What The Dickens!
It's December, that merry old time of the year again.
So to celebrate the season, every day is going to be Christmas day and in a traditional Charles Dickens Victorian style, that means snow!
Monday's @ 8pm UK
In the 5 week gap between my GT1s ending and Zo's VGTAs starting I've decided to run this filler' fun series that will hopefully keep everyone occupied over the period.
It's been thrown together quite quickly but hopefully it should run fairly well. If it doesn't, blame Zolon
So this introduction will be relatively short, I'll add or make changes to it if things come to light.
What we'll be racing are 2 cars over 3 tracks each evening.
The cars are the Olsbergs RX Lite...
...and the Ford Bronco Bucky Trophy Truck (yes that's right).

The cars are the Olsbergs RX Lite...
...and the Ford Bronco Bucky Trophy Truck (yes that's right).
Each evening there will be 4 races in the Olsbergs, 2 at each of the listed tracks, and at the end of the evening a 3 to 4 lap race in the Bronco at the 3rd, longer track. The 1st race at each track in the the Olsbergs will have 5 mins practice followed by a 10 minute race. The 2nd race will also be 10 minutes but without practice. The Bronco race will not have a practice session.
And yes every race will be in the snow! The cars are both 4WD so it's nowhere near as bad as you might think. The Olsbergs slides just nicely, the Bronco ploughs through everything.
For the RX cars I'd like you to try and keep to the track... if you can! There are sometimes shortcuts that can be taken but generally it's quicker on the (ice covered) tarmac.
For the Trucks it's all restraints removed. You can take any lines you like around the tracks! You can also bash other trucks if you feel like it - but bear in mind damage is on FULL so you'll take some too. They are quite tough but do give up eventually*. Winner will be 1st over the line or perhaps the last man standing (which might be the same).
* I tried to play against the AI but they were just no fun, they just wanted to race.
Anyway I hope you all enjoy the bit of light relief.
There may be a bit of mayhem but it's all just for Festive Frolics.

ABS allowed if needed. It is slippery after all.
TC maybe allowed - I haven't decided. It does remove some of the fun.
Standing starts.
Damage will be on Visual only for the Olsbergs.
Damage will be on FULL for the Trucks!
Penalties ON for the Olsbergs.
Penalties OFF for the Trucks
Track limits off for all.
Tyre wear etc. OFF
I did think of teams but that's more work.
And of course...
Season's Greetings go out to all those who have joined in with my series throughout the year.
Thanks for racing, it would be a bit quiet without you.

How's that possible when we should have same car and same stock setup? Is there something that I don't know about difference with cars/setups as I have wheel and I think it's loose stock setup that I used.
. Please remove 6th gear from his car.😉
