Lol. "incensed" sounds like an understatement.A difficult start for Gary Slater in FP1 sitting down in 24th. Ecurie Ecosse were able to change the Scot's fortunes around later in the day as he snuck into the top 10 in FP2 and grabbing his best qualifying result since preseason to start in the top 3.
Slater commented, "Practice 1 was just awful, we couldn't get hooked up and the car just wasn't working the way we wanted. Luckily the guys were able to sort the niggles and we bagged 7th in FP2. I'm really pleased with starting 3rd from qualifying, but we're starting behind an incensed Evangeline who's still seething from Surfer's, so we'll need to be careful in the opening laps."
SENPAI NOTICED MEEE!!!For once this season, we did it. We came home with a good finish. This YouTube Chevy has been struggling throughout this Season and all the Pre-Season testing. Now we finally have a result that shows we're capable of getting a Podium, or maybe even a win at some point!
We broke her... Again.SENPAI NOTICED MEEE!!!
VRR has issued an ultimatum to the officials controlling the Surfer's Paradise Street Circuit; Restore the old layout or lose the event. A recent round of negotiations have apparently failed between the two parties, with VRR revealing that there have been lucrative offers sent from Queensland Raceway, Calder Park for a possible double event with it's road course as well as the oval, Barbagallo, and Phillip Island. Offers from Shanghai, who have emerged as candidates for a 2018 race, as well as Pukekohe and Teretonga were also announced as having been received shortly before the season started. VRR has openly stated that if Surfer's don't comply to their requests, they will move away. These requests include a transfer of organization from local officials to VRR officials, slowing the pace speed and pit lane speed to 37 mph/50 kph, and updating the medical facility. Surfer's has until April 1st to accept.
Also, hoping someone picks up the factory thing for Ford soon so the factory team owners can set the engine specs.
I would, but that would require me setting up two separate things which is simply too much to do for 26-30 races a year.I would, but the series filled up when the thread fell out of my notifications a while back. Maybe allow a couple more rides and have knockout qualifying?
I have no input on Surfers... Bah. I actually don't believe I've seen a race at any of those venues, except maybe Shanghai, so I wouldn't mind the fresh scenery.VRR has issued an ultimatum to the officials controlling the Surfer's Paradise Street Circuit; Restore the old layout or lose the event.

Guess it's a good thing that the guy you signed with for the 2017 Indy 500 is very interested. @Whitetail would you mind running a Ford?I would, but the series filled up when the thread fell out of my notifications a while back. Maybe allow a couple more rides and have knockout qualifying?
I have nothing against Ford. If you could go through the trouble to send me a template with livery requirements I'd appreciate it very much, if it's even available at this time. 👍@Whitetail would you mind running a Ford?
I believe your team gets added to the livery conversation this Sunday. I've done it in tiers based on which teams were factory teams and then which teams seemed more active.I have nothing against Ford. If you could go through the trouble to send me a template with livery requirements I'd appreciate it very much, if it's even available at this time. 👍
