Time Trial Challenge

[Shoemacher]

As someone who struggles to fit online race series around real life I cannot recommend this enough.

A good group of racers, excellent data logging that you can compare your lap against others - all you need is enough time each week to post a clean, ideally quick lap. Season 10 soon to start looks like it should be great fun as well.

 

[mark7389]

So congratulations to Hasslemoff, League 1 winner for Championship 9, followed home by Born2BSlow and zr1chris.

Handicapped championship was won by Twistygit, with zr1chris and Hasslemoff taking the other podium places.

Some stats for you for the championship.

2682 laps completed.
6862 miles completed, which according to Google Maps is about the same as driving from London to Buenos Aires.

[mark7389]

Nice turnout for race 1 with 26 drivers taking part.
Well done Born2BSlow, who puts in a marvelous lap to take the win from our reigning champion Hasslemoff despite him putting in an impressive 101 laps.
In League 2, xjay1337 decides he likes the look of this one and annihilates everyone else in the league.
League 3 sees AesopF1 taking the lead after a dedicated 80 laps.
Over in the "Anything can Happen" handicapped championship ROSSinHD takes an early lead, but as we know staying there is the tricky bit as his handicap falls from 5.12% to 4.64% for the next race.

 

[mark7389]

Time for a Race 2 round-up. Interesting combo, with a short lap, a car that seemed to be permanently sideways and a race director that had got out of the wrong side of bed. This led to nearly 2000 laps being racked up with a record invalid percentage of 56%.

I think we can safely say it was tight at the top with Born2BSlow nicking the win from Hasslemoff by 0.00244 of a second, giving him 2 wins out of 2. And boy did they try hard doing nearly 500 laps between them.
Assuming Shoemacher is on a sabbatical then it's tight for the one remaining relegation slot with okufa, Dpb1975, Twistygit and molineux1980 all within a point of each other.
Over in League 2, xjay1337 keeps up his tactic of popping up at the last minute and decimating us all. Matt S comes in an honorable second.
League 3, new joiner Lanius1984 makes an impression coming 4th overall and therefore taking the League 3 win. AesopF1 just 5 hundredths behind him gets second.

Over in the handicapped championship McGyver43 takes the win but it's long-standing Handicapped master Matt S that has the lead overall.

 

[mark7389]

There's a new guy in town and he's blooming quick. Speeddmon91 takes the win, beating the best of our best by over a second. However as a new joiner, he's not in League 1 yet, so the win goes to Hasslemoff, pipping Born2BSlow. Born2BSlow remains in the League 1 lead but Hasslemoff has closed the gap.
In League 2, xjay1337 didn't show up and yours truly was winning with a couple of hours until deadline and then Matt S had one final push and stole the lead by 0.005 secs. So he takes the League lead with myself following.
In League 3 AesopF1 has a clear lead with Lanius1984 and Quikcurl fighting for the second spot. However if Speeddmon91 keeps playing then he'll very quickly be in the mix.
Over in the randomness that is the handicap challenge, Roisinbag takes the win, albeit with nearly a 27% handicap, but to be fair that's kind of the point of this thing, anyone can do well. Matt S keeps up some steady results to keep the overall lead with McGyver43 and Simon P in 2nd and 3rd.

 

[mark7389]

New version of the app is out. Now with notifications, chat, news, new home screen etc, etc.

 

[mark7389]

So for the first time the IOS app becomes the preferred method of choice for uploading laps. These figures were slightly skewed by SimonOUFCExile forgetting that he has a job, a wife and family and clocking up 224 laps, nearly 3 times more than anyone else.

Speeddmon91 makes it 2 for 2 beating Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff. Born2BSlow now has a good lead over Hasslemoff. If Hasslemoff though beats him in the next 2 races it will be an absolute dead heat in terms of points and results. In which case I think I'll go back and add up all their best times over the 6 races and whoever has the lowest overall times wins. Down at the bottom okufa looking in trouble for relegation.

In League 2, Matt S takes the win and SimonOUFCexile takes 2nd. Matt S leads the League by a considerable margin with me following. With my contentious decision to increase the League 2 demotion slots to 4, it's getting a bit feisty down there. SimonOUFC pulls himself out of the relegation zone and fcaglayan drops into it. xjay1337, from being nailed on league winner, is now staring at demotion, apparently preferring to move house than clock up any laps in a virtual car.

