:: GT4 WRS Week 100 ::
A Drive For Your Life.A huge apology is in order before we continue onto week 100. Due to all the hassle we've had the past week I've lost a lot time that was going to be spent on this combo. Although the car and track is going to prove to be a lot of fun, I was hoping to work on adding a bit here and there just to make this centenary race just that little bit more special than it is already. One such idea was to replace the normal WRS weekly race image for a special video to celebrate 100 weeks of GT4 racing. Sadly this also had to be put on hold due to lack of time, but I have managed to knock something up that will give you an idea of what the original might've been like. Be sure to use headphones, and play it loud once it's finished uploading. 👍
Onto the race,
The special feature for this race is a handicap system. Sorry division one, but you guys will need to work hard this week. Thanks to Ron @ Kel the handicap has been tested to enable every division the chance to compete against the big boys of division one. It's not a perfect handicap, but a lot of time has been spent on the HP levels to try and make this a fun challenge for all. The quailty of ideas for this week were amazing, and although we haven't selected a combo that's exactly as suggested by any one member (I'm aware I'm failing at that part and will sort it), Ron and I decided to steal bits from a number of suggestions to make up this weeks race. I hope you enjoy it. 👍
Any division one driver who posts splits and then fails to submit a final lap time will be shot at dawn without trial.
No need for me to mention this week’s car and track because I'm sure you've already scanned down and looked. 👍

I'd love to see how close our finals were...
Also shows somewhere down the line I'm losing time.
