Yes - lots of fun in Room B this afternoon; congrats to all for great close quarters racing all round.
Sorry for the two bumps in race 2 Skiwi, felt really bad after the first one!
Vaguely remember some bumps but I was having too much fun to be concerned about them. The group was pretty closely matched so for me me it was neat to always have someone within a few hundred feet or less front or back as opposed to many thousands...
i wouldn't mind seeing it as well. I'd like to know what happened on that first lap. I came round the first bend after starting at the back to be greeted with about 5 cars in the middle of the track so apologies for everyone i hit! if it's any consulation it ruined my race as well! that's racing though!
I had huge fun in race 2 battling with hundredshrimp and stevie for the lead! thanks guys!
BTCC 2013 winner and last Sundays SLSC race winner signs JDRT contract
Another big deal for JDRT! Stevie signed up a regulary contract with JDRT. He will race in SLSC and probably in the upcoming Clio event as JDRT driver.
JDANKERT: “This deal, that this racer wants to be part of our team is a really great news. He helps me with his decision to forget my difficult results from Sunday. Aaaahh, I am so happy. Yeah!”

probably??? Stevie's hosting the Clio event so pretty sure he'll be participating and now you tell us its not guaranteed he's racing for his new team. How exciting, can't wait to see how it turns out.
The JDRT will leave Europe on tomorrow for the two races in Japan. The distance from London to Suzuka is 15053 km or 9353 miles. A typical flight between London to Suzuka would have a flying time of about 11 hours 46 mins. JDANKERT will make use of those hours for a general meeting, in which following topics are to be discussed:
(1) Actual situation of the team
((a)) Finance
((b)) Staff
(((1))) New members
(((2))) Job opportunities
((c)) Driver line up
(2) Sponsors

For Sunday’s SLSC the drivers from JDRT expect some good results, even if those Japanese tracks aren’t their favorite tracks. All drivers are fit and their cars are already in Japan. The first training will be on Thursday for tuning and optimizing the cars.
JDANKERT: “For me it is very important to see and learn, how my Seat reacts in those Suzuka turns. I am sure, that Church will built a great setup for me. With a little luck at the start, I think I am able to make some points for the team challenge.”
@parcells: Hmmmm .... marbles ..... hmmm ... the google translator doesn't work for that and my english either.
All I can say is, that I loose nothing, but win a lot. For example a good relationship with great guys.I don't know when and how, but I am willing to meet my team members in the real life too.
Tragedy? No, it won't happen, because all of this is virtual. And believe me, I know nearly all about tragedies, because I had enough really real ones.
But it is very interesting and somehow fascinating, how much work a team owner has to do. Since I am researching and "living" it, I better understand what job for example Norbert Haug and Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich are doing. With the internet as "global resource" it is unbelievable, what data you can find, if you invest a little bit time. There is always food for my creativity.
It is all about having fun and ........ for me it is better "to be a racing team owner", than to go into my lonely hotelroom and "to be a killer, soldier or superhero" in some kind of games, that I don't want my son to play.
If anyone thinks, that I am "crazy", doing these thing I do, anyone is right!
Each driver get 3 x lowest points removed from there final score.
This helps if you have to miss a weekend. If you don't miss a weekend your lowest 3 race results are removed from the finial AVG for each driver.
In answer to your question Seeker, the dashes just show the race the points where removed from. As the Excel sheet wont count a dash in the AVG column it saves just leaving it blank.
No worries snoop these things happen hope it didn't mess your race boss :)
didnt mess up mine buddy, couldnt get past 8th anyways
Some good action fellas!

Had a blast in room B. Full room most races, with close laps times, made for some tight racing.

@aquiel that looked like a lag spike that started all that, the black car seemed to go sideways making contact with the car inside him.
Yep, looks like a lag. Black car = Gunny, inside car = me.gif "63")
@parcells: Uppps. Sorry! My bad english. He will FOR SURE start in the Clio Cup as JDRT driver. You will also race a Clio?
Would be nice to have something like that for our SLSC, but my graphic skills are very limited.

I'm thinking team JDan's owner is losing his marbles all the while building a formidable race team worthy of respect. This can only end in tragedy
@parcells: Hmmmm .... marbles ..... hmmm ... the google translator doesn't work for that and my english either..gif "80")
All I can say is, that I loose nothing, but win a lot. For example a good relationship with great guys..gif "138")
I don't know when and how, but I am willing to meet my team members in the real life too.
Tragedy? No, it won't happen, because all of this is virtual. And believe me, I know nearly all about tragedies, because I had enough really real ones..gif "65")
But it is very interesting and somehow fascinating, how much work a team owner has to do.

@parcells: I suppose you are a Whisky drinker, right? Okay, I drink one or two with you! Again: Don't know when and how, but I am willing to!
What are the new dash lines in the points grid?
Each driver get 3 x lowest points removed from there final score.
This helps if you have to miss a weekend. If you don't miss a weekend your lowest 3 race results are removed from the finial AVG for each driver.
In answer to your question Seeker, the dashes just show the race the points where removed from. As the Excel sheet wont count a dash in the AVG column it saves just leaving it blank.
Hope that helps
