It's the future alright, 'cause it sure as hell isn't the present.. not on my money! :blink: I'm too lazy to watch things that I've recorded. If I don't watch it as it's broadcast, I usually don't watch it at all.. As for the championship, I would prefer it if the endurance races didn't go on for more than an hour really, I think that's plenty long enough to not take your eyes off the screen.. anyone agree?

Wednesday is Heroes night for me. at 9pm.. so I doubt I'll be there. I'm sure a couple of other watch it too..?


Sky+

It's the future matey. I usually record em and watch them when there is c0ck all on the TV.


Heroes for me as well I'm afriad. I've got Sky+ but my girlfriend and I like to watch it together on a Weds eve when it's on.

As for the championship, I would prefer it if the endurance races didn't go on for more than an hour really, I think that's plenty long enough to not take your eyes off the screen.. anyone agree?

Just to confirm, is this still the plan?

The next races will be:

PI < 801

Tracks:
Maple Valley
Mazda Laguna Seca
Road Atlanta Short

Laps: 7


I like this PI, you can really push the car harder and harder without it biting back in a spectacular way thumbsup

Unless Crimson wants to change things.

I'm more interested in getting my paint scheme done correctly :lol:

As I'm unlikely to win, I might as well try and look my best :D

Tart :D Apart from some minor tweaks, mine's remained the same throughout - it's all about building the brand awareness. Just realised, will be on holiday for the next two Wednesdays after this evening - so my comment about wanting to watch Heroes and endurance races was a bit pointless. Sorry!

A good evening's racing again :) rallly

Got a few pics of the first crash of the evening. Three abreast is never gonna work!!
Posted Image

Not without this happening anyway:
Posted Image

Pure's dodgy eco-speedster:
Posted Image

and Tango's Gold Leaf, seeing as he spent so long on it:
Posted Image

My car seemed to be on form this evening, especially in the first two races. Must have got lucky with my setup.

Quality night again and some top pics there. Did anyone save the reply where Tango wrote my car off, and it wouldn't make it up the big hill and started to roll back down again? I got my revenge on Tango's last lap tho.... muhahhahahaha muuuuuuhahahahaa [evil laugh]. I didn't wave the reply of it unfortunately.

Just to set the record straight about Pure parking his VX on the start/finish line...

...I came round the final bend flat out and saw some smoke...
Posted Image

...a few yards later the smoke cleared revealing Pure...
Posted Image

...which left no time to avoid this...
Posted Image

...and just to rub it in he turns kamikaze...
Posted Image

and I nearly managed to avoid him...
Posted Image

Type 49 VX220 catching the Ribena bus.
Posted Image

BobsUncle, Crimson, me & Tifosi just before the first corner...
Posted Image

...where someone caused a bit of trouble :rolleyes:
Posted Image

After examining the replay for the Laguna Seca crash that took me out...

BobsUncle turned from a straight course and angled left into JaseMK clipping him and forcing him onto the grass. BobsUncle then span into me, putting me into the wall.

I don't have the Maple Valley replay but would like to know what happened when BobsUncle clipped me sending me into the wall. Anyone?

Great night again, i saved all the replays so can check for you Tango:

First race was really good, was having a great race with Tifosi for 2nd until i drove into a wall like a plank :(

2nd rave was great again was racing with Tifosi again for 1st till we had a comign together, nothign either of us could do - just one of those racing incidents, was a shame cos im pretty sure one off us would have won that race:

3rd race i was racing...hmm, now who was it again, ah yes it was TIFOSI AGAIN for 1st, good clean race for us anyway, but i did get a few snaps of Tango:

Spin at the first:

Was there a race last night? If so, was it endurance and was it any good? :unsure:

I haven't raced since before you went. I guess that doesn't help you much :lol:

I'm guessing we have an endurance race tonight. A PI of 800 would be good. Maybe 25-35 laps of Sebring?
