Bit disappointed to only take out Mr Oily about 15 times last night   Hahaha yes it was getting a tad embarrassing towards the end i must admit! Going sideways in the Falcon was like a drug, I couldn't stop no matter how much I may have been presenting myself to your various weapons of choice  The few corners we managed side by side were awesome SBG but yeah...still a way off Tokyo Drift  Count me in for mandatory stops and a third race...not sure about GTC76's, will we last a lap lol!? Should be Falcons all round |

Bit disappointed with the large amount of corner cutting I saw in the fig 8 praccy tonight. I hope people don't think that just because this is a fun race they should take liberties.
Errr, not quite sure if you are referring to me or not! A few times I went wide off the exit of the turns, and cut across the grass at the X but it screws you up for the next turn. But I wouldn't really describe it as a "cheat"  So is tapping the rear of a drifting car in the first Oval race, like the green Prodigy boys were doing to my lovely Alfa all last night is.... a) downright naughty and will be punished....  b) must be done discreetly  c) actively encouraged |

Only just realised this is a thread as it's blacked out in the forthcoming events list
Have we decided what format this will be yet? It seems an Oval with normal rules
followed by a destruction derby figure 8?
Is it every man for himself? are we doing the protect the arbarth thing etc etc?

Tonight's festivities will include- Race 1-Oval-Normal rules apply. Race 2-Fig.8-No rules except no one can drive the wrong way-Demo Derby everyman for himself. I may shorten this race to 15 mins. Race 3-if all are up for some fun |

Didn't help much last night did it Maybe the Abarth is the way to go, it's a smaller target Perhaps Sam will lend you his invisible Jag he was driving last night I had an invisible Jag, Alfa and Mini last night Tim . Eventually the cloaking device wore off and my car became a laggy Alfa. Hopefully tonight my internet will have one of its better days. If I'm lagging too much again, anyone feel free to give me a shout and I will quit. |

Don't think a lagging car will make that much of a difference on the fig8 unless you're an oldie in which case you'll be harder to hit
