sean_d wins his 3rd straight championship, again just 1 race off a clean sweep. e300vkb takes 2nd and Hasselmoff 3rd.
In the handicapped championship, myrdo is remarkably consistent and takes the win. Twistygit has a good final race and sneaks 2nd with sean_d 3rd.
In the ballast championship, sean_d (I'm wearing out those keys in my keyboard I type his name so much) wins followed by Hasselmoff and e300vkb.
In the team championship, The Bandicoots (Mr Stoopid, Sundaygloom, Dpb1975) take advantage of a lot of absences and sneek the win, Skiidmarks and Fast(ish) n Loud take the other positions.
Promotions/Demotions. We have tuomijr (only just, Sundaygloom escapes via result countback) and Quikcurl down from League 1, evans and Plaice up from League 2. Matt S (I'll be joining you next season) and cxrodent down from League 2 and edgeofgrip and grandadjim up from League 3.

Race Report from Snetterton.
Well sean_d does it again, and a very impressive 0.4 secs ahead of 2nd place. Following him home was e300vkb and then the ultra-competitive duo of Teamsreth and Speckle, who after over 700 attempts between them were separated by 0.003 sec.
So in League 1 that sees sean_d ahead of e300vkb and then Born2BSlow, Djbuzz07 and Hasslemoff level for 3rd. In the relegation zone, Sundaygloom and AllanPRF are down there due to no-shows, with AllanPRF in danger of auto-relegation if he doesn't clock a lap this week, it's a tough regime I'm running here :-)
League 2 throws up a mixed bag of results with no-one really able to do well in both Race 1 and Race 2. Maclean takes the win and the league lead along with Twistygit. 2 points seperate the next 5 places and then in the relegation danger area it's me, TrigL and Quikcurl
League 3 is tight at the top, with Teamsreth, SirBarnabus2nd and Speckle all in the mix.
Handicapped championship sees Speckle take the win and tuomijr does well to keep a strong overall lead.
Ballast championship tweaking does seem to be working with a good mix at the top. Teamsreth wins followed by Maclean and grandadjim, but it's Speckle in the overall lead (just).
Team Championship sees QC Racing back to winning ways and take the overall lead.
Next race is Donington in a Caterham and don't forget to keep logging the laps in the RallyX Challenge.

Race Report from Donington.
sean_d wins followed by Hasslemoff, annoyingly/impressively it only took them 7 laps between them to secure the top 2 places.
In League 1 sean_d is obviously in the lead, maybe this time it could be his clean sweep championship? Hasslemoff makes up some ground on e300vkb for 2nd place. It's tight at the bottom between Plaice, andy_b and Sundaygloom.
In League 2, newly promoted Teamsreth goes straight into the top spot, with Twistygit looking good for 2nd. In the relegation zone, it's me and Quikcurl that are looking doomed.
League 3 has SirBarnabus2nd tied with Speckle for the promotion slots.
Over in the handicapped championship, VampyrByte wins, but tuomijr stays in the overall lead.
In the ballast championship, with an odd number of races completed it's the quick guys in the lead, sean_d etc, the next round when the penalties kick in will give us a more valid picture.
The team championship sees QC Racing continue their return to form.
The last race before Christmas sees us at Sonoma in a Toyota GT-86, good luck.

Race Report from Sonoma.
An impressive 30 drivers deserted their families over Christmas and managed to log a lap.
Sean_d keeps his 100% record with over half a second to spare. e300vkb, Hasslemoff and then Born2BSlow who still came 4th despite just sneaking in a single complete lap.
In League 1, sean_d streets ahead and only playing for the pride of his first clean sweep, e300vkb and Hasslemoff fairly settled in 2nd and 3rd. At the bottom Plaice and Sundaygloom sitting in the relegation zone and need to be careful because if they don't log a lap this week they're going all the way down to League 3.
League 2, Teamsreth cements his first place and Twistygit solid for 2nd. At the bottom Quikcurl is looking like he's down, no-shows let me catch up a bit and in with a slim chance of escaping relegation.
League 3, Speckle and SirBarnabus2nd well clear for promotion.
Handicapped championship, the calculation comes to bite tuomijr allowing Twistygit to make up ground.
Ballast championship, new rules are mixing it up a bit, but still sean_d winning......
In the team championship, a bit of hiring and firing sees The Bandicoots up to 1st and Skiidmarks in to 2nd.
Last week of the Championship and 2 races to set a time for, we're off to Daytona in a Dallara and going Rallying in a Civic.

