Regardless of the penalties during the previous round, the weights don't get altered, because that will give an advantage after a penalty.

Hehe, winner of series is still not present! It will be a great final!  :)

And both contestants with maximum weight ;D.

 :-[ Server content not equal to track (download link). Impossible to join

Ha ha - spotted my stupidity now  ::) shame the game doesn't tell you when you've selected a track that doesn't exist  >:(

Sorry  :'(

Not sure I can make this one.

Haven’t managed a single lap of practise for this due to Sunday and Tuesdays race ...what could possibly go wrong ?  :P
At least I know the track well  :)

Me too, never got round to any practise so will be interesting

Me three.

Traditionaly, i am with server problems ( just because i living in +8 GMT in bear den)  ;D
Stracker is not working , Pete  :)

Hi guys. I'm afraid I cannot make it for this race. Have fun :)

Sorted, thanks for pointing it out

I guess I won't be able to race today and the next Wednesday. See you for the next champ ;)

Blimey big haul of points on the cards at this rate  ;D might make up for my disco last round  :'(

Bit anti climatic, but grats Maikel on the championship  :P

Yes, I know. Sorry about that...  :-\

 :'( A shame you can't make it, would've been a pretty good finale.

Ohh so sorry Felix... see you in next races!   :)
So, before this info i was planed do not fight against championships leaders in last round- let they fight clear. But if Felix is out - i'll try a flatout race in my maximum!  :)   :fencing:
Love this combo.  :devil: ( if i'll not sleep.)

I have Ptracker on but it doesn't show a fuel load  ???

But it shows a lap count based on the fuel your carrying.

It'll show your fuel load only once the session had ended. Not sure why but something I noticed aswell.

I can't select a car when I try to join the server  ???

What happend? Server in lobby ok but showing the race. And no avail cars..  ???

Gawd, what have I done wrong now.......

yep me too, lists 599xx evo but no cars to pick. And stuck in race session for some reason

I need some new glasses  :-[ Reduced practice to 30 mins and restarted, sorry for my mistake  :-\

Checksum mismatch now

Edit: My bad, had an old track version installed

i had checksum mismatch before, I redownloaded the track and then it let me in

NP, happens :)


Download latest version of the track.

downloaded the latest version of the track, but get an error message when I try to unzip it, no racing for me tonight  :(

Don't think I ever had to fight this hard to finish next to last  :P.

It didn't take long after the start for MJ and Simon to just blast past the obese 599. Seeing how much later MJ could brake scared the Bejesus out of me a few times  ;D.

After that I had some great battle with Maikel again, lots of side by side action and Flavus being the laughing 3rd in that group, as he pulled away as we were slowing eachother down.

Was a fun series for me, shame I had to miss so many races.

Phew, managed to just finish ahead of Jeffrey  ;D

I realized early in the race that the ballast was making a huge difference here on this track so at the start Simon made a great move in the 3rd corner. After that I just followed them until it was only me chasing Jeffrey who was on Flavus his tail. After a while we decided to take turns on attacking Flavus  8)
Some great battles, intense race from start to finish. Great car choice as I probably would never have driven it if not for this  ;DDon't use Winrar ( or update it or something ). I use 7zip from now on as I get that same error with Winrar. Could be its just outdated.

First race at this track and one of the best races of the series for me.
Qualifying was another tight affair and I crashed on my first hot lap so then was under pressure and very happy to make it on the second row.
Lost one place in the first few corners of the race to FMG and then it was a case of defend to the end. Held Mark off for a number of laps but I knew he would get past eventually however I made him work for it. Simon got through quickly after and then it was a case of defending against Maikel and Jeffrey. Maikel had one go into turn 1 but he went wide and I nipped back through. The battle behind between Jeffrey and Maikel allowed me to pull away for some laps but they kept coming back for more but lucky for me they ran out of laps. Great racing and really enjoyed the track and the car is just wonderful fun to drive.

Well that was a superb and fitting last round of a great championship  :thumbup1:

Hadn’t had any practise but at least knew the track well so was able to get up to speed pretty quickly and even antagonise the top end group until eventually dropping to 6th in qually.

Got a good race start and immediately latched onto Jeffery’s derrière not knowing he was carrying some fat bloke in his car  ;D he was glued to Flavus ahead so 3 of formed a high speed NASCAR train for many laps with Simon just a sec or 2 behind. It was great fun with only about a metre between each car but I could tell they were both holding me up under braking. (Not often I get to say that!)
Jeff eventually moved over when I got a better exit out of T2 and was heavy breathing down his neck and then I set about Flavus ahead. We had a good high speed chase for a few laps until I got past.  :fencing:
Once in clear air I immediatekg went 1.3 secs faster on the next lap  :o so knew I had good pace  :)
Simon was chasing me in his usual relentless way but this time I was able to keep him in check and then gradually open up a 5+ sec gap  :)
Even better,  I could see I was gaining on Fmg and Alex several seconds up front. It took a fair few laps to get on fmg’s Tail and I then started applying pressure for several laps. The pace was furious and could see both he and Alex getting a little ragged kicking up dust in several corners. Then sadly with a few laps to go Fmg braked earlier or harder at t1 than he had been doing and it just caught me off guard enough to thump his rear. It should have just given him a dented rear panel but as is usual with tho slightly odd AC collision modelling, it pitched him into a half spin.   :(I pulled straight over and waited for him to retake the position and saw Simon barrelling down on us. Fmg seemed to take forever to get going off the tarmac apron but thankfully we both pulled away just ahead of le Shark.
I then chased him hard to the flag for 4th  :) but Alex got an easy 2nd in the end when I think we could have both pressured him at the end.
Cracking race, loved it.  8)

Two discos in the series both whilst running in top 6 places cost me badly and meant I only finished 8th overall.  Shame :'( but had some brilliant racing throughout.

Well done to the series winner and big thanks to Jeff for organising a great series  :thumbup2:

I bit a tongue to my spotter at finish the race in 2nd  ;D And Nirvana coming next  :D

Thanks all guys for the champ! Congratulations to Maikel series champion  and NFSW55 for race win!  :thumbup1:
It was hard race for me but so fun! I had hard defend from FMG 35 minutes of race time  , than he was an acident with Mark and then i slightly relacs and finish second- it was my best podium in UKAC  8)
Thanks Jeff ans Pete for organization!  :thumbup1: . I love to drive this kind of modern cars in apropriate combos!
Hope next modern cars series will be the same fun for us!
See you all guys on the next races!  :rockon:  

Enjoyed the last race of this great championship.
Gladly I lost all my ballast in the last two rounds, so I was able to unleash all the power yesterday.
The car suited the track very well and althought I had nobody to fight against I had good fun.
Finished P1 and got my third win in this championship, perfect way to end this series.

Thanks Jeff for organizing this, car choice was superb. Already looking forward to the next (modern) series :D
