Two annotations on the results:
- Godoy dominated Race 2 until the final corner, when he ran out of fuel due to having pushed too much.
- The same happened to Rodriguez in Race 1 (while running 9th) and to C.R.Jimenez in BOTH RACES while comfortably running in the points.

Penalty points:

Maria del Carmen Alvarez - 3 - Dangerously rejoining the track.

Since these ladies clearly need to improve, they will be shoved in a good ol' fashioned DOS computer with a certain simulator. (2cr)

Running out of fuel three times out of four?! Whoever's responsible for doing the fuel calculations is going to get fired. :facepalm:

Verania Andres - Simulator Round
Maria del Carmen Alvarez - Simulator Round
Carla Wilkinson - Simulator Round
Gabriela Alessandra Castaneda - Simulator Round
John Pearson - Simulator Round
Raquel Rodriguez - Simulator Round

Hernandez and Berta have organized a joint testing session at the team's simulator facilities before heading to Uruguay

1-65: The driver understands the peculiarities of car and track - driving performance improves.
66-100: A bad performance lead to a lack of confidence.

Andres...45: Everything goes well. She's really trying hard to learn how to qualify. (+9 grip)
Alvarez...34: Same as for Andres. But she has to learn how to race too... (+20 grip)
Wilkinson...71: Getting soundly beaten by her less-quoted teammates is a fair hit to her confidence. (-19 grip)
Castaneda...1: A great start, but she fails to follow up so much on that (+3 grip)
Pearson...89: The only boy of the lot is flattered by the girls' attention...and fails quite hard (-9 grip)
Rodriguez...26: She's the fastest of the lot, as always. (+15 grip)

Oscar Sandoval - Team Building
Rafael Muralha - Team Building
Cecilia Ugarte - Team Building

These drivers, who mostly live at home with their families, will spend a couple of days at the team facilities before flying to Uruguay.

1-65: They just don't want to leave anymore!
66-100: The whole thing was... meh. And the team base's area is not really that safe...

Sandoval...87: Being the home boy isn't always easy. (-12 grip)
Muralha...24: He surprisingly gets along with the team much better than Sandoval. (+8 grip)
Ugarte...81: No one noticed she even was there. (-3 grip)

Diego Moggia - Back to school

The former karting ace spent most of his life having to concile school and racing career. Now it's time for school to begin again.

1-80: No problem for Diego, he's used to it.
81-100: SAF4 is quite a step up from karting, though - coping with the pressure is harder than he thought.

73: A bit harder than karting, but he knows how to deal with the pressure. (+9 grip)

Julio Jimenez - Internet Forum

Jimenez joins a famous Internet forum, just as many of his colleagues did. Most of them are satisfied and love it - Hevel, on the other side...

1-80: Everything goes well: the forumers are happy to welcome a new crop of young members.
81-100: Sometimes you need to take a step back...

79: It's not that bad. Although someone tried to threathen him with some thing called "CFP 32000" (+2 grip)

novitopoli · Post by **novitopoli** » 22 Jan 2017, 21:26

Caio Collet - Parachuting Session
Gianluca Petecof - Parachuting Session
Ana Sofia Santana - Parachuting Session
Xavier Santillan - Parachuting Session
Jorge Agramonte - Parachuting Session
Rafael Muralha - Parachuting Session

Eurofarma and Carreras got together today to organize a joint skydiving day for their drivers, in order to celebrate Collet's maiden win. Muralha, a good pal of Collet, will join them too.
1-80: That was fun! A good shot of adrenaline can do wonders.
81-100: Ouch! That hurted a bit...

Collet...24. He loves this way of celebrating wins! (+7 grip)
Petecof...95. Well, the guy would have preferred to be more in the spotlight today. (-8 grip)
Santana...17. It's just her way of having fun, nothing could be better for her. (+20 grip)
Santillan...42. A bit scared before jumping, but boy, was that cool. (+9 grip)
Agramonte...14. Same as his teammate - cool day, huh? (+12 grip)
Muralha...59. Great day, despite a bit of troubles while landing. (+16 grip)

Ricardo Miranda - New Interest
Oscar Sandoval - New Interest

Both Miranda and Sandoval weren't that much focused last week...what's going on? Are they into some new particular hobby, or what?

1-80: That hobby's a something useful, who helps their focusing while in the car.
81-100: They spend days and nights on it - this doesn't help when stepping into a racing car.

Miranda...58: Getting into model cars is actually a quite interesting way to bring "racing" in the daily life. (+17 grip)
Sandoval...58: Gaming may be a bit more mainstream, but it's not that bad either (if you can set yourself limits...) (+7 grip)

Aria Hevel - Simulator Round

Hevel's currently leading the standings, but Rodriguez is stronger than ever and she probably needs to up her game a bit. Will she be able to?

1-65: Working on a simulator for a day gives her the bit of performance she needs for her title challenge.
66-100: She fails to find that performance, falling back a bit.

29. Hevel sets some astonishing times, especially in her qualifying simulations. Total BR guys are quite surprised. (+29 grip)

Team Building is a 2-tokens upgrade, thus you cannot use it. Godoy and Jimenez will go Back to School instead.

