We've been pretty silent here on the forums all the time. Haven't even introduced ourselves for the community properly, so here it comes.
flash-racing
History:
Flash-racing was established in autumn 2007 by Petteri Heinonen (LFSW: Saerki) and Marcus Seppälä (LFSW: Meicci). At the start it wasn’t really very easy to find loyal members but after month or two, we recruited Matt Wiseman (LFSW: SuperHans). He was great addition to the team. He also brought his friend Banzai99 with him. Then we realised out that there’s GTR-challenge named IGTC. We applied to join the league but got suspected for not having enough skill. We got invited in test race and proved ourselves there. When the season started, we were very worried about having not much time for practising enough due to summer holiday. Unfortunately Matt had absolutely no time for training and we had to quit IGTC. However CoRe|DWB said that we have a place in IGTC in future when we have enough time. Petteri and Marcus applied for racing with BF1 at oneGP. Race one went well until they collided into each other. Then both went on holidays and we had to announce that Flash-racing doesn’t have enough time racing in oneGP. At the end of summer holiday we met some potential Flash-members. First new recruit was, another Flying Finn, Sami Harju (LFSW: _Samppa_). He has great racing skills and probably becomes even faster in future. Then we scouted Adam Bradshaw (LFSW: creativesurgeon) for a while. When he showed the potentiality of joining our organisation, he got recruited. Later on we found out that he could make our website, and already he had private server. Unfortunately storm-servers announced closure and we had to order new server from 500 servers. Our latest recruit, again Finnish racer, Ville Vihervuori (LFSW: villu) showed great potential of driving fast with FOX and now he is a member of flash-racing. We are now racing in GTAL and hope that most members get endurance racing experience there and then possibly apply for MoE.
We're still searching for few more experienced drivers, mostly for GTR-endurance racing. Apply via PM here on forums if you think you meet the requirements.
You have to be consistent and fast.
You have to have S2 license and considerable mileage.
You must have potentiality and willing to become better.
You must be pretty active. (no-one needs driver once a month)
You have to be the Mr. Nice guy.
League racing experience is big +
Voicecom programs should be not a problem for you.
You have to behave in respecive manners within races online and of course here on forums.
That's it for the introduction thing. Flash-racing wishes everyone crashless and happy online racing-action.
Flash-racing could replace kyotoracing's unfortunate drawback, if that is just possible. League-experience includes igtc season 2. Info coming if joining is anywhat possible.

This race was a total disaster for flash-racing. Quali went "mid", 1.08.21 and 9th position on grid. I went off for action itself, i spun four times, flipped once and came back to wheels. Then on lap 47 it happened, i flipped and couldn't recover I think i didn't train enough with the wind settings. Sorry if i hit anyone
Qualifying went greatly for flash, starting from 6th place. Then it was time for race, at the start, i lost one place in t1, then everything went clearly until at the lap three, i lost control in last corner, fell two places, now we were 9th. On lap 34, i was overtaking pernix team, again on last corner, when the pernix got too slow speed on it, maybe gap was 10km/h. He turned into the corner with outer line, with me in inner line, and got out of the corner on normal line, bumping me a bit, i lost few places there.
At lap 40 it was time for my break, and M.Wiseman's turn. He drove first laps quite slowly, getting feeling about left-handed wheel. (he's british) He was in one big accident which put in SC, but still, when it was time for change again, at lap 78, he came in at 16th place, and we decided to put too much fuel on the last stint, thats where i began to lose on straigths. Still i managed to climb two places and flash-racing finished it's 1st endurance race on 14th place, we were quite happy, knowing we could've climbed to the top 7th with a better 1st stint.
SC periods weren't so bad at all, no-one hitted me from back, and i didn't hit anyone
Hoping to race on this season's "real races"
