Norbs Flip Ian and Evo, unless I'm mistaken I don't see anyone has picked a team colour, I've gone for yellow does that suit all?

Yes you did miss it but you've managed to pick the correct colour smile

So what do you all think of Wednesdays race, are we the division one of the championships or was it just a bad night?

I bet CJ is currently wetting himself after their team's overall win on Wednesday.

It was pretty even. If you took away their fastest guy, then it would have been a very different story so being without our secret weapon hurt us a lot. It was a shame that the cars were from the recommended list, as we couldn't add the ballast for race 2... I reckon I would have had a better chance if F1 had an extra 150kg on board, I only finished 5 seconds behind him as it was.

We did finish 2nd in both races too, and if Old G's internet hadn't farted and transported him into a parallel universe then we would have had a lot more points, same with Dice doing what he does and messing up his pitstop... he would have been around 4th.

But, the headline is that they won both races and scored more points so i'm sure they will grasp on to that for dear life and proclaim eternal victory. But we know that when we are allowed to pick the combo and get GW to race, it will be a different story.

They were better than I expected on the whole, despite the fact you could drive the cars with your eyes closed so it minimises any difference in ability.

Hehe superb that was a lucky pick! Thought it must've been decided already. Lovely little car the az-1, it's a fun drive.
Damn shame I missed the megane inter-race, it sounds like pretty well everyone really enjoyed the racing.

Chaps bad news (for me). I've had an off on the bike today and slid into an oncoming car.

I've snapped my thigh bone just above knee. Having an op either later to tonight or tomorrow but looks like Ill be in hospital for a week maybe two and then months of physio

Everything else is just bumps and bruises - gutted especially as I wasn't on it just on way home from sisters and hit gravel and lost the rear.

You guys carry on. Keep score etc ill email whoever the spreadsheet when I'm home.

Jaysus Dice. Sliding into oncoming cars isn't known as being a wise move hehe Sounds like it could have been a bazillion times worse, so glad you are still in one piece. Which bike was it?

Hope you are fighting fit again soon, I need someone to struggle to get past on the track!

Buggar. I would have thought a grock like you would have ploughed straight through the car and written it off, and then just got up and walked away... shame.

I suppose I should insert the classic line of 'the bike can be repaired, you are more important!'

What car did you hit? Pity it wasn't a monster truck! Or Top Gears OAP car with the big sponge on the front.

Also, this is a bit of an extreme way of avoiding having to race against me at Trial Mountain hehe
