[BobZee]

I am in !!

BobZee - Falcon - #12 - BOC team - Australia

Negotiations are underway to coax MUZ out of semi-retirement to join the team again this season in the #21 car, but the rumour is that he has also been approached by an unnamed Japanese works team to ride their bike !
This could come down to $$$$$$$'s ;)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Jonathan Brown
Ford
Stone Brothers Racing
#10
GBR

Can we not have the top 10 from last years standings be numbered 1-10?

E.g P.Vuko=#1-------Bobzee=#2

[real_illusions]

why not have everyone have their number as their finishing position?

1. Peter Vuko (Holden) 2125pts
2. BobZee (Ford) 2019pts
3. Steven Vuko (Holden) 1948pts
4. real_illusions(Holden) 1868pts

Was last years ch'ship standings.

And i'm definatly in.

But, I'd like to have number 666 instead of 4 on my car :p :

I'll be driving a Holden, not sure which one from the game yet, but it'll be under "mobile chicane racing" name for the purpose of the forum's ch'ship.

And another request which i have pm'ed peter about:

Replace silverstone with Donington!!

And how can laguna seca be the first internation round when silverstone (hopefully donington) is round 3, and laguna seca is round 4???

:)

[I am evil Homer]

Agree on the numbers - have it follow on from last season :)

After much deliberation i'm changing to Ford for the upcoming season - The Rick Kelly affair has soured my love for all thing HSV realated.

Geoff
Ford
FPR (Brighty's car :D )

[RALLY TEAM GB]

do we have to use a team from the actual V8 series, or can we have our own team name?

[real_illusions]

pretty much everyone uses the team name from the game, so we all have different cars.

I have technical problem with my PC. I have finally get back my mother board from service, but it was too expensive and i have only 256Mb RAM. Game works (I dont know how? Minimum requirment is 512), but bigest tracks, like Adelaide, Spa and Surfers is verry difficult to drive. I hope I'll find the sponsor :)

[harvick#1]

just a track I have loads of trouble with, same with Bathurst. for Some reason, I can't get a clean rythem at those tracks

I decided to add one more Rd to the series because of real_illusions' request. I have done this because of all the good work he does on his special website. Donnington will host Rd 12 - the second last Rd of the series.

just to let people know..im using my real name-steve spackman- as for me to use rally team gb for aussie v8s would be a bit strange

woohoo!

thanks mate ;)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

As the current entry list stands I'm aiming for a top 5 championship finish. I think my only chance of a win will be at Surfers ( if I don't crash out of the race this time :rolleyes: ), but I will be looking for a podium at the UK events. However that might be decreased if the likes of Muz and Mixa turn up. This is how I expect it to turn out.(as things stand)

1) Peter Vuko
2) Adam Sloma
3) Bobzee
4) Homer
5) between maybe me, RR, R69 and Vuko jnr(depending on how many rounds he does ;) )

Is their any chance of a FPA style commentry on the rounds Peter? Maybe we could pay RaikkonnenRules-TV to do the coverage. :laugh:

[SanjayKumar]

I'm looking forward to this.

[Peter Vuko]

Good to see so many new faces in this years series. Let's see if we can ALL COMMIT ourselves to the full series!! There will be NO worst Rds deducted this time - so turning up to each event will be vital if you have title aspirations! The field has a real look of quality & I think we will see many different winners over the 13 Rds. Peter Vuko as last year's winner will start favourite but in an interview this week he said, " I think I have a good chance but I really think the driver at the moment who is breaking a lot of records lately is my son, Steven Vuko or more commonly known as Vuko Jnr. He is consistently faster than me at the moment but he needs to make sure he races all the Rds. Its getting to the point where I won't be giving him help with set ups!! The pole Adam Sloma will be very quick & the big surprise packet could be BobZee, who came 2nd last series. That experience will make him hard to beat!"
More entries are welcome - it would be great to get 20 entries!! Cheers everyone - details for Rd 1 go up Thursday!

For reference, would everyone state if they are using a manual or automatic gearbox?

And if anyone is interested in really comparing testing notes (setups and sector times) drop me a PM...

[Peter Vuko]

Hey racer69, I saw that you put your name in for a V8 series on that other forum called "ten tenths "or something like that?? I think its folded. How about posting a thread telling them about our V8 series - the more the better!!

I'm racing in a V8 series on batracer, I'll try to get some of them to enter.

Ok then RRTV is up for the coverage, now there's the slight matter of the payment. ;)

[real_illusions]

we'll pay you the total of £5million. At a rate of £1 a year for 5 million years..but we'll pay you in milk bottle tops, since each are worth at about 10p, you'll have to wait 10 years to get 1 full milk bottle top ;)
