Big, hearty congratulations to all the winners this year :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Thank you to everyone who nominated and voted in this year's awards. I think the closeness of some of the categories [2 polls had at least 2 people within 2 votes of each other for the win] shows just what great stuff this community comes out with. On a personal note I'd like to thank everyone who voted and nominated for me in the "Most Helpful" poll - I came 5th last year, 2nd this so hopefully 1st next year!

I'd also like to thank everyone who nominated NDR for any awards, to Ben "DWB" Keough for letting me do it this year, and S14 Drift for doing all the award winners last year so I could copy it :razz:

Thanks again, and lets hope 2010 is an even better year!

See you on track.

Jack "J@tko" Atkinson :)

I want to thank everyone who has voted on me, and everyone who has helped me to get this far, especially Rik de Jong, Kenneth O'Keefe, René van der Kooij and yeah... It will take years to write down all the names, but you all know who you are:thumb:

I had no idea I was ever gonna be in a any poll, or in a team such as F1RST at the start of the season. It's been a great year, and I hope there are many great years to come.

[e.M]

damn, a speach from emmy awards :D:thumbsup:

[vencipower]

Congrats all

[Zdenek CZE]

Congratulations:clapclap:

[Mp3 Astra]

Alright, people are posting their winning speeches in here... I will join this bandwagon:

Commentator of the Year

Gotta say, once again I'm pretty damn chuffed that I've won this award for the second year in a row. The voting was much closer this time and I've got to say, by next year I reckon I won't be making this 'speech' again!

It's great to be recognised for something I enjoy doing so much, so thanks to all the broadcasters, commentators and leagues I've been involved over the last year.

/Cheesy speech

And as deko and boothy both agree, essentially I'm just a voice who turns up for the races while many other people work pretty damn hard to make it work for me, setting up cameras, VTs, remote desktops etc. So thank you to them. You know who you are!

MoE - Best League 'cast

I know I'm just one part of a very big system when it comes to the MoE broadcast, but it's great to see it win again! Thank you to all who voted and thanks to all of these people for making it work:

Deko (making videos, controlling the technical aspect of the broadcast and shouting; he is also my personal secretary)
Boothy (Making camera layouts and saying something sensible every now and then)
All MoE Admins, especially:
DeadWolfBones (Made knowledgable comments all last year)
amp88 (My vote for commentator of the year this year)
Wilko868 (Should be on Radio Le Mans)
hyntty (letting us use his remote desktop and making fun of me)
[DucK] (I'm kidding, he's flippin' useless)
All the MoE drivers who make the league so entertaining!
And the MoE drivers feeding me useful information via IRC and Messenger and all of those who came on to be interviewed
And, of course, MultiBC, 500Servers and DarcyF1.

/cheesy list

[VtS]

Congratulations to all :thumb:

[Gills4life]

I dedicate this victory to world peace! *weep* I'm sorry I get very emotional this means so much to me, it was my dream to be here ever since I was a little girl. Thank you all!

[DeadWolfBones]

Thanks for the return "best skins" award, guys, but the credit goes to caoz for the original design (dating to the 2007-2008 Season Aston GP 24hr), and to the Nashville Predators' logo designer (eheh).

Everyone behind Masters of Endurance would like to thank the LFS community for showing their support in these awards. For the third year running you voted us as the best returning league and for the second year running you voted us as the best league broadcast. You also voted three of our regular commentary team as your favourite commentators.

Everyone behind the scenes at Masters of Endurance is a volunteer. We all put in time and effort to make the series the best we possibly can because we love racing. However, we are humbled when we get recognised by the community like this.

Thank you to all of the voters, our commentary team, all of the teams who have driven in our events, all of our viewers who have watched the stream and to Jack Atkinson for organising the awards this year.

We hope you'll enjoy watching all of our events to come in 2010 and into the future.

- Masters of Endurance staff

[SmegFirk]

Thanks for voting for Fox junkies.

Also a special thanks, I speak personally not necessarily for the team as a whole, to Franky500 whose server downtime for the SR fox server resulted in us setting up "junkies" to fill the void.:thumb:

[CrAZySkyPimp]

Gratz all and lets hope there will be new tracks and cars on next years awards!

And pallu never joining a team to always win best unsigned driver :D

[GreyBull [CHA]]

Thanks for the honorable mention at the most sportsmanlike driver of the year award, it was a great surprise and a great honour for me:):thumbsup: Indeed, I always try to race cleanly and be as nice as possible with my fellow competitors... But, as Mr.Booth mentionned it nicely, I have been also involved in 1 or 2 "unsavorous" incidents and arguments during the year, so I'm kinda glad that the community didn't really notice them or just forgot about them:D

Also, I'm very pleased for my 4th place at both most improved driver of the year and the person you'd most like to meet irl... Well, for the former, I'd say that although my speed hasn't improved so much unfortunately, my consistance and my general knowledge of the game is really much better now, so thanks for the nomination, very appreciated:thumb: And for the latter... Ugh... Didn't know I sounded like an interresting guy, you know, my life is utter boring FYI:D

Grats to the winners, and bring on 2010 !

[Blas89]

Thanks everyone! Thanks!

Oh wait.

[G!NhO]

Right, thanks everyone who voted me, i just still cant understand how g!nho won this last year:tilt:

Basicly for the same reason as you, spam alot and some more. :)

[Pallukka]

Just ignore me next year :razz:

[Mysho]

Just ignore me next year :razz:

Well, you have to find a team to be ignored in best unsigned driver section, which will never happen, which means you'll never be ignored. Isn't that awesome?! :razz:

Congratz all. :)

[bavorak]

Well, you have to find a team to be ignored in best unsigned driver section, which will never happen, which means you'll never be ignored. Isn't that awesome?! :razz:

Congratz all. :)
or maybe if I leave my team... that could be a solution :D
but still it would be difficult...pallukka is hell of a good driver and deserves this prize more than anyone else ;)

[GreyBull [CHA]]

Just ignore me next year :razz:

Oi, Pallu posting in the forum:D Get around more often mate:thumb:

[andRo.]

Pallu on forum, that's weird...he must have eaten something bad. 3 posts in 7 years, now that's a spam. :D

BTW, didn't see these awards before, but now I noticed them, and it was fun to read them. I was too lazy to vote for someone tho, since there was so much to fill in, but it's good that many others voted.

And congratulations to everyone. Some people/teams/leagues really deserve the name of the award, so I guess people voted for the best.

EDIT: Crap, there were polls to vote for people. Didn't know that. :D

[Bob Smith]

How the hell did I win most helpful member again? I've been on this forum less and less (hence only just reading this forum). Oh well, thanks everyone, seems I should keep up the good work. :)

Perhaps it's just a sign of the times that best cruise server was the most hotly contested award.
