TRD3 Renault Clio Cup Round 5 Hockenheim

[Alfa Fan]

TRD3 Renault Clio Cup makes its long awaited return!

Times due 1st April 2200 BST

Race 1 3 laps
Race 2 3 laps
Race 3 5 laps

Qualifying is 5 minutes per race, and everyone should, as usual, be using the UK Renault Clio Cup car, without upgrades!

As usual I need your qualifying time, race time, and fastest lap for each of the above events. Good luck!

[harvick#1]

remember everyone, its the F1 circuit ;)

[Neil Adams]

wooh-hooh! i love this series

[real_illusions]

remember everyone, its the F1 circuit ;)

yeah..the really old one, and without the chicanes too ;) :p :

[RaikkonenRules]

Finally this is back :bounce:

[johnny shell]

I ran the races last night. I'm putting most of my testing dollars towards FPA and V8, so I basically guessed at a set-up, went out & learned the track, & did the races.

I was finishing last when I was really trying, so I figured I didn't have anything to lose!

plus, I like you guys. I figured if I helped fill the field, & finished last, then that would save one of you all from having to :D

[johnny shell]

I was trying to run the original F1 circuit like we're supposed to, but they had these big walls in the middle of the track. it took me several hits to bust through them to access the proper circuit. but it was worth it!

it was cool. basically just flat foot it & ride around at top speed in a circle for like 5 minutes, then do the twisty part.

I liked the top speed part because it gave me time for a break, as I handed the controls over to my 12 year old for a bit.

hope that with-in the rules.

[Peter Vuko]

Man these cars are fun to drive!! Thought I did pretty well - very consistent times but that J.B. is very quick in these things. Love to win this Rd to put the pressure on him!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Jeez!!!! Times due tonight, time to get cracking!!

[RaikkonenRules]

Think I did quite well. Hope to at least make the podium again. My best was in the 55s.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Can we change set-ups??

I was on 55's with defualt set-up in practice

[Neil Adams]

doh, i've missed the deadline, been busy - obviously!
i havent practiced or anything yet, can i have one attempt at the races and still be included in the results?

[Alfa Fan]

Setup is free btw.

Neil - I have compiled the results - but not yet ready to post them. I will allow you to complete your races :)

[Neil Adams]

[johnny shell]

My first ever Clio Cup podium in Race 3 :) Which I'm very pleased with.

[real_illusions]

3 2nd places...not too bad i guess :p :

I found a nice trick round the 2nd corner that seemed to help a bit..

:)

[johnny shell]

wow Jonathon - that's pretty awesome!

way to go!!!!!

When is the next round at Brands Hatch :bigcry:

[Alfa Fan]

Early July ;)

[harvick#1]

two podiums and a 4th, that was great, and I thought I did bad in these races :D

[RaikkonenRules]

Drat rubish two 7th and an 8th :mad:

Where is the next round. I have to do better there.

[Peter Vuko]

Man! A clean sweep! Way to go! I knew I got the car set up well. I'm not sure what happened to J.B?? Like he said we do "misfire " at times. Well done to Alfa & Shell - showing big improvement & to real on a very consistent performance!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

How did you get into the 53's ?

I'm not a fan of the two right handers in the middle of the circuit.

[real_illusions]

i used the handbrake round the 2nd turn..but i couldn't get into the 53's

But i kept Peter honest (ish) throughout all 3 races.

Quite pleased with the performances.

Doningtons going to be no easy task though

[Neil Adams]

im quite chuffed with those results, considering i turned up to the event at the last minute, was expecting to be last in to all the races tbh

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I'm going all out attack at Donington to redain the lead of the championship :evil:

[johnny shell]

But i kept Peter honest (ish) throughout all 3 races.

well, at least he knows he can't show up at the track drunk :rotflmao:

but you're sure the only one of us who had anything for him!

if not for you he probably could've shown up drunk! :beer:

[real_illusions]

he probably was drunk and still beat all of us :p :

[jso1985]

didn't finish last in all races. goal achieved!
