Well done to all, another great season of racing and getting tighter all the time.
Personally, I'm never touching the Gr. 4 Nissan ever again, could not compete in that class at all but it was still a lot of fun trying to get the best out of it.
 
We'll have a few weeks of fun races before the next season starts and if anyone on PC fancies some Assetto Corsa I think we'll look to do something there as well.

Cheers @Greboth 😁
First race had a little battle with @jordie1892  only to push my self then ended up coming off the track.
The 2nd race I picked the wrong car should of got a decent position but due to picking wrong had to pit fuel which resulted in losing all the positions I climbed. 
Also love the livery that much thst I will keep using it in honour of team grebones. 
 

Winner winner chicken dinner! Congratulations to @slamminbones , great to win the team championship with you mate.  Team GreBones FTW!

So far, with the help of @GazzaGarratt @jordie1892  and @G_dub52  i have hit £165 already! With a few weeks still to go it would be amazing to hit my target of £500. It's for the Alzheimers Society which is an amazing cause. Every little counts towards the cause 🙂

I promised you all for a special update from the FGFGF on my recent update about summer improvements to FG, so here it is! Buckle in tight for this one 😄
 
As most of you will hopefully know by now, La @RenFengge has come into help me a huge amount of late and she found an opportunity within lockdown to do a few extra special gifts as we had a few generous people in FG that could contribute significantly to help make a few people smile.
 
First off, Bob @Baabcat  has been here for many years and we've seen him be amazing of late, trying super hard to help many of the Destiny 2 FGers get involved and put up many raids each and every week. Its crazy to think that after nearly 7 years of Destiny, the past 6-12 months is the most active it has ever been at FG with so many complete FG raids, dungeons and Nightfalls done with each other. A large part of this was down to Bob so we duly obliged when knowing Charlie @Venom  had a PS5 but his Dad didn't. After working out the logistics with Clive @Teenwolf25 , we informed Bob online how great he is and gave him a huge smile from the FGFGF with a new PS5.
 
Secondly, Gary @techno  has been a mainstay in FG for so many years and helping in areas that people really haven't seen before but he's always there to pick you up when you need it most. He always offers advice, even when you didn't realise it. It was about time this guy from 'up Norf' received something extra special, especially whilst he has to be ploughing money into huge alterations in house for his wife that has a degenerative disability. Thanks to a few more significant others, we were able to not give away one PS5, but two! (Logistical mare with how he got it but it was paid for nonetheless 😄).
 
A shipping problem lies with our merch currently, but i've managed to test a few new design hoodies out, finally sorting the last Xmas FGFGF giveaway present to @Dan94  and for all his continued efforts with his artwork and helping me significantly with his amazing Gran Turismo Articles, @Greboth received his own personalised hoodie.
 
Some also might not be aware but our beautiful Scottash @Nutcuttlit  had a horrible scare recently when his daughter was knocked over by a car. Whilst battered and bruised she soldiered on like how her Dad can be, so we thought we would send the best current release on Metacritic, a 2 player co-op game It Takes Two. Hopefully the smiles can keep wash away the bruises over time 😄
 
There was a few FG mugs given out too, @Findmartin  @TonyAE86  @Lurch  @Antpool84  to name just a few.
 
We're working quite hard to get some extra things to other FGers outside of the UK too. Its more of a logistical nightmare (and has been for a few years) but watch this space and we're extremely hopeful of doing further good things to keep people smiling around the world in the not too distant future.
 
Lastly, don't get take the next part lightly.
 
Thank You. ALL OF YOU people have shown you have the ability to keep making so many people smile and happy, especially when it hits some people's lives when they need it most. There's some of FGers out there that won't be named that are at their darkest points, and stuff like this - showing that you care for others at such a hard time for all of us - helps them realise life is worth living.
 
 
Keep giving when you can to make FGers smile. GGFG all ❤️
 

I've had a few practice laps, not looking too promising so far! Lots of tight corners in a heavy car unfortunately!

I drove both tracks while deciding fuel and tyre use etc have to hope for a good qualifying and then rely on blocking anyone from passing me...😁

I dunno, @jordie1892  was pretty effective helping me get a 3rd place finish last week 😅

Evening peeps. Do after a 3 year break I have decided it’s time for another charity walk. in an effort to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society on Saturday 11th September 2021 I will be walking from my home in Coventry to the Solutions Diverse head office in Kirkby Mallory via Hinckley, and back again via Nuneaton, totalling 36 miles, which should take roughly 12 hours. I am raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society as it is something that has affected my life as my Grandad suffered from it in his final years, and it is something that continues to affect countless people. I have created a Just  Giving page which is below and any and all donations are massively appreciated.

