Be on in 15-20.

Make sure you're in by 5 past as that's when I'll be starting Qualifying. You can't join it late so you'd be sitting out Race 1.

 

[swiftsmith]

Sorry I didn't make it tonight. I had ACT testing.

 

[buck1]

I n race 2 lap 8 or 9 there was a moment of madness in front of me 3 or 4 drivers were running across the grass then one of them ploughed into me then i dc'd

 

[Gedi69]

Yeah it was a bit messy out there tonight, that pit bug is still about

 

[SkengD]

driving was a bit bumper car like some laps but overall id say it was fun , i dont know what track would of been better maybe fuji but it was nice

my net just tripped out , lucky me that didnt happen during a race tonight

 

[Roflwaffle]

Good racing tonight! I'm happy with 4th, 4th and 6th, but on the last lap of R3 things started to get messy And also to the person who sent the blocks flying on the penultimate lap of R3, I WILL FIND YOU, AND WILL KILL YOU...

 

[rolo912011]

Right, unfortunately jb has quit the series owing to connection troubles :/ He's of course welcome back at any time.

That means two things -

1. If anyone wants to team up with me at Midnight Purple Racing then feel free. If not, I'll be joining the Independents' Championship.
2. cam_from_nj has been promoted to a full-time drive thanks to his good performance tonight (and the space being free).

👍

7th, 7th & 5th tonight, poor qualifying left me in 13th on the grid, so need to improve that for next week.

Race 1 was fun when around 8 or 9 cars were in a pack battling for 4th, then stratergy gaining me 4 or 5 positions by pitting on lap 5. Race 2 was fine pitted on lap 6 and Race 3 I pitted on lap 7 and seemed to struggle with chronic understeer for the last lap on the 2nd set of tyres in all 3 races.

Race 3 I pitted on lap 7 and seemed to struggle with chronic understeer for the last lap on the 2nd set of tyres in all 3 races.

That's probably the game's fault where the second set of tyres always seems to be slower than the first.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Can't wait to find out the standings. I think I may be 4th and CAM Racing might even be top of the teams! 👍

 

[rolo912011]

Congratulations to @SkengD on his 150th BTCC race finish tonight. Clocked up his 90th podium finish on top. Experienced hand

 

[SpeedyMcQueen]

Can I sing up for second race now, or the places are taken from 1st race?

You're still a reserve because we have 16 full-time drivers signed up. There could be space for you to race next week, but wait and see.

[True-blue-8]

good racing tonight all
@buck1 yeah race 2 after the pits i was behind you and the corner before the chicane you seemed to slow down, as if you got caught in the gravel. i pulled to the side to overtake then you flew across the screen and dc. but i can't remember seeing people exactly in front of us. i know there were people behind me

 

[chrisjohnson93]

When are we likely to see the points standings?

 

[SkengD]

We are still reviewing the race , i think points should be up tomorrow

General Notes About Driving Standards:
​

Gotta admit to being a bit disappointed with the driving standards this week. I appreciate there's a lot of new drivers to the BTCC series here, so perhaps not everyone is up to speed with the done way of things here (although this note isn't restricted to them - it applies to old hands too). The level of bumping and rubbing was definitely too much like bumper cars for our liking however, and I want to see this stamped out from next week. Give room, don't use others as brakes, stop sticking your nose in where there isn't room for it. Similarly, too much use of the run-off areas to maintain position (or gain them in some cases); if we see enough of this during the season (not necessarily at the same circuit) then time penalties may be applied to you seemingly at random, but purely because it's a total of several observations.

In general though, great close racing. Hope for more of the same next week 👍​

Will update the tables next week.

 

[Toffe]

I had nothing to do yesterday and I haven't made a replay yet for a GT6 race so I made one of the first race.. Enjoy!

 

[rolo912011]

How's everyone doing with the Prius? It's pretty weird isn't it?

 

[FakeGangstaDIE]

It is weird not to change gears lol but it's weirder that it sounds better then most of the v8s in gt

 

[Gedi69]

Any times at hand?

 

[rolo912011]

Any times at hand?

Did a 1:33 a little while ago but that's all the info I can remember

 

[cunny17]

Did a few laps to get used to the car/track and every now and then the revs would suddenly jump and the car would seem to rev easier. I could not get it to do it every lap. Is this because its a hybrid, and if so why did it not do it every lap.

It's the RPM bug stu
