My times are finally in, I expected a second or two better on each track, but at least I am back in a FR again, no more fighting for traction with a FF. Trying to fight back in the series, although I am giving up 50-80 HP on the new field of cars.

EDIT:
Could everyone with new cars, post the color as listed on your car, so I can come up with a new banner with accurate colors.


Super Red II - TOYOTA MR-2 GT-S '97
Cayenne Red Metallic - Chevorlet Camero Z28 Coupe '97
Vivian Red - Subaru Impreza WRX STi (GC) '94
Dark Blue Pearl - Nissan Skyline GTS-t Type-M '89

Super Red II that is. I don't know if there's a Super Red I, but mine is Super Red II :D

Actually there is a Super Red, but it is not available on that model, only Super Red II (also Super White is a II too, that's two II's, not to be confused with tutu. :) )
 
Mega Yellow and Uber Super Blue III together with Extreme Tornado Silver and Lethal Mighty Mouse Black MMVI are my favorite Toyota colors, but MR-2 didn't came in neither of those aswell :D
 
Now I think I see why the Subie is cheap, it's a 🤬 to drive, because it just wants to go rallying and doesn't even do any better than the Civic :ouch: Now I think I should show you guys my practice at Deep Forest, I'll get some pics a photographer caught and put them up later

Should have waited another week to get a new car, then I'd have a sane car :grumpy:

Having had a very successful week, I'd like to donate some credits to the driver at the bottom of the points table. Could you transfer 1,699cr from my funds to GrumpEone?
 
Sure, I will put it on Week 8's finacial report. Something like this though should get a story in the magazine, as a loan, gift, services rendered for painting or something. Hopefully one of you can write a nice paragraph about it.
 
If anyone wants it, I could possibly edit your picture if you want, I could give liveries a try, but I mostly do photo editing, not chopping.
 
I would be up for some tasteful sponsors and a good numbering of my car. I already tried racing stripes and putting Z28 on the door.

3rd Circuit​

The 3rd Circuit continues with a rather odd week. We will be spending most of the week at one raceway. We will race four versions of the Fuji Speedway. Then its off to a nice quiet track at El Capitan for the most scenic race all season. The tracks should test every car and driver to the utmost as they hurtle towards the finish line.

So gentlemen to your cars. Start your engines! Let us begin!

Looks like I hung on to the Mx-5 for one week to long because I felt I drove pretty well and still got smashed, I'll post my new car purchase within the next few days.
 
I might have to repurchase at some point because my Subie is near impossible to drive... Don't forget broken too :P
 
Trial Mountain was the only track that I felt comfortable in, all others were like a dark maze for me :boggled: Though I thought I did better in Infineon.

What I know about my mr-2 is that it likes to go sideways more than it likes going straight. A wing will be in my shopping list this week. :)

Its sort of similar to the MX-5, but only in regards to them both being Mazda's and they both have pop up Headlights.

PS sorry about crappy pics I think its prob my phone its only 2.0 mp

EDIT PPS the new banner looks good, are rims the same colour as the car mandatory? Ironically enough mines the same but it was like that out of the showroom.

Does this take too long to render on 56k?
Animation too fast or slow?

EDIT:
Slowed it down a bit, how is it now?

The week 7 Points need adjusting, you've got the total from week 6 & week 7 combined showing, and its carried across to the start of this week.
Week 7 should read:
Carless _____28
BH-21 ______24
Jetbadger ___21
Skyathon ___17
Dogbreath ___9
Grumpeone __4
Shotamagee _2

That, the totals in post 1, or 0's because we haven't done this round are what should be in post 285 right?
 
Maybe a bit slower would do it some good.

PS: The new banner very well represents my Boxer Subie, the drifter 👍

Thanks for the input, that's what I thought too.

BTW- That's what the Subie does, Drift!! And well, too, I had fun taking it for a spin on Fuji '05...
-to everything,
Drift, drift, drift,
there is a season,
drift, drift, drift....
:)
 
sometimes it stops drifting. On those things... Straights, but even then it hardly stops sliding on those :P
 
The animation is fine. It takes over a minute to load on 56K, but if I know its coming I can stop it.

Shotamagee this is the first circuit were the points will pile up from week to week. The other two were a single week then a championship. Just think of the 3rd Circuit as a mini season inside the full season, then the points make sense.
