boy I bet there's more than one driver who rear ends a slow AI car this weekend!

it's like racing through traffic on public roads. I love it!

[tannat]

Times due tonight, guys....

[johnny shell]

q: 1:50.70

I was ok with my Q time, but race pace was off and I'm pretty sure I should have made one more stop than I did! let's just put it that way. had to drive last 1/3 of a lap on 3 tires and 1 rim :(

[tannat]

It may just be you and I at this round Johnny.

I've heard nothing from anyone else, although with the dropped score format they are not obligated to attend...

[johnny shell]

oh great. my best chance to win a round this year & I probably blew it! literally! blew the tire!

[tannat]

I'm allowing until tonight to receive submissions.

Sorry to hear about the blow out, JS. You deserve a win :up:

[johnny shell]

as do you!

[Peter Vuko]

Sorry but Im going to sit this one out..I've been away at the F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne..won't get a chance to do a run.......thanks to Tannat for organising the series.

1. JShell.....C5R........1:50.70
2. Tannat....C5R.........DNQ


Sorry Johnny-I jumped right in. Had to do it fast before school/work

[tannat]

At a poorly attended Spa race, J Shell takes the victory in his Corvette C5R, despite blowing a tire during the race. Fighting a recalcitrant Corvette Tannat takes his C5R to a season best second place :D


1.....JShell......C5R......30:10.47.......1:52.75
2.....Tannat.....C5R......31:17.04.......1:59.04

Johnny-you could do me a big favor and let me know your worst points finish this year.

Points from round 8 will be the final points except a drop score for you and 8 points for my Category 1 entry.....

[johnny shell]

and it's the first American 1-2 in world sports car racing since Foyt and Gurney did it!

a 6th is my worst - 3 points.

and I think your CT2 points should also count towards your CT1 season total tannat. there's no reason you shouldn't get CT1 points as well as CT2 points when you were in the Ultima.

That's a bit of a cheat as CT2 cars are faster than CT1..

and I don't want to botch the championship standings as they are.

So for you I'll add 7 (10 for this win dropping your worst (3))
