Speeddmon91 takes the race and championship win. That now makes 16 races unbeaten and he's never been defeated since he started. DoR takes second place comfortably with Djbuzz07 taking the final podium slot edging out Born2BSlow (I think that may be the first time he hasn't made the top three). In the relegation zone andy_b beats me sending me down alongside Dpb1975.
In League 2 Smoke241 goes up alongside jam_my21 with Brattskeggr (despite a fine last ditch attempt) and molineux1980 going down.
tuomijr and NJT1000 escape League 3 and head up to League 2.
In the handicapped championship tuomijr puts together a strong final finish to pip NJT1000 with Rosinbag coming from nowhere to steal 3rd.
In the newly formed team championship, my team The Bandicoots take the win, primarily by being the only team to have a full compliment of members for the whole championship.
Some stats for you for the championship.
2609 laps completed.
7349 miles completed, which according to Google Maps is about the same as driving from London to Honolulu, obviously there's some praticality issues in doing it in reality.

Another round completed at StoopidChallenges. Speeddmon91 takes the win and indeed all of League 1 show remarkable consistency by being in the exact same order as Race 1.
League 2 has Dpb1975 taking the win, but tuomijr stays in the league lead with another 2nd place. Down at the bottom fcaglayan posts a time getting himself out of the potential 'no-show' auto-relegation.
League 3, sean_d(VR) looking very strong with Brattskeggr closely following after winning a personal duel with Masquerada.
The Handicapped Championship sees garyellerby still out in front but SimonOUFCexile, Dpb1975 and Masquerada throw themselves into the mix with good results.
In the Team Championship, DoR finally posts a time with 15 minutes left until close to enable The Bandicoots to take the win and gain ground on QC Racing.
So this week is the last chance for no-shows to post a time. If it stays as it is jam_my21 is going down to League 3 and the leader of League 2 will be going up to League 1 and the leader of League 3 will go up to League 2 to fill the gap left. If NJT1000 doesn't show up as well then the 2nd place in League 3 will also go up to League 2.

The tail happy Jaguar F-Type at Knockhill leads to a record amount of invalid laps of 50%, and brings StoopidChallenges it's Rocky vs Ivan Drago moment, "You cut him, you hurt him, he's not a machine, he's a man". Hasslemoff puts in the most attempted laps of the week and beats Speeddmon91 by 0.08 sec, bringing to an end his unbeaten run since he started of 18 races.
In League 1 Hasslemoff's win brings him within touching distance of Speeddmon91 and down in the relegation zone it's looking like 2 of 3 out of andy_b, Twistygit and Smoke241.
In League 2 sean_d(VR) completely dominates with tuomijr and Dpb1975 fighting for the 2nd spot. In the relegation zone, fcaglayan and omnio are in trouble.
In League 3 it's tight for the 2 promotion slots between Masquerada, Cxrodent and molineux1980.
In the handicapped championship mikeyb99 takes the win and in the championship it's Masquerada, Quikcurl and then garyellerby.
Over in the team championship QC Racing (Quikcurl,Djbuzz07 and Paicey) take an easy win, well ahead of The Bandicoots (Me, Dpb1975, DoR)
Next race is Bannochbrae in a BMW M1 Procar, should be fun.

Well I thought the Bannochbrae/BMW M1 Procar combo was a cracker. sean_d(VR) obviously thought so, because he drove his pants off to take his first ever win, not only in real-time but in the handicapped version as well.
The big League 1 news is that Speeddmon91 was a no-show, hope it's a one off because he really is an awesome driver. That leaves Hasslemoff to take his 2nd win on the trot and opens up a commanding lead. Born2BSlow, Speeddmon91 and Djbuzz07 all fighting it out for the other podium positions. In the relegation zone, Smoke241 is a goner and it's between andy_b and Twistygit for the last slot.
In League 2 sean_d(VR) is outclassing us all by some considerable margin and the sooner he sods off up to League 1 the better ;-) tuomijr looking solid for the other slot. Relegation slots are also looking pretty nailed on with fcaglayan and omnio going down.
League 3 is looking more competitive with 2 out of Masquerada, TrigL, Cxrodent and molineux1980 going up, with TrigL having a good race to put himself up there.
In the Handicapped championship a good solid performance by Hasslemoff sees him leap from 4th to 1st followed in by Masquerada.
In the team championship QC Racing continues to dominate and a couple of no-shows from SimonOUFCexile and DoR hurt the Skiidmarks and the Bandicoots respectively.
Think that's about it, see you at Willow Springs :-)

