Discussion
Second race of the championship in a Chevrolet Camaro, whose handling was frequently likened to a variety of sea-going vessels. That didn't stop sean_d who is well and truly back with a vengeance and clocked the quickest time by nearly a quarter of a second.
However sean_d isn't in League 1 just yet and there's a battle emerging between Born2BSlow and e300vkb, Born2BSlow just hanging on to the table lead for the moment. Ianb-lincs, VampyrByte and kev7whyte struggling at the bottom.
In League 2 Zask and Maclean power onwards for the promotion slots, Dpb1975, grandadjim and King-Kodiak at the bottom.
In League 3, it's myrdo well out in front and tight between A_Chalk_Outline and Maskmagog. Killjoy Snorlax, Mushypee and Paicey propping things up.
League 4, sean_d obviously well clear with FTR mov a solid second.
In the handicapped championship, it's oldmodelt just ahead of Weeble2015, but things can change rapidly in that one.
The Ballast Championship is nicely mixed up this time round with MacLean just ahead of SniperAsh6, inthebagbud and pmjg66.
In the Team Championship, the off roaders take the win meaning it's level pegging overall with The Brake Dancers.
Next Race is our Rally Special at Dirtfish. Please double check that you're doing the correct course becuase the UDP feed does not differentiate between the variations and therefore neither does PCLapUpdater.

Race Report from Dirtfish at the halfway point in the championship. An interesting combo leading to a virtual worldwide shortage of Honda Civic bumpers and bonnets. And it's Hasslemoff who turns out to be the Powerslide King, with a remarkable lap count, started 152 laps, only finished 8 of them, but one of them was nigh-on perfect.
As it's the halfway point we have our no-show clearout, which means:-
League 1: Relegated-kev7whyte
League 2: Promoted-Zask, Relegated-King-Kodiak
League 3: Promoted-myrdo and Maskmagog
League 4: Promoted-FTR_mov and sean_d
So where does that leave us, well, League 1 is really tight with a single point separating Born2BSlow, Hasslemoff and e300vkb. At the bottom it's not looking good for Ianb-lincs and VampyrByte.
League 2 has pmjg66 out in front and level pegging for the final slot is MacLean and myrdo. grandadjim suffering at the bottom, tight for the other place but currently it's tuomijr.
League 3, newly promoted sean_d and FTR_mov straight into the top spots, and again very tight at the bottom, anyone of about 5 or 6 drivers could go down.
League 4, after the promotions that leaves edgeofgrip and PH_Racing43 in the top spots with Danny102 chasing.
In the Handicapped Championship oldmodelt stays in front but gets no points this time round, edgeofgrip gets his first points with the win.
Over to the Ballast Championship, which after an odd number races favours the faster drivers, and it's e300vkb from Speckle and sean_d
In the Team Championship, The Brake Dancers take the win and the championship lead outright from the off roaders!
Next Race is Ruapuna Park in a BMW 1 series, I've had a go and it's a bugger, so good luck all.

Race Report from Brands Hatch.
I seem to say this a lot recently, but there was a record turnout with 43 drivers taking part, clocking in over 3,000 laps. Jabbah in particular puts himself well into contention for the "Might be getting a bit obsessed" award with over 400 laps.
sean_d is made to work a bit harder than usual by Zask who pushed him hard, but sean_d still claims first place.
However, sean_d is not quite back in League 1 yet, so it's Zask who takes any early lead, followed by e300vkb and Born2BSlow but there's only just over 0.1 sec between the top 4.
In League 2, it's sean_d ahead of Maclean, it's already looking like it's going to be a close fight for the 2nd promotion slot.
In League 3, it's PH_Racing43 well clear of tuomijr who claims 2nd, with only 0.02 sec separating nd from 4th.
In League 4, it's Jabbah from Rakanishu2199. We're getting close to opening up a League 5 here, so if you're in League 4 try and keep in the top 10 to avoid the drop.
In the handicapped championship it's Genetix604 from oldmodelt and molineux1980.
In the team championship it's the off roaders! who take 1 st place but the big news is that the Brake Dancers have slumped with a no-show from team captain Speckle leaving The Bandicoots to take 2nd.
So well done all, phenomenal effort by everyone, and now it's off to the Red Bull Ring in a relatively dinky Mercedes.

