RoC

[Mad cat jnr]

Is any one interested in a RoC? Probabley on TRD3 or CMR4. It will be with 'nations' cup and a individuals. I choose car and setup.

Joe

[Brown, Jon Brow]

:up:

Damn i'm not a champion :( , it be interesting from a spectators point of view though. :)

[real_illusions]

if its champions only, then there'll be only 3 or 4 people in it :p :

[Mad cat jnr]

Anyone can join Jon, as everyones a champion :D

joe

[harvick#1]

I'm in, has to be TRD3 though I don't have CMR4.

[johnny shell]

I'm in if it's on TRD3

and if Harv will have me as a team mate, we'll do our best to represent Team America!

[Mad cat jnr]

Yeah it will be on TRD3

Heres the entry list(2 drivers Per country):

USA

England

Scotland

Australia

If your nation isnt there, then just add it.

Joe

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I want to represent England but we may need a playoff race to see who should. ;)

[real_illusions]

well...since i wont be able to get the england seat..

can i choose germany? since i've gone there twice, their touring cars are better than ours, and a certain mr schuey comes from there :)

[viper_man]

Whats an roc?

If Ive still got TRD3 Ill sign up, Ill go for Ireland as half of me is from there. Just got to make sure Ive not traded the game in.

[harvick#1]

I'm in if it's on TRD3

and if Harv will have me as a team mate, we'll do our best to represent Team America!


:D :up:

what happened though in the British GT championship, I had to fend off JB, Alfa, Tannat for the championship, but we still took Manufactorer and Driver Titles for the Marcos

[Mad cat jnr]

An ROC is Race of Champions. If there is enough interest i will allow some countries to have 2 teams.

Hey guys, I ran this last year(and the year before!), I though you might like some history...

We played using the WRC games, and last year it was a 2 part event using race and rally, and was won by 306 Cosworth. in 2004 it was won by Mixa using the same format as in the real Roc, on the argentina superspecial.

:)

[nik]

I'll represent the Czech Republic if you want.

What will the series be?

[Mad cat jnr]

Sorry Kimi, toatally forgot you ran one, do want to run this one?

Joe

[Norwegian Blue]

Nah it's fine mate, I always thought it'd be nice to get it going then let other people take over, I'm officially retired now anyways...but I'm tempted to have a go at this as a last harrah! What kind of event is this going to be?

[Mad cat jnr]

Im thinking of using a variety of cars, but not sure which yet, will sort it all out later today.

Joe

[306 Cosworth]

Nice to see you back Kimi! I'll play, but would first like to know the format of it :)

[Norwegian Blue]

Road or rally?

[Mad cat jnr]

I was thinking (and yes it did hurt) that i will split it into two groups if theres enough people. One group race on one track with the cars I name, and the other on a other track. Then the final uses a different track.

As for the nations cup, they are just one group (or maybe two depending on numbers) and they do a knockout style event, with the last two teams using 3 new tracks. Sound as good too you as it did in my head?

More entriesd than i expected

[johnny shell]

cool. me & harvick #1 will do our best to represent the US againt some tough opposition. looking forward to it!

I had to drop out of the British GT championnship for personal reasons. I hope the one time I finished ahead of you, harv, helped you secure that championship though! well done!!!! I had a lot of fun doing those races and I have really enjoyed being back behind the wheel for some of these off-season races.

and, no fear, my skills have remained as, um, sharp as ever! :D

[306 Cosworth]

That date sounds fine to me Joe :up:

[Mad cat jnr]

Good good, here too please everybody..... to a certain extent.

Joe

[Mad cat jnr]

I will hand out details now for the first part as i may not be here tomorrow or saturday.

Individual drivers races' to start. All drivers to race V8's at bathurst, karts at eastern creek and British NGT's at castle coombe.

Setups are to be standard, AI standard, AI level 100% and All flags and warnings ON. And all races to be 4 laps long

Joe

P.s. You have 1 week to complete.

