Narborough_fox Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Jupp takes First win Red Bell driver Ashley Jupp took the first win of the 2010 FoxesTalk Championship in Bahrain along with the first 25 points of the year. His final race time was 8.756 seconds ahead of Team Wales driver Matt McCaughan who took 18 points and Chris Louth who produced a stunning race moving up 10 places through the race after a poor qualifying display of 13th. Martin Southam and Daniel Cox rounded up the top 5. Defending champion and new Red Bell driver Fi Ridgwell however failed in Bahrain after having to retire after Lap 47, Six laps after New boy and new Reno driber Matt Gray retired through electronics failure. After the race FT Telegraph got an interview with Gray who said " I was very pleased with my performance despite not finishing the race, I am also very thankful to Reno for giving me a chance in F1!" With qualifying for Melbourne under 24 hours away the 2010 season looks like it could be the best yet.
dandannieldanok Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Satisfied with that, managed to nurdle a couple of places from my qualifying without actually overtaking anyone. Strategy Changing tyres early screwed me a little Yea just a bit, lap 2 wasn't it?
GLC Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Satisfied with that, managed to nurdle a couple of places from my qualifying without actually overtaking anyone. Strategy Yea just a bit, lap 2 wasn't it? Yep. it's because i did qualifying in soft tyres
dandannieldanok Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Managed to bag a Red Bull drive in a public game. Yep. it's because i did qualifying in soft tyres Unless you used the same set of softs for all 3 quali runs and therefore completely knackered them, then they'll last about 10-15 laps in the race if this race is anything to go by.
Asha Posted 6 August 2010 Author Posted 6 August 2010 Beautiful. Needed that morale booster. Love the article Narborough_Fox Keep 'em coming
Narborough_fox Posted 6 August 2010 Posted 6 August 2010 Love the article Narborough_Fox Keep 'em coming I will do, FT Telegraph was a bit cheesy though. Thanks for the praise.

Narborough_fox Posted 7 August 2010 Posted 7 August 2010 Ridgewell grabs pole as Jupp fails Pole position for the 2010 Melbourne GP was won by Red Bell racer and defending champion Fi Ridgewell with a fantastic pole time of 1:22:011 only 0.262 seconds ahead of Reno driver and Bahrain driver of the race Chris Louth, the 2nd row was taken by McLewis driver Daniel Cox and Louth's team mate Matt Gray who produced a stunning display to gain a 4th place on the grid drive. He said "I would like to thank my team mate Chris Louth who helped me so much to overcome my disappointment of Bahrain and prepare for Melbourne in the best way possible." Reno have turned there season round somewhat after 2 back markers in qualifying in Bahrain. However Championship leader Ashley Jupp will be ruing a mistake on his final lap which has left him 8th place on the grid almost a second down on pole sitter and team mate Fi Ridgewell. Back of the grid for melbourne will be Fierce Indian driver Alex cook 3.5 seconds off the pace.
AoWW Posted 7 August 2010 Posted 7 August 2010 Grrr, where's my team-mate when I need him. Confused about something (ok, I've forgotten how it works) and I refuse to ask Southam coz he'll only tell me bollocks.

Asha Posted 8 August 2010 Author Posted 8 August 2010 JUPP REMAINS UPBEAT DESPITE Q3 RESULT Red Bell driver and current championship leader Ashley Jupp has argued that he is still in a good situation for tonight's Australian GP, despite achieving a qualifying position of 8th. "Things are going well. I'd have liked to be a place or two higher up the grid but things still look good. I'm still aiming for a podium in the race" he said earlier. "A lot can happen in a race, and I've got to try and make the best of the situation and push on for a decent result." Team-mate Fi Ridgwell will be on pole for the race, but Jupp also pointed out his disbelief at criticism that has come his way regarding the qualifying result..."I'm not sure why people think I've failed in some way. I made no mistake or error, there were just 7 people faster than me. Qualifying is only a small part of the whole weekend, and even though Fi is on pole for the race that doesn't show that I've failed badly for achieving 8th. I'm sure we're on different strategies anyway so even though there was a 0.7 second difference between our times that may not be fully representative of our respective performances."
GLC Posted 8 August 2010 Posted 8 August 2010 Potter Caught With 'Lady Man' After his poor performance in qualifying, Steve Potter decided to have a few drinks, he then made his way to a strip club in down town Melbourne, it is rumoured that he paid a 'lady man' $60 for a full sex, His words were 'No comment' on the issue, stating he only wants to concentrate on the race today Apparent 'Lady-man'