Race Report from Red Bull Ring in a Merc A45. 43 people turned up to try and get that little Merc around the course in a reasonable time, and it's normal service with the unbeatable sean_d taking the win.
In League 1, Born2BSlow goes up 2 places and takes the League lead from e300vkb. However with Speckle on a break and going down on no-show rules, sean_d will be coming up and he'll leap straight to the top. Down at the bottom, it's Teamsreth and inthebagbud in the relegation zone.
In League 2, sean_d and FTR mov continue to dominate, the bottom however is going to be tight, there's 7 of us in a 5 point range.
In League 3, Killjoy Snorlax and tuomijr are at the top, at the bottom it's looking like grandadjim going down under no-show, leaving Matt S and 2609stevell in the zone.
In League 4, Jabbah well clear, Danny and Rakanishu2199 chasing.
In the Handicapped Championship, jab1362 wins, and it's oldmodelt from Killjoy Snorlax and RossinHD overall.
In the newly created Knockout Competition we are down to the last 16, Dpb1975, Rakanishu2199, Twistygit, Maskmagog, sean_d, dibs, 2609stevell, Hasslemoff, inthebagbud, SniperAsh6, pmjg66, Djbuzz07, e300kb, myrdo, Jabbah, Born2BSlow.
In the Ballast Championship, it's FTR mov from Danny.
In the Team Championship the off roaders! are well clear of The Bandicoots.

Race Report from Oschersleben.
First of all quick run through the league changes because of no-shows:-
League 1 : Speckle down
League 2 : sean_d up
League 3 : PH_Racing43 up, grandadjim down
League 4 : Jabbah and Rakanishu2199 up
So that has restored the world order and sean_d is back in League 1 and straight in at the top, e300vkb and Born2BSlow following. Down at the bottom, a no-show from Teamsreth sends him to the bottom of the league and then tight betweeen myrdo, Djbuzz07 and inthebagbud for the other slot.
In League 2, VampyrByte wins to close the gap to FTR mov. At the bottom, Dpb1975 in trouble and could be joined by any of Mr Stoopid, Twistygit, Ianb-lincs, SniperAsh6 or MacLean.
In League 3, it's newly promoted Jabbah and Rakanishu2199 straight to the top, Matt S and 2609stevell struggling at the bottom.
In League 4, the no-show re-shuffle leaves Danny and dibs at the top.
In the Knockout competition, we now have the quarter-final lineup, Rakanishu2199 vs Maskmagog, sean_d vs Hasslemoff (tie of the round), SniperAsh6 vs Djbuzz07 and e300vkb bs Born2BSlow (another top tie).
In the Handicapped Championship, RossinHD takes the win and is the new leader.
Ballast Championship is skewed as it's an odd number of races but sean_d wins and takes the lead.
In the Team Championship, the off roaders! continue to make hay whilst The Brake Dancers are having a sabbatical, and Fast(ish) n Loud make ground on The Bandicoots in second.
Next race is at Silverstone in a Porsche.

Race Report from Silverstone.
There's no denying a lot of us struggled with the Porsche, but a special shout out to Rakanishu2199 who started 642 laps trying to get the hang of it. 42 drivers took part and 1673 laps were completed, so thank you all for playing along.
sean_d wins again with his 6th victory in a row. In League 1 that leaves him well out in front, with e300vkb and Hasslemoff in 2nd and 3rd. inthebagbud and Teamsreth in the relegation zone.
In League 2, FTR mov is well clear and VampyrByte fairly secure in 2nd. MacLean and Dpb1975 in the relegation zone.
In League 3, Jabbah and Rakanishu2199 also well clear in the promotion slots, Matt S and 2609stevell in the relegation zone.
In League 4, it's Danny from dibs, but a strong start from new joiners NoisyGriff and Chris. There may be an extra promotion slot in this league, if Maclean continues to no-show.
In the Handicapped Championship Matt S takes the victory but its RossinHD well out in the lead.
In the Ballast Championship, FTR mov takes the win and the overall lead.
In the Team Championship, the off roaders! win again and are looking at a clean sweep of victories for this championship. Level between Fast(ish) n Loud and The Bandicoots for 2nd.
In the Knockout Cup, we have 'huge' news where there's been 2 giant-killings. Hasslemoff takes out sean_d, despite statistically only having a 12% chance of winning, the randomiser picked a lap that was 0.06 secs quicker than sean_d's (no involvement from me, it's all automated). And SniperAsh6 takes out Djbuzz07 despite only having a 5% chance of winning.
So that means the semi-finals look like:- Rakanishu2199 vs Hasslemoff, SniperAsh6 vs e300vkb.
I think that's all I've got to say, so onwards and forwards to Sakitto in a Ligier.

