Sorry Billy, looks like I messed up what was going to be a perfect season for you :(

Took lots of planning to do it, and if it had not rained you were going to win.

Billy, I don't agree, your setup and driver are still ahead of mine. I just played the odds in this last race a little better than you did. I expect you to collect more wins than me until the end of the season but in the last 5 or 6 races I'm hoping I can compete a little closer than the first 6.

Fabio, I agree, its been 5 season since my previous win, and 10 since the win before that - I still enjoy the game and keep racing.

This season billy is superfast on dry and i also think he's quite pushing a bit his driver as well (not that much but enough to let us eat his dust).. few hopes for us to steal from him any 1st place on dry races.
On full wet instead my guess is we gonna have quite some fun (especially me ;)

About my plans... i was supposed to fight for promo on next season, but i've messed up my driver training/contract so i need to get promo now or never sorry guys.. but i also think that no one but me and billy(especially him) have a fit driver for pro atm!

Can't wait for a wet race, watching you (Fabio) and William fighting it out. Who know who else in the pack has a very good wet driver,

I would be looking for parking while watching the wet super racers!!!!!!

I've got a very young driver with almost no experience

My driver is as ready for Pro as any of the drivers I've had in a long time. I'll be honest though, I enjoy the game at the amateur level, I've never really enjoyed being in Pro. I enjoy the process of choosing a driver and training them, starting young enough to be competitive from the beginning and training them to be a top amateur driver.

My guy might be ok in pro, concentration is a bit low but otherwise looking good :D

Well with the crazy amount of testing Billy has done (for a season and a half, and probably going for another half) I don't think anybody's got his number, wet or dry (unless he messes up or has bad luck with weather). Probably not even using too much CT, if at all, and for what, his driver must be pumped up and ready for Master :P

IMHO William got lucky with the weather on A1-Ring, it was his driver's FT and he was most likely pushing a lot (rightly so too). But on the other hand he must have pretty good SF to pull a weather change pitstop at 23s, albeit he did pit 1 lap later! Which in the end was what bitten Billy the most.since he had a 33s one.

I don't think Billy will lose any more races (except the situations above :D). And given his finances I wish him good luck to breeze past Pro and get to Master, though I am not sure he'll be able to keep that "nuts" driver :)

PS: My driver is Pro material too even if I reset his Moti to 0, and happy to get wet as any other kid at the pool :P

Yes it was my FT, but I didn't have enough energy to push the CT so ran rather conservative CT. I won because I ran softer tires and lighter fuel load as I took the gamble it would rain. This meant better use of TCD and if you look at the laps I won the race before the rain came. So purely a strategy choice lead to the win :D (Yes I'm quite proud of it ;) )

The pit stop was good because of the 1 lap I waited. I don't have very good staff nor facilities.

I agree. For Billy to lose another race he'll need to be unlucky again. My driver will get better toward end of the season as he still is carrying too much weight. But I still doubt I'll catch Billy.

i have another theory which is that it was your driver favourite track therefore he overperformed. at the end then maybe high CT and whatever else.
but its my point of view^^

This win at Jyllands-Ringen wasn't deserved, Fermin was robbed.

All I can say is a brilliant race and strategy Fermin, you should have won, You really impressed me.

Thank You to all who really gave me a hard time this season. We were a very strong group and the 1st 5 guys (Fabio, William, Fortan and Montes) could easily won many other Amateur groups.

I enjoyed it very much and hope you all have a successful season 64

You didn't really have a hard time Billy :) but nice of you to say.

Good luck in Pro to all top 4 who are all promoting this season. Certainly was a battle for 2-3-4, given that all of them have promoted. Hope to see you in Pro/Master in a few seasons!

Nice last race, too bad the rain stopped so late, or it would've been a much more interesting race.