League 3, well it's 4 to go up out of 5 in contention, AesopF1, Lanius1984, Quikcurl, McGyver43 and Speeddmon91.

In the Handicapped Championship, Matt S keeps the lead but Roisinbag is rapidly improving his times leading to him coming from behind registering 2 wins on the bounce.

So we leave behind the thrills of wandering round a semi-circle in Texas mashing a KERS button and move on to Hockenheim in an Audi R8. See you there.

 

[mark7389]

We had a record turnout for this race, 31 drivers taking part, so welcome to all the new drivers.

Speeddmon91 continued his 100% win record since joining, but as he's working his way up the leagues, it's Hasslemoff that takes the League 1 win from Born2BSlow. Now this makes things interesting. If Hasslemoff beats Born2BSlow in the final race then they will both have 3 wins and 3 2nd places. At which point I count back and total up the times over the championship and the one with the lowest times wins. Hasslemoff is already ahead on this measure, so basically it's a head-to-head, whoever wins the next race wins the League. At the demotion end, it's a race off between okufa and molineux1980.

In League 2, Simon P takes his first win and jam_my21 comes back from absence to take 2nd. Matt S and myself still sitting in the promotion slots. xjay1337 drops into the demotion zone but it's very tight down there, 4 from 6 to go down.

In League 3, I would say AesopF1, Lanius1984 and Speeddmon91 are dead certs for promotion, however it's nip and tuck between Quikcurl and McGyver43 for the last slot.

Over in the handicapped championship, Roisinbag has timed his improvement perfectly and with three wins on the bounce looks clear for the overall win. His handicap is dropping like a stone though, from 27% at the start he's now down to 18%.

That's all folks enjoy the final race of the season at Spa.

 

[mark7389]

Championship 10 is now all done and dusted.

It's congratulations to Hasslemoff, who makes it two League 1 Championship wins on the bounce, only just edging out Born2BSlow by a single point. Djbuzz07 comes in a very commendable 3rd. molineux1980 and Shoemacher drop down to League 2.

In League 2, Matt S is the League winner with myself and simon P following. The real action though was down in the relegation zone where the best 3 times for the race were all done by people trying to avoid relegation. It was a last minute burst by fcaglayan that got himself out of trouble and ended up sending jam_my21, SimonOUFCexile, garyellerby and Leachy down.

In League 3, AesopF1 and Speeddmon91 get promoted and as they're obviously very quick, myself and Matt S forgo our League 1 promotion slots and send them both direct to League 1, bypassing League 2. Lanius1984 and McGyver43 take the other 2 slots and go up to League 2.

Roisinbag takes the Handicapped championship, with 3 out of 6 clear wins. McGyver43 takes 2nd and simon P takes 3rd from Matt S on places countback.

We move on to Championship 11. With Speeddmon91 now in League 1, on past form you'd be hard pushed to bet against him sweeping all before him, but you never know. With all the new drivers League 3 is no longer a 'feeder' league but a proper league in it's own right and it's going to be tough to get out of.

For the first time we're going off-road as there's a single RallyX race this time round. It's a 5 week/6 race championship with the plan being you dip in and out of the RallyX one over the 5 weeks, which could make the last week of the season interesting as there'll be 2 races worth of points up for grabs.

See you there :-)

If you want to get involved we're at www.stoopidchallenges.com and we have a Windows and IOS app that does all the laptime submissions.

 

[mark7389]

Still time to enter the latest championship, all races closing on 2nd May. Just sign-up at stoopidchallenges.com, download the IOS app and get racing with all the laps being sent directly to the website.

 

[mark7389]

Okey dokey, let's have a little bit of an update. The single end date for all 6 races is a bit of a damp squib, kind of forced upon us by differing release dates of an update that seriously changed the lap times attainable. But hey ho we plough on and next championship we're back to our challenge per week.

As it stands, Speeddmon91 is leading League 1 but he hasn't got it all his own way with Djbuzz07 coming up with some great times and Hasslemoff taking a couple of wins and yet to post times for a couple of races.

Down in the relegation zone, it basically needs anyone to turn up to completely get themselves out of the danger area.

In League 2 Lanius94 is completely dominant with myself and Simon P hanging onto his coat-tails.

In the relegation zone, McGyver43 and Shoemacher are heading downwards. Shoemacher in particular is a shame becuase he was pretty quick.

League 3 is the most hectic league, DoR currently with a clean sweep of all 6 races but very tight between Quikcurl and Smoke241 for the final promotion slot.

