Well I've got loads of borrowed IT kit to somehow get working tomorrow and if the BT openzone holds up I'll Post some updates on this thread. They'll mainly be Biased towards the Moore Racing cars as they are the ones I'll know most about but I'll try and put in bits about the other key cars or requests.

I'll not commit to a regular update time as it will depend on my workload. as of 5pm Saturday my live revolves around a 2 minute 10 second timeframe...

Good luck everyone and have a great time

Minor Drama, the BMW picked up a puncture, and had to do a very slow inlap to prevent damage.
Fortunetly we were due a driver change and fuel stop so only lost a couple of laps


Roll centre have taken the overall lead ahead of the 2 duller cars

Top Gear Team still messing around with Jezzer,hamster and slow wandering up and down the pit lane

Lots Of people seem to be having tyre problems particularly the front left.

a few cars have been unlucky and gone off with it. But many more have limped back to the pits.

We ran for as long as we could on the short fuel fill and have now done another driver change With Paul Fenton behind the wheel.

We were up to 3rd in class but dropped to 5th after a disk change at the pit stop.

THe civic keeps pounding around Fine.

The duller z4m still tops the times followed by GTS and Shorty

Top gear hanging in in 38th.


The GT2 Porker next to us wrapped up and went home in the first hour !!!!! cry

We've Currently Got Miles Hulford running in the Civic, behind the Safety Car.

Up until then he was going Very well and actually posted the overall fastest lap for the car in whilst running in the Dark.

Unfortunetly For Paul Hes been out for his stint and so far done 6 laps behind the safety car in the fog.

The word has come down that the Race is now going to Parc Ferme on this lap.

THe cars will be parked up and the clock Suspended for the driver times.


We all have to restart with the same driver and nobody can work on the cars.
