The weekend was set up nicely, Rosberg's XRX team was leading Hamilton's X44 team by 16 points going in to the weekend and with X44 being the quickest in qualifying, they closed this gap by 4 points going in to the semi-finals.

With each team in different semi-finals, it was X44 who struck first, winning their heat and also setting the fastest time in the "super sector" which awarded them an extra 5 points.

XRX responded well, winning their semi-final and Johan Kristoffersson pointing out that if X44 win, they only need to finish 4th (out of 5) to secure the Championship.

X44 had a good final, taking the lead going into the 1st corner with XRX tucked in behind in 2nd place. X44 led the whole race but by the time Molly Taylor (XRX's female driver) came for the switch over, she was down in 4th and it appeared that they had car trouble.

This wasn't the case though - Kristoffersson having a comfortable lead over Sainz in 5th and doing just enough. Both X44 and XRX finishing the season on 155 points with Nico Rosberg's team winning the championship having won more races over the course of the season.


It was an enjoyable inaugural season for Extreme E with plenty to look forward to in future years (Covid permitting of course). This final X-Prix in the UK was my favourite of them all as the conditions and track layout suited this kind of racing and hopefully we'll see more like this next year. And hopefully at some point, they'll find a way for fans to be track-side too.

Roads tend to cross)) Glad to see you, how are you doing here?

🙂 Can't complain 🙂 I see Blurt as an investment at the moment so just slowly growing my account - you've probably seen that I'm giving Steem a big push in the hope of renewing my faith in it and just plodding along here. How about you?

I do not know what to say))
Apparently yes, BLURT is more suitable as an investment.
I just finished reading a comment thread regarding disallowing delegation and, above all, UpVu.
This is a very revealing debate)))
I didn’t have the opportunity (and the desire, to be honest) to take part in them and I don’t know how they ended.
By the way, I had a delegation for UpVu which I have withdrawn. I thought, since a movement to improve the ecology and atmosphere has begun here, why not. A couple of reputable users even said that as soon as my delegation returned, they would be able to support me. Well, okay, I was even interested.

Ha ha ha ... the delegations came back to me. Besides the fact that I lost some of the possible earnings, I did not gain anything)) Expectedly.
So while I see more empty words here than ...
I saw your last replies highlighting your position on BLURT. And I am ready to agree with her and also become a conscious egoist. Voting your post is not fundamentally different from using a bot to support your post. I do not plagiarize, bots are not prohibited.
If BLURT is positioned as a platform of freedom ... so let there be complete freedom of my choice)))
If I understood correctly, you delegated UpVu and tomoyan. I have a question, what is your UpVu delegation? He votes well for your posts and we have about the same steaks.

Yes, your suggestions and ideas for Steemit are great. I would like to see there a fresh face (interface) and generally the elimination of a bunch of bugs. At least a normal page update.
I'm wondering what will happen to Steemit after Sun leaves. This can lead to two opposite vectors of development - down or up.

My position here and there is rather expectant and observant. There is too little information to make a final decision.

Regarding BLURT, I agree with you, it is rather a long-term investment. I see an upward trend here and it might be interesting. Am I ready to be socially active here ... I don't know yet.

Ah yes, the UpVu debate - certainly the moment that I decided that Blurt was going to be an investment for me and not a community that I will work hard to integrate myself in to. There are a few good users with integrity but those that got UpVu banned are hypocrites.

My UpVu delegation is 45,000 Blurt and 5,000 to tomoyan. The tomoyan delegation helps to get a better upvote from this site - https://blurtblock.herokuapp.com/blurt/upvote/ - 1 upvote every 20 hours.

Delegations to both aren't available at the moment on blurt.blog but I know 2 different ways of doing it - ping me a message on Discord if you want me to share.

There are a few people who say that they won't upvote you if you've used UpVu but they're mostly people who probably won't upvote me anyway. So I can guarantee myself 100 Blurt per day or wait a month to get 500 Blurt. And given that you can keep increasing your delegation, an 80 Blurt upvote today will be 90 Blurt in a month... 160 Blurt in a year, etc. Perhaps one day they'll decide to ban voting bots altogether, then you can just self-upvote like everybody else - including the top witnesses.

I understand you, thank you very much for your answer and for offering help. I decided to observe until the end of the year for the purity of the experiment, and then I will decide on a further strategy.
Yes, those who promised support are apparently very modest ... I don't see them anymore. It looks like they had one single goal, but I'll still be watching. 🖐️ 😊 👍

You're welcome - you're not the only one who's been promised support if they stopped using voting services and were subsequently disappointed with the "support" they received. Because for me, this is an investment, I'd rather know my returns 👍

There doesn't seem to be any dedicated support here from any team. This can happen by accident. Apparently, the support team exists only in words. Then why is anyone surprised at the result of using boosters and bots? ))
Okay, let's see, for the purity of the experiment and conscience, I'll wait a little with delegation, and then we'll see)
Thank you for your support as long as you are the only one on this platform to provide it.🖐️ 😊

There are some curation accounts for various tags - I think that some of them receive delegations to help provide support. I'm really not sure how it works 🤷‍♀️