Last week of the Championship and 2 races to set a time for, we're off to Daytona in a Dallara and going Rallying in a Civic.
Bit of an odd season this one, with the RallyX double race season finale and the Christmas break meaning people didn't have a lot of time available.
But one thing remains constant, sean_d wins his 4th straight championship, this time with his first clean sweep. e300vkb takes 2nd and Hasselmoff 3rd.
In the handicapped championship, tuomijr did enough at the start of the championship to take the win. VampyrByte takes 2nd on results countback from myself.
In the ballast championship, we finally have a new winner that isn't sean_d. Speckle takes the win from sean_d followed by Teamsreth.
In the team championship, The Bandicoots (Mr Stoopid, SirBarnabus2nd, Dpb1975) take a convincing win Skiidmarks and QC Racing take the other positions.

Belated Race Report from Ruapuna Park.
Not quite a record amount of drivers but a huge amount of laps completed, 2174, with kev7whyte and Ianb-lincs individually clocking up over 200 laps.
As per normal, we have sean_d leading the pack, with Hasslemoff and e300vkb following, but also a good effort from Teamsreth to grab 4th.
So in League 1, we have the above mentioned in the top 4 and a couple of no-shows, Djbuzz07 and evans at the bottom.
League 2, Speckle and VampyrByte in the promotion slots and no-shows SirBarnabus2nd and edgeofgrip in the relegation area.
League 3, We have kev7whyte and grandadjim in the promition slots. We have far too many people, 17, in league 3 so we could be looking at opening up a League 4, watch this space.
Handicapped championship, oldmodelt takes the win with kev7whyte and grandadjim in 2nd and 3rd.
In the team championship, We have Skiidmarks from Fast(ish) n Loud and newcomers The Brake Dancers.
Next race is at Cadwell Park in an Audi A1.

Belated Race Report from Cadwell Park.
Loads of drivers took part and loads of laps completed, going to make my total laps completed google maps thingy at the end of the championship interesting. The Cadwell Park Race Director had got out the wrong side of bed, especially at that chicaney bit at the end leading to over half the laps completed being invalid.
sean_d wins again, but he had to work for this one, it took him 53 laps and only sneaked it by 0.006 secs from e300vkb. Teamsreth takes 4th.
So in League 1, sean_d winning, e300vkb moves to 2nd and Hasslemoff and Teamsreth joint 3rd. Djbuzz07 turns up and so avoids the possibility of a no-show relegation but I think evans is no longer playing :-(
League 2, Speckle and VampyrByte take 1 and 2 again and no-show relegation imminent for SirBarnabus2nd and edgeofgrip.
League 3, We have kev7whyte and grandadjim in the promotion slots, but inthebagbud makes ground.
Handicapped championship, Teamsreth takes the win but kev7whyte takes his second 2nd place to take a considerable lead overall.
In the Ballast Championship, it's really close with 4 points separating the top 6, but it's e300vkb from Born2BSlow and Maclean.
In the team championship, The Bandicoots with the help of new member Ianb-lincs, take 1st place and are level with Skiidmarks for the overall lead.
Next race is Knockhill in a diabolical Mercedes, sorry about that....

