Okay, so the prize car is a Vivanitgrün-colored MB SLK 230 Kompressor '98 straight out of the UCD. Only changed the oil and gave it a spin on the Madrid Mini to get some pictures to post here.
Specs:
2295 CC
201 BHP/5500 RPM
29 KGFM/2500 RPM
FR
1325 KG
406 PP
And madwi, thanks for offering a prize car, but I'll let you keep it until it's your turn to host, all right? ;-)

Probably not gonna be able to make it tonightdue to a mountain of homework.... I hate school
Sorry, Schousbølle, I tried to remove you from the list, but I wasn't able to. That means you will have to show up. The night is long, you can do your less important stuff (aka homework) later 👍

Haha, nice try, but sorry mate. Anyway, welcome!
The room is now open.
During yesterdays practice we raced the TVR Tamora '02, a FR car sporting 345 BHP. Tonight we'll be racing a Chevrolet Camaro SS '10, upping the BHP to 427. But the PP is the same, both cars are rated with 480 performance points. Tires are still Sports: Soft maximum, light penalties and no other restrictions.

Only 5 finished tonight...
...25 laps....wow that took about 40 minutes...still enjoyed it...tyres were doing ok....not sure if it was even worth a pit stop???
Connection wise....might just have been one of those nights....better luck next week I hope...maybe worth setting race quality to low for your lounge despawn...and everyone should 'clear system cache' then switch off and on before entering someone lounge...that's meant to help...

I think we could change the format this week on Monday to a series of 5 lap races starting at 8.30pm with reverse grid order for each subsequent race.
This will mean more 'fun' races and less messing about qualifying (over an hour last night) and if you do get kicked (we aren't the only group to experience this problem) then it's not too long before you get race again.
With this format, I think we should drop Sunday night as an 'official night' and focus on a good fun Monday with 5-10 'fun races' for a couple of hours or so.
We can then see if that works better and if not go back to a longer race on Monday (practice on Sunday) with qualifying etc just as we have done from the beginning.
Thoughts please...

I like the idea, more races in less time, we can try and see how it goes.

First off....id like to apologise to anyone who i may have upset by spotting DJ through the race.
Having been booted on about lap 8 with a 5 second lead, i decided to pop back in and view the rest of the race.
Interestingly DJs tyres held up and even a pitstop didnt improve his times. Yet piti on old tyres still matched laptimes at the end of the race.
Congrats to DJ for a great victory. Smooth racing all the way.👍
Im happy to join in on any races. Think 5 laps better than 3 tho.
I know equal cars should equal close racing, but that wasnt the case lastnight.
Feel free to shoot me down, but some people like 4wd some like rwd and some Fwd.
Why not try a week where we set PP and WHT and let us choose what car we own from our garages.
I know that sounds selfish of me as have all cars bar one. But we all must have some cars that we use in career mode.
Just a suggestion. Maybe a mini race or bttc or something.
