They are completely standard. You can paint it, but there's no tuning whatsoever.

We have a full grid but look out for the table in the days before each race. If one of the regulars is 'OUT' then there's a slot available.

You must have a parental control setting active on your console, IIRC you have to turn that off for any custom designs to show up. You should be able to find it in the settings bit on the dashboard.

I think they have set it that way to stop all the porn car designs in the auction house spreading to the little 10 year old nutjobs who drive the wrong way round the track to blatenty piss you off.

Anyway.

Here is next weeks thingy.

I'm in, but will be silent, as I stood on the mic. earlier, hence it is now in two pieces....

I have had an amazing idea though.... Testing will be carried out tomorrow.

I think 5 x 5 laps is the way to go.

I'm torn, Muz!

I like the first one but I think the second works better for if we are going to drop the two worst scores at the end!

[Gruffy]

I reckon a separate table of results for each meeting and then a championship table with just the Total Meet scores, otherwise it's going to be huuuuuge. Especially if we're moving to 5 races per meet.

Yep see what you mean. So it would be the top 3 tables of the first format (these only showing the results for the round just held allowing people to check i've not cocked things up!!). Then the table from the second format purely showing the meeting total & grand totals. Is that what you meant Gruffy?? If so I'll upload that format as a test.

Edited by Muz_Wez on Monday 1st September 13:12

[Gruffy]

Yeah, I guess it's better to split the races out into their own tables, like you said. Then have the Championship table afterwards.

[Muz_Wez]

How does this look then as a third option?