Race Report from Sakitto. 43 drivers took part with the Ligier being a hell of a lot easier to drive than last week's Porsche, Jabbah certainly liked it, starting nearly 500 laps. In the end though Jabbah's efforts nearly brought him the win until sean_d turned up and set yet another incredible time, 0.7 secs ahead.
So, League 1, sean_d is 5 for 5, and e300vkb had a relatively bad day at the races allowing Hasslemoff and Born2BSlow to catch up a bit for 2nd. inthebagbud and Teamsreth well settled in the relegation zone.
League 2, FTR mov well out in front, but 2nd place still up for grabs between Twistygi and VampyrByte with an outside chance for Maskmagog. Relegation looking likely for Dpb1975 and MacLean.
League 3, Jabbah and Rakanishu2199 now guaranteed promotion, 2609stevell definitely relegated, Matt S fighting with Paicey to avoid the other slot.
League 4, dibs and Danny are up, potentially Genetix604 could join them if MacLean goes down under 'no-show'
Handicapped championship sees Empty_Space77 with the win, but RossinHD has done enough and nobody can catch him now.
Ballast Championship, sean_d takes the win, it's an odd amount of races at the moment so the table is skewed.
Team championship, and it's the the off roaders! again with 5 out of 5, The Bandicoots sneak ahead of Fast(ish) n Loud for 2nd place.
Knockout, the semis went with form and we have our finalists, it's Hasslemoff vs e300vkb in the cup final. Congratulations to SniperAsh6 and Rakanishu2199 for making it this far.
Last race of the season is a BMW 2002 Turbo at Cadwell Park - Woodland, don't forget to log a time if you want to be in the cup competition for next season.

Back from my hols now so we can have a Race Report from Monaco. With my predilection for hitting barriers this was not a personal favourite and I must have written off about 50 Honda NSXs.
League 1. After last week's relative disaster sean_d is back to his best and wins by a clear second from e300vkb. It's going to be tight for the championship, if it carries on being sean_d followed by e300vkb for the last 2 races, then by my maths, sean_d would win it by virtue of result countback. myrdo and Twistygit in the relegation zone.
League 2. Jabbah miles ahead of the rest of us, VampyrByte sitting in second. Myself and PH_Racing43 looking doomed in the relegation zone.
League 3. Speckle well in the lead, A_Chalk_Outline currently in 2nd but literally any one of 7 could challenge. Dpb1975 and NoisyGriff in the relegation zone.
League 4. Flagnag winning, kev7whyte and Genetix604 fighting for 2nd. Empty_Space77 and molineux1980 in the relegation zone with 2609stevell also in trouble down there.
League 5. SJD_Prime and Boneyard78 looking good for promotion.
In the Handicapped Championship Boneyard78 takes the win and closes the gap to jab1362.
In the Ballast Championship, Speckle wins but it's sean_d well out in front.
In the Team Championship, the off roaders! miles ahead from The Bandicoots and Fast(ish) n Loud.
In the Knockout Cup, there was a result that went against the odds and that was Born2BSlow beating Jabbah, despite Jabbah being 93% odds on. So that gives us our semi-finals, arguably our best 2 drivers are aginst each other, sean_d vs e300vkb, and FTR mov vs Born2BSlow in the other one.
Next race is Spa in a BMW V12 LMR.

