Race #3 Results

Race round up folks.
Rich media review to follow - hopefully something special (watch this space, or rather the one just above this post).

Clubman Roundup
Errr, oops. We forgot to race clubmans.
Now, we can skip it, or use next week's off race to catch up. Though I think that those at FCL will be at a buzz night, so probably not ideal.
As such, we'll save that for another week, perhaps in a couple of races time. In any case, no matter.


Superstars Roundup
Top race folks. Seven runners saw us with a good spread of cars in the race. I think all of us had something properly quick to run with, and the replay does look exceptionally good with the eclectic mix on the grid.
I think it was Chris that pointed out that in all our other classes we use the most recent cars, whilst nearly everything in this race was around the 2000 or before mark. Nice.

Highlights - well, so many. Once we got over my room kick (PSN I don't like you at all), the racing was re-run on the six lap format with time sped up a little more so that we weren't night racing the entire race.
Chris, Evan, Paul and I had a battle royal at the front. Well, Chris had a battle with his car keeping it on the road at the front, and the rest of us scrapped it out behind.
Paul, I'm not sure how many times we traded places per lap, but certainly your car was quicker into and round the corners whilst I could pull away down the straights. Ultimately as has been the case in many races a car that handles well will out race one that is just plain fast - though if you have a car that is lightspeed then you're in also, as Chris proved.
Special mention to Simon, well done in getting a good result chap - I suspect you didn't know that for enduro races we double the points. So a good uplift there that's brought you closer to Luke's spot.
And another special mention to Luke. Luke had this car:

Which tuned up to over 700Bhp (we/I was racing with around 650Bhp) and still had a bit of wing on it. Even the in-game write up said this car was epic. Which it is.
Alas, it turns out that it's fuel consumption was epic too, Luke's clever tyre strategy worked a charm to get him past Simon, but alas the fuel one wasn't so hot. What an excellent race to have events like that kick in.

Next week

Next week's event (this by the time you read it) is a no-points night, with a twist.
We'll be racing the hill-climb track that I have - it's a short minute or so length track, with some serious switch backs and elevation changes in it.
Essentially, this session is not a race session, it's a best time attack practice session.

Format
We'll start at 8:45, as we want to get into this, each class will have 1/2 an hour to race, before we step into the next class, so:
08:45 - TC500
09:15 - GT590
09:45 - 650Open
10:15 - Unlimited.

Note: I might change this if we get bored!

Classes are as per our usual race rules - see this as a 'getting to know you' session for your cars!
In each class it's a race to see who can set the fastest time - this gets posted on the practice lap time doobry on the top right of the screen (no name, but we'll figure that bit out). As we go up the classes we'll see the times come down (I hope!).
I'll also be turning on the penalties for practice, so wall riding won't work.

Here's me doing a hot lap in a 500pp RUF (not TC500!):

Anyway, let's see how we go in this session.

Race on!
