Sorry about my poor driving in R1 and quitting R2 but my motivation to practice and put a good race together is at an all-time low... I think I've been here too long :lol:

Anyhow, I don't see much point in participating if I can't put 100% effort in, so thanks rolo and Geeky for all the great races, but I'm pulling out of this series for good :)
 
Good racing tonight guys đź‘Ť - shame about the numbers.

Also, the Race 1 grid poll has ended.

Race 1 grids will continue to be determined by reverse championship order next season.

Reverse Championship Order won 3-2 over Normal Championship Order.

I'm also considering banning all 4WD cars for next season. đź‘Ť

Really? A great shame mate. đź‘Ž

Have given you a warning and 5 second penalty for your incidents in Race 1, but I don't suppose it matters now :sly: karsten and Weezy move up a place in Race 1.

---------------

Today's Fastest Lap: gedi69 2:17.641 (by just 0.003 over skengdigi!)

That's fair, I held my line far too much but wasn't in a decent enough state to be racing anyway

Did you see my double overtake at the end of lap 1 though? :sly:
 
Absolutely gutted I missed this. Unexpected visit from sis and bro in law. Theres absolutely no chance for me to win now...
 
Could of used your help today kk.

Frustrating races for me really gave it all i got and the results weren't good enough.

Got stuck in traffic both races and the audis pulled away .

Lucky for me Gedi made a mistake in race 1 and i got him . Race 2 got stuck in traffic again and got bumped off track lost lots of time . Carried on with the race and somehow caught Gedi and had a great battle with him for many laps , very sad though that despite leading many laps the toad leader had my ticket and got me when it counted .

Championship chances looking slim.

Nah not necessary

Then I guess the results are confirmed. Had no other complaints from Race 2.

If there are no other complaints, then points and grid will be up tomorrow. đź‘Ť

Good racing last night guys. While i did enjoy the endurance race, i feel we need at least 10 racers for such an event.

i agree, it was fun, but with 10 or 12 cars... it would have been mind blowing!

I agree with both of you guys. With 6 cars it was very hard to keep concentrated while driving alone!

Do people want to see another enduro next season? It will be held at Spa, if so. I say that if we do, we'll need a minimum number of cars, else the event will be changed to a normal round (but could still be double points I suppose).

Numbers continue to be worrying in this series... if the move to Thursdays doesn't pay off we may have to consider the series' future... fingers crossed we get fuller grids next season.

As a means of making this series more attractive, all 4WD cars will be banned for Season 4. We need to be in a situation where one car is not clearly faster, and that is currently the case. Yes specs can be tinkered with, but I still think it would be the better option to just not run 4WD any more. đź‘Ť

-----------------------

Points and Autumn Ring Grid now up. đź‘Ť

Team V8 Turbo win the Teams' Championship! đź‘Ť
Audi win the Manufacturers' Championship! đź‘Ť

gedi69's lead in the Drivers' Championship is now 18 points over myself, but count me out of the title race as I shall be missing the final round. gedi's lead over skengdigi grows to 19 points.

karsten takes a healthy 20-point lead in the Independents' Championship đź‘Ť:)

Sorry I couldn't race, But I was really badly ill :(
I will try all I can to keep up to date but it has been a few chaotic weeks at work (yes I am working now ;))
 
lol i'm first in indipendents :P like first in the second division :D

i think that with no AWD, adding a bit or weight to the golfs the grid will feel even closer.

@geeky too bad mate!

@all:
so what about a to be endurance serie, how did you guys enjoy the races?

I don't think the Golf needs to be changed, it's just that skeng outdrives the car. He's incredibly quick. đź‘Ť

đź‘Ť If there was an award for the most alonso like driving. You know who'd win it...
 
Yeh no downforce and i usually run as short a gearbox as possible .

Nice car but it requires a lot of effort .

If there is a next season i will probably try a fr car .

Will be tough to beat Gedi with 2 races left but I will still be pushing .

We'll definitely try to put on a fourth season đź‘Ť

More FR cars coming next season of course, with the Lexus IS200, and BMW 120d/120i joining the BMW 330i :)
 
azidahaka
bmw 120i is championship killer
Click to expand...

Really? That's interesting, in my tests it was the slowest of the three BMWs. One to look at I think đź‘Ť

I know I'm not great with FR though, so that will mask its true performance.
 
New to, I miss Jake but overall the coverage is better on Sky, I doubt Brudke is going back either, that wouldn't make any sense!
 
For season 4 I think we need to put something in for people that DC. A percentage of the points are awarded depending on how far they progressed...
