I'd like to thank my friends and family for being so understanding over the last four years when I've said "Hang on, I just need to finish this race and cloud save" one too many times.

I'd especially like to thank Larry for information that was critical in changing this from just maintain my position to the final 100% completion run. I'd also like to thank every member of the Team IRA (past and present) for keeping me sane, especially Elpreciado for creating such a good gold winning non-professional team and Tkootstra for picking up where he left off. It's not about the gold but it is worth it for the chat, ideas, knowledge and support. Without the team I wouldn't be making this post.

I'd also like to thank FM for creating a game that I've played almost continuously for four years. That is completely unprecedented in my history of game playing. I might have complained about bugs, poor commercial models and just plain unfairness of the game but I'm still here and still playing.

Whether I now continue to do so to maintain my 100% completion position is another matter. I shall treat the 100% completion in the same way as the 100% garage. If I finish an update with more gold in the bank than is required to reach 100% completion then I will consider that to still be 100% completed. I may not do all the updates and run all the races as upgrade sales are now an important factor in optimising gold spending.

Race on.
