[IfAndOr]

Thanks to Famine for sending us all the tracks selections early this week, except to Drex. 👍

Isn't it 72 laps of Tsukuba?

Been feeling rougher than a badger's arse for the last couple of days. Waiting for results on a COVID test too.

I don't normally wish an illness on anyone but let's hope you've just got a bad cold. A speedy recovery to you. 👍

 

[daan]

Cavalier.

I'm also going to have to bow out tonight chaps. Been feeling rougher than a badger's arse for the last couple of days. Waiting for results on a COVID test too.

Oh cock. Can someone else use this then?

You've mis-spelled "Tom". [/my wife]

I'll put the handicaps here again. I've switched the first sheet around so you can just look here and see it:

 

[RACECAR]

Will be there in abit, just got back in.

 

[O604]

Thanks everyone.

If anyone saved the DT Gardens race, could you share it?

+ Highlights from Race 2.

 

[Famine]

As people were asking, the results of the Clio V6 Clubman Cup were:

1 - AndreasR - 77pt
2 - Drex124 - 68pt
3 - HFS - 65pt
4 - Famine - 64pt
5 - jammy21 - 59pt
6 - Lazybike - 58pt*
7 - buybon355 - 58pt
8 - RACECAR - 52pt
9 - JockeP22 - 43pt
10 - richroo - 40pt
11 - Jordan - 33pt
12 - O604 - 28pt
13 - Sutsagrd - 27pt
14 - IfAndOr - 18pt

We also had four different race winners in tonight's four races... and four different lasts In the Catalunya race, the entire field was covered by just 2.6% (1.6% if we ignore the car that won )

 

[richroo]

Great Racing and lots of fun had cheers all ...

The race from my point of view : Warning you can hear yourselves last race ....

 

[homeforsummer]

Great racing last night folks, thanks for that. Even though I absolutely sucked at Barcelona.

Uploaded the video of the race at Alsace as I enjoyed that one. Last lap was squeaky bum time with Simba behind me Just managed to hold them off with some creative lines but hopefully everything is considered fair and above-board!

​

Didn't capture other replays from my POV but did the replay files so may post a few more screenshots later, but a small selection also from that Alsace race below.

 

[Famine]

In the Catalunya race, the entire field was covered by just 2.6% (1.6% if we ignore the car that won )

There's almost six full laps of racing between these two images!

And I can conclusively state that, from my replay at least, I definitely didn't kill @Jordan this time at Dragon Trail Gardens.

 

[richroo]

@Famine do we have overall results table ? 🤬🤬

Jocke so sorry for the bump ( wasn't me ! lol ) i didn't see feel anything till to late still was my fault..
Jammy i got some of your paint if you want it back ! oh and could you buffer me for the next one

 

[Famine]

@Famine do we have overall results table ? 🤬🤬

Yes, but at present it's not entirely meaningful because of the range of participation. Some folk have one race under their belt, some have 17. I guess I could PDise it, and have only the best N races count so far.

Anyway, the raw table says:
1 - Drex124 - 323pt
2 - Lazybike - 290pt
3 - jammy21 - 281pt
4 - Famine - 244pt
5 - buybon355 - 220pt
6 - AndreasR - 176pt
7 - RACECAR - 168pt
8 - homeforsummer - 165pt
9 - Jordan - 161pt
10 - IfAndOr - 159pt
11 - Sutsagrd - 151pt
12 - richroo - 125pt
13 - JockeP22 - 117pt
14 - Zolon32 - 100pt
15 - Pigems - 91pt
16 - O604 - 81pt
17 - silverman_GT - 56pt
18 - daan - 8pt
19 - Tom - 4pt

 

[IfAndOr]

That looks better, can we stick with that table? And can we run the kart event another couple of times?

Catalunya - Last chicane lap 1

 

[silverman_GT]

I've stayed up all night at my living room only to fall asleep at the couch 15 minutes before the race. Sometimes I hate time zones.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun in the Clio V6! I'll try my best to stay awake next week.

 

[Famine]

Given that there's 42 races planned, and the best 32 can be used, and we've done 17 races so far, that means proportionally we'd be keeping the best 13 results so far... if we were PD. I think that leaderboard looks like this:

1 - Drex - 297pt
2 - Lazybike - 271pt
3 - jammy - 254pt
4 - Famine - 216pt
5 - buybon - 200pt
6 - Andreas - 176pt*
7 - RACECAR - 168pt*
8 - Homeforsummer - 165pt*
9 - Jordan - 160pt
10 - IfAndOr - 146pt
11 - Sutsagrd - 136pt
12 - richroo - 124pt
13 - Jocke - 105pt
14 - Zolon - 100pt*
15 - Pigems - 91pt*
16 - O604 - 91pt*
17 - Silverman - 56pt*

And Tom and daan only have three races between them.

 

[homeforsummer]

I'm gonna do my best to turn up for every remaining round given I've now missed two. I don't think I've got any more evenings getting in the way but might come to regret saying that at some point...

 

[JockeP22]

I found some tape and a scissor... so I made a Kerfuffle scrapbook
@Tom I couldn't find your profile/avatar so I had to make yours just a plain white helmet/suit.

 

[Jordan]

Ha, that's awesome, @JockeP22!

 

[buybon355]

Very cool jocke

 

[IfAndOr]

Well aren't we the suave and sophisticated well dressed bunch. Excellent stuff @JockeP22, as creative as ever.

If I'd have know I was having my picture taken I'd have worn a tie. And a smile.

And like clockwork, I've got a flight early on Wednesday so I unfortunately won't be around this week again

 

[RACECAR]

Neat job @JockeP22 , wasn't expecting that 👍

 

[silverman_GT]

This is just adorable. Thank you for your great work @JockeP22!

Also a heads up; I might only be able to attend half the races in this round due to an urgent appointment tomorrow morning unfortunately.

 

[IfAndOr]

So where are we going around in circles at today @Famine? I've got to make up at least 151 points to get to the top of the championship so I might need to practice. I might need everyone else not to race as well.

Oh dear Jeff, is it already Tuesday? I'd forgotten.

I've got Sardegna Road Track B, Tokyo Expressway East Outer Loop, Fuji International Speedway "Short", and Lago Maggiore East II.

 

[Zolon32]

Hi chaps, sorry about the no-show last week, chaotic life at the moment I'm afraid. Anyway, should be good for tonight if there's room

Cheers, Zo.

Thanks for the nice comments about the scrapbook. Just a fun thing to do while I had free time.


To quote Drex, my weapon for today:

My helmet was made by "Eleanor70" and it's one of the most detailed I've seen in GT Sport to date.
