We are at Sebring Full Circuit next week. We did a test after the race and even with the handicaps ect, it was real close and a very nice track to run on (Wide )
As always you have till this time tomorrow to PM me of any issues.
Next weeks track is very easy to run on so be sure to be there. And don't worry if you have missed a few races, as long you don't miss more than 9 races your will score points for every race you do.
Church, I'm sorry, but I'm finding it harder and harder to make any races at all recently, so I'm going to have to bow out of the 'FOR SURE' Room B slot and have to slide into the reserve slot. This series is alot of fun, so I don't want to ruin someone elses chances to be able to run a race because your waiting on me. But I will try my hardest to race with you guys. It was always a blast when I made it. Work and family time are taking up alot more of my time. And soon work will take up 7 days a week. I'll be lucky to make my own Evora T124 races. Thanks again Church for the fantastic series.

Hope everything sorts itself out and see you on track soon boss.
You can officially declare Parcells retired from this series. Was never overly fond of the later sunday evening start time and with the Leon Supercup races starting next week I'll be getting my sunday fix from that series so thanks and its been fun.

What happens last night?
You was online but away. Sent a few invites though.
Since that 1st corner incident was so bad I'll try and explain what happened. I noticed on launch that my TCS was on (from the V8 supercar series race).....My setup, line, strategy everything revolved around my BTCC car NOT having it on. I tested with it on on accident and it wasn't very good. I needed to be able to use the throttle to steer it in a couple key places.
Well during the strait away I had "ask them to restart so you can fix that", "crap what are you going to do", and then was trying to run the course through my mind and how I would adapt to the TCS being on.....OH shit too much thinking too little paying attention. I kinda ZONKED out.
Not sure If anyone heard it, as I shouted it out, but omg how bad was my driving. Started as first (zero handicap, all others had a handicap) and in each race I found myself at the back of the field after round 5 or 6. Aaaarrrrrgghhh.
Do you wanna read somthing funny? I had trained a lot and I improved my time all the time. At one stage I thought to myself "Well, that is a good lap time." And then? Sunday comes, first start in race one and I went wide in the first corner. Very fast, completely missing the breaking point. You know why? Because I had trained for some hours at Catalunya Grand Pric Circuit and not at Catalunya National!!!!!!!! Ooooh, damned,.........
Aaarggh! So. Three races, there times at the end, three times the slowest.
But I learned something: I have to train to control my emotions. If I am angry during the race, because someone tapped me very hard or I raced a trashed round, I loose so much concentration and try too hard to "come back", so I will make the next mistake. Hmmmm, I think I am far away from my design: I am not an "iceman".
@steviegers and @filthymonkey: Sorry, for my "lock up" and bringing you to a great save from a big wiggle. I didn't know until then, that I am able to hit two cars in row in one second!
For the next race I am not able to train at the wrong track, because I am not able to train anyway. So chances are good to get my "beloved" last place.
@jdan - I think you race well, I have followed behind you and it tends to be a mistake made by you that allows me to get past, I think consistency is what you might need to work on, I have been concentrating on my own consistency, I was able to win the first race last week not because I was the fastest (my fastest lap was some 2 seconds slower than the fastest set) but because I put in consistent laps. I think your right about emotions lol this can really mess with anyone's driving.
@Jdan keep at it you have improved so much over the last year. One of the problems I have is moving from diff cars I like to have time in a car but on Sundays we run 2 events and going from one car to the other realy fecks me up as I end up driving car 2 like car 1 that never works that's why I didn't run the v8s I stuck with the btcc and that has helped me. Not sure how ill get on now that the seat cup starts this week. And one last thing I really admire how you stick with RWD but I don't think you would be last if you used FWD iv been behind you when you have used FWD and I struggled to get past. I'm not keen on RWD ill only use them if I have to
I totally agree about not driving when your mad. That was the reason I left after the second restart of the first race. By that point my mind was no longer on racing and would have just been in the way.
@Jdan. The detail you put in to your cars is amazing! Just looking through the replays now and you have all the tracks listed on the back!
On another note. Just something to look for moving on to next week, If you go off please just ensure the track is clear before rejoining as it can casue some issues with other drivers losing places ect.

Forgot to turn off my machine from earlier testing.
Ok :-(
This is probably the only series I can run fairly regularly right now, either work or real life takes up the reat of my time these days.
That plus 2 boys and I can never get on the xbox half the time anyway!
