Congrats to @JBR-Kiwi and @Greboth for providing a battle that went all the way to the wire. The Kiwi takes the title, although if it was just the best 9 races of 12 both would share honours, so well done ❤️ Some great racing from everyone, we all got to see @Mikepjbell up close and sometimes too personal, but also some really quality driving. @GazzaGarratt will need to try a bit harder if he's going to beat this committed cyclist who doesn't drive IRL 😅 Some drivers who will clearly threaten next season include @Lurch @Macca89 and @crispymorgan . None more so than possible team buddy @jordie1892 who will help me reach the summit of 3rd place 😍 @Teenwolf25 and @slamminbones will hopefully be on regularly and continue to improve. The CBA boys led by @LordBaguette also deserve special mention 🤪 Who knows, even @Diddums might pull his finger out of his arse next season with the right partner 😁 Position Driver Race 1 Race 2 Race 3 Race 4 Race 5 Race 6 Race 7 Race 8 Race 9 Race 10 Race 11 Race 12 Total Pts 1 JBR-Kiwi 20 20 25 20 25 20 20 20 25 25 25 25 270 2 Greboth 25 25 20 25 20 25 25 25 15 20 20 20 265 3 Mikepjbell 12 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 20 10 12 12 171 4 phil_oi 15 12 12 12 n/c 12 12 n/a 11 12 9 11 118 5 GazzaGarratt 9 11 10 8 12 DNF 4 10 12 9 15 15 115 6 Crispy 7 8 8 11 11 10 9 11 9 11 n/a n/a 95 7 slamminbones 8 10 7 10 10 9 5 8 7 7 8 n/a 89 8 JTLurch 11 n/a 11 n/a n/a n/a 10 9 n/a 15 10 10 76 9 TEENWOLF25 10 n/a 9 DNF n/a n/a 8 12 DNF n/a DNF n/a 39 10 MadTitan n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a DNF 6 n/a 8 8 DNF 9 31 11 Jordie n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 7 n/a 10 n/a 11 n/a 28 12 Lord Baguette n/a 9 DNF 9 n/a n/a DNF n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 18 13 Diddums n/a n/a n/a n/a 9 n/a n/a n/a 6 n/a n/a n/a 15 14 Misneach DNF n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a 0 GG all 🙂 Season 1 Driver Best 9/12 1 JBR-Kiwi 210 2 Greboth 210 3 Mikepjbell 137 4 phil_oi 109 5 GazzaGarratt 103 6 Crispy 88 7 slamminbones 77 8 JTLurch 76 9 TEENWOLF25 39 10 MadTitan 31 11 Jordie 28 12 Lord Baguette 18 13 Diddums 15 14 Misneach 0

So I've updated the rankings to include the last 2 league races. It's calculated on the last 20 races as this pretty much covers the whole Spring league but I'm open to change this number if people have a better idea. Where people haven't done 20 races, I've counted all the races they did enter. This gives the following ranking 1. Kiwi 2. Greboth 3. @Mikepjbell 4. Agent_gsv 5. James 6. @phil bottle 7. @Shucker 8. Jordie 9. Tom @LordBaguette 10. Rich @tronic44 11. Clive @Teenwolf25 12. Lee @GazzaGarratt 13. @Stretch616 14. Matt 15. @TonyAE86 16. @crispymorgan 17. Paul @slamminbones 18. Macca @Macca89 19. @Spacedeck 20. Gary @techno 21. Cal @TheMuggySpud I've tagged everyone so hopefully people will say if they will be making more races going forward but removing those who haven't done many races, running the teams as first & last, 2nd and 2nd last etc. It makes the preliminary teams; Team 1: Kiwi and Macca Team 2: Greboth and Paul Team 3: Mike and Crispy Team 4: James and Lee Team 5: Phil and Jordie This does depend on a few things like if Matt @Misneach_ is planning to make more races after his move? @jordie1892 are you still planning to make more races if we're doing teams? James @Lurch You've made quite a few races but not all of them so not sure if you want to commit to a team championship or not, and @JBR Kiwi You've mentioned a couple times about not being around for races going forward for obvious reason so unsure whether I should be including you. FG League Average(1).xlsx

