Id rather it be on Monday too. Then I am on X-Mas vacation

Yes...way too early. School/work for most of us.

@Taha: I said western hemisphere...

Nice, exclude all of the western hemisphere from the race...

Mr. K. O'Keefe is up for it. Sounds like a lot of fun. Is the 21st a Sunday?

Quote from dekojester :

I'll be doing up a regulations book after conversing with J@tko. We're going to use CTRA's, if memory serves. I believe we bumped the race forward to 19th December. But now thinking, Sunday might be better to get people in...might be hard on a Friday.

Im interested, but I think you guys should use MoE restrictions because they are made for the endurance races, CTRA GT2 restrictions are made for sprint race no more then 20 minutes.

Congratulations to both.

So far my best is a 1.32.1 but I think I could get more with a decent setup. Mine is just a FE3 set with gears from round 1, with a little bit of adjustment.

Or even K.O. Knockout chicane? :P

Quote from hypothraxer :

can You Post Your Split Times? I Seem To Be Unable To Get Below 45.80 (with A Race Setup).

10:89, 20.15

Just did a 44.67. Unofficial track record.

Im on now practicing.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

OK, after reflexion, I finally won't withdraw just because of that round. Sorry again for that, my connexion is very crappy, so it was really difficult to keep the control of the car, because it makes LFS very slow. But I think that on the next round, with 4 cars on the track, it will go better, even if it is on an autocross layout. So see you, and congrats to Taha and Kenneth.

Thanks, Glad your staying. Hopefully you can get up front with us in some of the following rounds

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Sorry guys, I just made pure crap tonight, my apologises for that. After the incident with #53 I saw that I am just a danger for the other drivers, so I'll probably withdraw after that. I'll give you a definitive answer tomorrow.

Are you the guy that I vented at ? Please do not exit because of that, I am sure you are fine.

Well..no I don't I guess. Maybe I can find a builder outside of the actual companies. Then I could buy the parts cheaper at either store

Thanks for your advise.
Kenneth