First race report for a while, been a bit swamped at work. There's a lot of no-shows so there's been a lot of league changes to fill the gaps. So we had Watkins Glen (cannot get the hang of that chicaney bit in the middle) in a "for God's sake don't touch the kerb" Radical. Quick shout out to Flagnag who started nearly 350 laps on this combo.
We had our usual top 3 jostling for position, and this week it was sean_d from e300vkb and then Jabbah. In League 1 that puts sean_d top and in the relegation zone we have inthebagbud and VampyrByte.
In League 2, Speckle and Flagnag are well out in front, tuomijr and Rakanishu2199 at the bottom (Rakanishu2199 having to call in his wife as a substitute to avoid the no-show drop, and in the process recording the first ever lap by a female on this site)
In League 3, RossinHD and Rob are in the lead, molineux1980, roist510 and PH_Racing43 in the danger area.
In League 4, torquenstein666 and Sylver in the promotion slots.
In the knockout competition, Jabbah beats e300vkb, and we're down to our final 8, Jabbah v Djbuzz07, SniperAsh6 v Zask, RossinHD v Maskmagog, Matt S v sean_d (good luck Matt!)
In the handicapped championship, Sylver takes the win, but it's Twistygit in the overall lead.
In the Ballast chmapionship, Zask takes the win and sean_d winning overall.
Team Championship and it's the off roaders! just sweeping all before them, Fast(ish) n Loud and The Bandicoots fighting over 2nd.
Next race is at Rouen Les Essarts and we go back to the 80's in a Ford Capri.

Next race is at Rouen Les Essarts and we go back to the 80's in a Ford Capri.
Race Report from Rouen les Essarts. Well I didn't get on with that Ford Capri Turbo, but I was in the minority, with a lot of love being shown for the high revving lunatic widow-maker.
The difficulty of the combo was show by the fact that over 1400 laps were started but we only made it to the end of the lap in about 350 of them and also only one person managed to string 6 consecutive laps together without hitting the restart button.
So how did everyone do:-
League 1. sean_d manages an unbelievable lap to take the win by nearly a second from e300vkb and then Jabbah. Down at the bottom Vampyrbyte looks like he's given up and Speckle fails to log a lap, putting him in the relegation zone as well.
League 2. Rakanishu2199 makes a triumphant return to take the win and try and haul himself out of the relegation zone. At the top it's Flagnag from Maskmagog and at the bottom we have Rakanishu2199 and tuomijr.
League 3. Rob takes his 3rd win on the bounce and well clear from dibs in second, but it's going to be tight for second with lots of people making up ground. At the bottom it's torquenstein666 and PH_Racing43.
League 4. Sylver and jab1362 tied for first with Shoeshear catching quick after 2 wins on the trot.
In the Handicapped Championship, sean_d takes the win, this is very unusual which shows how much he out-performed himself for this race.
In the Ballast Championship, inthebagbud wins but again, it's sean_d in the overall lead.
In the Team Championship, the off roaders! take the win by a country mile, nearly 14 seconds.
In the Knockout Championship, Jabbah beats Djbuzz07, Zask beats SniperAsh6, Maskmagog beats RossinHD, and sean_d beats Matt S, with the semi-final draw being Jabbah vs Zask and Maskmagog vs sean_d.
And now we're off to the 5th Round of the Championship, an Audi R18 at Imola.

