Yep folks an inbetweeny race this weekend it's a MAD SURVIVAL SPECIAL Smile

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! Twisted Evil 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.

Here's another early retirement. I'm having training for my new job tomorrow night, so won't be doing the GP.

No previews or practice? So the track comes on at 9pm (dutch time Razz) 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.

tracks to end mid air .. Twisted Evil .. I'm not that evil.

The tracks are both racable and not at all built to catch you out... much.

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 Very Happy

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 Razz) so lost a few places to Tred and Invictus and a few more. Then finally I truely blew it when I was about 6th. ^^