Now the Handicapped championship, which I always have a soft spot for because it's the only hope I have of actually winning, is a bit buggered up becuase the handicap normally re-calculates week on week, but with all the races ending simultaneously this isn't happening. But that's to take nothing away from everyone's favourite new chat king, and run-away leader, Brattskeggr, who has put in an enormous amount of laps and effort.

So all this could change with a week and a half to go, so keep on playing, a bit of effort in this last period can make a big difference.

Mark

 

[mark7389]

Speeddmon91, as well as producing fantastic "This is how it should be done" videos for us all to scratch our heads over, is still unbeaten since joining the site with 10 straight victories. So he takes the Championship 11 win with Born2BSlow and Djbuzz07 scrapping unti the last moment for second place. AesopF1 and zr1chris get demoted.

In league 2 Lanius1984 destroyed everyone else with a clean sweep of 1st places with myself a distant second. McGyver43 and Shoemacher go down.

In league 3 DoR takes the win, only failing to get a clean sweep of victories because BlackEagleUK turns out to be a demon with a handbrake in a Mini. Quikcurl takes 2nd and the final promotion slot.

In the handicapped championship Brattskeggr was dominant only getting beaten at Monaco, which apparently was driving him nuts. Djbuzz07 takes 2nd with Lanius1984 3rd.

Some stats for you for the championship.

2932 laps completed.
5500 miles completed, which according to Google Maps is about the same as driving from London to San Diego.

Race 1 at Silverstone all done, which turned out to be a bit of a "point it through the chicanes and hope the race director's having a nap" exercise.

It was a nice turnout of 25 drivers but we always welcome more, it looks a bit complicated because I'm a data freak, but basically it's just jump in the car/track combo and set a time, so come and join us at https://www.stoopidchallenges.com/.

Speeddmon91's unbeaten run stretches to 12 races, although Hasslemoff and DoR pushed him close, within a couple of tenths, but having only completed 4 laps you can't help thinking that there was more time there for Speeddmon91 if he'd have wanted.

Over in League 2, where all the pretty people live, I did OK in this one and came first with simon P in second.

In League 3 we have omnio leading followed by Smoke 241

In the handicapped championship it's omnio followed by BMW Z4M and then NJT1000.

 

[mark7389]

Nice turnout of 28 drivers with a smattering of new joiners, so welcome all.

Speeddmon91 was under enough pressure at the end there from Hasslemoff that he felt it necessary to pop in a 2nd and a 3rd lap just to make sure. Meanwhile DoR had a last minute run to pip Djbuzz07 to the 3rd so the final positions for race 2 were Speeddmon91, Hasslemoff and then DoR.

In League 2, fcaglayan makes a welcome return and beats simon P into 2nd.

League 3, jam_my21, again been away for a while and comes back to take the win, with omnio and Smoke241 still sitting in the promotion slots.

In the handicapped championship, NJT1000 takes the win and moves into 1st place in the championship. The others currently in contention are omnio, BMW Z4M and Roisinbag.

In various alternative tables, it's Finland ahead of Turkey and then the UK in the country table and PC players ahead of XBox and then PS4 in the format table.

Now it's off to Long Beach in a Ferrari, head over to stoopidchallenges.com if you'd like to take part, all welcome.

 

[Scaff]

I've only just found this, looks like fun and will fit in with my (lack of) time to get involved in a formal league.

 

[mark7389]

It's pretty easy, just drop into the challenge when you have a bit of spare time and pclapupdater sends all the laps to the website

 

[mark7389]

3rd race was at Long Beach in a Ferrari and at the risk of repeating myself, it's Speeddmon91 that takes the win by a full second. If this guy isn't a real-life professional driver then he should be :-) Born2BSlow is back to his best to take 2nd place and DoR takes 3rd place with what must be some sort of record for hitting the restart button, only completing 14 laps out of 185 that he started. Down in the League 1 relegation zone Dpb1975 is going to need some good results to get himself out of the relegation zone.

In League 2 Quikcurl takes the win, with myself and simon P following. Due to no-shows, I'm thinking of extending the relegation zone to 4 down and 4 up from League 3, watch this space.

In League 3 jam_my21 continues his triumphant return, clocking his second win on the bounce and is rapidly catching omnio and Smoke241.