Round up for that lovely lush scenic track that is Willow Springs. Nice amount of people took part, 31.
In League 1, well done to Hasslemoff making it 3 on the bounce and by quite a margin as well, 0.7secs. Born2BSlow takes 2nd and well done to Lanius1984 who takes 3rd. Hasslemoff virtually uncatchable for the League win now, all the excitement is down at the bottom with andy_b and Twistygit tussling to avoid the last relegation slot.
League 2, sean_d(VR) and tuomijr good for the promotion slots, the rest of us scrabbling about in the middle, and then omnio and fcaglayan definitely down.
In League 3, barring any disasters, TrigL and Masquerada should be up, and well done to new joiner Maclean10 who got the best time in that league and AllanPRF who was 3rd.
To the Handicapped Championship and BMWZ4M takes the win, but Hasslemoff keeps his lead, whilst garyellerby makes up ground. All to play for coming in to the last round.
In the Team Championship, DoR turns up with 15 minutes left and brings the win home for The Bandicoots (DoR, Dpb1971 and me). QC Racing though still dead certs for the overall championship.
And we're off to the full Le Mans circuit for the last race of the season, see you there.

I'm in, had go last night and I'll give it another bash later tonight to see if I can improve my time around Silverstone in the clio. I can already see how addictive this is gonna be, checked the telemetry today and I think I've gleaned a few pointers 
Welcome, glad to have you on-board 
It's goodbye to the shocking Ford Mustang GT, which most of us found to be a bit of a shocker.
It's well done to sean_d(VR) who nicks the win from Born2BSlow by 0.08secs with Hasslemoff 3rd. That brings sean_d(VR) right up with Born2BSlow in League 1. Down at the bottom it's looking like it's going to be a tight one with Quikcurl, DoR, Dpb1975, Twistygit and tuomijr all within a couple of points of each other with2 to go down.
In League 2, andy_b, TrigL and Paicey come 1/2/3 for the second race on the trot. At the bottom it looks like we're having a no-show with Smoke241.
League 3 sees U4IK_ST8 and evans in the promotion slots, keep an eye on Smoke241, if he doesn't show up next race the leader of this league goes up. MrD and irbravo didn't post a time for this race and end up propping up the league.
In the newly formed League 4, GT500Cobra takes the lead with Pig oN Pot x and danoliver1 chasing.
In the handicapped challenge GT500Cobra takes the win and jumps into the leading position.
In the team challenge QC Racing (Quikcurl, Djbuzz07, Paicey) continue to be uncatchable.

At the end of Oschersleben in a KTM X-Bow, which was a fun little combo, numbers taking part were down a bit because some new joiners were racing with a custom setup and we had to delete their times, you can come back by the way, it's an innocent mistake lots of new joiners have made in the past :-)
Back to the racing and it's sean_d(VR) who comes out on top after a huge last minute effort and completing 121 laps in an attempt to get past Born2BSlow, which he finally does by 0.07 secs. So it's looking like it's going to be sean_d(VR) and Born2BSlow battling to the last race (bloody Nordschleife, aargh) for the Real-Time win. Hasslemoff drops back slightly. In the relegation zone, DoR in trouble as he's gone missing in action, but the last spot could be taken from any of Twistygit, Quikcurl, tuomijr or Dpb1975.
In League 2, newly promoted due to a no-show, evans goes straight into the lead with andy_b and TrigL close behind. Masquerada looking in trouble for relegation with ROSSinHD taking the other downward slot.
In League 3 it's quite tight at the top with Sundaygloom from MacLean10 and AllanPRF. Relegation slots looking likely to be taken by no-shows.
In the newly created League 4 (probably a bit hastily in retrospect) we have danoliver1 and Pig on Pot x in the promo slots.
In the handicapped championship, molineux1980 takes the win, and TrigL puts himself into contention, but its GT500Cobra still hanging in there with the lead.
Team Championship, QC Racing wins again, although my team The Bandicoots were within 0.2 secs of them this time.
See you all at Watkins Glen in a BMW M3

