[Peter Vuko]

Just sent my times in. Pretty happy - the car worked well in the wet. Another victory would be nice but J.B has been in good form.Hopefully more entries this time.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Forgot about this :s

I might do them tonight, but I'm also busy with Palmer Audi, Cliocup, RoC and I go back to college tomorrow :(

There isn't enough hours in the day!

I'll try and do it, but Splinter Cell and Project Gotham are currently ruling my life.

And another thing, are you aware of increasing the difficulty throughout the season. It was only 80% for the last round, and may have been 75% at the start, that i can't remember.

Have I really, Chris?
Thought it had been 85% throughout. Let me know if the competitors are getting in your way too much. We can abolish this rule with no problem....

[chrisfinch]

oh right, maybe I was just crazy. I have had no rpoblems with AI so far, but I shall see.

[tannat]

Times due today, guys...

Let me know if you needa na extension.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I might get them done this evening :up:

[tannat]

Deadline extended til Friday, as I got a bit carried away with Test Drive Le Mans over the past couple of days :D

[tannat]

Results sometime today gang!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Don't think my races went too well :( I'll be lucky to get 3 podiums.

I expect a Vuko whitewash here as he seems to be awsome in the wet.

[tannat]

Fairly dominant performance by Peter Vuko in the Alfa, winning handily over Tannat innthe Team EGG Vauxhall by over 3 seconds. Tannat narrowly squeaked out 2nd place over Jon Brown in the Alfa by 21/100ths of a second!! 4th went to BM followed by Chris Finch...

Peter Vuko atop the podium again, but in a much closer finish. The top 3 are separated by less than 1 second! At the line it is PV followed by teammate Jon Brown 79/100ths in arrears, who is closely pursued by Tannat another 17/100ths back. BM again takes 4th in the MG followed by Chris Finch in 5th.

By the way, guys, the manufacturer points have been revised. RaikRules once submitted a points tally which I accepted to be correct, but wwas actually incorrect. He had scored bothe Alfa Romeo teammates scoring points in races, where only the top finishing car is actually allowed to score points. The new revised, correct total appears above :)

[Brown, Jon Brow]

That was rubbish :(

I think I won at Silverstone a few weeks ago so hopefully I can win the Endruro :)

[Luffield]

I never had chance to go online before my holiday and missed the dates for this round, and seeing as I don't have a laptop and there was no phone in the cottage we were in I couldn't have raced anyhow.

Back to normal routines again now so i'll be in the next one mate. :up:
