FINNCUP GOES TO SUMMER VACATION

This was something I never planned to do, but it might be for the best to all of us. I was left behind with my upcoming layout project schedule and the new LFS 0.6T update just got released with a new layout editor which caused me a lot of problems to get used to, meaning I can't finish the layouts in time. Instead of rushing and choosing poorly built layouts, I've decided to move AutoGlym Rally to somewhere in November so I can provide you high-quality layouts for the rest of the season.

I deeply apologize but I'm sure you all understand. Enjoy the summer, it's not going to last forever.

Another successful event is in the bag.

This has to be the tightest rally there's ever been. Under 1 second differences in both classes and congratulations to Gevin Peet & Mikael Gelin for their respectable victories.

I can now also pretty much confirm that the current Top 5 Junior drivers will be seen driving XRT's next year.

Don't forget that the Event is tonight in few hours. I have also updated the start list. There will be no stream though.

Just got home from work with some stuff still to day - can't make it this time.

Black Rocket Rally is over. 36 cars in total and 3 of them were driving for the first time.

Group-F
Gevin Peet extends his lead to 11 Points. This means that Aatu Viljakainen is out of the championship battle and the battle is now between The 2-Time champion and the Challenger, Eetu Marjamäki. No changes in Team Points.

Juniors
Not many changes in the points here. Pieter Soetaert moves from 7th to 6th. Top 7 will likely drive XRT next year. Big maybe for 8th & 9th.

Next Rally is Lapua Rally. 17.10.2018!

I will make a new Thread dedicated to the FinnCup 2019 Rally Championship.

Where's my "at least you tried" award? 7 rallies,no points...
Couldn't join last 3 for various reasons.

Well I hope you're more lucky next year. I've made multiple rule changes, such as Top 10 will gain points now instead of Top 8 and if you roll your car, you get another chance to continue the rally.

Here's the Group Photo we take after every season.

Last but definitely not least, FinnCup Crash Special 2018. Enjoy.