And now we're off to the 5th Round of the Championship, an Audi R18 at Imola.
Race report from Imola in a Audi R18 e-tron quattro. Interesting car with lots of downforce and a lot of conversation around the best way to harvest brake energy from the circuit, and a lot of good drivers struggled with it.
League 1. Well it's the usual top 3. sean_d wins it, this time we have Jabbah ahead of e300vkb setting up a nice final round battle for overall 2nd. In the relegation zone, Vampyrbyte has left the building and is down, and Speckle will have to pull something extraordinary out of the bag to get ahead of pmjg66.
League 2. Rakanishu continues his triumphant return, but it's Flagnag still out in front and A_Chalk_Outline moves into 2nd from Maskmagog. Relegation battle, tuomijr down, and it's RossinHD and Twistygit level pegging with one race left.
League 3. Rob makes it 4 wins on the bounce, definitely promoted, dibs looking good for 2nd and Paicey could also go up if VampyrByte continues to no-show. Down at the bottom, PH_Racing43 pulls out a great result to lift himself clear of roist510 and torquenstein666.
League 4. jam_my21 wins this week and it's Sylver and jab1362 in the promotion slots. Potentially 2 extra promotion slots could be available due to no-shows.
In the Knockout Cup, there were no surprises, with Jabbah beating Zask and sean_d beating Maskmagog, setting up the final of Jabbah vs sean_d.
In the Handicapped Championship, Rakanishu2199 wins, but it's still sean_d out in front, still not quite sure how this has happened, the only conclusion I can come to is the bugger is actually getting quicker.
In the Ballast Championship, jam_my21 takes the win, it's again sean_d in the lead overall, but he's taking ballast into the next race so we'll see.
In the Team Championship, the off roaders! are killing it with 5 races from 5. Enjoy it while it lasts boys, because you've managed to pick a dream team and are unbeatable, so at the end of this championship the teams are going to be disbanded and you're going to have to pick new team members.
Next race is Nurburgring in a Ferrari F40 LM.

Race Update after Bathurst in a Renault Sport R.S. 01.
Mid-Championship no-shows means SniperAsh6 is relegated from League 3 and NeilPearlJam promoted in his stead.
League 1. sean_d makes it 3 from 3, just pipping Jabbah to the win. That leaves him well out in front overall, followed by e300vkb although Jabbah makes up some ground. Down the bottom, A_Chalk_Outline struggling with Flagnag, alhtough surprisingly Born2BSlow with his pedal issues is also flirting with danger.
League 2. Rakanishu2199 wins with pmjg66 second, and they're building a healthy lead from Rob in 3rd. Down at the bottom myself and Paicey have had it.
League 3. Newly promoted NeilPearlJam is straight into the lead of the league, Matt S 2nd with Dpb1975 and Shoeshear close behind. Boneyard78 going down, and tight between molineux1980 and jab1362 for the other slot.
League 4. Very tight at the top between TrigL, tuomijr and jam_my21.
We're up to the Quarter-Finals in the knockout with the survivors being e300vkb, Rakanishu2199, Djbuzz07, Flagnag (lucky win against FTR mov), Twistygit, me, Jabbah and sean_d.
In the Handicapped Championship it's Genetix604 from oldmodelt and chmashdejare.
In the Ballast Championship it's sean_d from e300vkb and Speckle although it's an odd number of races so it will all change after the next one.
In the Team Championship it's the off roaders! from Fast(ish) n Loud and The Brake Dancers.
I think that's my lot, see you at Circuit of the Americas GP in a Ford GT LM GTE.

League 3, NeilPearlJam, 4 from 4, well out in front, tight between Dpb1975 and Matt S for 2nd. Boneyard78 going down with PH_Racing43, molineux1980 and jab1362 trying to avoid the other relegation slot.

Race Report from Road America in a McLaren F1 GTR Long Tail. We've had worse handling cars and trickier tracks, but this combo was just so difficult to get right, leading to roughly 9 out of 10 laps being abandoned via the restart button.
League 1. It's sean_d, with 5 wins out of 5, e300vkb cements his place in second from Jabbah. Flagnag and A_Chalk_Outline heading back to the warmer climes of League 2.
League 2. pmjg66 well clear and mathematically secured promotion. Rakanishu2199 opens up a bit of breathing space from Rob for the other slot. Paicey and myself don't like it in League 2 and are going down to League 3 where we'll be appreciated.
League 3. Shoeshear is the quickest this week, but it's NeilPearlJam mathematically promoted and Dpb1975 clear for 2nd. It's 2 from 3 between PH_Racing43, jab1362 and Boneyard78 but with it looking like PH_Racing43 and Boneyard78 have stopped playing, jab1362 could pull himself out of the relegation zone.
League 4. Bit complicated here, jam_my21 is well clear but has requested not to be promoted. So that leaves TrigL and tuomijr to go up.
