FINAL STANDINGS:



Top above Blue line. 9th to choose next week as shown.

Congratulations to SPEED12 for the win this week, and Kitch88 for running them close.
I spent today (even though it was Father's Day) sanding walls, painting bedrooms and then filling holes caused by the sander. Then I came home and did this instead of trying to scrape a few extra tenths:

Sorry Drabbesttunic, found a tenth yesterday afternoon.

Will be later today before I can get on to pick a challenge for this week, will get on it ASAP. Is someone still maintaining a list of tracks we haven't done?

Nice one smile I found enough to get into 10th but that took an age so as soon as I'd actually beaten my own time i called it a day

I think for what is a fairly long course the whole board is pretty damn close this week, everyone's done well, and it's great to see a number of different cars on the board. We are way off the global leaders this week, I guess those 30 odd pi points can soon add up and make a difference.

I couldn't seem to get on with the viper I don't know why, which is why I was really impressed with Cutters' time. It was only after my Saturday morning attempts that I managed to beat that.

I opted for rear wheel drive, partly to make it a little more interesting, but also because I wanted to try and dial out understeer, I can only assume that my vette was just able to maintain slightly higher corner speeds than Kitch's because I was probably a little lighter and had the rally tyres. On the vette making it 4wd instantly wiped out 7-10 PI points I think, whereas on the viper it actually reduced the PI by one point (I think).

Does anyone have good advice as to how to achieve the seasonal speed zone thingy?

Have been trying tens of times in a Hoonigan RS200 with all kinds of tunes, and got at 138.something mph vs the 140 target.
Seems it is quite a bit harder than the last ones!

I used the mosler for it. Smash through the wall on the bridge instead of braking for it and keep it nailed, should net the target easily that way.

Well done speed, and Kitch, great times both of you.
I stuck with the viper even tho the vette murdered it on the straights. For the pi, with the race tyres, you just couldn’t get much power out of it, with the rear aero only (couldn’t afford the front or any suspension), full weight and 4wd I think I ‘only’ managed to get it to about 67/675hp, you just pulled past me on the first straight and that was that, could catch you in the corners but you’d pull away on any bit of straight.
I’m away this week as well so probably won’t be able to get on at all smile

This is to the best of my knowledge.

The other road race not used are:
Colossus.
Horizon sprint.
Waterhead (think that got used on S1 876)

Dirt:
Cotswolds road rally.
Derwent reservoir trail (may have been used recently).
Lakehurst forest trail.
Moorhead rally trail.
Whitehorse.

CC and traffic ramming.
All pretty much available.

Definitely a power track. Traffic only got in the way a few times, one was an absolute idiot of a Mini deciding to cross the junction where the two 90 rights are, so I went straight into it hehe .
