Yep folks an inbetweeny race this weekend it's a MAD SURVIVAL SPECIAL
No practice on the tracks, no sneak previews, we're racing blind. To top it all one track this week is THREE MINUTES A LAP! the other is THREE AND A HALF MINUTES! So the races are 6 or 7 laps.
your in for a treat!
Obviously no points awarded to the winner it's just a pride thing.
Season 2 will start the following weekend.

No previews or practice? So the track comes on at 9pm (dutch time ) exactly? But the challenge server must open earlier right? _________________

The challenge server will fire up about 7.30UK time with some speed tracks for practice...
The first race will be a fast track with lap times around 3:30 it will be 7 laps 25 minute race ish
The interval warm up track will be a simple speed track
The second race will be a more stunty track with lap times around 3 minutes. It will be 7 laps so a 21 minute race
This means that the racing will start PROMPTLY without delays to ensure we are finished before 9pm UK time.
I am the only person to have seen the tracks and as such will probably give you all a head start and laugh at you falling off in fonrt of me. because of the no practice allowed, I'm expecting a high drop out rate.
Enjoy. |

Will it be in Laps mode though? Knowing you, I expect tracks to end mid-air.. |

tracks to end mid air .. .. I'm not that evil.
The tracks are both racable and not at all built to catch you out... much. |

I hate blind corners

So that was it
First race really cool. Had some battles with a lot players. Thanks to a lot drop outs I came in 2nd after all
Second track was cooler, harder. First crash was at the little blind jump, but rerighted. So had to drive a bit again and was 11th then. Then 2 spectators totally threw me off, dunno who, but was close to a recovery point. Then Medi decided to annoy me (beetje jammer ) so lost a few places to Tred and Invictus and a few more. Then finally I truely blew it when I was about 6th. ^^ _________________
