BTCC Online Championship Season 2. Complete

[Gedi69]

If you made sense out of what I said, I fully respect you. I'm just teasing rally.

Nope not 1 bit lol. What you been smoking?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

It's 4:48 A.M. here, & it's a joke from a different series. I might be the first person to be penalised in preseason. I acknowledged that I jumped the start, clarified the reason, and agree to start as normal from now on. I'm a rubbish drag racer.

 

[rallymorten]

Because Denmark, that's why... I won't continue to complain about being the fifth fastest car, despite finishing as the fastest... Canada and Finland definitely produce the best rally drivers. Denmark... Kobnhavn...

I have to admit, the only canadian race driver I'm 100% sure I know is Ron Fellows.. And I only know him because he drove with Jan Magnussen But I know many finnish rally drivers; Mäkinen, Grönholm, Toivonen to name just a few

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Ummm, Andrew Picard (Yes Canadian guys named Andrew!!) Bruno Spengler, Ron Fellows, Alex Tagliani, Paul Tracy, Jacques & Gilles Villeneuve & I are all famous Canadian racing drivers. (Hey, I've been on TV once, in my karting career... That counts, right?) There're like 60 of us.

 

[rallymorten]

Oh, yeah, forgot Spengler and the Villeneuves OK then, you name me 5 danish drivers and we're equal. And Magnussen doesn't count

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Ummmmm, rallymorten &... Ummmmmmmmm.... Alas, poor yorick, Denmark's not doing well. Sorry, I can't think of one. I'm sorry. I'll even give you a patriotic picture to look at instead... On your screen, find the word "Nordborg" and then look to the left. Yes, there's your patriotic picture. Yeah, I definitely put that there.

 

[rolo912011]

Tom Kristensen... retired I know, but....

Nicolas Kiesa

Kristian Kolby

Kevin Magnussen

Marco Sorensen

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Wait, a last name like Sorensen & he's not Swedish???

 

[rallymorten]

I'll help you out there:
Tom Kristensen (Le Mans king)
John Nielsen (first dane to win Le Mans)
ehh..
Henrik Lundgaard (first dane to score points in WRC)
I agree that's the most famous probably but if I have to, I'd mention Casper Elgaard and Jason Watt (yes, he IS danish) I'd say equal

Edit: Sorensen is actually Sørensen but you don't have that Uber-cool "ø" button

Edit 2: Michel Nykjær! (another cool button you don't have) The dane who almost won a WTCC race at Monza when his tires quit

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

then there's Mark Wilkins, Sylvain Tremblay, and that other Canadian guy; he raced in CHAMP cars, but, I can't remember his name.

Then there's a few other Canadians... Got more, rally??


Also, yeah ø is ö in German, sort of. But, sorry, ø isn't over anything. Über means over, silly Dane.

Nykjær? Yup. But not Jens Edmans?

 

[rolo912011]

There's definitely only three drivers left in contention for the title - killa, cunny and myself, actually (although I'm 38 points behind so only a miracle would win me the crown).

cunny has to outscore killa by 6 points in Race 1 otherwise killa will wrap up the title. 👍

Lol I think we should move this to another place Mel but yeah, there's Karl-Åge Jensen (known for literaly putting a Subaru Impreza to bed ), Morten Karl (Rally driver), Jørgen Pilgaard (ex-rally driver) and many more

Edman is swedish

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Fine, rally, but, it seems like a trivial use of PMs, compared to the discussion of red vs. yellow, etc.


Anyways, darn, killa, good job leading the championship into the final round. I can't wait to finally close that 1 second gap from Autumn Ring @ Bankfin... I mean, 1 second after a 30 lap race...

 

[Gedi69]

You good for tables today rolo?

 

[rolo912011]

I'll just put them up now. FL and any warnings for jb/skeng will have to be updated next week.

Driver's Standings:

cunny has to outscore killa by 6 points in Race 1 otherwise killa will wrap up the title. 👍 I'm the only other driver who mathematically can win the title, but I'm 38 points behind so it looks seriously unlikely.

johnboy up to 9th despite only contesting 7 races.

Team's Standings:

It's going to the wire! eBay Motors now lead by only 19 points, while Purtek Racing and ICS plc are currently tied for 3rd place.

-------

I've also done a couple of other things to put some added spice into Friday's finale - Manufacturer's points and Independent's points (although this was almost pointless since Joe has wiped the field here, by generally being the only independent for most meetings )

Manufacturer's Points:

Audi well out in front here thanks to JoeTruckV8's scores helping.

Independent's Points:

Joe wrapped this up long ago, but interesting little battle for 2nd between rallymorten and weezy_7 possibly this weekend.

 

[Gedi69]

Woah so I lost 2 places in R1 coz of my 10sec pen? Ouch

 

[rallymorten]

I think Ishould have 20 championship points Rolo other than that great job as usual yeah it's gonna be interesting to see who'll be second in independents, it's a fight I want to fight

 

[rolo912011]

You were 12th = 4 points, 8th = 8 points.

12 total.

 

[rallymorten]

You were 12th = 4 points, 8th = 8 points.

12 total.

Ah, so THAT's the way it works. I thought it showed points (more logical to me )

 

[V8-Johnboy]

How many races has the Focus won this season?? Im suprised it isnt dominating things tbh.

 

[kk20]

Its won HSR and almost won SSR5. Oh and monza I think.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Ah i see:tup: KK how many team members can race on any given night? Is it just the number 1 and 2 or can the #3 compete aswell?

 

[Gedi69]

When S2 finishes how long will S3's first race be?

 

[RobFocus]

Gotta love JB's complete ownage

Its won HSR and almost won SSR5. Oh and monza I think.

By 10 seconds with a fastest lap, may I add!

 

[rolo912011]

Ah i see:tup: KK how many team members can race on any given night? Is it just the number 1 and 2 or can the #3 compete aswell?

Only two. Unless a team can't find a third driver for the race in which case the free spot can be opened up to all teams' 3rd drivers, I suppose. Maybe a qualifying race if absolutely necessary.

 

[rolo912011]

By 10 seconds with a fastest lap, may I add!

Add that I've finished 2nd four times this season as well. 👍

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Gotta love JB's complete ownage

By 10 seconds with a fastest lap, may I add!

Yeah that figures.

 

[RobFocus]

Add that I've finished 2nd four times this season as well. 👍

You're quicker than me

 

[rallymorten]

As far as I believe it'll be 2 and only 2 drivers per team racing with third being Reserve with big R

I've sent the FR to you gedi, now I just need you to accept it so you can get the car

 

[Gedi69]

When S2 finishes how long will S3's first race be?

Quote myself lol