I'd perfer DTM to V8's (I can beat VUko in DTM but he is 4 seconds a lap faster than me in a V8 at Bathurst)

[Mad cat jnr]

I just randomly went through and chose 3, ihave the V8 also. May have the DTM in next round. By the way top 12 go through.

Joe

[306 Cosworth]

Alright how much have BobZee and Peter Vuko payed you?

Race 1: we should've done the MG Rally Team Shield on the UK rally stages 1-2-3
Race 2: European V6 Clios at Surfurs Paradise
Race 3: GT Lights at Laguna Seca

[Mad cat jnr]

Nope definately not homer, your more than welcome. That makes two of us havrick.

[Mixa]

hehe,many Aussie tracks I see.. I race in any track but I hate bathurst because the end is hard and in the middle section you just bounce up to everywhere. Its totally aint my fav and yes I would have liked to DTM´s too. Maybe as the cars could have been DTM,GT(british or tuning car),some rally car,Clio´s,GT Lights or baja buggies. I was just thinking the real RoC and them cars what has been seen on the past and now.

Anyway same for me! will you do run it with real RoC system(2 sides: pairs and other will be eliminated. With 2 wins you go throught but we race 3 times just in case if its 1-1 after 2 runs and then the winner advances and we have national and driver of the drivers competition) or do we just race the tracks and cars you give and then post the times and quickest will win and the team comp. results will be based to points the team gots for results? Its might have been mentioned somewhere but Im too lazy :) .

Anyway looking up to this and good luck for everyone!

[306 Cosworth]

Will do my races this weekend Joe :up:

P.S You managed to nab that tenner yet? ;)

[viper_man]

Well Ive looked, but dont have the damn game. Sorry

[Mad cat jnr]

Sorry to hear that viper man.

Guys, due to Viper mans demise, it means that we can now have 7 pairs, everybody race the races'as above and i will post pairs later today (they will be randomly selected out of hat). As mixa says, it will be best of 3 so if you win 2 of your pairs races your through.

Ill also post other races later.

Joe

[Norwegian Blue]

So when do our times have to be in? :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

What date will this be run on coz i'll be at my GFs from 29th Dec to 2nd Jan?


:erm:

[Mad cat jnr]

Ypur times have to be in next thursday buy 12.00pm (midday-GMT)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I've just managed to find an extra 2 seconds of pace around bathurst in v8's. :D

1 secons through set-up and another with a tweak to my driving style that requires use of the handbrake.

However i'm still over a few second off the tmes that the Aussies can achieve there. :(

[Mad cat jnr]

I did say standard set ups, but to make it fairer on everyone else, except peter, ill allow them.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Oh nut's, missed standard set-up's :(

The rules should be the same for everyone, It's not just Vuko who is quick at Bathurst. I'm just rubbish at V8 supercars in general. There not edgy enough for my liking, I like cars where you can feel the limt of grip.

I'll see what I can do on a standard set-up.

[Mad cat jnr]

Im not stoppin Mr P Vuko, it was just saying it may be easier for others.

Joe

[Peter Vuko]

I'm just about to do my races - could you confirm - is it DEFAULT SETTINGS or FREE SETTINGS ? My personal view is that you should stick to your original/ organiser's default setting because once you start making changes it will cause confusion.

[306 Cosworth]

It's Default Car Settings, so no messing about with any thing

[306 Cosworth]

:erm:

Whats that supposed to mean Jon?

[Mad cat jnr]

Yep default.

[Exhausted]

Ypur times have to be in next thursday buy 12.00pm (midday-GMT)

Well sadly i'm out already as I won't be ably to get my hands on the game before that.

[Mad cat jnr]

Sorry exhausted toatally forgot. Will you be able to take part in the team one which starts just after christmas?
Joe

[Mad cat jnr]

The pairs are (drawn from a hat):

Bobzee V Jon Brown

Jonny Shell V JJ

Mixa V Norweign Blue

R.I. V P Vuko [:S]

Nik V Haverick #1

Cossie V Crutts

And homer automatically through due to the withdrawl of exhausted.