See you all at Watkins Glen in a BMW M3
Report from Watkins Glen in a BMW M3 where Hasslemoff takes the win and I might have written him off too early last week becuase he's now back up there challenging for the League. sean_d(VR) stays in the lead with Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff chasing. At the bottom, no-shows from Quikcurl and Dor hurt their chances of staying in League 1.
In League 2 andy_b takes the win and moves to 1st place with evans looking good for the other promotion slot. Masquerada is looking like he's going down with the other demotion place currently held by ROSSinHD, but he can be quick when he wants to be so anything could happen.
League 3, SundayGloom continues his march upwards with MacLean10 taking his 3rd second place on the trot. Lots of no-shows at the bottom there so no demotion pressures.
League 4 danoliver1 well clear with garyellerby following, but a strong first race from Bigjobbo.
Handicapped championship, and it's RossinHD that takes the win and molineux1980 gets 2nd to take himslelf to the top of the table from GT500Cobra.
In the newly created Ballast Championship where the previous winner carries the most 'ballast' into the next race, it's our fastest three against each other again, with sean_d(VR) edging that one for the minute.
In the team championship, a no-show from Quikcurl means the Bandicoots (SundayGloom, Dpb1975 and me) take a glorious victory.
Next race is Road America in a Lambo.

Report from Road America in a Lambo. It was looking close there for a minute and setting up the final race perfectly but then sean_d(VR) pulled out a fantastic lap at the end and it's now looking very much like he's got League 1 in the bag. Down at the bottom DoR is down and Dpb1975 needs something special to avoid the drop.
In League 2 andy_b pulls out a decent lead, but it's between evans and TrigL for the final spot. At the bottom Masquerada is down, Cxrodent, Matt S and ROSSinHD are all level with one of the three to face the drop.
In League 3 Sundaygloom and MacLean10 should be good for promotion, shed loads of no-shows though mean there could be up to 4 going down.
League 4 sees danoliver1 well in the lead, but there could be lots of promotion slots available because of no-shows.
In the handicapped championship myrdo comes from nowhere to take the win, but molineux1980 hangs in there to keep the championship lead.
In the ballast championship, sean_d(VR) remains in the lead, but Hasslemoff will be lightest going into the final race.
In the team championship, after a minor blip in the previous race, QC Racing are back to their winning ways.
Final race is Nordschleife, let's see if I can even get a valid lap in....

sean_d(VR) takes the final race win to end a fantastic championship and win his first league title. Born2BSlow takes 2nd and Hasslemoff 3rd. Well done to those 3 who are currently unchallenged for those top 3 spots.
In the handicapped championship omnio puts in a good final race and takes the championship from molineux1980 and andy_b.
In the ballast championship, it ends up exactly the same as League 1, with sean_d(VR), Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff. Going to have to tweak the calculations so the rest of us can have a chance in there next season.
In the team championship, QC Racing (Quikcurl, Djbuzz07, Paicey) destroyed everyone before them and took this at a canter.
Some stats for you for the championship.

