I like that there's competition at different levels. The battle between you and Kiwi will feature all season, then myself, Mike and Lee, and with both of those two capable of the occasional challenge for first, I'll have my work cut out. As for the rest, everyone is improving and capable of hitting a podium place so could be all different by race 12 😉

Will definitely give it a look over the weekend before the sale ends!

We'll be doing the Nordschleife for race 2 this Tuesday but not decided which N class yet. Either N200 or make everyone do it in the VW van. Race 3 is open for requests.

Good race after a qualifying session of penalties leaving me lower on the order than I would expect. The Senna Esse at the beginning was a bit mental. I managed to take advantage, though I spun twice on the same corner on different laps and ruined my chances after finding myself in 2nd early on. I'll leave full report of the night of racing to Greboth but thanks all, really enjoyed it. Lago Maggiore GP circuit next week. I'll do the calendar for it this evening and update the league table too.

Less mouth and more driving from you please sir. Lol what am I asking and to whom? 😅😉

I'd settle for some honesty in the news but it's a propaganda tool for the folks at the top of the pyramid so i won't hold my breath 😁

We have 3 races on a Tuesday. One of the races is a league race and points are awarded. We've only had one league race so far. There will be 12 league races and final points are counted from 9 best results from those 12 races. So you're not disadvantaged missing one race. All race details are in calendar. Let us know and we can add you to the party.

Another great write up 🙂 The league was a really enjoyable race and not just because I didn't get booted up the arse.

I think I got this in a Humble Bundle last year and not sure if I ever added it to Steam. It is supposed to be a very good game, maybe time I checked it out.

I think it's on SyFy or whatever they call it now. Looks like the chap who was in the new Star Trek series, he should play Joker in Mass Effect but he's in a lot of stuff. Will check it out👍

Ask me which horse for the 2.30 at Haymarket and I'd be just as confused. Let us know how you get on, we might all learn something 🙂

The funny thing is, I suspect people have been doing this for centuries. In the 1800s the sending of moralistic letters to newspapers by people showing how moral they were to each other is even and mocked featured in David Copperfield by Dickens when he introduces Mrs Micawber. I love me some Dickens.

Points are listed in the Spring Season thread along with future race calendar. 5th place was excellent 🙂

What are peoples thoughts on having reverse grid order based on previous race, rather than qualifying?

Charlie was a Communist so probably not 😅

Thanks all for a great start to the Spring Season. Le Mans was tough and I'm looking forward to the @Grebothreview. Initial standings after race one below. I should also give @Misneach_ a shout as technical issues ruined his qualifying and he was unable to start the race, sorry man.

I don't know where you find these people James but I'll say this much. Amazon has some very shitty employment practices that actually have a material impact on many people's lives. So its a real shame the energy is not directed there, to things that actually matter.

Looking for something lightweight for myself and Mina to watch, we settled upon Cobra Kai. 5 episodes in, great decision. It's a lot of fun and very funny in some places. Some excellent references to the film and to the 1980s...and i think the writers are enjoying themselves with the script. Plus I'm getting drawn into the 'strike first' approach 😁

We're good at making the best of a bad situation, that's life in a nutshell I suppose. That doesn't mean we shouldn't demand the best or be satisfied when we are served shit.

I want a COD with Kowloon in it. COD died a long time ago for me, my tastes may have changed, although the new Modern Warfare was a step in the right direction (glad I didn't bother with Cold War however). I'm just hoping Battlefield returns to form rather than expecting anything decent from this dead horse.
