    Thanks Jono for doing the series. Was nice driving all the different cars, I think some of those seasons/events would have been heaps of fun. I really didnt get a chance to practice at all which showed, as Im someone who needs to do a billion laps ;)

    Ditto, except it was my first ;)

    Was really struggling for concentration yesterday, as it had already been a massive day for me with the family. I accidentally tapped someone on t3 or t4?, sorry about that. Think I had an off on over 150 different corners last night!

    First of all thanks for organising the series Jono had a great time getting to know the cars that the series has used over the years.

    I now know that I have some serious work to do to be able to concentrate for a sim race this long. I hit the wall both physically and mentally so many times after lap 5!!! I was absolutely wrecked by the end to say the least.

    Good series, just a shame there wasn't a full grid and all divs got involved..

    WD Mint for taking that one out.

    I had some pretty big lesson that race with Dan behind me, he showed me exactly what happens when I stuff a corner or just don't take a corner at the correct apex that would be that 2-5kph slower would come closing at a rate of knots... It really opened my eyes... Makes me want to relearn and have a new driving style... And that track is perfect for it...

    THanks for the clean racing lads was good fun! Putting 11laps down that places was hard work!

    I always find it funny how the grip level on a track can change from one room to the next. While practicing for this round, my times came down to the mid-19s, I even had one room where I ciuld do 15-16s. Last night it was awful! I had to push HARD to get into the 20s, and that wore my tyres so bad, I abandoned the 3lap strategy. I knew I was fast here, but the heat at home, sunburn, and the grip level made ut hard work. Homebrew gave me a good run for most of the race, I had trouble getting past backmarkers after my first stop, but after that, my strategy came into play. 2 fast laps and a shorter pitstop worked it's magic, and by the final stop, I was 40sec clear. Trying in vain to conserve tyres for the final 3laps, a couple of minor offs because that didn't work, saw me cross the line about 24sec ahead of homebrew for my first ROOZ-affiliated win!
    Huge thanks to Jono for the series, quality, not quantity, was the key.

    He would have had of been beaten by 2 position by footlong for him to take the championship over V8 which wasn't the case or finished 12th and scored only 8 points... any more than that with me not being available as was the case and he takes the title...so congratz V8

    @N64TheStig007 Iss it 1 point or 2 for FL?. How do I score CAGME7?? His race time is 4:36.842 behind MINT and that puts him 11th in the overall race behind Ad2. In gold he would be behind S43ved

    I apologise again for being a non starter for this race but I had family commitments and was in Fingal Bay for the week.
    Missing this double point race and still having to drop a round has seriously hurt my place in the championship.

    Despite being in the same room, Gold and Silver are still different, so i think he was behind S54VED because he is in Gold @N64TheStig007 can correct me if im wrong

    CAGM is still scored in GOLD, so behind S54ED. 2 points for FL.

    Without a doubt I would have came dead last in the gold room. Was using the Enduro as a means of getting some race time against the same guys I'll be racing in the HTO series and likely season 5. Was on controller in round one hence I didn't come last every race :D
