F1Time - S19 - Race4 - Monaco, Monaco

F1Time was full of activity before the 4th race of this Season.
The site Forums were (still are) having hot discussions on
Data Sharing. The Issue arose when some guys found sites which
shared fuel as well as setup info(I actually tried to find those
sites but i cudnt ). Some of them were supporting it as it was
helpful for the noobs but some were strictly against it. All were
expecting to see TaBu's comments but he wisely stood out of this
topic. But he did something because of this discussion. He changed
the DQP of Monaco track completely and most of the guys, including
me, found it difficult to crack.

In C1, i found that some managers found the DQP issue for Monaco.
Mebbe i am wrong .. But i could see seasoned racers toping the sheets
with just 6 GB. And the 7Ultra guys cudnt match it mite mean what i
said before. The Malaysian Brothers ruled this track as they seem
to have found the Perfect DQP for this track. Yih was the man for
this race as he easily topped WU with a 6GB. Vitor and Eld were behind
him but with 7 Ultra GBs. Sow was 4th seemingly with a lesser GB.
The Qual saw YIh giving up the Pole to Sow. Eld was behind them.
The Malaysians were hoping for a victory with the dominance they showed
in WU and Qual. But Rui Ferrera and Muhammed Assad had other plans.
Rui, seemingly with a Driver Fav Track, won the race and Assad came
behind him holding off Sow. Assad in turn became the first non-Audi
racer to score points as well as Podium. Eld dropped out on Lap3
alongside Dontas in an accident. It was a sigh relief for him as
he himself admitted that he sux'd with the Setup and Orders.

C2G1, our Group saw 5 guys failing to complete the Driver Orders as the
Server was down(some say too slow.. i donno for sure) in the wee hours
of the Race Deadline. I made a comedy of errors in this race. The Lack of
Concentration for my Driver seems to affect me as well :(. I decided to
go on for a 2 Stop Meds strategy but by mistake i put in the Distance
in the Fuel Column. With the Fuel for Hard Tyres set for Meds, i was sure
to have a Tyre Explosion. To avoid that i went in for a cut in my DRP
but that too proved to be too much. I just had 75% of my DRP for the race
and didnt see any tyre wear at all which showed that the DRP reduction
was too much. For the results, it was the same old story. Stephen won
the race from Dmitri Kondrat and Nezam. Tej Almeida with his random
driver scored 3 points and that was a Bonus. The Fact that 11 drops
occured in the race put me into 8th posn till the 76th Lap.. But 3
spins in the last 5 laps costed too much and i missed my first point.
Still the 9th posn was better than what i expected. Teammie Thomas
couldnt finish the race as he had a Engine Explosion in Lap29 and
finished 19th.