Race Report from Knockhill.
First of all well done to all those that persevered with that awful Mercedes AMG C63 (aka 'The Boat'). The random nature of this site does occasionally throw up an unbearable combo like this so the fact that we still put in nearly 2000 laps is an achievement.
It's 'No-Show' clearout time. evans, SirBarnabus2nd and edgeofgrip drop out, Speckle goes up to League 1 and kev7whyte, inthebagbud and grandadjim go up to League 2.
So the big news is the all conquering sean_d was short of time this week and could only put in a marker lap, leaving e300vkb to take the win with Speckle 2nd and Djbuzz07 3rd.
e300vkb takes the League 1 lead from sean_d and then there's a cluster of 4 drivers fighting for 3rd, Hasslemoff, Born2BSlow, Teamsreth and Speckle. At the sad end of the table Twistygit looks to be continuing his relegation to League 2/promoted back to League 1 boomerang and andy_b is down there too.
League 2, VampyrByte and kev7whyte take 1 and 2 again and look clear for promotion, relegation is a 4-way battle betwee myself, tuomijr, TrigL and Dpb1975.
League 3, We have Sundaygloom and SniperAsh6 clear for promotion, but Paicey hauls himself closer. Kamikaze_Chris and Katana_Blade in the relegation slots.
League 4 has ROSSinHD and oldmodelt in the promo slots but new joiner A_Chalk_Outline takes the win and could potentially catch up.
Handicapped championship, Djbuzz07 takes the win and kev7whyte keeps the lead overall but people are catching.
In the Ballast Championship, Speckle takes the win and it is e300vkb from Speckle and Teamsreth overall.
In the team championship, Skiidmarks take 1st place and are going to take some catching by The Brake Dancers and The Bandicoots.
Next race is Snetterton in a Nissan Skyline.

Race Report from Snetterton.
Another good turn out with 35 drivers and over 2000 laps completed, with the combo being stubbornly difficult to get right.
In sean_d's absence e300vkb put in a tremendous time and sneaked the win from Speckle by 0.06 secs to make it 2 wins on the trot. So e300vkb is now a convincing 10 points clear in League 1 from Hasslemoff and Speckle. Down at the bottom I'm afraid andy_b and Twistygit are almost certain of relegation.
In League 2 kev7whyte takes the win ahead of VampyrByte and those 2 are well clear for promotion. The relegation battle is where it's all happening with 5 drivers seperated by 3 points with myrdo putting himself in the mix with a 'no-show'. If I was a betting man though I'd say it's going to be myself and Dpb1975 that go down.
In League 3, Sundaygloom takes the win from King-Kodiak and it's Sundaygloom and SniperAsh6 looking set for promotion. At the bottom it's 2 from 3 between Cxrodent, Katana_Blade and Kamikaze_Chris.
In League 4 it's the tale of the new joiners, Mushypee wins from Tintop and the returning edgeofgrip. For the promotion though it's ROSSinHD clearly out in front, but oldmodelt's 'no-show' leaves 2nd place open.
In the Handicapped championship, garyellerby takes the win but kev7whyte continues to put in great results and is now 13 points clear with 2 races to go.
In the Ballast championship Djbuzz07 wins, and it is Born2BSlow in the overall lead just ahead of e300vkb.
In the Team Championship, Skiidmarks were well ahead of everyone else, and are now well clear in the table having won 3 of the 4 races.
And so for the penultimate race we wander over to Dubai and head back to the '80s in a Lotus Type 98T Renault Turbo.

Race Report from Dubai.
Another good turn out with 36 drivers. The Lotus and the track were a hard combo to get right and this resulted in the biggest spread of times I think we've ever seen, with a nearly 20 second gap between first and last. Also we were bailing out of 67% of laps that we started as compared to normally where it's about 30-40%.
In League 1, e300vkb left it late, only getting the first place with an hour to go, Hasslemoff and Speckle getting 2nd and 3rd. League 1 spots are pretty much sorted going into the last race with e300vkb from Hasslemoff and Speckle, with andy_b and Twistygit heading down.
In League 2, kev7whyte takes his second win on the trot, and himself and VampyrByte clear for the promotion slots. In the relegation area it's 2 from 3 between myself, Dpb1975 and tuomijr.
In League 3, Sundaygloom and SniperAsh6 are well clear for promotion, Cxrodent and Kamikaze_Chris heading down.
In League 4, RossinHD definitely promoted, but it's a lot tighter for the final slot between A_Chalk_Outline, molineux1980 and oldmodelt.
In the Handicapped Championship, A_Chalk_Outline wins the race but kev7whyte keeps the lead overall.
In the Ballast Championship, it's e300vkb out in front, but Born2BSlow could nick it yet carrying less ballast into the final race.
In the Team Championship, The Brake Dancers, after a few team member tweakages, have seemingly found the dream team and have won 3 on the trot and look unbeatable for the championship.
Final race of the Season is Bathurst (wahoo) in a Ford Falcon (hmmm, not so sure)

