For my first ABS off race in weeks I had fun.
Great battle with Nel for the most part of race 2.
I messed up and ended up hitting (plowing) him twice since I had overheated my front tires.

Penguin will the results be put into a table I can't open pdfs on this laptop because it sucks.
Great racing tonight was hoping Dax would make race 1 as he was .5 faster than me in quali so would have tough to hold onto him in race 1. Anyway I led most of race 1 with Nel close behind lost the lead with 3 to go. I just managed to get back infront on the last lap which proved cruical, Nel got side by side on the run to the line but my exit speed pulled me infront taking the win.
Race 2 was a bit hectic the first few laps. Fox spinning on lap 1 or 2 made me have to cut the last corner which resulted in me hitting Snake so I gave the place back and continued on. The laps ticked by and I inched closer to the leading pack hoping for a slip up for one of them and it came on lap 5 or 6 at the last corner. Someone had outbraked themselves and caused a bit of contact resulting in slow exit speed for the leading 4 so I pounched and took 2 places (Akmuq and Carb).
Next lap I watched Nel do a Hamilton esk overtake on Car for the lead (Around the outside at T4-5 fore the haripin). Next lap I was braking normally for the hairpin and turned but Car was slow, I wasn't even intending to pass but when I seen I was on his inside I just went with it. I managed to pass both we locked wheels a few times which I'm sorry for. I was in Nels draft so caught in within a lep and a half and onto lap 9 we had a duel for the lead into T1, Nel missed his braking point so sailed wide and I took the lead. From then on there I just tried to focus and pull a gap which was aid by Car fighting Nel for 2nd.
I managed to hold on and take a double win with a .4 lead on Nel.
Great racing guys cleanest i've seen accept a few bumps at the last turn but thats racing

Announcement:
For Season 3 (which I'm hopeful of launching with less time between seasons) the point for fastest lap will be removed becauseI gain no advantage from it it only encourages people to drive behind others in order to gain the fastest lap by drafting... well, with the expection of Dax.

ok
Will we be sticking with Swifts are will there be a change of car?
I think we could change to another car (also bone stock save for some upgrades probably) for the sake of change. Nothing big though, something I can drive better than others
It's actually fun to host series because of the power...

A good car would be the CR-Z TC with Sport Medium tyres. Or we could make it longer races and make both Softs and Mediums mandatory.
But it's a DLC car, I only own Spa and SSRX track packs...
However, a RM'd car would do fine. Probably the return of Elise RM's if Dax doesn't want to bring it back?

Got to keep that in mind as they're easier to drive, but... I dunno, I really found the initial Elise season one of the most epic ever, the only way it could've been more epic would be if I didn't have that ballast for 6 of 8 races...
Unfortunately some of those drivers probably aren't all that active anymore even if I were to put that in its usual timeslot... Good times always die out

Coming from me you seriously do not want to use the Golf RM it is one of the worst Fwd cars I ever raced. (Golf RM series run by LancerEvo) It has so little grip and so much understeer it's freaking hopeless 
. Not even my mad loose Fwd tunes made it any good 
.
Trust me on this one guys I know my Fwds and this one is just useless.

I think I want to keep away from PP restrictions, HP/weight allows for less gaps to form...

Best car for spec racing (Tuning prohibited) is the standard Clio 20v

Stock (maybe a slight power uprgrade?) Spoon CR-Zs. Have a cup car look about them and are reasonably fast. 👍

If you change to another car, it won't be Swifts season 3!
If you want to change cars thats fine but I'll take on the Swifts if you no longer want them as I believe this is a good series.

May I suggest for Season 3...
Any car you want, 200BHP maximum power and 1200KG minimum weight, and all cars have to have at maximum 420PP
Or something like that, all on Sports hards.
Would make for some epic and unique fighting.
No... it would be the Toyota 86 series
I think that is the obvious choice.