I'm one of those people everyone hates who'll pick up the new FIFA as soon as it comes out each year. Spend so much time playing it, that I don't have any qualms about paying the money each year.  If people still want to play clubs on 21 that's fine by me!

1 million percent this dude, totally agreeing with all of that! At the end of the day all of the additional stuff we do is for fun and cant ever feel like work. Yes, how I tackle quite few bits in FG is similar ways to my work mentality but if I can see a few people that are happy with it in the end then its worth it. FG has always been skewed in terms of effort in to how much benefit you get out of it...I think that's why we're unique cos some of us love just making one person happy for all the fancy fluff 😄
 
I think when we're in the moment of loving games and in that sweet spot many love that we get the extra stuff...but equally I know they'd rather not do it too! 🤣
 
I think we'll see what easy things I can come up with then and how easy/quick it is to create and share things which always add to our gaming sessions. I'd be lying if I wasn't proud that if I had a great night I could go back and see my name and stats in the team all shiny and shit - its kinda those moments that make us remember those games and laughs.
 
One thing you've said to me before is some of our mini moments are great and we should share on things like TikTok...so definitely gonna give that a whirl for us! Cheers for responding so quickly Jordie ❤

Well aware I'm putting my grumpy hat on with this...😅
 
Speaking solely from my perspective here, I don't know if the match reports/team sheets etc are worth the energy putting into them, unless it's something that someone particularly enjoys taking a handle of? I love getting games in with everybody regardless of how we play, it's a good little escape away from everything. When it turns to collecting stats and design work, it starts to sound more like work than fun, and that itself would be the cause of the burn out!
 
I'd be interested to know peoples genuine opinion on if they want to have the stats available to look at when they can't make it, or if team-sheets actually inspire people to get online and play, because otherwise it's adding stress to something quite simple for the sake of a picture people will glance at for a couple of secs and move on. 

I don't really see the point in stopping. If anyone needs a break or are away there's no obligation to come on, but I don't think we should be stopping Mondays for everybody! The fact we had a full team out of the blue on Monday shows there's still a lot of interest for people to play!

Had a blast, cheers guys!
 
Had some great battles with @Lurch and @crispymorgan , can see it being a tough season! I definitely need to get more race practice in, bottled it on a few occasions when coming close to others, particularly a big torpedo into James on the second race...

Highlight of the night was driving 2 inches behind Jordies rear bumper and watching him shit his pants and fall off the track.

@RenFengge watched The Tomorrow War two nights ago after we spoke here and I'm so glad I did. @jordie1892  nailed it when he said online that its a good, decent, traditional blockbuster movies, that most people would enjoy. Not incredible, but definitely a great watch - and Chris Pratt totally makes the film work, he's so bloody good getting these films to shine. And I agree with you that it felt like it kept going for another section, which was great!

Ok, so here's the provisional race calendar for the Summer Season. 
 
I've tried avoiding repeating tracks from Spring but a couple have snuck in.
 

Season_Week Track Class s1_wk1 TBC Gr.3 s1_wk2 Monza - No Chicane Gr.3 s1_wk3 Sardenga Track A Gr.3 s1_wk4 Blue Moon Speedway Gr.3 s1_wk5 Tsukuba Circuit Gr.4 s1_wk6 Suzuka Circuit Gr.4 s1_wk7 Sainte-Croix B Gr.3 s1_wk8 Nurburgring Gr.4 s1_wk9 Tokyo _ Wet Race Gr.3 s1_wk10 Mount Panorama Gr.3 s1_wk11 Goodwood Gr.4 s1_wk12 Circuit de la Sarthe Gr.3  
 
 

Latest car I've been working on. Just finished airbrushing this body for it. This car is an Arrma Felony and will do about 85mph. I've never been a fan of stock factory painted bodies so figured I'd airbrush a new body for this one so it looks as fast as it is capable of going.
 
 
 

Happy birthday @Plumbers Crack
 
And @jordie1892  too
 
Great weekend to celebrate another milestone and hopefully a week to remember a long time 🥳🥳🥳🥳😘😘😘😘

Yeah, happy birthday Jordie..have a good 'un
