I forgot to say but Room A tonight Sim please. Your a Room A driver and are way way too fast for Room B. I say this because you are posting times faster than me :/
How come in room A I seem to get punted off the track so many times ? the last 4 races I have been knocked off the track by various cars..................c'mon fellas....give me a chance!........................................please
If you feel you’ve been unfairly punted because of poor driving submit a complaint to the stewards (me , Max and Church).
I reviewed the third race yesterday (all on my storefront) cause heading into the hairpin on lap one someone kept hitting the side of my car (I’m driving in a straight line mind you – I suppose curved because the track curves) eventually spinning me a little sideways which caused me to send you off the track. During the race and during my first review I thought what the fuck is SIM doing running into me here? Upon further review it’s extremely hard to tell who (if anyone) was at fault…if you watch us from the car directly behind us it looks pretty clear that SIM is running into Parcells but when you view from each of our cars it is near impossible to assign blame. Have a look and if you feel differently we can PM.
seriously...........it wasn't a go at any one IN PARTICULAR....it just seems that its a little too aggresive some times, but thats racing I suppose .I will back out of this series as I don't want to play catch up in each race.CheersSim
Dont back out Sim. The more you race in Room A the better you will get

I don't mind you running in Room B but doing what GRD has done and used a uncompetitive(ish) car.
In Room B with the Honda you are way too fast but if you used the KIA or a car like that it should put you in the mix with everyone else.
Room A by its nature is aggressive. Its a room Full of very quick drivers who take risks (Sometimes very very bad ones) but I don't see this changing anytime soon.
Anyhow its the first point drop this season so I will get cracking with Room B results. Room A is subject to investigation.

Lots of close racing again in Room with close competition everywhere in the field - congrats to winners General E Dead2 (x2) and Cherry BamBam. Replays have been uploaded to my storefront.
Sorry for not showing (room b) last night just got back with missus from long weekend away sounds like things turned out fine in room b.
Not so good in room A,Church......thats room A racing glad im in room B
It can and is a bit aggressive at times, even in B. Not bitching as I am far enough along to realize Im not racing my race. Im giving when I shouldn't give and not running my race. I will say congrats to the B winners and cheers to JDan. He and I were back and forth for 5 laps and he raced me clean the whole time!!
So far out of six races, I have had 1 good finish (5th in the last race). Four other races I was in 5th - 7th with minimal laps remaining only to be knocked out to the back of the pack (1 due to lag hit and three others to being knocked off the track unintentionally). Trying really hard to race clean and can only hope the results start to improve soon as it's very depressing to have good starts only to have the race go to shit.)

Same here grin. My luck this season is terrible. Hope we both do better this week :)

Same here. My car is garbage too. I'm going to sit the rest of this one out.
Fun racing with everyone in Room B. Congratulations to the Room B winners, they were just too fast for me to do anything about!
As for aggressive driving, I have certainly gave few and received few. Speaking for myself, the truths that I have learned are:
1. If someone is closing up on me, either I have made mistake(s) or I am slower, period. It's better to let the faster car go and avoid the likely contact.
2. If I am faster than the car in front of me, I can wait until an opportunity presents itself instead of forcing myself.
3. The race line ALWAYS belong to the car in front, as long as his/her bumper is in front of mine.
In the heat of the race, I frequently forget these rules but do try to keep reminding myself of someone else's fun I could be ruining. And I still run into others and I feel terrible everytime it happens. And frustrating as heck when it happens to me.
I've been in your situation many times before, Sim, and I do know how it feels. How about getting a different car then race in Room B? You know you are just too dang fast in Room B with your '07 Civic. Grab yourself a downtrodden car, race it up, then see if you can overcome the handicap. Otherwise, you could be missing out on a lot of fun.
Besides, we need something to do until FM5 is released . . . eh?
Thanks cherry and amber for ur kind words. Was surprised myself at how that went as found consistency difficult in the brief bit o practice I did.. My thanks as ever to Max at MPR for the excellent tune

LOL @ sim....FR inbound....had to clean friends list. Sorry Sim.
Not going to be back in time for tonite still travelling home :(
Gutted Stevie.
But it sure is going to mix Room B up!
Yeah well gutted love the btcc. But the missus had to offer to drop someone off not happy
Some insainly close racing in Room A tonight.
2nd to 6th in Race Two was covered by less than 100ft for half the race.
My Wix Audi really needs to stop getting in to problems. Although the car now has pace I need to convert this into results.
And keep of my fucking roof
The tune might change a few things, but the design will be the same.
Looking good fella!

Good racing indeed in Room B. Had some close side by side racing with XXcitement, derekthetree, Snoop, etc.
Motegi East . . . yuck!
Sorry did I forget to mention its also known as the Church line.
NGTC Room Results Below:
Seriously close shit!
Gunny, you needed to look further up the topic as he posted it on Monday.
Please oh please, can I have my 10% back? I worked hard for those 5th place finishes.
I 2nd xsitement's motion!
No problem, just thought having the correct handicap on the sheet would make it easier for the room host.
Yeah so you should be on 10%.gif "116")
Thanks Amber and a big shout out to General Lee ( ;) ) for his commanding performance yesterday. Quite impressive!
