Post-Race Analysis: 2017 UAE GP(16/16)

What a thriller. In the end, Vidal's car lacked the pace on track to win this race, and he did make his 1-2 mistakes that made him fall down the food chain. On the other hand, Jeremy Woodford earned his lunch money in this one, controlling the race from the front, faultless, and did a good job after the safety car restart as well.

Disappointment about the missed title? Some, yes, but we made such progress over the last two seasons that I'm sure we will get another chance next season... or not. There is something cooking between the big money teams and the GMA...

Development Report:
We put some last minute work in for some suspension stuff, but design is already focussing on the 2018 car... On the supplier side, I liked what we got this season, and our financials look great... we may invest into an upgraded scouting facility or some design/factory wing... things are getting costly though...

News Report:
The Award season has come and gone and for their great 2017 season, Iker Vidal and Dan Martinson won Driver & Manager of the Season!

Thornton Motorsport have now officially accepted promotion to the World Motorsport Championship and will return for the 2018 season. Another race team based at Guildford, they continue their search for a solid driver lineup...

Speaking of drivers, here is the first real move, and the yellow press is all over this one. Zoe Sharp, the ace for the Kitano outfit, got FIRED today and signed a two year deal worth $1.488M with Windsor Racing. Rumor has it, she seduced the 19-year old son of a Kitano board member... They bought out her contract for a TON of money last offseason...

A GMA high council meeting was announced for Tuesday, December 5th, to seal the ruleset for 2018. There are some rumors about a last minute effort by Steinmann & Rossini for a rule change.
