Sorry! paperbag
I'll try and not brake quite so late again!
Annoyingly, I wouldn't have created carnage on my last move in the last race, at least I don't think....
I think Loz meant your earlier hand brake turn on the 4th lap of 5... hehe

My only concern with sunset is the amount of cutting that will inevitably going on, I should imagine lap times will come to mean nothing and could lead to some odd racing? any thoughts?

Do you know what, I'd forgotten all about that! frown

You had to bring that little gem up! winkhehe


With regard to Sunset, I can see you're point. How about Road Atlanta instead and then make a decision on Sunset later? scratchchin
Oh and do we still want to race at the same time?

Same time is fine by me - just want to be sure as to what tracks people are ok with... if possible, I'd like it decided by tomorrow night as it'll then enable us to get in practice (I say us, I mean you lot.. I'll be stuck at work!)

I won't be getting any practice either, I'm popping back to my parents this evening and am not back until Sunday!
I just don't want to be on too late on sunday as I'm on an early the following morning! frown

lol, looks like everyone is getting their excuses in early! I'm not gonna be back in front of my 360 until sunday night aswell, so i'm gonna be rubbish.

In regards to what track, i'm easy as i'm gonna be in the same situation whatever track it is i.e. no practice.

Great racing boys....i'm glad we had a quick practice before doing the races proper.
I think also whatever Top Gear do on that evenings programme, we should reinact it on the doss around races afterwards, that muscle car race was good! biggrin

I'll upload some pics tomorrow night

Updated the OP... No movements in the absolute standings, but red's current form would have him top excluding two rounds (1 poor, 1 missed) on points... Its all tightening up in second after an unfortunate(?!eek) round again for Geebsie, another to watch when back on form. Both need watching in future, as does that pesky lozstack bloke... the outright win still eludes him but some very very solid results once more.

Suprise of the night for me (aside from my amazing overtake, please ignore that shortly after I lost the lead) was Mikey WHU's immense control of the driftomatic Silvia S15 supermaddriftocar - mad car, superb win in the after-race laughabout. thumbup

For the afterraces next week, some ideas are already in place, but we'll definately mimic TG, though to be fair - we did do the challenger cup before they ever went over there... hehe

Next round suggestions?

As Promised.....pics from all three rounds yesterday:

RACE 1


Race 1 - Turn 1.........didn't last long did we chaps?


Ben's amazing overtaking move....note how far back he is at the 200 metre board


A dive to the inside.....


....which looks suspiciously like corner cutting to me!


And he makes it stick!
