I have now closed the signups as we have hit 20 drivers.
Im only planning on running one room as I know some people may not be able to make it on the day ect.
If there is more than 16 drivers is it passable I could get a Back Up host from the optional room B please. What we will do is just split the room on the night in too 2. I have a good idea who should be in what room so will be pretty easy to sort.
Cheers Lads.
Also a quick note on Handicaps. I will leave these optional on the night as with these cars and the race distance an handicap can actually help a driver due to the car been more stable and is a lot less likely to crash.
Where as a driver with no Aero or Handicap going at it 100% is a lot more likely to crash over the Hour and half. And if you get any sort of Aero damage on these kiss you top end good bye!
Yeah was thinking that. Do a reverse grid slower guys at the front and do roll offs.
If we do it this way we can do a few seconds + per car
Good idea but how do you set up the order of the race? Theres different ways to do that of course but one way would be to encourage people to vote on the slowest to fastest participants in this thread, That would be fair and comes with the added bonus that more members have the opportunity to embarrass others vs. the same old people doing it all the time...Its tiring be an arsehole all the time let me tell ya. I am however, willing to start the list
Shit, just built and painted a car. Maybe next time. I'll keep an eye on the thread. Havent been racing or posting much with he new baby and all. I'm interested if it opens up again.
A privateer from Middle East, who tried some laps at Le Mans made a astonishing and somehow expensive experience. He drove his Holden into the pits, because he needed to go to the toilet and after he came back ….. the car wasn’t there anymore. He asked JDANKERT and his crew, but the answer wasn’t what he expected:
“No, we saw nothing. Only a lonely walking man, but we don’t know him or recognized him and we don’t know, wether he is or is not involved. Sorry.”
Later in the evening there was a little fight behind the pit, as one JDRT mechanic told the privateer, that it isn’t a very cool idea, to leave such a car alone, but that it won’t be problem for him as “oil price bandit” to buy a new one. Nobody was bad injured.
JDANKERT: “My mechanic spoke out HIS words. Those are not our team ones.”
It is thought that MPR have signed a driver in a Ford Falcon to run alongside their Holdens. DriveBy had contacted MPR late last night and a short meeting was held with Petronas to discuss the deal. Petronas was quoted in saying that they wanted their livery on a Ford and this was the opportunity to do so with MPR. MaxPerforma was questioned as he was leaving his offices early this morning. He confirmed the signing in saying "DriveBy approached MPR, he is a good solid driver which the team can benefit from. We now have 2 good consistent drivers to run with me in this race, we should do well. We received his Falcon this morning and is in the paint booth as we speak"
In other news, eyewitnesses have come forward this morning saying they had seen a shifty looking Irishman flashing a Press badge in the pits yesterday after a Holden went missing. 1 eyewitness said "he was making a point of showing his Press badge to everyone, then seemed to hang around not doing much" when asked why he thought the stranger looked suspicious he said "he was showing a Press badge but had no camera!!"
Weather reports for the race look good so far with a light breeze.

When questioned, ROFL/LMAO CEO/CDO Oldschool said he noticed an odd looking gent in knee socks hanging around the pits...
Oh and as for the whole unknown guy in the pits thing.....yea I saw him, and he said he'd kill my family if I didn't look away. I didn't believe a word he said because not only is he an Irishman, but he was in a drunken stooper and had blood on his forehead from falling into the pit wall. I figured he was just here for the event and got too drunk, what's the harm? Didn't realize someone else would leave A CAR RUNNING while running in to "use the toilet", yea, right, in your bra. You were at the bar first buddy. FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK on public roads.........
As for drivebye, a big welcome to the team. LETS GET DRUNK!
I know, right? Im rather touched that he likes my driving skills. I guess I better shut up before he takes everything back. No take backs max. Starting here.
That is great ink nice work
Did a second version undecieded. Thanks for the comments !
I like to blue. Makes it pop :-)
I like the blue but put the wheels back to black. Either way, That is excellent work!
I agree with Grim. Either black or a dark grey, or even chrome might look nice for the rims.
Yeah, more blue on the car looks great, but black wheels! Great work Ink!
Amazing work, I agree with the rest of the guys, definately black rims, the blue works really well 10/10
Updated ,updated version with black rims, larger lettering and blue spoiler lip. I'm done. Thanks for the input.
Awesome work ink!

Church maybe a 2 second delay would be better

Who took my keys !........Fitzyyyyyyyyyyy !
Oh never mind I drive a Ford.
If anyone recognizes this car please contact me.
Fords n Holdens sporting the same livery...truly abominable...
It's me Oldschool you know I'll put a Castrol paint on any car.
I was just going to do a 1 lapper before the race and use Grid Ordering = Lobby Points Ascending
Shit, just built and painted a car. Maybe next time. I'll keep an eye on the thread. Havent been racing or posting much with he new baby and all. I'm interested if it opens up again.
Put me in on the backup list I guess. I'm late to the sign up once again, I've been without computer access for a few days...
