The Not-The-Nine-Boards-Challenge

[Famine]

Aimed to kick off in 2 weeks' time, this is a series of 10 races - consisting a sprint drag, 2 hot laps, 3 short races, a rally, 2 middle distance races and a "longer" race - aimed to be the most enjoyable and yet varied series of races I can pull out of my warped imagination.

Each precise track/race will not be posted until 00.01 GMT on Mondays, then you have a full week (until 23.59 GMT Sunday) to submit a time to my Hotmail address. Sign-ups are also by that - or any other means you can get messages to me...

The website and full rules are all up and running now - the full car list is displayed along with race order and deadlines.

Enjoy!

I'll have a think about it Famine, not sure I'll have the time for 10 events... (not with Ron doin it too )

 

[Famine]

Fair enough. Can't ask much more...

I've recently updated so that some races are paired. This drags the competition time down by 3 weeks, so it'll be over by 13th April.

Come on... you know you wanna...

 

[Kelly]

Yeah I know I wanna ..... but am I gonna ?

 

[Famine]

Let me check my programme.... Yep!"



Come on! Spank the hubby in the hybrid round. Well, don't let me stop you from spanking him whenever. Err, if he likes that. Err... I'm going to shut up now...

 

[Vasco]

Damn..."if only i had an x-port"

 

[Famine]

I've decided that hybrids aren't compulsory for that round... If enough people submit normal car times, I'll create a second table and assign rankings from 1 downwards to those AS WELL.

So feel free to sign up.

I can't keep checking 8 forums every night with my dial-up modem, so I'd direct everyone to the main threads at GTN and GT3T.

With the reminder that races 1 & 2 start on Monday morning GMT, but sign-ups are accepted right through to the races 1 & 2 deadlines on the following Sunday.

You missed the indigo font

 

[Kelly]

Do the words flog and dead horse spring to mind here?

 

[Famine]

Yep...

Still, I'M having fun... daan's posting record times and at least kart and Ganesh are giving it a splash... Ho hum. Just found out my contract really DOES expire on 31st March too today... Where's that syringe?

By the way, during a fit of boredom I built a Lotus350 hybrid for Max's Hybrid challenge. Would you like it? It's only 1750hp, but it looks nice.

 

[Kelly]

For me?

It's gotta be drivable! tried a hybrid 350 before and couldn't drive it

 

[Famine]

Well... in it's current FR form I'd say "barely". I think I'll MR it again (4WD seems like sacrilege) and try an infinite DF. Should be at least as quick as an F1 on track.