I thought that was a fun little combo, I wasn't very good at it as usual, but fun none the less. After a long battle between Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff, Born2BSlow was out in front, until at the last minute Sean_d(VR) pops up and whips away the win. I believe some strong language may have been used in the Born2BSlow household. Rob returns from his sabbatical to take 4th after a huge 114 laps.
League 2 sees Sundaygloom continue his march to League 1 but there's some quick guys chasing, AllanPRF, MacLean10, TrigL and Dpb1975.
League 3 sees U4IK_ST8 back winning after realising that you're not allowed to tune the car and is quite a way ahead of myrdo.
League 4 is a bit deserted at the moment, but will hopefully fill up with new joiners, Rob the clear leader there.
Don't forget no-shows cleared out after race 3 so there's the potential for mid-championship promotions.
In the handicapped championship, new joiner Ianb-lincs takes the win with myrdo and molineux1980 next in.
In the ballast championship, nothing really to report as the first race is the marker with no 'ballast' applied. I have however increased the ballast calc from 2% to 3% which will hopefully drag the top 3 back into the fold.
In the Team Championship, big news is that QC Racing didn't win and could only manage 3rd. Fast(ish) n Loud take the spoils with The Bandicoots in 2nd.
Next up is Sonoma Raceway in the Lotus Type 51, which is not so much a car, as a wall/barrier seeking manned missile. Could be interesting......

Report from Hockenheimring Short in a Honda NSX.
First of all congratulations to Maclean10 for becoming a father for the second time, I'm guessing that's going to limit his sim-racing time a tad....
It's half-way so we have our Mid Term No-Show Promotion/Demotions housekeeping.
evans drops down from League 1, and after a 3-way battle between Sundaygloom, AllanPRF and MacLean10 it's Sundaygloom that emerges victorious to take the vacant spot in that League. Rob moves up from League 3 to 2 to replace Sundaygloom.
Brattskeggr drops down from League 2 and U4IK_ST8 moves up to replace him.
In the actual race sean_d(VR) takes the win with a late effort after Born2BSlow nearly stole it from him. So that's 3 from 3 for sean_d meaning a convincing lead with Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff fighting over 2nd place. In the relegation zone it's looking like tuomijr is in trouble and probably Lanius1984 as he seems to have disappeared.
League 2 is where the actions at. Rob, AllanPRF, U4IK_ST8 and Maclean10 all scrapping for 2 promotion slots. Relegation is 2 out of Paicey, Matt S and RossinHD.
League 3 and we have myrdo from omnio but molineux1980 should be right up there after having a bit of a bad race this time round.
Handicapped championship, Ianb-lincs is still out in the lead but is now suffering with his handicap, and myrdo takes the win to catch right up.
Ballast Championship, and Born2BSlow with no ballast takes the win but sean_d(VR) does well to take 2nd with 1.2% ballast. That leaves him in the lead from Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff. It's still the big three well out in front, so I'll be doing some tinkering with the calculation for the next championship to try and give us all a chance in there :-)
The only thing left is the Team championship which my team The Bandicoots WON!
You might notice a common theme that I keep on coming up with formats until I get one that I do ok in :-)
Racer of the week goes to Sean_d(VR) who posted a time so close to a round second (1:04.999690) that some of my website formatting blew up. To be investigated.....
Next race is Brno in a Porsche 918.

Give it a go. All your laps automatically uploaded to the website, none of this post a screenshot stuff. I get all the telemetry of your best lap so you can see what you're doing different to other people at all the points in the lap. IOS app is a bit flakey by the way, but I'm working on that :-)
The PCLapUpdater is built using the .NET framework and I thought that an up to date version of windows would have all the voices pre-installed. You could try this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.a... which downloads Microsoft Speech.
Also you can press the Test button. I you have Speech installed it will talk, if not a message box should pop up saying that you don't have speech installed.

