Into the 30's for me to now. 30.3xx being my best. Should be good fun, the car feels good at Cheviot GTX,đź‘Ť

I like the poll. I voted YES because I'm useless at tuning my car... :D

Same here,I rarely get the time to spend testing and tuning. Find it easier to just drive faster :)
 
Looks like I'm going to miss todays race. I totally forgot about it and ended up with errands I have to run this afternoon. Hope to be able to make the rest of them. Have fun.
 
I think it would be worth a try to have restricted tuning for a change. Not to easily regulate cheating or anything like that. I just really like the idea of everyone having the exact same car and set-up. So that people who struggle with tunes can show what they can really do when that factor is gone. Basically I would love to have a series where the races are decided solely by driver skill rather than perhaps a set-up being the advantage on the day.

I know setting up your car is always a part of racing but still I think it would be interesting, especially in a series divided into two types of cars for their seperate divisions.
 
On tonight. Crackin' race again lads! Really frustrated I threw away my lead. I reckon Cobrius and I would have had a nice battle in the latter part. But fair does to him, great racing by him and by everyone. From what I heard there were battles eveywhere. Can't wait for the roundup.
 
I'm with Fuel on this, can't wait for the highlights, whenever I get my act together with my videos I'll also have my work cut out for me getting all that in. I had many close battles with drivers throughout the field which unfortunately caused one or two incidents along the way so I apologize. Like Third said, it's a pity mine and his connection failed to co-operate at times too because we had some great battles.

Great stuff on a Friday evening as always guys. Can't wait for Round 4! đź‘Ť
 
The poll is multiple choice too guy's, you can choose from one of the other options as well - I'd also like to see what people think which ever tuning option is popular, what will be popular within that regulation, single models or mixed by using PP.

Anyone who's already voted should still be able to vote???
 
I had quite a pleasent race after the first aggressive lap. After avoiding some cars I was about 8 seconds behind Fuel but he went off after a few laps and lost those seconds. I found a nice rythm and was in no hurry to overtake.

A few more laps and Fuel got in trouble in the grass again, I got past and managed to extend the lead very slowly. After the pitstops I came out with 4 or 5 seconds ahead and managed to stay on track to take the flag.

There are so many good custommade tracks and this one is up there among the best. đź‘Ť

Edit: No You can't vote again, if you could I vote for fixed.

Nah mate,won't let me vote again.
 
I had a cracking race. Got a bit caught up in the lap1 incident on the first bit of the new part of the track, but came out relativly unscathed. My lap times were consistent low 32's until the tyres went off. Last 10 laps or so chasing Jammy and Geordie were awesome, and I eventually got past Jammy at the mini inverted carousel type turn at the end of the straight, and was gifted 5th place when Geordie went on the grass on the last lap. Fastest lap was a 31.6.
 
Just gave my vote. I'm all for stock one-makes. Its some really fun racing. With the current PP changes, unbalances swung from one end to the other, I try to avoid anything that is only PP limited.

Limited tuning is hard to enforce (and always seems to exclude LSD adjustments with you guys -.-). Mixed series are fun as well, but the balance is a major challenge to create and maintain. I hate seeing a fun car not being competitive because some choose the fastest in the specs. Premium car stock one makes are easy to enforce and open a lot of possibilities to explore underused cars
 
I think it's decided then :sly:

For Season 8 Club that is....S7 is already sorted so we'll try the new layout come S8 to see how it works out for everyone đź‘Ť

Fixed car with prohibited tuning, so stock this time will mean stock :D I know what Third means with having a mixed series, looks and sounds good, but he's right with all these PP changes, we could end up with a 'boring' Club season if the 'halo' car is found and chosen by too many...

At least this will definately have a clear line between Championship and Club! Fully tuned cars vs showroom spec....From the ultimate racing master to the ultimate racing driver, who's the better driver with the mechanical know-how in the Championship to the racer who can take a stock car to the top with the spec the manufacturer intended in the Club đź‘Ť

Oh and incase you were all wondering where the poll has gone....I didn't realise that they are permanent! :eek: so I've had to nicely ask Jordan to remove it as once we'd get past the point of the poll in the first place, it would still be there at the top :indiff:
 
That's it (you can still paint and change wheels), so all your 'tuning' time will only be needed on the Championship Car...only track time will be needed for the Club Car come Season 8 :)

It may attract new racers? You never know, I'll run it for S7 only and decide after that how it goes as to what will happen for S8 đź’ˇ

You got any Bovril?
 
Too early to say, other than it will be from the premiums - as you know I'd like to use standards (lots of under used motors), but finding a one that everyone has got that they haven't upgraded in nigh on impossible at times :crazy:
 
Btw Oil also gets through prohibited tuning. Quite happy with the result. I dislike standard cars because of the lacking interior. I'm a driver's view racer (even if it is a huge disadvantage in rain {you cheaters!}).
 
Yeah I'm sure we all change the oil when buying a new car, and to be fair, as the oil 'goes off' as you race, it would have been an oversight on PD's part if we couldn't change the oil over time in a prohibited tuning series :)

R3-1.png


No Hillracing this week, this potentially could shake things up in the table! Dowlin39 on Pole đź‘Ť


R3-2.png


Oops! Ade3210 false starts! :crazy:


R3-3.png


Dowlin39 & Fuelmyfire share the lead at turn 1


R3-4.png


The 'Reiver Ring' a famous sight here at the Northumberland Park custom track đź‘Ť

Will the Reiver claim it's lap 1 victim??? :sly:


R3-6.png


WOAH! Third_Reign puts his name on the list :lol:


R3-7.png


Dowlin39 into the lead at the top of the hill :)


R3-8.png


Third_Reign holding his MX-5 in a straight line - "get back onto the track!" as OmniusALX makes up another place


R3-9.png


Dowlin39 with a clear Cheviot track in front of him, it's good to be back...but what awaits on the new section 3?