Joe

[harvick#1]

I'm about to do my races, the outlook looks bleek, but I'll give it my best shot.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Some interesting ties.

I expect Bobzee to beat me in the V8's and anything could happen in the Karts :s

[harvick#1]

the Karts are fun to drive, I was extremely consistent in that event, actually all three races, I put done solid laps, but left some out on the track at Bathurst and Castle, because those tracks I'm not very good at

[Speedworx]

Get this track for rfactor and run the Meganes/Porsches/Astons :)

[Exhausted]

Sorry exhausted toatally forgot. Will you be able to take part in the team one which starts just after christmas?
Joe

No problem! Yes I will! :D

[Mad cat jnr]

I havent got rFactor

[Mad cat jnr]

Come on guys, only two sets of times thus far and deadlines on thursday.

[johnny shell]

I'll have my times in on time. I'm just reacquanting myself a bit with the NGT car. I'm using the Vette that I used for the championship earlier this year.

then I need to get the V8 car back up to speed at Bathurst.

already ran the cart race. wasn't too tough since you only brake once I think.

[Mad cat jnr]

Ok thats cool. Brake once? I brake twice :S once into the wiggly bit and once out.

[johnny shell]

well then I must be braking too much going into it since I don't have to brake coming out!

[harvick#1]

I was going balls out through the esses in the Kart :D , no I just barely touched the brakes getting in and going full throttle the rest of the way

Bathurst, I am always digusted with but did ok, and I used a TVR at Castle Combe and did farely good

[Mad cat jnr]

I hate the esses in the kart, always seem to loose time

[johnny shell]

time submitted

I pretty much reached my potential in the kart & V8 car

know I left something on the table in the NGT car though. that castle coombe is a tricky track to get a perfect lap in and I just didn't have enough testing time to nail the race.

we'll see if it's enough to get through to the next round

[Mad cat jnr]

First pair have finished, here are the results:

BobZee beats Jon Brown in V8's
Jon Brown beats BobZee in Karts
Bobzee beats Jon Brown in NGT's

Well done BobZee, you will face homer in round 2!

Joe

[BobZee]

Thanks Mad cat, must have been close, I know JB is a good driver.Homer in the next round, eh? Another "hot" driver ! Lucky me, lol.
Will you be posting the actual times of the first round? Would love to se the margins.

[Mixa]

You will get my times later today as I have more time to post them then. Anyway great to see the RoC going on. Also the way how Mad Cat jnr. post the results looks quite gool :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

First pair have finished, here are the results:

BobZee beats Jon Brown in V8's
Jon Brown beats BobZee in Karts
Bobzee beats Jon Brown in NGT's

Well done BobZee, you will face homer in round 2!

Joe

:bigcry: :bigcry:

Well done Bobzee!!

I'm not suprised that you beat me in the V8's
Anything can happen in the karts.

But I thought I had nailed the British GT! I used the Ultima and on a default setting I was setting times that would have put me in the top 3 at 306cosworth's championship event.

What car did you use there Bobzee?

[BobZee]

Thanks JB. I used the TVR, which i got to really like in Tannat's Spa event. Also, my new Logitech G25 wheel undoubtedly helped ! It is an awesome piece of equipment !
Oh, also commiserations on the Ashes, looking forward to seeing your score card go to 5 - 0 (sorry, couldn't resist) ;)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

What next? :erm:

It will be interesting to see how close the race times were.

[Mad cat jnr]

Bobzee, i will be putting the times up. Thank Mr Brown for the idea :D

Joe

[Norwegian Blue]

Whats the deal with Restarting? I got shunted at the start of the V8s, do i continue(car totally wrecked) or can I start again?

[Mad cat jnr]

Can restart til the end of lap 1. Second Pair finished, and:

Peter Vuko Beat Real Illusions in every race.

Sorry to say R.I but it was kinda inevitable.

Peter Vuko will race either Mixa or Norweign Blue.

Joe

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Peter Vuko will race either Mixa or Norweign Blue.