In the Handicapped Championship NJT1000 wins and has a commanding lead, however victory comes at a price and his handicap has fallen from an initial 11.84% down to 9.63% meaning he's going to have to keep on getting quicker to keep the results coming. omnio stays in second and BMWZ4M drops back failing to get any points in this race.

 

[mark7389]

After a truly terrifying experience of driving an Oreca around Bathurst, God knows what it's like in VR, yet again Speeddmon91 takes victory. He must have liked that one because we got 11 laps out of him. Born2BSlow continues his comeback with DoR taking 3rd, he's taken up residency in that spot. Due to having a clearout of no-shows I've ended up in League 1 and straight into a relegation battle with andy_b, didn't think that one through very well.

In League 2 Quikcurl takes the win but jam_my21 moves into the overall lead, despite having missed a race. Smoke241 stays 2nd but it's going to be tight up there for the promotion slots.In the relegation slots RossinHD gets 5 points and fcaglayan does a last minute run to grab 4pts. It's very busy down there and I wouldn't like to guess who'll be relegated.

In League 3 tuomijr and NJT1000 hold the promotion slots, but there's a new guy speedy_sam, who is looking very quick, but probably joined a bit too late in the season to get out of League 3 this time round.

In everyone's favourite lottery the handicap calculation gets NJT1000 in the end and he can only manage 22nd, but still well out in front overall. tuomijr takes the win and leaps up to 3rd overall.

We have a new competition, where teams of 3 drivers compete. Due to the phenomenal takeup of this so far, ie bloody no-one, my team The Bandicoots are storming it, oh well, at least I'm winning something.

In the country championship, the Finns maintain their reputation as great drivers with their 3rd victory on the trot.

See you in Zolder in a Ginetta :-)

 

[mark7389]

We have a great turnout for race number 5, with 31 people taking part.

Speeddmon91 had to stretch his legs a bit as he was pushed for the win by newcomer sean_d(VR) who clocked a very impressive 111 laps for second. DoR came in 3rd, achieved within 4 laps. Down at the sad end of the table andy_b put in some last minute laps to sneak ahead of me and sets up a winner takes all scenario for the last relegation slot.

In League 2 Smoke241 takes the win and is all but mathematically assured of taking the title. The final promotion slot is well up for grabs with Paicey, Quikcurl, jam_my21 and omnio all in with a shot. I think the relegation slots are pretty much nailed down with Brattskeggr and molineux1980 going down.

League 3 and tuomijr has won it with NJT1000 looking good for second. Newcomers sean_d(VR) and Pappers are looking very quick though and we'll try and get them up and out of League 3 as quickly as possible.

In the handicapped lottery Racermark83 wins with garyellerby second. tuomijr takes 9 points to put himself within touching distance of NJT1000 with one race to go.

In the new Team Championship, my team the Bandicoots are winning but that could all be transformed in an instant if some of the other teams manage to fill their slots.

Anyone else wants to join in we're at www.stoopidchallenges.com

 

[mark7389]

Speeddmon91 takes the race and championship win. That now makes 16 races unbeaten and he's never been defeated since he started. DoR takes second place comfortably with Djbuzz07 taking the final podium slot edging out Born2BSlow (I think that may be the first time he hasn't made the top three). In the relegation zone andy_b beats me sending me down alongside Dpb1975.

In League 2 Smoke241 goes up alongside jam_my21 with Brattskeggr (despite a fine last ditch attempt) and molineux1980 going down.

tuomijr and NJT1000 escape League 3 and head up to League 2.

In the handicapped championship tuomijr puts together a strong final finish to pip NJT1000 with Rosinbag coming from nowhere to steal 3rd.

In the newly formed team championship, my team The Bandicoots take the win, primarily by being the only team to have a full compliment of members for the whole championship.

Some stats for you for the championship.

2609 laps completed.
7349 miles completed, which according to Google Maps is about the same as driving from London to Honolulu, obviously there's some praticality issues in doing it in reality.

[mark7389]

Another round completed at StoopidChallenges. Speeddmon91 takes the win and indeed all of League 1 show remarkable consistency by being in the exact same order as Race 1.
League 2 has Dpb1975 taking the win, but tuomijr stays in the league lead with another 2nd place. Down at the bottom fcaglayan posts a time getting himself out of the potential 'no-show' auto-relegation.
League 3, sean_d(VR) looking very strong with Brattskeggr closely following after winning a personal duel with Masquerada.
The Handicapped Championship sees garyellerby still out in front but SimonOUFCexile, Dpb1975 and Masquerada throw themselves into the mix with good results.
In the Team Championship, DoR finally posts a time with 15 minutes left until close to enable The Bandicoots to take the win and gain ground on QC Racing.

