It looks like the car is getting ready to go into tire-shake!

Is that the same run??? That series I took was of Q3 in the morning

I'm not sure its an issue with the rear slick but wonder is its something to do with the way the wieght is transferred to the right hand side causing the left hand tyre to unload.

Even with that on and off run he still ran a 7.50 with a 7.2 in the next round!!

Hi Tog & UK Finalists !
Thanks for the UK Finals coverage,
from the outside it was not even noticeable that you were doing double duty,
but it must have been a sh*tload of work, reporting AND commentating 26 classes..bow...
I was listening to the audio live stream and the "Jet Car, Barn, Yadda Yadda" made me hehe
Cheers from germany,
Benni





also noticeable was the -seemingly- total absence of Billy´s Dad - hope you get that one Tog

I think Nitro FM broadcast on the web (I do say I think) but I've never managed to find it!

Nitro FM is streamed to the web but as things stand it's on a trial basis with a limited number of connections which is why we have never mentioned it. There were/are plans to make it more widely available but...I'll stop there I think.

But for the Flame and Thunder:

1. Go to www.audiorealm.com
2. Search for nitro
3. If Nitro FM is broadcasting the search returns a record
4. Double click on the loudspeaker logo

Like I say, though, it's a limited number of connections, you fight it out...