Joe

That could be a very interesting tie. ;)

[Norwegian Blue]

It'll be Mixa! I am really not set out for track racing...too much sliding, I treat it like a rally car and come totally unstuck!

[real_illusions]

Can restart til the end of lap 1. Second Pair finished, and:

Peter Vuko Beat Real Illusions in every race.

yeah..i dont think i really stood a chance against mr vuko ;)

[Mixa]

Results sended by PM now. As an old competitor of mine,NB will be hard to beat for sure. Its anybodys race!

[Norwegian Blue]

It's yours! Considering you've been winning in track races, whereas I.... have limited experience :D Maybe in the karts i have a slight chance... ;)

[Mad cat jnr]

Well heres the 3rd set of results:

Mixa wins all 3. Sorry NB but you stood no chance after a DNF in the V8's.

So Mixa v P VUko in the next round, and by looking at this rounds times it should be a good 'un.

Joe

[I am evil Homer]

Sending my results in about 30 minutes!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

How does the country championship work?

It's not looking good for Team England based on our pace here. :(

[555-04Q2]

How does the country championship work?

Button would be proud of your pace ;) :p : :D

[Mad cat jnr]

Here are the pairs for the second round, I have included Jon Brown in there as the lack of entries would make it difficult to run and he was quickest qualifier.

BobZee
Homer

P Vuko
Mixa

Haverick #1
Jon Brown

Crutt
Johnny Shell


The cars will be:

V8 MG's around sanddown
Indycars around indionapolis
MG ZR (on all 4 stages)

All races will be 4 laps and NO setups.

Joe

[Brown, Jon Brow]

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!

Have you got times for the last round Madcat jnr?

[Mixa]

hehe,will become a hard one with P.Vuko . MG V8´s is a good class but it makes it even harder as its on Sandown. Indy cars in Indianapolis is anybody´s game and you should be able to drive alone all race long or your done as even with normal setups CPU drivers have some probs in few corners but one good slipstream can take this battle to you so its anyones race. Rallying should also be ok to me as I have driven it quite often. Also its quite tricky so this will truly make a difference. What comes to Vuko dont know has he driven much rallying in ToCa but if I need to quess,I say no :P .

A lot of good drivers are still up and a few will drop out now. Also our ´´lucky loser´´ have good changes to win the whole RoC.

Good luck for everyone! I hope to see good races up on this. MadCat jnr. whats the deadline for submitting times?? Im just thinking as christmas and new year are here soon and if some of these guys are getting new games or even consoles it might drop intrest a little bit more.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

What areV8 MG's ?

[Mad cat jnr]

The big powerful MG things, under GT.

Ill post time later.

Joe

[real_illusions]

i know i'm not officially in it, but i'll have a go and post my times here..

but one problem -

mg zr, all 4 stages..theres only 3 stages.

[harvick#1]

oh no, I'm paired with JB, **** :(

yeah there is only three rally stages in the UK stages.

[Mad cat jnr]

Meant to put 3 but hadnt realised my mistake.

Thanks

Joe

[Mixa]

Any info for the deadline or is it at the end of the week?? Just would be good to know when is the last opportunity to submit them.

I havent done my runs yet but probably soon.. P.Vuko have you done them yet??

[real_illusions]

heres my times as a guideline. i expect everyone to beat them though. i didn't do that much practise either..just to familarise myself with the cars and circuits.

indy cars
fl - 38.16
rt - 2:37.66

v8 mg's
fl - 1:02.70
rt - 4:16.32

rally
stage 1 - 3:15.55
stage 2 - 2:31.99
stage 3 - 3:06.46

[Peter Vuko]

No I haven't done any of the races - I haven't even unlocked the Indycars or rally cars so I might struggle! I will have to try & unlock them in the next few days !! I hope the times are not due in for a while - Xmas & New Year makes it difficult.

[Mad cat jnr]

They will be due by next wednesday. Sorry for the delay been away.