First match in 15 months - shit result but it’s good to be back

Nah Lees shit, not worried

Fantastic season. I can't actually believe we've been racing in this for 3 whole months. Insane, especially more so because of how many of you all turned up most weeks. Having 10+ FGers on the track is so awesome and it adds to the unpredictability of the whole league. I'm also proud that whilst we all had our own bumps and bruises through the weeks, we really didn't get at each other and showed that you can have a decent mini league and have a good laugh along the way. I doubt most places could do that. Huge kudos has to go to @phil bottle for arranging everything and pushing out races each week. It really helped keep the momentum going even through your busy spells outside of gaming. Well done @JBR-Kiwi for winning a super tight league and great job by @Greboth doing some awesome driving right down to the wire, not to mention his awesome articles that really brought the evenings to life. Let's hope this is the first of many now we have a lot of people really interested in what we're doing and see some of the promising improvements that many have made keep continuing. We could all be extremely closer next time! Oh, and don't worry Phil, I now know not to mess about with the wheel if I don't need to..those last few weeks can stay in your mind as a lovely memory for next season 😄😘

There's so many variables, it's incredibly difficult to account for everything. I put it down to the @GazzaGarratt controller/wheel conundrum!😂

In the, I think 4, races you both finished you did beat Lee in 1 race. So in those 4 races, Lee has a better average than you but his average gets dragged down through all the other races as he had some shockers. That probably does mean Lee should rank above you as he beat you in 75% of races you both entered. But without doing some horrendously complex comparison of how often each of us beat everyone else that I've got no idea how to do - I can't think of a better way than the way I did it.

I'm unable to participate in anything like this due to work but appreciate the tag.

That list will be accurate as no N300 cars have been added since then as far as I'm aware. So, I'd say forget about N300 as not enough choice. From the top list there's a dozen decent manufacturers and we can remove the worst ones when you do the 'draw' or or whatever way is decided.

There may be a couple missing as the resource I found was from Nov 2020... Full list of manufacturers with GR3 and GR4 options: Full list of manufacturers with GR3, GR4 and N 300 options:

Great to see more fans at the grounds. Makes sucha adifference and will be interesting to see how players perform with them at the crowds now.

I've watched that @phil bottle and now I feel the same 😄

As promised in my introduction, I have set up a new anime thread for any and all discussions about anime shows past, present and future 🎉 To get the ball rolling, what are everyone's s top 5 anime shows? I'm talking about the ones you can rewatch again and again, the ones you show your friends to share the joy... That kinda thing... I'll start 😊 1 Death Note 2 Black Butler 3 Ouran Highschool Host Club 4 Pandora Hearts 5 Rosario x Vampire

The full list https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/products/gtsport/carlist/ In the 2 minutes I tried, I couldn't get it to paste in to Excel correctly. I did find a list I could but it only covers 280 of the 320 cars in the game. This gives the below Edit: Whoops didn't realise there was a page 3 and this had already been answered - derp!

Looking at my shifts it's the last 2 Thursdays of June I'm unavailable as I won't be home till 22.20/22.30 that is if we switch to a Thursday.

