Drivers Championship:

Constructors Championship:

Typhoon Racing
Championship leaders took both 1st & 2nd once again with no team finishing within a second of either drivers.
Will anyone be able to spoil a possible perfect season for Typhoon?

Nihon Racing
Both drivers couldnt get a decent set up all week this could be because they didnt get much time on the track after watching F1 all weekend.
They struggled to get under 1'20 & only Keiichi could manage to do a 1'19 an hour before the times had to be posted.

Balang Project w/ RE-Amemiya
A good points haul this week sees the time climb up to 2nd in the Constructors table.
Balang seems to be consistently faster than his team mate as a result he is placed 4th with almost double the amount of points as his team mate.

American MC Racing
An incredible 3rd place for John Heinricy today sees him climb to joint 2nd in the Drivers championship.
Although Dean Martin was yet again almost 2 seconds behind John, Could this be all down to the car?

Infinity
Both drivers times were very close & just got split by Taiki Saruwatari as the 3 cars were seperated by 0.078 seconds.
Both drivers were reorted to saying they could've improved their times,
How wouldve the faster times affected things?
The low powered 350Z & the new Lotus seem not to run well on the recent faster tracks.

Importatori Italiani
The team almost scored their first points of the season due to an error.
Unfortunately is wasnt to be.
Hopefully their old cars can score the teams first points.



The next race in the BTC's schedule will take place on Midfield Raceway.

Sorry guys, will not be able to make the deadline this week after. The Lotus is being a 🤬. Good luck to all others, but the highest I can get this round were 1 minute 28s. Oh well, AMM will be here next week
 
Times submitted . there was about .4 left on the track for 350Z and .7 for the Lotus.

Here are the "New" stats of the Lotus:

617BHP and Weights 1166Kg
and total cost 147,612 Cr

Got the times in, although I cant do anything as I'm off to the hospital & My Excel is screwing up & only letting me into "Compatability Mode" so the tables will end up looking slightly different when I figure out a new way to do them..
 
I've sorted everything out.
Unfortunately everything will look very basic for a while until I sort out some other way to produce the tables.

:indiff: This is sad, but also funny...:sly:

Trying not to end up with another last place, I've asked to my drivers to do their best at Midfield. I hope the 300ZX (which became a lot faster and less "understeery" during the last test would have a chance to get closer to the first place (or, at least, farther from the last). If none of the car will be fast enough to obtain 1 point, I'll consider withdrawing from the championship

Its always said when teams consider dropping out. Especially when they are a very new team to the championship.
Everyone at Nihon Racing hope that Importatori Italiani can score some points this season as it would be a shame to lose such a new team.

As of yet neither of our drivers have turned up for testing for the next round of the BTCup.
With another F1 weekend coming up both drivers need to put in alot of testing early as we are sure they will want to watch all the weekends activities.
At Nihon Racing we are hoping to post times under 1'05 as that was the time took first last year.
This seasons cars seem to be a couple of seconds faster and because of this I can see the guys at Tyhoon Racing getting close to the 1'00 mark.
If any driver manages to go under a minuite it will be an amazing achievement in our eyes.

Due to Balang Racing w/ RE-Amemiya's schedule racing abroad we will not be able to attend the next round and even possible the one after depending on the dates.