Joe

[I am evil Homer]

Deadline is January 3rd?

[Mad cat jnr]

Yeah thats the one Homer.

Joe

[Peter Vuko]

Just sent in my times for the RoC events. I'll have to concede the rally event to Mixa because I haven't unlocked the cars but I did the MG V8's & the Indy cars. Not real confident about beating Mixa this time but you never know!

[I am evil Homer]

Done my races....the MG ZR's are one of the worst rally sims I've come across, esp whjen you consider this is the exact same car that's been in the last 3 Colin McRae games for the PS2.

The Indycars were great - been playing Nascar 07 recently, so i'm into the Oval racing.

The XPower V8s went well, although I can't say i liked the car much!!

[Mixa]

I will send me times now so soon we will get known will P.Vuko beat me.. I think he will as MG V8´s feeled quite badly(used the stock settings so didnt accepted upgrades) and Indy cars are anybodys game. What comes to rally it didnt feeled too good neither but as Vuko havent driven them too much I think I may have a change.

After christmas when I got the new game Fifa 07 my intrest to Toca was a bit down.

Anyway good luck Vuko! I wish to see a tight battle :)

[Mad cat jnr]

Well mixa, sorry to say you were beaten 2-1, but if it makes you feel better you only lost by less than 0.5 of a second both times.

Joe

[Mad cat jnr]

Jon Brown wins 2-1 against haverick#1, it was also very close

Joe

[harvick#1]

well done JB, Mad Cat can you post the results. I most likely won Indy, but I'd like to see how close it really was. the MG cars were quite fun to drive. and the rally was badass.

[BobZee]

Have completed round 2 of the ROC, and i think that is as far as I will progress.
Hated, Hated, hated the Rally stages, and couldn't get myself to even complete them !!
The Indy race went ok, as did the MG at Sandown, but i think Homer will come out on top.

It would be really interesting to have ALL of the times at the end of the round, Madcat.

[I am evil Homer]

The secret to the MG ZR rally cars, even in 'defualt' settings is don't brake! You need to get the thing moving and then just lift for a few turns - that sharp left by what I think is meant to be Chatsworth House dfrom the old RAC Rally SSS can be taken in second but you really have to line it up.

Easily the worst rally physics i've come across - even WRC2 was slightly more realistic!

I think my downfall could be the MGV8...didn't like that at all.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Pleased to win!! It would be harsh on Bobzee if he goes out when I go through afeter he beat me. (not that I'm complaining :p ) Hopefully I can make it to the final.

I enjoyed all the events in this round, even the rallying. The speed for most corners can be controlled with engine braking unless it's a hairpin or 2nd gear corner. However, Nicky Grists pace notes are often called too late! The physics are inproved if you use pro-sim handling but are still no-where near the same level as Colin Mcrae.

I bet harvick is an oval specilist :p

[johnny shell]

I'll run my races tonight but won't be back on the computer until tomorrow morning bright & early eastern US time.

the Indy cars I'll do good on but the other two are pretty much a joke. I don't know that sand track at all and I suck at rallying. but I'm having fun and maybe I'll squeek through to the next round somehow. like, if my competitior doesn't show up!

[johnny shell]

oh yeah... in the rally cars... when the co-driver says "corner 3" or whatever, what does the "3" mean?

[harvick#1]

1 is the a hairpin or 90 degree turn and 5 is a slight turn,

the numbers are ranked on how hard the turn is, turn 3 is a inbetween and most likely will need to brake alittle bit.

The RoC is just for fun and its truly ok if I am eliminated :) . I knew the opponent will be good and even waited a loss to Sandown race. Also said that Indy cars are anybodys game and one slipstream can pass you a win. Rally cars were probably the only what makes a huge difference.

P.Vuko is a good driver and deserves to go through. For the V8 and DTM battles ´´last year´´ I knew its will be tight but the biggest difference to championship races are the fact you have to pick the right pit strategy and keep lap times consistant.

Yup the last results posting was better where you was able to see where your opponent beaten you :P .

