Hi guys, is anyone in trouble getting to race sunday being mothers day? Let me know if you are and we can put it off for a week.

Im good to race this Sunday, I'll get he Mother's Day stuff out the way in the morning.

Also what times is everyone doing around Cape ring? Did a quick 5 lapper and can get 1:43.8, but knowing clint he's probably doing 40's ;)
 
45 was my best, but I haven't done much practice. There is definitely time to be made but I agree with Clint it would use lots of tyres
 
Managed a 44.8 on lap 10 but so easy to get it all wrong.. And the left side is a killer on tyres, I'm thinking that it gunna be another case of cross your fingers and try to stay on track...
 
Sorry guys, but I must excuse myself from the race as I have a mother's day :cheers: commitment that's hard to avoid. I might make it back for the race but can't be certain :confused: - so I may be there but don't hold things up if I'm not:gtpflag:
 
First and foremost, beg sorry to brigzy who I punted into the wall on lap 1 after a tap from him (which was my fault as I didn't give him enough room). I did slow up but didn't wait for you to get past me. Mind fart on my part and if you want a free shot at me next week, go for it!

After that little incident I set about hunting down those in front, I seemed to have more pace on crap tyres which worked well for me. Got level with Sean and Luke then ran with them for many laps, was a great battle, really enjoyed the challenge of overtaking at this track; there were some places to do it but you really had to think ahead.

Eventually made my way up to 2nd, where I hoped to catch VH but his lead was way too much to catch, well done to VH for doing his specialty of hitting the front and leaving everyone in his dust.

Glad to have gotten a good result in the BMW, just need to focus on qualifying better next round.
 
Really struggled to maintain the pace on Sunday.

Had a spin and an off which made catching up tough. Absolutely blitzed the last three laps to overtake Greg.

Great to see a strong showing from everyone. Looking forward to next week
 
Hi guys, great racing sunday hope you all enjoyed it. Top job to v.h for the pole, fastest lap and win. I enjoyed first set of tyres but was off the pase on next 2 sets. Had good run with clint and then auts both doing better job than me. Nice driving guys. Auts put his hand up for an incident with briggzy and has copped a time deduction and lost 2 of his points which have been given to brigzzy. Was a tuff call but auts said it was his fault and happy with penalty. We are all in this for the close racing and above all fun so there will be some contact if you feel like its too much or stuffed someone up just the right thing to do to let them back past. Hate doing this but just want everyone to feel like its fair for all.

Track for next week will be up tomorrow, sorry bit busy with new job prospect. Wish me luck.
 
Top race today. Auts was just too good. Did everything I could to stay in the slipstream but after the first stop he just managed the pace and drove like a champ.

Had some a good runs against Brigzy but he made a few mistakes and I was able to reel him in.

Took photos of me two wheeling through the two right handers and another going through Sean's smoke screen praying he wasn't going to be where I put my car.

Shame Mik couldn't make it, wanted to beat him at 330hp.
 
What can I say... I love street circuits! After getting pole focused on staying up front. Had a great run with Clint for the first 11 laps, we were bumper to bumper the whole stint. Clint tried his hardest to get into the pits ahead of me, but I decided to not let that happen :). He lost 4 seconds or so getting held up by the rest of the crew jumping in to the pits.

After that focused on averaging 52's-53's while looking after my fuel consumption while managing a healthy gap to Clint who I knew without slip stream would struggle to hunt me down. Had a few big moments on two wheels on the double rights, got a great pic of Sean's car from underneath mine. Looked at the replay looked like some great racing for mid pack, well done to Luke who made the best of the situation to get 3rd. Bring on next Sunday!

Ok guys, race 5 on Sunday will be at Ciruit de Spa Francorchamps and will be an Endurance race, set for 90mins. So work out your fuel and tyre stops as we don't know how many laps with this setup but think it's a great way to mix it up a bit! Race Fast and fair and look forward to seeing you all there on Sunday.
Cheers...
 
Rules on corner cutting:

As Spa is one of those Circuits with gains to be made by cutting a few crucial corners, we have decided to state what is acceptable.

Two wheels must be inside the white lines at all times during the race, we all know what race track looks like so lets try and stay within it. Anyone caught taking the piss will be incur a time penalty, but I'm sure it wont come to that :)

Happy practicing.
 
No time for testing. What's the story on tyres and fuel?

Hey clint, if you can read this you didn't drink enough lastnight. Tyres aren't a problem more fuel 7 easy 8 tight but some are fine with it. Cutting biggest problem from what I've seen. We will be hard on it as from day one of ncr rules have always said 2 wheels inside white lines. Time penalties for continued breaches. Just the only way to police it at this track. Hope everyone understands. All the guys racing are good enough to know there limits.
 
Sorry mik, has taken a while to go through everything. Had a big hold up with best m8 passing away last night. Been in with him last few days as he was going. Hope to put post up tomorrow. Big thanks to all for trying so hard to stay within rules as its tricky at spa.
 
Hi guys, sorry for delay. Ive had a bit on. You had all asked for a long race which we where hoping to run at bathurst but wasn't going to work there with issues at that track. Spa was next best option which seemed to go very well. Vh was quick as ever with fast Auts not far behind. I had a great run with an obviously suffering from lack of power Clint. Big thanks to everyone for trying so hard to keep it between the lines was tuff.
Points:
Clint & Auts: 215
V.H: 214
Emu: 193
Luke: 188
Briggzy: 176
Grip: 172
Platinum: 172
Sean: 169
Ldw: 164
Fewzo & Fritti: 158

With everything i have going on at the moment i will have to miss the next 2 weeks, which is a bummer.
Luke and myself have mixed it up for this week. We will be running 6 by 5 lap reverse grid races at high speed ring forward. 1st & 2nd will have h.p. drops of 20 & 10 each race. At the end of the 6 races only 1st & 2nd on points will lose h.p. for next weeks race with everyone else going back to there normal h.p. Hope you all enjoy.
Next seasons car has been chosen with us going back to race cars. Would love for all of you guys to chose a track that you want run next season and send a message on psn to luke or myself and we will use them next season. With only 3 more races of this season left have a think about it.

Cheers Emu
 
Now that is some close points!

Wont be joining this weekend unfortunately as I'm out of town all weekend, should be a laugh for all those involved.
 
Sorry to hear about your mate Greg.

Definitely a tough race on the weekend. Strategy didn't work and I had trouble concentrating at the end.

Top honours to Mik who was rocket ship fast
