A level 1 race simulator has been built
**Australia Grand Prix 🇦🇺 **
We make it through to Q2 with no upgrades because
- it was raining
- No one went out for a final run despite it raining throughout session
However the fairytail ends there as we get trounced in Q2
Liam has had a great start and kept P15 from Kevin in the first sector of lap 1, and now is attacking Albon for P14
Lap 3/58
Zhou had a mechanical fault as he reports he is clipping too much
Lap 4/58
Bottas makes his way past Kevin into P16 at the start of the lap then gets past Liam for P15 in the final sector
Lap 6/58
Liam goes around the outside of Bottas in turn 3 to reclaim P15
Lap 7/58
Bottas uses the DRS to get past Liam at turn 3
Lap 26/58
Kevin gets past Correa at turn 3 and a few turns later reports some underfloor damage

We have got our first real driver as an affiliate! Callum Voisin joins us, we hope we can make him a driver worthy of an F1 seat in the future
We have completed our sponsor engagement activities for March so we get a nice boost in cash
A very interesting looking grid for practice 1 at Suzuka
Is this fixed?? Finally
There was a patch today so probably
Lawson and Kmag combo, thats pretty nice
👍
yeah, when Kmag isn't crashing
He crashed at Saudi I see
yes unfortunately
He would have finished P20 or P21 in Australia if his car didn't have a gearbox fault
Ahhh that sucks fr
An interesting first practice concludes at Suzuka
Unfortunately we get knocked out in Q1 due to the rain not allowing us to do our second run, but we will fight as hard as we can in the race.
Oscar Piastri becomes the first driver not named Max Verstappen to win a race in this save.
Oscar Piastri wins the Japanese Grand Prix
An excellent drive from Liam sees him gain 5 places and finish P13
Kevin managed to have a good race too, climbing up 3 places to P19
Overall a good race for us, we are slowly getting better
Juan Manuel Correa (Haas) and Yuki Tsunoda (VCARB) are the only drivers to not finish
This result:
Moves Liam up 5 places to P15 in the drivers championship
But keeps Kevin rock bottom in P22 in the drivers championship
In the constructors championship we lift ourselves out of last and move up 2 places to P9, ahead of Kick Sauber and Alpine
P13 without upgrades, nice one Liam !
He's the GOAT