[harvick#1]

I bet harvick is an oval specilist :p

of course I am :dozey: :p :

[Brown, Jon Brow]

oh yeah... in the rally cars... when the co-driver says "corner 3" or whatever, what does the "3" mean?

THe number said is the suggested gear number. So " 3 right" would be a 3rd gear right hander. ;)

On more realistic rally sims thay would say " 100 - 3 right" '100' being the distance to the corner.

Another system is instead of gear number the co-driver say 'easy right'

easy---------6th
medium flat--5th
medium------4th
hard---------3rd
open hairpin--2nd
hairpin-------1st
handbrake----1st+handbrake.

[johnny shell]

damn way to go harv.... you pretty much kick ass in karts!

maybe you should've stuck with the FPA championship

[Brown, Jon Brow]

JB wins V8 MG's
JB wins Indy
Haverick wins Rally.


Looks like Harvick isn't as good at Oval racing as he thinks (and i'm not as good at rally as I think :( )


I fancy my chances against anyone left in the competition (as long as I get Vuko in the Clio's around Bratch :p )

[harvick#1]

I'm good on the short tracks, but the Karts are a sweet drive. but I'm not good with Open Wheel cars, unless they are on an oval.

I'm sure the Indy race was very close, but Toca really made it fake as you can't run those speeds without braking through the corners, the real IRL cars run around 214 average MPH, not 230 :mark:

I knew you had me at Sandown as I not very good on any of the Aussie tracks except for Oran Park, Surfers Park, and Adalaide (sp?) which is 3 out of 5 :mark:

But I played WRC on PS2, I play it on PSP all the time, and GT4 was basically the same rally style like in Toca, so I know my ins and outs of rallying.

[johnny shell]

times submitted. indy was fun, but I don't see how anyone got to do any slip streaming in a 4 lap race with the ai set to 100%!

this was my first experience in rally cars... so... well it was fun anyway.

those v8 MGs... wow. I never thought I would get a handle on those cars around that track. had one hell of a time getting pole and leading the first lap, which I knew was the only way to at least have a chance or winning. I ended up finishing 3rd in the race and was pretty happy with that.

[Mad cat jnr]

Jonny wins 3-0. I did rubbish in all 3.

Joe

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Is that all the races completed? Can we have times please and the detail for the next round? :D Is it the semi-final :s

[johnny shell]

are you "crutt" mad cat jr?

dang, I started racing real cars before you were even born!

oh, real illusions - those were some great times you posted in the MG V8 cars! can't wait to see if anyone was able to beat those...

if someone who's supposed to be still in doesn't submit times, I propose that we let real illusion take their place.

you really think so?

i hardly did any practise..about 2 laps, that was about it. they were easy to drive, but really sluggish and horrible.

dont let me go through, kinda defeats the object of the knock out stage kind of things in the competition ;)

[Mad cat jnr]

Ye im Crutt and how do you know how old I am? Also guys, this will be the final due to lack of time. The cars will be 4x4 rally cross (mitsubushi) on brands hatch, FPA on brandshatch and V8's on symonds.

Joe

[I am evil Homer]

Oh crap...I hate rallycross! V8's i'm happy with....FPA that's the car with the overtake boost?

[johnny shell]

Ye im Crutt and how do you know how old I am?

Joe

I work for the american government joe. it's my job to "know things".

just kidding. your birthday is on your profile page and I couldn't help notice I was playing online games with kids who were born after I graduated high school.

[johnny shell]

yeah homer Formula Palmer Audi is the cars with the boost. we've got a series going with them now.

rally cross, eh? intresting

[Brown, Jon Brow]

The cars will be 4x4 rally cross (mitsubushi) on brands hatch, FPA on brandshatch and V8's on symonds.

Joe

Oh nut's

We've already done V8's! can we do DTM or something please? :( Symmonds Plain is possibly the worst track for my driving style.

FPA at Bratch should be ok for me and if I practice the rally there is no reason why I can't do well.