Round up of Race 1. The big news, well as big as you can get in a small community of people driving pretend cars around a pretend track, is that Speeddmon91 is back. The second big news is that sean_d(VR) pulled in a last minute lap and beat the unbeatable.
So the top 3 in League 1 are sean_d(VR) and Hasslemoff with AllanPRF 3rd having the highly impressive stats of starting 73 laps and only actually getting to the end of 2 of them. A few no-shows from some regulars in this league, hoping everyone's ok and it's just half-term absences.
In League 2, the newly promoted e300vkb smashes everyone else to take the lead with Maclean10 and then Twistygit.
League 3 has Speeddmon91 well clear, after his sabbatical he needs to work his way back up, but with no-shows I can't imagine that taking too long. evans continues his return to take 2nd.
In the handicapped championship we have L_Master_B taking the win and then Twistygit and sean_d(VR).
Ballast championship is same as the real-time as no ballast applied in the first race.
In the team championship, with some regulars missing, The Bandicoots take it a canter.
In the Office Cubicle Challenge, Plaice beats grandadjim by 0.04 seconds, consigning grandadjim to being on tea duty for the next week (again), or you could penalise Jonah Hill for not turning up and make him do it.
Next race is Cadwell Park in an old(ish) Merc.

sean_d(VR) takes the race win and is setting up for another attempt at the 100% win rate through the championship. Hasslemoff is 2nd again with Born2BSlow 3rd. Down at the bottom of League 1, Quikcurl and U4IK_ST8 are again no-shows, so Sundaygloom and Djbuzz07 could end up in the relegation zone after the round 3 no show clearout.
In League 2, after a few technical 'don't touch the default settings' issues e300vkb pulls off a relatively comfortable win with MacLean10 following. Down at the bottom, presuming Rob gets relegated for no-shows, then Cxrodent and Matt S are in trouble.
In League 3, new joiner edgeofgrip takes the win, but evans stays in the league lead with another 2nd place.
In the Handicapped Championship, Hasslemoff take the win and leaps to the top of the table, with Twistygit and sean_d(VR) close behind.
In the Ballast Championship edgeofgrip and Speckle take advantage of 0 ballast to take the top spots with sean_d(VR) hanging onto the championship lead.
In the Team Championship, we had a lot of absentees, and the Skiidmarks (Hasslemoff, Matt S and SimonOUFCexile) take the win and the championship lead.
In the Office Cubicle Challenge, competition is heating up with over 800 laps started between the 3 of them. grandadjim emerges victorious, despite a last ditch attempt by Plaice, with Jonah Hill 3rd on his first appearance.
Finally, a special shout out to Speckle who after a very long time away comes back with a renewed vigour clocking over 100 completed laps.
Next race is Barcelona in an old Lotus, come and join in at stoopidchallenges.com, all consoles, all levels.

Race 3 Roundup
I don't think we've had a combo where the quick guys were just so way ahead of the rest of us. It looked like Hasslemoff had it with a huge 1.3 seconds lead, until sean_d(VR) did his habitual last minute Wednesday night run and beat him by another 1.3 seconds.
In League 1, sean_d(VR) and Hasslemoff keep up their 100% first/second placings with newly promoted e300vkb leaping into 3rd. Down at the bottom, Quikcurl's pretty much had it, so it's pretty much a 3-way battle between Djbuzz07, Sundaygloom and tuomijr for the last relegation slot.
In League 2, it's perfect consistency with evans, newly promoted Plaice and Maclean10 in 1/2/3 for all 3 races so far. Down at the bottom, Matt S and cxrodent are in trouble.
In League 3 grandadjim is well out in front with edgeofgrip climbing into the other promotion slot.
In the Handicapped Championship, Twistygit takes the win and the championship lead, with Hasslemoff taking a tumble down the table.
In the Ballast Championship, Djbuzz07 takes the win, but it's the big 2 out in front, sean_d(VR) and Hasslemoff, but they're heavy for the next race so let's see if anyone can catch up.
In the Team Championship, QC Racing are back to take the win, but the Bandicoots and Skiidmarks are joint table leaders.
In the cubicle challenge, grandadjim must be wanting to take out Plaice with an office stapler as he does a last minute run to take the win. Again these 2 are putting a huge effort in, with roughly 450 laps started between them.
Next race is Oulton Park in the catchily named Renault Alpine A442B.