I'm all in for next season! Though don't recall ever finishing ahead of @GazzaGarratt in a race 🤔😂 Think all looks pretty fair based from the current list we know will be participating. As Lee said having people miss the occasional race will be unavoidable, so we can only do our best here. Currently still awaiting confirmation either way from the following list. Think we should call 24th May the cut off so we have time to prepare. @Shucker @LordBaguette @tronic44 @Agent_gsv (don't know the forum name😂 @Teenwolf25 @Stretch616 @Misneach_ @TonyAE86 @Spacedeck @techno @TheMuggySpud @Findmartin @Diddums ----- Think that about covers it: - I figure we should give free reign rather than preselecting the manufacturers, just gives the teams more options! I'm assuming the manufacturer would need GR2, GR3, GR4, possibly a lower category if there are enough options? I can take a look at options after work tonight. - I can randomize the draft order on Monday once teams are absolutely final using https://wheelofnames.com/ - Think deciding on the races is better suited to either yourself or @phil bottle

Just listing down some things that need working out still: - Choose which manufacturers will be used - Names in a hat selection for manufacturers - Decide on races - Decide on rules for races and teams - Decide on dates Anything else I've not considered?

Yeah there's enough decent manufacturers that no team will be lumbered with a shit one. I agree with pairing up those who don't make every week. Hopefully enough ppl state their intentions so we know the score. @jordie1892 and @Mikepjbell are you planning to set up the race schedule and weekly calendar for this too? If not, let me know as soon as possible.

It’s got a lot of suspense up until the end of the 3rd area. After that, there’s little jump scares but nothing that would freak you out.

I believe that’s the plan. I think Jordie’s idea is that each team has a different manufacturer. With the teams being drawn from a hat to decide the order we get to choose a manufacturer.

Team Crispy Bells

Dammit, both Team Grebones and Team Slamminboth are such good names too 😞

Days Gone PC version

Played a couple of hours so far and it seems a solid port which is great plus it looks fantastic!

Definitely down for this but June is practically out for me as I will double check but Thursdays are my over time days which I can change after June then I think end of July and maybe a week in August as I should be on holiday. Will get the dates and double check.

I’m 1260 something but will be on the grind to get as close to 1300 as I can but I’ll be up for a run at the new VoG.

I've played battlefield every time i put on the PlayStation 😂 I've no desire to play thats what the problem is . Of course ganging up with you feckers is always a bonus ❤

5/18/2021 Workout 15 minute AMRAP 10 Ring Rows 20 Box Jumps 25 Jack Knives 1 minute ring hold Thoughts: Haven't done a 5AM session in a while. I got really used to not waking up at 4:30AM. At least there was a little crack of sunrise when I was getting to the gym... made it seem less... terrible. Nice, standard HIIT session.. with one really terrible "movement"... and I use that term lightly. Fun fact for those who don't know, CrossFit's foundations are gymnastics based. However, very few places actually incorporate gymnastic moves anymore. So, seeing the "1 minute ring hold" on the board.. I thought, "well, this is terrible. At least I'll be working on my grip strength, I guess." Obviously, I had to scale the ring holds. The amount of stabilization needed, I just don't have. Even the newbie, who actually did gymnastics and might be from Russia(?), said that going straight to ring holds is difficult. They would start people on bars since those don't move as much. It was a good session. Definitely a good choice in movements as I get back into it after 2 weeks out and after the minor surgery. Going again tomorrow for some 21 minute EMOM... I'll probably cry inside lol. But, I won't cry as much as I will during Thursday's 45-minute rowing session. Yay, cardio? 😛

Sky Sports etc have been trying to get him out of Spurs since his first season, all these media outlets do is stir shit relentlessly. If Harry does go, good luck to him, a player of his quality deserves to be in the Champions league every season. Hope St Pauli buy him 🙏 😅

Got to feel for brentford 9 times in a row in the play offs breaking the record not sure who held it before but there's no other club more deserving to be promoted.

Harry Kane tells Spurs he wants to leave and I can’t see them standing in his way this year. Probably be the best for all parties.

I've only just watched this now 🤣 and now i'm hyped. He already has the vibe that he could take the mantle of being the main hero to lead the next phase of Superheroes imo and its been far too long for a Martial Arts master to come on to our screens and blow us away. If its has the mix of the best Asian and Western films combined with the budget of Marvel, we should be in for a real treat.

Absolutely mate. Trying to rediscover the love of gaming ... again 😢😂😂