[johnny shell]

I'm much better at the V8s than I am the DTM cars. so I vote we stick with the V8 cars. :uhoh:

[Mad cat jnr]

I cant change it guys in case some one has already done times :D

[I am evil Homer]

How can you do races when no one has said how long they are!

[Mad cat jnr]

O you guys want everything, all will be 7 laps this time with pitstops.

Joe

[Peter Vuko]

Hope these are not due until next week!! I just came back from Tasmania & have to complete a few races by Friday. So can these be due next Friday 19th Jan. please as I might need time to unlock the the rally event.

[Peter Vuko]

Me again! The details are not very clear! Is it default or free settings?? At the pit stops are you allowed a simple drive through or do you have to take fuel or tyres or both? These things make a huge difference in times!!

[Mad cat jnr]

Yep sorry peter, Must do tyres or fuel(even if its only 1 lap), default settings.

Joe

[Peter Vuko]

When are the times due for the final events? I have only completed one event so far - I have 8 visitors staying & have not been able to get to the steering wheel + I have other events to complete by Friday-the Clio's. Any chance of giving everyone a few days extra?

[johnny shell]

take your time. I haven't done mine either.

[Mad cat jnr]

Might as well scrap it as no ones done em yet.

[harvick#1]

what were the times of the last round

[Mad cat jnr]

Ill put them up tomorrow :D

Joe

[johnny shell]

I'm still planning on running the races and it sounds like Vuko is to.

just waiting for a lull in the schedule for some time to do it.

I did unlock the rallycross cars finally

[Peter Vuko]

Hey Joe can we make the due date Friday 26th Jan? My visitors will be all gone by then. Is this date OK with Homer, J.B & John Shell? It would be a shame to can the event.

[Mad cat jnr]

Ye sure if you guys are still commited :D

Joe

[I am evil Homer]

Yep - but like PV post-xmas has been manic at work and at home, so I need a bit of time to sit down and do the races!

Count me in :)

[Peter Vuko]

Finally got a chance to complete the 3 events. I'm glad they were all Default settings because you did not have to worry about car set up. The pitting in all the events made it interesting - you lost about 20secs if you only took on 1 lap of fuel - no need to take on tyres in any of the events. The V8's went very well & I think my time will be hard to beat. The FAP open wheelers were much slower on Default set up. Set ups make a huge difference on these cars - I could not get near my times from the FAP Rd we had here not long a go, but still I think I did quite well. The Rally could be interesting - they are fun but need a lot of concentration to get good times.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

There is no point for me to do the FPA and V8's because I can't drive them :mad:

I might have a go in the Rallycross because I might do ok in thay ;)


PS any chance of the results for the last round

[johnny shell]

I'll run my races over the weekend. hoping for a podium here. was hoping FPA and maybe rallycross would get it for me because I know I'm REALLY slow in the V8's, where as I'm just regular slow in the FPA cars... and in rally cross I have no idea because I've hardly ever raced on dirt!

[Peter Vuko]

Are all the times in?

[Mad cat jnr]

Nope, only yours Peter :(

[johnny shell]

I was unable to run the races over the weekend as planned. I would like to run them though. I appologize.

[I am evil Homer]

Sorry guys - had to go to the US with work. I will do my races tonight and PM you the times tomorrow!

[johnny shell]

welp, I ran the races last night. I pretty much just got in the car, did a few laps to learn the track, then did the race. so I know I could've done a lot better. but oh well.

I was surprised how fun the rallycross was. I should enter one of the rally championships on here.

and gosh that FPA car is different with standard set-ups!

[Mad cat jnr]

Looks like ive got in all the times i going too.

Here are the overall times :

P. Vuko : 18:38.23
Homer : 19:05.60
J Shell : 19:42.12

Well done to peter, homer and jonny lost it really on the first event, although in V8's Homer got 2 secs back.

Joe

[I am evil Homer]

Stupid rallycross and FPA. Hated them!

[Peter Vuko]

A good win!! I'll take the trophy & add to my collection! Thanks Joe!
