My usual day of frustration.......lost a Podium in the BBC game when i "appeared to be lapping slower" just after the safety car came out near the end and because it was bunched up i lost 4 places.....crashed out of first in a Public game and in another BBC game i had i retired for the 3rd race in a row to slip to 4th in the standings....
On a more Positive note i maintained my excellent start to my season in one of my Private games after 6 races ,3 Poles,3 Wins and 5 Podiums and am leading the championship by 15 Points
Hard luck Aaron i know how that feels

davidocolthard...do you always race with soft tyres? If you are on a 2-stopper, it does not work.

Is this fact or opinion?
I always start my races with a fresh set of soft tyres, then use fresh hard tyres after each stop (usually 2)
I've hit another bad patch of form, with a couple of retirements today, and I still haven't won a race in my first A1 GP series, I'm just glad if I can make it onto the podium, so you're doin' really well Matt

Both fact and opinion. In a race when I was in a Mclaren, I started 2nd behind my teammate. He was on soft tyres and 2 stops, I was on hard tyres and 2 stops. Soft tyres go off after around 10 laps, and I ended up 10 seconds ahead.

Why's it worth it?
You know, there is always the option of creating a second, or third, or fourth, or fifth account!

Well you arent supposed to make loads of files ......i think its a bit stingy to make tonnes of files instead of paying only a tenner for KT
