Right lads (and girls :S) have updated the times for this week. Cut off is at 10PM UTC today and we'll be going live on week4 in the morning!

Dont forget the time change in the UK, BST starts tonight! (less sleep :( but week 4 is an hour sooner for us! WOO!)

Yeah I know I will create the thread in the morning around 9am GMT! Would you mind puting the top 5 wheel and ds3 drivers and then top ten overall tonight at 10pm so people can quickly see where they stand! Thanks again and good luck everyone!

Ok,thanks.
i had a quick go again but couldn't improve.
i think the couple of glasses of wine were kicking in :cheers:
cant wait for a go at the next one.
 
Thought I might as well post my best lap from earlier in the week. I should be able to run sub 1:25 easily with my best sectors, so I had been planning to come back to it but didn't really feel like it. Only a slight improvement, but it puts me into 3rd for the DS3 (Sorry NJ72 ;) I see you live nearby too, I'm in Axbridge next to Cheddar).

Driver: mizx / zu3-
Time: 1:26.311
Transmission: Manual
Controller: DS3
ABS: 1
Brake Balance: 8 / 7
 
mizx you sonofagun! lol. I thought us west country boys were supposed to look out for eachother! ;) haha

Good time buddy. If I wasnt halfway through watching a film i'd give it one last shot to get back in the top 3. I'll give this one to you, but when it comes to next week in the AC cobra, you wont be so lucky! Muhuha.... Muhuhahaha.... MUHUhhahahahahahahaha*cough*haha*cough*hahahaaaaaaargh...

EDIT: sod the film, I got a half hour left. I'm gonna beat you or i'll die drift trying!
 
Great final times coming guys! Only half an hour left of this weeks comp so start putting your last laps in while you can!

@NJ72 should I create the new thread tonight or tomorow morning? What do you think?
 
May as well up it tonight.

I dont mind whacking it up once I've done my final run (i'll be finished by 10, DW lol) and updated this with the top5s and top 10.

it's up to you though my good man

EDIT: God bless south-western rivalry. (and a good ol' can of guinness!)

:( i'm sleepy and now full of guinness ok!

jeez... all you guys do is complain... ;) haha.

All sorted now 👍 sorry TP3

EDIT: turns out it was partially my fault and partially my fault... lol

I quoted the time sheet directly, so it is my fault (partially) for not noticing the error as i mindlessly copied.

but it is also partially my fault for putting the error on there in the first place :banghead: lol
