You mean mean person mad.... I for one won't be having any time to practice on the tracks then....
Oh, and please make sure we start on time tonight - the RFR GP starts at 23:00 BST, and I'd like to be there at least 10 mins before the start |

well that was 2 very good races for me. the first i was chasing all the way to the end but the second was by far the best i have done. dont think the start could have gone any worse than it did and i think i was last by about the 4th lap then i stopped hitting things and manage to get 2nd. steve was just too fast and very good race to tred, you pushed me to the line. |

I must say i'm pretty happy
First, for the first race of course. Some, beeing ironic, could say "what a surprise"... But yes, what a surprise actually.
Earlier in the evening, during the "warm up" i was ahead Madman for only 00.00.01, that was very close and hard to keeo the first place.
Then, the race it self. It was a lot of pressure. I know people like Tred, Steve, Virus, Madman, Retoon, ... are faster than i am usually.
If i won, i think it's not because i'm good or because i know the track very well (of course it helped a lot) but i was lucky above all.
As i am lucky to race with so nice guys as you are all.
Second race was far far far away from my expecting (in the good way). I though i would have to fight for a top ten, as usual, but i lead the race for a few laps, then i fighted to keep my second place for some other laps.
I finally ended 4th (3rd on the podium because Tred left early, thanks buddy ) but that was a great result considering the opponments.
...Well, beeing so lucky in game.. i guess i can expect my girlfriend to let me down quite soon. |

Allow me to bring up the important subject of tracks for next weekend. May I suggest Jumping GP by MrA? And does anybody feel brave enough to try a Thunder Looper GP? _________________

First race was great. After reading Pepper's story I still think it's not a surprise you won there I ended up fifth after some cool battles (CRJ, ff, putsku, Steve.. no not Steve, he wanted to be last or something ^^). Great driving by Pepper, but also Tred, retoon and RF Aso there.

Can't say much about the second race as Ive only driven one round Although I was first during the entire first lap, messed up just before start/finish and I became like 5th immediately. And that was it >.<
Great driving by retoon, Tred and Pep over both races . |

Thanks a lot for these pictures Moldo
Tred already left for the second one, but he was 3rd. I wasn't on the podium but the race was an intense fight all long. Great experience |

Hehe, pep was going too fast and i was trying to keep up, i could for about one lap, but then i would crash because i was trying to go too fast. Dont know how pep kept that up. So i dropped back hoping to find someone to race, first tred went past, and went speeding off, then i thought i would race retoon for a while, but he just went speeding past aswell. So i ended up 8th Well played pep
In the 2nd GP, pep did a similar thing to me, i got a small lead, and pep was in 2nd, and then started crashing so he dropped back aswell
The GP is getting more and more popular People seem to like 2200.
Another thing, retoon helped himself to more than his fair share of points that night, 68 and 81 and the 73 or 74 in thewarm up |

Can i attempt to clear up the times.
GMT - Greenwich Mean Time. GMT. Standard time for everyone.
BST - British Summer Time. GMT +1. We are currently in BST, changes back to GMT 28th october.
Central European Time - GMT +2 atm. Your +2 on GMT and +1 on BST.
From there, you can work out what time zone your in, and how many hours your in front or behind
Hope this helps the confuzzed amongst us
If anything is wrong, please say or change it. |

So, those who are in GMT+2 atm, will be in GMT+1 the 28th of october and that will be BST ? or the BST will be actual BST, -1 and so we will stil be in BST+1...
Thanks for the link Tred |
