the session started, but the track was dry. Most of the backmarkers went out early, and set their times before the massive storm hit. This resulted in a reverse grid.

What the...? What a massive bathplug from Williams. How does the lead Williams driver end up 22nd while his sister in a bathplugging MASTERCARD LOLA FORD ends up 7th? Pippa is giving Douglas such a hard time that tomorrow in the race, he will either be totally dejected or totally fired up to prove a point against Pippa.

Well we got it wrong and we were told it would stay dry, still as Graham Hill said, you meet a nicer people at the back of the grid. Still will be racing to get a few points.

For the record, I've decided that all I will copy from the computer are the results and weather. Furthermore, I've copied in the original GDB files, so each track now has it's real number of laps, in this case, Monaco will be 78 laps instead of 20. Also, I'll leave all the retirements/race events up to the roleplayers. In my opinion, it makes for a better experience.

I was lucky not to end up in the crash involving Zimmer, Mori and Mann, as I saw no yellow flags and the wreckage was just past the kink in the tunnel. After that, it was a simple cruise to the finish. I could have lapped everyone if I could have been bothered.
