I'm outta here for a week or two. My 3-day old son has *can't remember the name*, which means his trachea is not connected to something else important. He's just been flown by heli for an operation in Newcastle (NSW) and we'll follow in a few hours from now. Keep it cool kids, and I'll see you in two weeks.

Thanks mate, he's just about back to 'normal baby' treatment, or as close as we'll ever get to it. And for the record, it was oesophageal atresia with a tracheoesophageal fistula.

....wondering which will come first....
Official release of GT5?
Or a judging round of TCV5? lol
It's funny. Back in the summer, I spent a good portion inside trying to hammer up the TCV5, fearing someone would finish up before me!
I thought we'd all be discussing TCV6 by now! 💡
Ah well......

a) You are more than several months late.
b) Because it was based more on PTW to even the playing field and from the times that were put down, I was right on the money.
c) Because the TC's are all about making the perfect package, regardless of drivetrain.
As for others wishing about TCv6....go do TGC for the time being, I'm playing catch-up with TCv5 judging. 👍

Okay, I have an idea that I may get lightly flamed for but..I'll see what everyone thinks. 
Is anyone ELSE at all interested in finishing this contest up??? Seriously, I know peeps get busy, but it seems the other three judges have simply dropped the ball. They coulda done a car a day (or even a car a week at this point) and we'd have some winners by now.
Maybe TCV5 is simply dead in the water, and if nobody else cares, I'll let it go for good (promise). But it was such a good contest, I think it deserves a second go. Certainly, if I had entered a car in TCV5, I would care. I would want to see some results by now.
Here's what I'm thinking. Let's have some new judges. These new judges would have to start from scratch, driving all cars in all divisions (light, middle, heavy and super). mafs has assured me privately that he hasn't forgotten about TCV5, and wants to finish it up, so let's have at leats a couple other new judges. It's the new year (in Western society anyways), it's ridiculous TCV5 never got wrapped up.
I'll open the floor for other's opinions.

I most definitely care and I agree about the other judges having gone off and died... Mafs has reasonably legitimate reasons but mcsqueegy and in.s@ne seem to be avoiding the subject rather completely. Well, actually, Macca gave a reasonable explanation (that never happened, he said a week and it's going on 2 months) but not in.s@ne.

Cool! Would you wanna do it, RJ? Would anyone else want RJ to do it?
I was actually thinking you'd be perfect cuz I remember you had quite a passion for the entire contest back in the summer. I mean, it ain't up to me, it's up to mafs and maybe someone else. But I just wanna see it get done.
Maybe if others show interest, perhaps it'll inspire the contest to move forward again?!?

In my opinion:
- This should be considered finished (I doubt we will find the necessary amount of people to carry on with this). Not only do they have to finish what the rest didn't, but start from scratch again. It is easier to find people for a new challenge.
- A new thread should be made for a new challenge.

Hmmm.....I'm cool with it since the other two haven't said squat about what's going on and repeated questions had been asked in the past.
However, I will say that it has been a constant struggle FOR ME to get on top of things, I get into it....I don't get into it, I get into it, I don't get into it. It's like I restart each time I get into it because I get myself back up to speed and that's the annoying thing at the moment for me. That's kind of why I was looking for a hired gun to drive for GME in the TGC because I doubt I will have the time to do that properly after releasing the cars.
I don't do things in dribs and drabs when I judge either, I do batches and whenever I do, I have people (like my 4yr old) constantly annoying me which prevents me from focusing fully onto the cars and usually winds up with a controller somewhere between the lounge and the next rooms wall.
Also, the amount of driving at Motegi East I've done to get myself back up to speed HAS affected me at other tracks like GVS, so the frustration grows and grows and grows. It's disheartening, but it will never force me to quit.
Rest assured, I have my side almost wrapped up and you'll get ALL 3 categories that I have been judging (Light, Middle, Super) in the next couple of weeks. Each time I drive it's like restarting from scratch and I'm getting various results with times and feelings of cars....I think I've driven Roj's M3 Supercar entry atleast 9 different times now.

Forget TCV6 for now. What's hte point if TCV5 isn't finished up yet?
But it's looking like we'll have some results from mafia boy. CAmry Fan is showing interest in being a judge, so all we need is one more judge.