End of Championship Report.
It's a dominant League Championship win for e300vkb with Hasslemoff hanging onto 2nd from Speckle.
Djbuzz07 wins the Handicapped Championship, jumping ahead of kev7whyte in the final race, e300vkb takes 3rd.
In the Ballast Championship, Born2BSlow takes the victory with a great final race, e300vkb and Teamsreth take the final honours.
In the Team Championship, The Brake Dancers are completely dominant, with Skiidmarks and The Bandicoots making up the numbers.
It is with great regret that I have to demote the almost invincible sean_d under no-show rules, but hopefully he'll be back soon and be a bit more careful on a bleeding snowboard from now on. Twistygit and andy_b go down to League 2.
VampyrByte, kev7whyte and grandadjim (only just on countback) go up to League 1. The demotion battle was mad, I clocked up 600 attempted laps trying to avoid it, went off to table tennis on Wednesday night as a relegated man, came back and somehow other people's lap times had got me out of jail. Anyway, in the end, it's myrdo and Dpb1975 who go down to League 3
SniperAsh6, Sundaygloom and StanvanAsten go up to League 2 and Kamikaze_Chris and Cxrodent go down to League 4.
Munchie, A_Chalk_Outline and molineux1980 (again in countback) go up to League 3.
Some stats for you for the championship.
10444 laps completed.
13674 miles completed, and we've now broken my Google Maps from here to here measurement as we've gone over half way around the world!
After all that preamble it's on to the main event, the Stoopid Challenges Alternative Awards, like the Oscars but without the sparkly dresses, well I'm presuming so, but who am I to judge.
The "Might be getting a bit obsessed" award with 1479 laps completed is kev7whyte (first time anyone has gone over 1000)

Race Report from Barcelona.
One of our better combos with a nice and healthy 37 people taking part, and it's e300vkv that takes the win by 0.008 from Born2BSlow. Those 2 were a good half a second ahead of the rest with Speckle leading the chasing pack.
So, in League 1 we have e300vkb from Born2BSlow and Speckle, down at the bottom we have MacLean and grandadjim.
League 2 leaders are inthebagbud and tuomijr, with a couple of notable no-shows andy_b and TrigL.
League 3 we have myrdo making a bid to come straight back up to League 2 and King-Kodiak, Masquerada down at the bottom and Katana-Blade as a no-show.
League 4, we have new joiner pmjg66 with avery quick time, he'll be moving up quickly from Rob.
In the handicapped championship we have a very strong first race by garyellerby and relatively new joiner Zask takes 2nd as his handicap kicks in.
The Ballast championship isn't interesting yet as it's just the first race before ballast gets applied.
The team championship sees the Brake Dancers well ahead, Speckle has built a formidable team there. If anyone wants to try and build a team to be beat them please join in, you need to be a VIP member to set up the team and then you can pick anyone to join your team.
I think that's about it, next race is at Mojave in a Ford Fusion Stockcar, could be interesting....

We're at the halfway point in the Championship and it's a race report from Oulton Park.
e300vkb nailed this one with a relatively comfy victory from Speckle and then Hasselmoff. So in League 1 he's well clear and then it's Born2BSlow, Speckle and Hasselmoff all tied fighting for the remaining podium positions. grandadjim and MacLean nestled at the bottom and looking like they're headed back down to League 2.
In League 2 inthebagbud makes it 3 from 3 with tuomijr in the other promotion position. SniperAsh6 and StanvanAsten in the relegation zone.
In League 3 the newly promoted pmjg66 and Zask are straight into the promotion slots. molineux1980 and Masquerada in the relegation zone.
In League 4 we have Killjoy Snorlax and Mushypee in the promotion slots with Tintop and 2609stevell chasing.
In the Handicapped Championship, JasonSandwich takes the win and the formula catches up with Zask and he gets 0 points but stays in the lead with garyellerby making in-roads into his lead.
In the Ballast Championship Born2BSlow wins and e300vkb does enough to keep the overall lead.
In the Team Championship, The Brake Dancers winning streak of 6 races finally comes to an end with Skiidmarks taking the win.
As it's the half-way point it's "No-show" clearout time. TrigL, andy_b and Katana_Blade all go down, King-Kodiak and Dpb1975 go up to League 2, pmjg66, Zask and Maskmagog go up to League 3.

It's the end of Race 4 and I think it's fair to say that no-one really fell in love with the McLaren, having to constantly press the DRS button was just a pain in the arse to be frank. But we ploughed on, and a new record of 39 drivers gave it a bash.
This week it's Hasselmoff that gets the win by nearly a whole second, very impressive and even after watching his video a dozen times I'm buggered if I know how he does it :-) e300vkb takes 2nd and remains top of the League 1 table with Speckle staying in 3rd. grandadjim and Macleanheading down to League 2.
In League 2, Ianb-lincs had a godd result, putting himself in the promotion mix with inthebagbud, who had a relatively bad day at the office, and tuomijr. At the bottom, no-shows from Sundaygloom and StanvanAsten leave them in the relegation zone.
In League 3 pmjg66 and Zask continue to dominate, and molineux1980 and Masquerada struggling at the bottom.
In League 4, new joiner PH_Racing43 and welcome returner jam_my21 get good results, but it's Killjoy Snorlax and Mushypee in the promotion slots with 2609stevell and Tintop continuing to catch up.
In the Handicapped Championship we have a new leader, JasonSandwich, who not only won the race but was totally mystified about what he had actually won.
In the Ballast Championsship it's Hasslemoff just edging out Teamsreth.
In the Team Championship The Brake Dancers return to winning ways and it's The Bandicoots and Skiidmarks fighting over the scraps.
The penultimate race of the season is Indianapolis in a BMW with what appears to be a ridiculous spoiler attached, I'll soon have that knocked off with my bouncing off walls driving style.

Race 5 Update from Indianapolis
Lot of people feeling the love for the BMW Z4 and despite my best efforts I couldn't get that spoiler to come off. 37 drivers took part and nearly a 1,000 laps completed.
In the end its e300vkb back to winning ways followed by Hasslemoff and Born2BSlow. e300vkb not quite mathematically League 1 winner yet, but just turning up for the next race should be enough. Unless there's some freak results, grandadjim and Maclean are heading down to the happy place of League 2.
League 2 and inthebagbud is looking nailed on for promotion to try his luck in League 1, with the final spot between Ianb-lincs and tuomijr. Sundaygloom and StanvanAsten heading down.
League 3, pmjg66 and Zask well clear for promotion and molineux1980 and Masquerada going down.
In League 4 it's all to play for, there could potentially be 4 promotion slots due to no-shows, so Killjoy Snorlax, Mushypee, Tintop and 2609stevell could be going up.
In the Handicapped Championship, molineux1980 takes the win and moves to 1st overall.
In the Ballast Championship, e300vkb sneaks into the lead but Speckle is right behind.
The Team Championship has some new kids on the block, the off roaders! who are straight in to 2nd place overall to challenge the previously unbeatable Brake Dancers, all to play for there going into the final race.
The next championship is up and available, with 2 of the races picked by player submissions and a subsequent vote.
Final race is Hockenheim in a Ferrari 333 SP.

First race of the new championship and there's a big turnout. 39 drivers and over 1500 laps completed. Big shout out to Zask and Danny102 who did over 200 laps each. The combo itself was an interesting one with the Race Director being unusually flexible on track limits, so much so, that numerous 'short-cuts' were available and there was much talk and trying out of the various routes round the track available.
But in the end it was a victorious return for sean_d with Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff in 2nd and 3rd.
In League 1, whilst sean_d makes his way back up, Born2BSlow makes hay and takes the early lead.
In League 2, Zask is a country mile ahead of the rest of us with Maclean in the other promotion slot.
In League 3, myrdo sneeks the win from A_Chalk_Outline.
In League 4, unfortunately for the other members in there, sean_d well ahead with FTR mov just getting 2nd.
In the Handicapped Championship, tigger stu grabs first place with oldmodelt and Weeble2015 2nd and 3rd.
In the newly competitive Team Championship, it's back to winning ways for the Brake Dancers, but the off roaders! are running them very close.
The next race is at Dubai in a Chevrolet Camaro. Good luck all.
