All,

Can you stick your names down for those interested in Sunday night championship please.

I am still tweaking previous seasons rules but once I have an idea of numbers competing......

Season will start in a couple of weeks. Ill update this page with the new rules and format.

Im not reinventing the wheel as what we have works well but needs tweaking to avoid getting stale.

Chaps my thinking on format is this.

Race 1, a short quali race to determine the grid for race 2. 1 lap of ring, but maybe up to 5 laps on the shorter track. This allows people to qualify and change boots for race 2.

Race 2, 60 mile race - 1 compulsory stop both sets of tyres to be used.

Race 3, sprint race 45 mile, no stop (unless needed) and run on the slower of the two tyres.

Full damage etc across the board as before.

You all need to give me two cars, and one track. The combo, along with tyre wear will be picked out of a hat - whoever picked the car can then pick the spec. YOu can either email them to me or post on here.

The one thing im toying with and you guys need to let me know what you think. The quali race each week, im thinking a set car - roadster tc is my thinking (i know we mentioned the clio's but ive changed my mind). This would be run on the set of tyres that are picked for the week.

Norbs head via twitter via a block the pub who's mothers unlces best friends sister's boyfriends' mechanic head that brands hatch is in too! Now I like that.

Andulucia as a location for course editor sounds interesting - the other locations have had a fixed version too? Be like the either with sea views!!

I'll be up for this Sunday going to try and get back in the seat later this week.

Rules will be updated by Wednesday.

Anyone noticed that the fastest time on the anniversary tt at the ring is 0.033 (that's total lap time, wtf, that's an average lap speed of like 108,000 mph) cheating bar steward

This sounded pretty close through my tv. Recorded on my iPhone with optrix app.

Just to give you an idea of how sweet the car sounds (for those interested)

I've decided whichever wear rate is picked it will cover all 3 races.

Daz quite like the hot hatch suggestion, lets see how we go this season.

great fun last night. was having an awesome race with flip, norbs and GW until his disconnect took flip out. Final half of race 2 was mega, joe caught me and I just about held him off for 4 or 5 laps.

First table below - If Ian does come back (where are you Ian) I'll add the 12th week in.

And YES I know the car and tracks are all over the shop - its sorted now for next week.
