Great news gents, I've been talking with the editor of the hugely successful GT Life Magazine and he thinks it's a good idea for me to write an article for the next publication based on the GTP racing scene. I've decided to base it on our 'Daytona Speedweeks', it will mention the WSM, Trucks, Nationwide, Sprint Cup and IndyCar races from Daytona in this 2-3 week period; just a general overview hopefully covering a double page spread.

The first 3 issues of this online magazine have racked up an astonishing 50,000+ views, so hopefully this will spike interest in the racing series forum if all goes to plan! 👍

I'm going to be famous!:D
 
Psst .... Another Daytona win boys, in a great Indycar field as well, and not without controversy :sly:
 
Should have no problems with a 10:00 start tonight. As long as we get the little one to bed and get through the new Twilight film in time.

It's the compromise I have to face today to get with you guys.

Room open for Budweiser Shootout. Green flag in 55 minutes.

As soon as this bloomin film finishes. Looks like a big fight between vamps and wolves is about to start. Scary **** :scared:
 
Gotta run down to Subway right now. Shouldn't take me that long. I'll probably be back before quali starts.
 
:lol: there's already a handful of us in the room...just staring at the track waiting... :lol:
 
I can join, but will have to park at 10:30 GMT for FA cup highlights because I want to hear about Muamba's condition.

After the race today.

Or we can do it now if crazy will join the room. We can run dirty nascar after the race to vent frustrations.
 
Race Report @ DRIVE4COPD 300

MULE_9242 takes the win at Daytona Superspeedway with an 18 second lead over smuffyatfcp. The beginning of the Nationwide Season was marred by several incidents which definitely overruled proceedings tonight. Nonetheless, three teams, Red Bull Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing, Rick Ware Racing and Richard Childress Racing ran riot whilst unfortunate JR Motorsports suffered three disconnections. Joe took pole in an exciting and frantic pole shootout where he set the blistering lap of 50.435.

The race began awkwardly with fastfox seemingly suffering a penalty before crossing the start finish line. On the first lap, harrypayne spun out very freakily on the outside with no contact with other drivers, just the wall.

Unfortunately, jazza96uk also suffered a disconnection on lap 8 but for the remaing 112 laps, DaveMay96 appeared to cause every driver apart from those at Richard Childress Racing to wreck. With no evident lag, drivers became fearful of the looming 48 running more than one lap down and in the final laps caused the leading drivers from Joe Gibbs and Rick Ware, Tom and Cowboys to both crash.

Despite the twenty incidents recorded by Chqr whilst sitting on the sidelines, particular teammwork was seen in the remaining Ford drivers, Tom and Joe who were glued to each other for much of the race.

As a result of today's race, the following changes have been made:

1. Driver, DaveMay96 is parked for the rest of the Nationwide season.
2. Owner & Driver, Ken and Dave are under investigation for suspected deliberate dirty driving to all other teams in this series.
3. Driver, Harrypayne is parked for the next race.
4. The room will be moved back into a Private Lobby.
5. The room MAY BE MOVED to Tom_97_COD's Private Lobby but run in that lobby by Chqr. Future announcements will clarify this.
6. Mics are compulsory for future Daytona races.
7. Drivers are permitted to drop any race 1-10 from their final points standings
8. A discussion between stewards to going to be held on whether or not we should award points to Sprint Cup drivers, whether or not we should introduce lag cautions.
9. Drivers, if disconnected are advised to not reenter the lobby under race conditions to avoid lag and kicking out teammates and other drivers.
10. Mechanical Damage will be turned off for future races because of its effect in causing lag when an accident takes place.

*investigations and discussions will be discussed among the Series' stewards
