Makes me think that if Buemmi didn't get reamed by Kobiyashi in the rear I would be in second place and a whole lot closer to first right now. Oh well, still a few laces left.

This third block of races ends with Singapore next weekend. Then the window will open to pick the last bonus track from Japan, Korea, India, Abu Dhabi and Brazil.
Snipped from the rules page: "The maximum budget of any team throughout the season is $100 million - therefore any transfer made must ensure the overall team is within its budget."
Dang! Did anyone notice we are fifth in the "Leauge of Leauges".
Congrats to Jnky and Mrs Jnky for the 1 and 3 positions as well. I know the season isnt over but I think all the MA'ers participating deserve a "way to go" for thier performance so far. Good stuff.
Indeed, makes me wonder how we'd be doing if none of us had been screwed out of bonus race points in the first few rounds.
We're also running behind very few actual players. The leading mini league is 5 teams run by just 1 named player. The #2 league is exactly the same (different player). The #3 league is the same 2 players/10 teams plus 1 more player x her 5 teams. [Also, note the similarity of player names used in those first 3 leagues: Zio Hancock, Jeremy Cade Hancock and Mary Cade.] League #4 is, again, just 1 player x 5 teams.
This means our entire M/A league is running behind a total of only 4 players!
Exactly, Steve. Although I am not sure what the purpose is, as I've seen no prizes for best league. Unless it's some side thing they have going with friends.
It will allow me to reset my bonus race now but I'm waiting a bit because my transfers haven't been reset to 3. It still says I only have 2 available, as it has since I spent one before the Singapore race.
That wouldn't normally be an issue for me since I rarely use all 3 but picking a new bonus race costs 1 transfer and I don't want to be left with just 1 for the race.
There is actually a bug, I believe. Transfers for next race are not allocated till Tuesday following the previous race. So the transfers you see right now are from last race. Hence if you pick your bonus race now, you will have all 3 transfers tomorrow when it resets. I've actually taken advantage of this programming error a couple of times before. Of course, use at your own risk, this league is buggy enough as is.
