Congrats to grndl and Team Steve, great job, good game!

Well, first of all: Congratulations to neeeveee for her first complete saison, well done!

Tyrrell had quite a difficult season, after a dominated 3rd saison the new car didn't do what it promised, the suspension was suboptimal and the engine which we advanced from the season before had a few dropouts. We had a few probs even with the electronic system as well.
At least we managed to get a few podiums and we're 4th in the end. When the season started i hoped a bit that we had a chance to challenge Team Cooper, but in fact the competition was very high and it almost was a lonely season for us.
To add insult to injury we are in the red now so next season we have to change to a homologated stadium car which is already used by some other teams to reduce costs.

On the other hand i am proud to know Team Tyrrell as one of the most traditional teams in the MAD-Laps GP Series to lead the eternal points and finish statistics. We definetely will enter the next season and i'm sure we'll do well. The prototype of the new car is ready yet and we are working hard to have good chances next time.
We actually do not know who's gonna drive next season for Tyrrell, it depends a bit on the rules, as rumour has it we're going to have a tier system and if so, we have to see which options we have.

Finally, thank you to the admins for another great ligue!

Nice job grndl and Team Steve. It's healthy to have the drivers and the team championship going different ways, and it has been a great season. Looking at grndl's stats, who would have predicted this result in the first third of the season? But you were always there or thereabouts, and it turns out that the championship probably hinged on just a few overtakes.

And of course, thanks to Mad, Mid, Mod and Mud for combining for another perfect season of racing. Thanks for your time and effort, and often sacrificing your own performances for admin purposes.

And SpankyTech? Only a fool would not fear us for next season. You don't need a calculator to work out that we made a clear 3.45997 per cent performance improvement, and assuming all the other teams stand still or deteriorate, we will be in the mix for sure in the 2015 Spring season. Sorry I missed the first rounds, too. I really had no idea!

First of all, thank you very much Mad and Mid for the time you've spent on it, it has been a great success Wink

Also Moldo for the result updates each week Smile

Concerning Cooper, Swat has carried it on his shoulders from the beginning and it is thanks to him if we are 3rd in the team championship, thanks a lot Mate.
Mrs Longpole, before the season started, you told me you might not be there at each event, but actually you were and i sincerely thank you for it. Wink

I hope you enjoyed it.

I leave it to teamboss DaCheese to explain away our singularly average performance, in the tradition of the Ferrari pitcrew 100m relay team.
Thanks everyone for taking part and contesting the races so fiercely. This competition is the keenest gaming rivalry event I've ever known, gl all for the next season.
Moldo: great work simply Thankyou m8 Very Happy

What is there to explain? I'm pleased with Green Missile Racing's first season in Formula Mad. It was always unlikely that we would be challenging for podiums but we achieved our season target (beating SpankyTech). Which reminds me Spanky, you owe me some money for repairs to my estate... Twisted Evil

Great racing as always from everyone!

Thanks all.

It was a fun season for me and as Bunsen mentioned I didn't think after the results of the first 5 races that I would have a shot at winning the Season. Even before the Season started I thought I might, at best, get a 5th place but I guess I had some good fortune.

It's a shame the team came so close to winning the constructors but there isn't much you can do about dodgy internet connections and absenteeism. Cool

So congrats to the Steves.

My thanks go out to the admin team for an, on the whole, smoothly run Season, the track authors for some fantastic tracks and I can't wait for the next one to come along next year when I'm pretty sure I won't have so much luck second time around. Smile

We "stated" it to have 4 seasons in one year. Since this one was the 4th season, there's gonna be a pause before the next one. Not before 2009.
Maybe the time needed to close the discussion about tiers or not tiers, balanced teams and so on.

Looks nice Pepper but you'll need more than that to face the onslaught of SpankyTech next season, we'll be back with a vengeance.

I'm confident, our car has many improvements. Cool

If other teams are balanced, Cooper could have a chance to win both drivers and teams championship.

Autosport spies noticed a black stadium-outline car moving at high speed in the Mad Arena last night. It's been suggested that the car is the Green Missile FMS4.5, a test mule for next year's FMS5 chassis. Streaks of green in blurry photos of the car give weight to this argument.