So this week is the last chance for no-shows to post a time. If it stays as it is jam_my21 is going down to League 3 and the leader of League 2 will be going up to League 1 and the leader of League 3 will go up to League 2 to fill the gap left. If NJT1000 doesn't show up as well then the 2nd place in League 3 will also go up to League 2.

 

[jammy21]

@mark7389 You can put me as down you have to. I can't do tt's next 2-3 months as I do online races.

Edit: I still might do one or two...

No problem, just turn up when you fancy it :-)

 

[mark7389]

The tail happy Jaguar F-Type at Knockhill leads to a record amount of invalid laps of 50%, and brings StoopidChallenges it's Rocky vs Ivan Drago moment, "You cut him, you hurt him, he's not a machine, he's a man". Hasslemoff puts in the most attempted laps of the week and beats Speeddmon91 by 0.08 sec, bringing to an end his unbeaten run since he started of 18 races.

In League 1 Hasslemoff's win brings him within touching distance of Speeddmon91 and down in the relegation zone it's looking like 2 of 3 out of andy_b, Twistygit and Smoke241.
In League 2 sean_d(VR) completely dominates with tuomijr and Dpb1975 fighting for the 2nd spot. In the relegation zone, fcaglayan and omnio are in trouble.
In League 3 it's tight for the 2 promotion slots between Masquerada, Cxrodent and molineux1980.

In the handicapped championship mikeyb99 takes the win and in the championship it's Masquerada, Quikcurl and then garyellerby.

Over in the team championship QC Racing (Quikcurl,Djbuzz07 and Paicey) take an easy win, well ahead of The Bandicoots (Me, Dpb1975, DoR)

Next race is Bannochbrae in a BMW M1 Procar, should be fun.

 

[mark7389]

Well I thought the Bannochbrae/BMW M1 Procar combo was a cracker. sean_d(VR) obviously thought so, because he drove his pants off to take his first ever win, not only in real-time but in the handicapped version as well.

The big League 1 news is that Speeddmon91 was a no-show, hope it's a one off because he really is an awesome driver. That leaves Hasslemoff to take his 2nd win on the trot and opens up a commanding lead. Born2BSlow, Speeddmon91 and Djbuzz07 all fighting it out for the other podium positions. In the relegation zone, Smoke241 is a goner and it's between andy_b and Twistygit for the last slot.
In League 2 sean_d(VR) is outclassing us all by some considerable margin and the sooner he sods off up to League 1 the better ;-) tuomijr looking solid for the other slot. Relegation slots are also looking pretty nailed on with fcaglayan and omnio going down.
League 3 is looking more competitive with 2 out of Masquerada, TrigL, Cxrodent and molineux1980 going up, with TrigL having a good race to put himself up there.

In the Handicapped championship a good solid performance by Hasslemoff sees him leap from 4th to 1st followed in by Masquerada.

In the team championship QC Racing continues to dominate and a couple of no-shows from SimonOUFCexile and DoR hurt the Skiidmarks and the Bandicoots respectively.

Think that's about it, see you at Willow Springs :-)

 

[mark7389]

Round up for that lovely lush scenic track that is Willow Springs. Nice amount of people took part, 31.

In League 1, well done to Hasslemoff making it 3 on the bounce and by quite a margin as well, 0.7secs. Born2BSlow takes 2nd and well done to Lanius1984 who takes 3rd. Hasslemoff virtually uncatchable for the League win now, all the excitement is down at the bottom with andy_b and Twistygit tussling to avoid the last relegation slot.
League 2, sean_d(VR) and tuomijr good for the promotion slots, the rest of us scrabbling about in the middle, and then omnio and fcaglayan definitely down.
In League 3, barring any disasters, TrigL and Masquerada should be up, and well done to new joiner Maclean10 who got the best time in that league and AllanPRF who was 3rd.

To the Handicapped Championship and BMWZ4M takes the win, but Hasslemoff keeps his lead, whilst garyellerby makes up ground. All to play for coming in to the last round.
In the Team Championship, DoR turns up with 15 minutes left and brings the win home for The Bandicoots (DoR, Dpb1971 and me). QC Racing though still dead certs for the overall championship.

