The only problem flip is some may not have the car and at the last min we screwed.

My reasoning for 4 cars and 4 tracks from each member could work as everyone posts the cars and we can all shout if we don't have one (then either supply it or change the car).

I would then draw from the hat one car and a track from the 2nd hat and that's our combo

Means some choices would not get picked but would make it totally random


As for damage it will NEVER not be on full whilst there is air in my lungs for a champ round

I quite like the idea of the "quali" race being in the same car, Clio trophy and then pick the car (track picked 1st)

You are both gay like chuck Norris.

I though we ran the clios ages ago as a test event, or was that the trophy?? Ignore me if I'm wrong but ill blame my medication which is messing my memory.

Yeah I did notice that flip but I was only missing one (mazda) but have bought a few spares!

Bought a car today. Not quite what I had in mind but it was mint and will do me for now (actually when I can drive again!)

It's a mx5 sport with hard top, typhoon induction kit (sounds bonkers) and an exhaust (which is really quiet compared to the induction bark). It's only got circa 150 ponies but seems to go well enough and all the mechanicals are tight as a drum. Already looked at a supercharger for it hehe

Mate and Mrs drove it for me but am pretty happy with it for now. Ill get a pic up later.

Rex your lotus looks a handful to say the least at Spa!! Mind you by the white stuff on the outside and wet on track I'm not surprised.

Hope you don't mind me sharing with the boys

Anyone used the optrix app? It's ace. It records like a go pro but adds lap data too.

The official mounts etc are £80 or so but this gives widefiliming angel. I'm holding off on that at mo and just use an existing mount.

App is 6.99 or there are free versions but without GPS data well worth a look

Was hoping to jump on tonight but I've been a douche and had a fall. Nothing further broken but am dam sore. My own fault, fell over crutches (they were against the wall in the kitchen) and got my good foot....

See how I am for next week - is this the last round?