R3-10.png


R3-11.png


Fuelmyfire & Geordie139 not to be out done get a good draft down the hill from Dowlin39 to take 1st & 2nd :D


R3-12.png


STEADY! Geordie139 steps the rear out a bit too much as Cobrius looks on :scared:


R3-13.png


CONTACT! Geordie139 in trying to control his MX-5, sideswipes Dowlin39 :ouch: Cobrius throws on the anchors!


R3-14.png


Everyone is through! As Geordie & Dowlin end up on the outside of the track in a cloud of tyre smoke :ouch:


R3-15.png


R3-16.png


Scanny_Flick can only hope for the best :scared:


R3-17.png


WarriusZero darts to his left avoiding Geordie139....but where is Scanny_Flick??? :eek:


R3-18.png


OmniusALX only has moments to avoid Geordie139 & Scanny_Flick who both end up in a pile in the middle of the track :nervous:


R3-19.png


Scanny_Flick gets away with minimal damage as WarriusZero runs wide followed by OmniusALX & Ade3210, with Third_Reign making up time from his 'off' :) That much can't be said about Dowlin39 & Geordie139 :ouch:


R3-20.png


OmniusALX pushing to make up from the earlier accident...


R3-21.png


...closely followed by Ade3210 & Third_Reign!

R3-22.png


Let battle commence! OmniusALX has Scanny_Flick in his sights! :sly:

Ade3210 pulling away from Dowlin39 as he get involved with a close battle with WarriusZero


R3-28.png


...a lead short lived as Dowlin means business!


R3-29.png


Fuelmyfire can take it easy around the Reiver with no one insight :)


R3-30.png


Surely this must be Fuel's night? What a massive lead on P2! :D đź‘Ť


R3-31.png


All to race for! Cobrius & Jammy_Rex battle for second!


R3-32.png


Geordie139 gets caught out again at the checkpoint onto the new section :dunce:


R3-33.png


R3-34.png


Battle-stations! WarriusZero isn't going to make it easy for Dowlin39 :D


R3-35.png


...Neither is Third_Reign who is storming up the field, knocking Jammy_Rex back into 4th! :crazy:


R3-36.png


Dowlin & Warrius' battle has allowed the number 71 of Ade3210 to close right up :D đź‘Ť


R3-37.png


R3-39.png


It had to end! The epic battle between WarriusZero & Dowlin39 comes to an end as Ade3210 follows Warrius' line :crazy::scared:


R3-40.png


Fortunately for Ade3210, he keeps his cool and keeps his MX-5 pointing in the correct direction :D


R3-41.png


Jammy_Rex signals to all "I'm in 3rd place!" :) :) :)


R3-42.png


As the race enters the last third, Dowlin39 is poised for a podium finish...but will Jammy_Rex have something to say about that as Cobrius sits in a comfortable 2nd place đź‘Ť


R3-43.png


Tiredness is getting the best of OmniusALX! :ouch: Need to keep focused! ...time to play a game of 'Spot the Ade' :lol:


R3-44.png


Cobrius can't quite believe his luck! Fuelmyfire runs wide!!! :scared:


R3-45.png


Surely this means Cobrius has the lead???


R3-46.png


Dowlin's battle with Jammy has cost them both too much time as Third_Reign joins the party!


R3-47.png


It's Ade3210's turn to reel Jammy_Rex in :crazy: From 3rd to 6th???


R3-48.png


R3-49.png


...Ade's done it! ...keep focused Jammy! :)


R3-50.png


Tactical Pit-Stops from Fuelmyfire & Dowlin??? Hmmm....


R3-51.png


This gives Third_Reign a clear track, but how are his tyres???


R3-52.png


The battle between Ade3210 & Jammy_Rex has continued into the pitlane as WarriusZero arrives for new rubber too :D


R3-53.png


:ouch: Cold rubber see's Fuelmyfire having to make an emergency stop at the final chicane or risk going off! That was a close one...


R3-54.png


Dowlin's earlier pitstop has paid off as he gets the overlap on Third_Reign! :D đź‘Ť


R3-55.png


Its shaping up to be an epic close to the race for the battle of 2nd!!! Fuel's earlier braking incident has cost him time :crazy:


R3-56.png


Third_Reign vs Dowlin39 with lights ablaze :)


R3-57.png


Too much at stake, the adrenaline gets the best of them and off they both go :ouch:


R3-58.png


A quiet race for Geordie139 (but no less uneventful!) It's Jammy_Rex's turn to contend with the current CGT Champion!


R3-59.png


...and away he goes! :D


R3-60.png


Only one lap to go! Can Jammy take Warrius and grab some extra points to make up for that 3rd place he was in earlier in the race???


R3-61.png


R3-62.png


...NO!!! All is lost! Jammy_Rex goes wide and touches the grass, sometimes in racing you just run out of luck :(


R3-63.png


A brilliant race by Cobrius, cool and collected brings the kudos of his first win in the CGT! :D đź‘Ť :D đź‘Ť


R3-64.png


A worthy 2nd for Fuelmyfire...you were *almost* there! Next time I'm sure :) đź‘Ť


R3-65.png


After an early mistake, Third_Reign brings it home in '3rd' :lol: Making it another close finish with Dowlin39 in 4th đź‘Ť


R3-66.png


Another close finish, but not one Geordie139 would have wanted! This will totally shake the tables up :sly:
