Okey dokey, let's have a little bit of an update. The single end date for all 6 races is a bit of a damp squib, kind of forced upon us by differing release dates of an update that seriously changed the lap times attainable. But hey ho we plough on and next championship we're back to our challenge per week.
As it stands, Speeddmon91 is leading League 1 but he hasn't got it all his own way with Djbuzz07 coming up with some great times and Hasslemoff taking a couple of wins and yet to post times for a couple of races.
Down in the relegation zone, it basically needs anyone to turn up to completely get themselves out of the danger area.
In League 2 Lanius94 is completely dominant with myself and Simon P hanging onto his coat-tails.
In the relegation zone, McGyver43 and Shoemacher are heading downwards. Shoemacher in particular is a shame becuase he was pretty quick.
League 3 is the most hectic league, DoR currently with a clean sweep of all 6 races but very tight between Quikcurl and Smoke241 for the final promotion slot.
Now the Handicapped championship, which I always have a soft spot for because it's the only hope I have of actually winning, is a bit buggered up becuase the handicap normally re-calculates week on week, but with all the races ending simultaneously this isn't happening. But that's to take nothing away from everyone's favourite new chat king, and run-away leader, Brattskeggr, who has put in an enormous amount of laps and effort.
So all this could change with a week and a half to go, so keep on playing, a bit of effort in this last period can make a big difference.

Speeddmon91, as well as producing fantastic "This is how it should be done" videos for us all to scratch our heads over, is still unbeaten since joining the site with 10 straight victories. So he takes the Championship 11 win with Born2BSlow and Djbuzz07 scrapping unti the last moment for second place. AesopF1 and zr1chris get demoted.
In league 2 Lanius1984 destroyed everyone else with a clean sweep of 1st places with myself a distant second. McGyver43 and Shoemacher go down.
In league 3 DoR takes the win, only failing to get a clean sweep of victories because BlackEagleUK turns out to be a demon with a handbrake in a Mini. Quikcurl takes 2nd and the final promotion slot.
In the handicapped championship Brattskeggr was dominant only getting beaten at Monaco, which apparently was driving him nuts. Djbuzz07 takes 2nd with Lanius1984 3rd.
Some stats for you for the championship.
2932 laps completed.
5500 miles completed, which according to Google Maps is about the same as driving from London to San Diego.

Race 1 at Silverstone all done, which turned out to be a bit of a "point it through the chicanes and hope the race director's having a nap" exercise.
It was a nice turnout of 25 drivers but we always welcome more, it looks a bit complicated because I'm a data freak, but basically it's just jump in the car/track combo and set a time, so come and join us at https://www.stoopidchallenges.com/.
Speeddmon91's unbeaten run stretches to 12 races, although Hasslemoff and DoR pushed him close, within a couple of tenths, but having only completed 4 laps you can't help thinking that there was more time there for Speeddmon91 if he'd have wanted.
Over in League 2, where all the pretty people live, I did OK in this one and came first with simon P in second.
In League 3 we have omnio leading followed by Smoke 241
In the handicapped championship it's omnio followed by BMW Z4M and then NJT1000.

Nice turnout of 28 drivers with a smattering of new joiners, so welcome all.
Speeddmon91 was under enough pressure at the end there from Hasslemoff that he felt it necessary to pop in a 2nd and a 3rd lap just to make sure. Meanwhile DoR had a last minute run to pip Djbuzz07 to the 3rd so the final positions for race 2 were Speeddmon91, Hasslemoff and then DoR.
In League 2, fcaglayan makes a welcome return and beats simon P into 2nd.
League 3, jam_my21, again been away for a while and comes back to take the win, with omnio and Smoke241 still sitting in the promotion slots.
In the handicapped championship, NJT1000 takes the win and moves into 1st place in the championship. The others currently in contention are omnio, BMW Z4M and Roisinbag.
In various alternative tables, it's Finland ahead of Turkey and then the UK in the country table and PC players ahead of XBox and then PS4 in the format table.
Now it's off to Long Beach in a Ferrari, head over to stoopidchallenges.com if you'd like to take part, all welcome.

3rd race was at Long Beach in a Ferrari and at the risk of repeating myself, it's Speeddmon91 that takes the win by a full second. If this guy isn't a real-life professional driver then he should be :-) Born2BSlow is back to his best to take 2nd place and DoR takes 3rd place with what must be some sort of record for hitting the restart button, only completing 14 laps out of 185 that he started. Down in the League 1 relegation zone Dpb1975 is going to need some good results to get himself out of the relegation zone.
In League 2 Quikcurl takes the win, with myself and simon P following. Due to no-shows, I'm thinking of extending the relegation zone to 4 down and 4 up from League 3, watch this space.
In League 3 jam_my21 continues his triumphant return, clocking his second win on the bounce and is rapidly catching omnio and Smoke241.
In the Handicapped Championship NJT1000 wins and has a commanding lead, however victory comes at a price and his handicap has fallen from an initial 11.84% down to 9.63% meaning he's going to have to keep on getting quicker to keep the results coming. omnio stays in second and BMWZ4M drops back failing to get any points in this race.

After a truly terrifying experience of driving an Oreca around Bathurst, God knows what it's like in VR, yet again Speeddmon91 takes victory. He must have liked that one because we got 11 laps out of him. Born2BSlow continues his comeback with DoR taking 3rd, he's taken up residency in that spot. Due to having a clearout of no-shows I've ended up in League 1 and straight into a relegation battle with andy_b, didn't think that one through very well.
In League 2 Quikcurl takes the win but jam_my21 moves into the overall lead, despite having missed a race. Smoke241 stays 2nd but it's going to be tight up there for the promotion slots.In the relegation slots RossinHD gets 5 points and fcaglayan does a last minute run to grab 4pts. It's very busy down there and I wouldn't like to guess who'll be relegated.
In League 3 tuomijr and NJT1000 hold the promotion slots, but there's a new guy speedy_sam, who is looking very quick, but probably joined a bit too late in the season to get out of League 3 this time round.
In everyone's favourite lottery the handicap calculation gets NJT1000 in the end and he can only manage 22nd, but still well out in front overall. tuomijr takes the win and leaps up to 3rd overall.
We have a new competition, where teams of 3 drivers compete. Due to the phenomenal takeup of this so far, ie bloody no-one, my team The Bandicoots are storming it, oh well, at least I'm winning something.
In the country championship, the Finns maintain their reputation as great drivers with their 3rd victory on the trot.
See you in Zolder in a Ginetta :-)

Finally got round to fixing the H pattern on the G25 to get back in to this, failed miserably and broke it even more, now beyond repair 
But I did fire it up again last night, did some online racing and remembered why it's so good, night race at Spa in VR is incredible, the lights coming up behind you is incredibly impressive.
So, gonna set some times sans h pattern sadly.
