Midfield Raceway
Deadline has passed
​

Results:

Drivers Championship:

The third race of the BTCup has now ended.
As expected we saw the same kind of results as the similar Fuji.
So similar that the top 6 were in the exact same order.
With similar differences in times aswell.



Typhoon Racing
Yet again Typhoon Racing placed some amazing times which seemed unbeatable! Grabbing both 1st & 2nd for the third outing in a row. With one race still to go Hal has already won the Drivers Championship! What a performance, Never even dropping a point! 2nd could still be snatched away from Sal thought.

Infinity
The team that has 2 drivers fighting for 2nd/3rd place in the drivers championship had yet another great showing. Were pipped to 3rd thought due to lack of time on the track. Could this see the team dropping behind in the championship? We'll have to see.

Nihon Racing
Ken Nomumura had yet another good showing in his powerful Supra.
Sneaking into 3rd to claim his 2nd podium of the season. Which put him in contention for 3rd in the Championship.
After a few poor races Keiichi Tsuchiya didnt even post a time in his dissapointing S2000. After running a few laps in the low 1'1x's he decided he was too far off the pace in such an unrewarding car that he didnt bother.

HPA Motorsports
Again placing a solid 6th place. I've personally tried running this car & its surprisingly slow in my hands. He could be a surprise in the next race as the 4wd should be good for great acceleration which is a must on Autumn Ring

Toyo Racing
Both cars scored points in this race. The HPA put in a respectable time when considering the tires its on. If the RX7 is on the same tires then both could be alot higher with better tires. Could be interesting to see them on Spec Tires next season.


The next race in the BTC's schedule will take place on Autumn Ring.

Hey everyone, Could you please vote in the poll for next seasons BTCup.
Wondering if you all like the Budget or if you'd like it changing?
Maybe you want it increased so you can tune more expensive cars or fully tune cheaper cars.
Maybe you want it lowering?
Whatever your choice let me know =]


*Edit* I just stupidly forgot that I missed off an "other" amount so you could type it in. So if you want it increasing but the amount isnt listed just type it =] Sorry guys

Found very little time to run this tonight.
times sent

Thats everyones times in then. Should I reveal them now or keep you all waiting in huge suspense haha, I'll get started on it now.
Also thanks all for voting. 4 out of 5 want the budget upping next season.
Should we try out 150 as 2 voted for that or go for the middle of 200?

I voted a little more money for the car and parts. But maybe you could keep it a 100K and add a spec tire.

Thats an awesome idea STI.
Someone thats not even in the races has voted aswell.
3 have voted that they want 150k as the new budget.
I may combine the 150k (seeing as its popular) & STI's idea (may make things closer)
Then maybe next season STI might get beat once in a while
By the way for next season would everyone be ok with producing just 2 cars? Cause then we could have a Drivers Champ aswell as a Constructors Champ

Results & updated Champ table are up.

Talking of podium finishers. Who is going to get 3rd in the drivers champ.
It looks like its a battle between our Supras. They are currently tied.
Although my Supra doesnt have good low speed traction & on this track thats a major problem. I can see it coming behind my 7 this race.

Also would STI please slow down next season? lol

 

[DC9990]

I have added the Autumn ring thread.
I totally forgot until STI told me I hadn't made one.
The link is in the usual place.
Good luck to everyone in the last race of the season.

I've given up on trying to get 3rd.
My times seems rather crap. 1'14.xxx
Thats in both my 7 & Supra.. 7 being faster.
So I cant take 3rd in the championship.
Theres always next year though =]