1-80: The driver can master double-dutying between school and track.
81-100: The driver has some troubles at school, this won't improve his racing.

Godoy...36. Everything fine, teachers always liked him. (+14 grip)
Jimenez...75. Teachers aren't impressed, but he somehow can cope with it. (+1 grip)

The next round at Puebla will be run tomorrow.

Valdes - Internet Forum 1CR

novitopoli · Post by **novitopoli** » 23 Jan 2017, 16:26

Enzo Fittipaldi - Simulator Round

Fittipaldi has had some problems during the first rounds of the season - the guys at Pillan think a bit of training in their simulator will do him good.

1-65: He finally gains a bit of pace.
66-100: Nope, he ain't living up to his surname.

54 - He fares better than even his team thought. Not bad. (+24 grip)

Matias Valdes - Internet Forum

Meanwhile, SAF4 drivers have all but conquered this famous Internet board on Grand Prix racing. Valdes was one of the few ones still missing.

1-80: He has a good time with all of his colleagues.
81-100: Internet forums aren't something for everyone.

4 - He's more of a lurker, but everything's fine. (+4 grip)

Race will follow shortly, before the FE final at Paris.

March 23 - Autodromo Intl. Miguel E. Abed - Race 1

Qualifying

Race

Fastest lap
Raquel Rodriguez - 1.39.480

You can guess, everyone but Rodriguez (second Grand Chelem in a row) and Wilkinson spent most of the time fighting for positions. The fight for 3rd between Pearson and Hevel was impressive and lasted half the race, while the fight for 8th between Fittipaldi and Miranda held off just about everyone else.

novitopoli · Post by **novitopoli** » 23 Jan 2017, 17:32

March 24 - Autodromo Intl. Miguel E. Abed - Race 2

Qualifying

Race

Fastest Lap
Carlos Ramon Jimenez - 1.39.130

Race 2 was much more boring than Race 1, with Rodriguez again thrashing the field in front of Castillo, who this time managed not to bin it, and Godoy, who spent the whole race trying to overtake Hevel until finally making it during the last lap.

Following a "injury", Maria del Carmen Alvarez will take the next weekend off. In her place, 15-year old Argentine Catriel Mollo will take the seat at the race at Autodromo Ayrton Senna.

Enzo Fittipaldi - Team Building
Matias Valdes - Team Building

Both Fittipaldi and Valdes will spend a day at the Pillan facilities after the first in-season test.

1-65: They like their team and the team likes them. And they like each other too.
66-100: They hate their team and the team can't stand them. And they can't stand each other either.

Fittipaldi...55 - He comes off as a really good and down-to-earth guy, despite the "heavy" surname he's carrying around. (+12 grip)
Valdes...82 - The home boy isn't delighted by all the attentions given to Fittipaldi, to put it lightly. (-13 grip)

Verania Andres - Parachuting Session
Maria del Carmen Alvarez - Parachuting Session
Catriel Mollo - Parachuting Session
Carla Wilkinson - Parachuting Session
Jorge Agramonte - Parachuting Session

As a prize for their good results, Hernandez decided to gift their ladies a parachuting session in order to increase team spirit. On the same day, they meet their colleague Agramonte, who was there thanks to a gift by some friends.

1-80: They get a big adrenaline rush which they are able to transfer behind the wheel.
81-100: Something could always go wrong.

Andres...97 - Almost having to resort to the emergency cord wasn't the kind of "rush" she needed. But at the end, it went well. (-5 grip)
Alvarez...18 - Despite having had a small injury, she can do everything perfectly. (+19 grip)
Mollo...35 - Begging to do it again right after the landing. (+20 grip)
Wilkinson....82 - Ouch! Landing on a cactus isn't quite the best thing to end such an experience with. (-9 grip)
Agramonte...47 - Spent too much time looking at the girls to gain some actual advantage from this day (+2 grip)

Raquel Rodriguez - A Day at the Races.
John Pearson - A Day at the Races.

Rodriguez and Pearson are invited by the WilliamsF1 team at the Cyprus Grand Prix. They have the opportunity to meet the team principal, the engineers and above all Williams aces Urrutia and Kirchhöfer.

1-65: They love the experience and they are more determined than ever in pursuing their F1 dream...
66-100: ...but jet lag could play a part too.

Rodriguez....80 - Never ever travel to Europe between races. (-17 grip)
Pearson...13 - He got some important contacts - being "British" helps. (+22 grip)

Gabriela Alessandra Castaneda - Master Class

In addition to attending the Cyprus race, Castaneda will have the opportunity to do some work with Urrutia on the following Monday.

1-50: The girl isn't that bad, Santi says.
51-100: Why bother setting up a "master class" if you don't have some bags of talent to begin with?

30 - She finally shows that speed she lacked in the last rounds. Still, Santi's wondering why Berta haven't sent Rodriguez to the master class. (+53 grip)

After a quick bit of googling, Carlos Sandoval quickly realises that there are no horse racing venues in Honduras and buys them tickets to a large motorsport meeting.