And we're off to the full Le Mans circuit for the last race of the season, see you there.

 

[mark7389]

It's goodbye to the shocking Ford Mustang GT, which most of us found to be a bit of a shocker.

It's well done to sean_d(VR) who nicks the win from Born2BSlow by 0.08secs with Hasslemoff 3rd. That brings sean_d(VR) right up with Born2BSlow in League 1. Down at the bottom it's looking like it's going to be a tight one with Quikcurl, DoR, Dpb1975, Twistygit and tuomijr all within a couple of points of each other with2 to go down.
In League 2, andy_b, TrigL and Paicey come 1/2/3 for the second race on the trot. At the bottom it looks like we're having a no-show with Smoke241.
League 3 sees U4IK_ST8 and evans in the promotion slots, keep an eye on Smoke241, if he doesn't show up next race the leader of this league goes up. MrD and irbravo didn't post a time for this race and end up propping up the league.
In the newly formed League 4, GT500Cobra takes the lead with Pig oN Pot x and danoliver1 chasing.

In the handicapped challenge GT500Cobra takes the win and jumps into the leading position.
In the team challenge QC Racing (Quikcurl, Djbuzz07, Paicey) continue to be uncatchable.

 

[mark7389]

At the end of Oschersleben in a KTM X-Bow, which was a fun little combo, numbers taking part were down a bit because some new joiners were racing with a custom setup and we had to delete their times, you can come back by the way, it's an innocent mistake lots of new joiners have made in the past :-)
Back to the racing and it's sean_d(VR) who comes out on top after a huge last minute effort and completing 121 laps in an attempt to get past Born2BSlow, which he finally does by 0.07 secs. So it's looking like it's going to be sean_d(VR) and Born2BSlow battling to the last race (bloody Nordschleife, aargh) for the Real-Time win. Hasslemoff drops back slightly. In the relegation zone, DoR in trouble as he's gone missing in action, but the last spot could be taken from any of Twistygit, Quikcurl, tuomijr or Dpb1975.
In League 2, newly promoted due to a no-show, evans goes straight into the lead with andy_b and TrigL close behind. Masquerada looking in trouble for relegation with ROSSinHD taking the other downward slot.
In League 3 it's quite tight at the top with Sundaygloom from MacLean10 and AllanPRF. Relegation slots looking likely to be taken by no-shows.
In the newly created League 4 (probably a bit hastily in retrospect) we have danoliver1 and Pig on Pot x in the promo slots.
In the handicapped championship, molineux1980 takes the win, and TrigL puts himself into contention, but its GT500Cobra still hanging in there with the lead.
Team Championship, QC Racing wins again, although my team The Bandicoots were within 0.2 secs of them this time.

See you all at Watkins Glen in a BMW M3

Report from Watkins Glen in a BMW M3 where Hasslemoff takes the win and I might have written him off too early last week becuase he's now back up there challenging for the League. sean_d(VR) stays in the lead with Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff chasing. At the bottom, no-shows from Quikcurl and Dor hurt their chances of staying in League 1.
In League 2 andy_b takes the win and moves to 1st place with evans looking good for the other promotion slot. Masquerada is looking like he's going down with the other demotion place currently held by ROSSinHD, but he can be quick when he wants to be so anything could happen.
League 3, SundayGloom continues his march upwards with MacLean10 taking his 3rd second place on the trot. Lots of no-shows at the bottom there so no demotion pressures.
League 4 danoliver1 well clear with garyellerby following, but a strong first race from Bigjobbo.
Handicapped championship, and it's RossinHD that takes the win and molineux1980 gets 2nd to take himslelf to the top of the table from GT500Cobra.
In the newly created Ballast Championship where the previous winner carries the most 'ballast' into the next race, it's our fastest three against each other again, with sean_d(VR) edging that one for the minute.
In the team championship, a no-show from Quikcurl means the Bandicoots (SundayGloom, Dpb1975 and me) take a glorious victory.

Next race is Road America in a Lambo.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I am having trouble getting setups. I’m a newbie from Forza.

So when I get to Time Trials, I am wanting the IndyCar setups for the oval kits for Chevy and Honda. The leaderboard will only show 3 or 4 pages, then it is unable to load. I see that it is sorted by Class, which is horrible because all of the top times are using the Formula X car. Is there a way to search for certain cars, or another place to get IndyCar setups?
