Are you back racing with us this week Stig?

BTCC-9 ...did mull over it for a while but I've decided to go again with another season of this. Details to follow in due course.

sure, I'll make a early return if there is room, would help me prepare for the next season, I'll stick to my jag

 

[SkengD]

Btcc 9 - can Ian make it 3 in a row

 

[iFuriousRacer]

First practice session with Stiggy and got a 1:43,992.
If I would have a setup for this track I could maybe do even better..

I managed a 1:43.3 but I'm not sure if that was with a bit of draft... The ole jag isn't too bad but I fear it's too heavy for this track

I wish. I'll be more than happy with 2. 👍

Looking forward to seeing the all time statistics , you should be pretty high up on the lists now mate

There are only 2 parts where it can make up on the lack of straight line speed, turn 2 and 5&6, it will struggle to keep up elsewhere and during the race where slipstream plays a big part, corner 5&6 won't be in it's favor either

I suggest & request weight reduction for the jag, but if the people/rolo who have tested the car on red bull ring and approve that its fine how it is atm, then 1,500kg alright with me 👍

But not as high as you. You're still number 1.

I've just realised something; Rolo hasn't done the mid-season drop score this time.

You know what? I tested it and went fast at current spec, but I'm still convinced it needs some help. Executive, non-championship-affecting decision - Jaguar down to 1480kg. It's late enough in the season to experiment sensibly.

I do the first drop score after the penultimate round 👍

8. Silverstone International - 21/08/14 (possibly 28/08)

I know I can't race the 21st on a late shift, 28th is a maybe.
Just me and the wife off work, so she may want to go see some family.

I think packing the wheel and ps3 in the car, could lead to me getting a slap round the head.

That's a small price to pay, I'd take the risk. 👍

Then there a mod swings for the rest of the week to.
There again that happens even when I'm good

Women.

I'm lucky, my girlfriend is a pain too, but she does let me do my racing each week. Although I have noticed that she's cheering on everyone except me.

Luckily, my wife isn't allowed in the room when I'm racing - and maybe if your girlfriend is supporting everyone but you - I might make a return. I need a little bit of... Support from the crowd

 

[Ian_83]

He is indeed

Now you've got me all excited. I'm guessing that you update the all-time stats each week then? Can't wait until the season ends now.

Agree with this oe Rolo. I tried the Jag and I can't get on with it. Although RBR isn't a Jag track at all, it does seem slow.

I do the first drop score after the penultimate round 👍

Doh! I really should know these things by now.

@rolo912011 - The Pug is capable of a low 1:42 around RBR.

She's all yours, I'll drop her off later tonight. 👍

It's good to have you back Stig. 👍

Great! that should help the Jag a little bit because it really does lose out massively at RBR, possibly slowest car on the grid there, so i think a 20kg drop could really help for those corners that Jag lacks on

Thank her for the support!

I do, except for the points which would just get messy.

Oh really? I need to put in more laps then... or bother to do a setup..

 

[Ian_83]

Thank her for the support!

Apparently she doesn't support you either.

 

[rolo912011]

I'm not surprised, continual 4th places aren't really that exciting anyway

Are you scared of heights?

Ask her if it's anything with you playing in your socks, it maybe the smell of cheesy feet

 

[rolo912011]

I'm allergic to champagne.

I'm allergic to champagne.

Or is it down to the fact your clingfilm Peugeot falls apart at the sight of my pig-iron Merc?

The series organiser only buys the cheap stuff anyway.

You see, the two are related... so much money on trim that I can't afford proper bubbly...

I bet that you buy the proper bubbly to attract the trim though. Go ugly early, it's cheaper and guaranteed. 👍

 

[CptMadBean]

Really cheesed off been on a BT war today

 

[Ian_83]

A BT war?
