It is stupid - i got to a point and thought "why dont I ride a bike?" I would but my mum doesnt want me too because there dangerous.
But i bet most teenage guys will be moving to bikes, just because its soo much cheaper and just as easy to ride really so what will they do for bikers? Rise the price too? Its stupid - Teenagers are more likey to crash, but so are old people with slow reactions - yet they have very very cheap insurance and there more at risk then a teenage boy!!! Stupid 👎

Thats pretty good! I might tell my parents, only problem would be someone would have to change to be part of it :indiff: So stupid how its got so expensive over 3-4 years. My brother paid £1100 for his 106 4 years ago, main driver and stuff - and its 3 times more expensive for me 👎
 
Got race 2 uploaded. The small video window goes way out of sync on the last lap due to a glitch while recording but you'll all be bored of watching by then anyway xD
 
Great stuff mate thanks for that:tup: If only the rain had continued ive a feeling a win for you was on the cards:indiff:

No, thats an overall cost

Insurance was £1780 for a year, black box (no "fun" driving 👎 ) and £1195 for the car, then £800-£900 for fuel per year. Then Tax (£130) so its almost £4000, but if something goes wrong - more money & over £4000

Its too much for me and my hours, so only my option is to share a car

But I found other places offering me £4000 just for insurance, on a Ford Ka!! :scared: Its insane and stupid, so annoying that I cant run my own car but Im happy to share 👍

Insurance for young-uns is a joke these days (showing my toadiness now) my nephew who is 18 has a VW Polo and insurance is over a grand for that, but he hardly goes anywhere in the thing as he can't afford the petrol costs :crazy:

Yeah lap 17 or so i was willing you on to try and keep him at bay:ouch:, some great racing between you 3 guys!👍

Consider yourself hired your the V8's Steven Spielberg.:)
 
Thanks I'll take the job :lol: Yeah kept them at bay for as long as possible but I'm not into blocking anyone if they're much quicker. I was quite impressed that they didn't send any wild moves up the inside or such, and just stayed patient and waited for the right opportunity, good driving by all the guys 👍

How can my lounge be slower??
If this is the case and diff lounges can be slower then yes we will re-run in yours so it's all fair.
 
Me and jb have been doing some testing at monza to see what the penaltys pick up, and we were shocked at how much chicane can be cut without the penaltys picking up.

So this is what we have decided:

We will be the judge of the chicane cuts and runoffs, if we see you have all 4 wheels off track and you are taking the micheal we will text VOID in the text chat and that lap will be invalid!
So please be careful and keep it clean as we will be watching.

Just check the week 53 WRS acrhive and quote the rules on corner cutting from that as it was at Monza. 👍

Should help you somewhat at havina a definative place not to cut at any point anywhere on the track.

So qualifying without the penalties on? Good cause I run with the fear of running slightly wide on an overly-penalised part of the track.👍
