Wow got on for practice and on my fourth lap hit a 1.34.006...I'm going to see about some high 33s though.
 
Good races tonight wish I wasn't laggy first race but either way congrats to welsh on his win and my teammate dragon on 2 second place finishes
 
Hope you guys had fun tonight. The results in standings will be delayed a bit as Ron is the one with the results from the races and once he does the RPM, ill capture it onto here 👍

Congrats on the wins Nigel and Mike
 
Thanks guys. Some good racing tonight for sure :)

Still not a fan of the reverse grid format, but maybe I'll warm to it in time, lol. 2nd race could have been a 4 or 5 car battle for the win I think, but sadly after Bronco made a small mistake, (catching the tyre wall at turn 1) I thought I'd take the chance to get by, however I got a bit loose through the next section and I believe the rear of my car caught Bronco as I fought to regain control. In my mirror I saw him stuck in the gravel, so eased off and waited to give him his position back. This put us both way off the back of the lead pack with a lot of ground to make up. Tried working together, but we seemed to doing more harm than good, so I pitted at the end of 6 to get some clear track.

Fought back through to 4th, then 3rd, as unfortunately my Team-mate (MrJones) made a big mistake gifting me the position. By this time, Mike and Ron were a long way up the road and once I broke clear in 3rd, I just had to settle for that. I was glad to see Bronco fight his way back up to 4th after our earlier mis-fortune, but I would have liked my team-mate to hold on to 4th also. Good points for our team today though and I'm looking forward to the next round :)
 
Had a blast last night, think the car being so intense to drive just topped it all off. The first heat went pretty well, had fun battling with Nigel in the first few laps, then I made a costly mistake coming on to the oval on the last straight. Think after our pit stops Nigel had a 5-6 second lead on me and we basically maintained position till the end of the race. Overdriving one turn was very costly, easily was able to lose half a second because of this, but also very hard not to do pushing an insanely drivable car to its limits the whole race.

The 2nd heat was crazy, was just trying to keep it clean and not ruin others by my fault. After what looked to be a crazy mix up in the front I found myself 5th with 3 more guys right in front of me within reach. Took the next few laps to overtake and set sail for king who had a very nice gap on everybody by then. Had the gap down to just over 2 seconds with just a couple laps to go and did the same mistake I did in the 1st heat and lost a good half second. Think if I didn't mess up there I might of been able to sniff Mike's draft on the last lap.

Congrats mike on the Heat 2 win and congrats to Nigel on his Heat 1 win and managing a podium finish in Heat 2 with all the chaos that was going on.

Next week should be interesting, I believe that the bmw is a lil tail happy but not as much as the RX7 was.
 
Last night's racing was GRRRRRRRREEAAAAATTTT!! It was abit laggy for me, but no worse than last week. Congrats to Dragon for R1 Pole & consecutive 2nd place finishes, my teammate Welsh Don for his R1 Win & R2 Podium & KingBest for his R2 win. Every1 i was around last night was clean & not toooo aggressive. There was one thing i wanted to mention tho, When waiting for a fellow racer you made contact with plz plz take extreme caution & be predictable as other racers not involved should not be affected.

I will have to figure out a way for it not be as laggy as it was for me the first race and im sure it was the second race too just didnt see anyone. Afterwards i realized my sons ipad was connected to my internet along with my phone and someone was on a laptop so pretty sure i know why now, just unfornuate.
 
Qualifying is open for the Friday race at Nurburgring GP/D with the BMW 07'. Think this will be a fun car track combo even though i hate this track haha.
 
I ran some laps the other night and it's good fun. I think I managed a 1'41.8xx, but if that sounds completely off, maybe I'm confusing it with another car/track combo :D Hoping to qualify sooner this week rather than leaving it to the last minute ;)
 
Im in the process right now of letting bob brake in my M3. Boy is she a beauty, sublime paint and sublime rims Best looking M3 in the field for sure haha.
 
Going in Hot
Anybody know what a good time around this joint is? I was off the back at Indy but I think the M3 agrees more with me, we'll see.

Had a few more laps in the M3 in my lounge tonight and improved to a 1'41.2xx for a PB, but was able to run fairly consistently around the 1'41.5-7 range. I like the combo, but I'm never sure whether I like Nurb GP/D or not :D
 
Qualifying is now open for this week's race. This will be the post that will be used for the qualifying results. It is going to be this Friday at 9:30pm ET. It will be at Nurburgring GP/D and will consist of two heat races where this qualifying session will determine the starting order of the first heat, while the second heat will be determined via reverse order of the results from the first. Each heat will be (TBD Laps) and each race will require a mandatory pit stop in which must be done between lap TBD and lap TBD

This post here will detail the results, procedures and etc on how we do qualifying (See OP for more details). Qualifying is over and final 12 hours before the scheduled start of the race.

The chart below details the current qualifying standings. This will be updated as the week goes forth and when a new page is made I will quote this post

Current Qualifying Results:

Today is the last day to qualify. Hopefully King and/or Dragon is around today. I may have to find some more stewards as we have had people waiting to qualify and no stewards have been on. Sorry about this guys
