ROOZ NEWS Season 15 Rd 7 Spa Francorchamps Enduro (part 2)

​

Welcome to part 2 of the League racing enduro event held at Spa Francorchamps. In this part, we will bring you the full Division 4 report, with wraps of the Division 5 and 6 events.

​

Here is the Division 4 report, brought to you... by me.


Grid: BLINDMANRACING, DoogleDave, Ad2mny, disturboed, Kart-No-1, X-3vi1m00n, K1W1-DRIVER, molch_82, Dbn26, emmo46.

A mix up with the qualifying meant a rolling start was necessary to re-organise the order.


BLINDMANRACING spinning out of the lead, losing positions to DoogleDave, disturboed and Ad2mny. After he rcovered he was in 7th just ahead of emmo46.


disturboed took the lead Lap 3.

Lap 4, Ad2mny spun exiting Stavelot. By the time he recovered and could rejoin the track safely, he was in 9th.

DoogleDave retook the lead with a bold move around the outside of the final chicane lap 5. BLINDMANRACING had battled his way up to 5th but was struggling to find hs way past X-3vi1m00n.

Lap 6 saw Doogle dave DSC from the lead near Blanchimont. Bad luck there. disturboed now had a nearly 9 second lead over molch_82, with X-3vi1m00n and BLINDMANRACING close behind. K1W1-DRIVER was leading the battle for 5th, consisting of emmo46, Dbn26 and Ad2mny. Kart-No-1 was struggling a little in last place.


emmo46 spun at Pouhon, then again at Les Fagnes, dropping back to last behind Kart-No-1. molch_82 got little loose exiting the final chicane, dropping from 2nd to 4th

K1W1-DRIVER was the first to pit lap 8. BLINDMANRACING DSC'd this lap near Rivage. Bad luck for him as well.


Dbn26 got a huge tank slapper turning in to turn 18, running wide on exit and allowing Ad2mny up to 4th. Dbn26 recovered just behind Kart-No-1 for 6th.

Next to stop lap 9 was X-3vi1m00n and molch_82 and Kart-No-1. Dbn26 pitted lap 10, while disturboed, Ad2mny and emmo46 pitted lap 11.

The field was mostly very spread out now, with the exception of Ad2mny and Dbn, who were running nose to tail after Ad2mny overfuelled and wasted too much time in the pits.


Lap 12, Kart-No-1 ran wide at turn 16, spinning into the barrier and bouncing back onto the track. Ad2mny and Dbn26 had to take evasive action as they came across a smoke filled track.

Lap 15, molch_82 had been closing slowly on X-3vi1m00n, and the latter ran a little wide on entry to Pouhon, sliding on the grass and ending facing the wrong way. molch_82 slowed drastically to avoid a collision and then slipped past into 2nd.

Lap 16, and the pitstops began again. K1W1-DRIVER was first in again. molch_82 had a massive spin this lap, running up onto the astro-turf at Les Fagnes and losing the rear, giving back 2nd place to X-3vi1m00n. Dbn26 pitted lap 17, as did Kart-No-1. X-3vi1m00n pitted lap 18, while molch_82 and Ad2mny dove in lap 20. disturboed pitted next lap.

Half distance race order was:

disturboed, X-3vilmoon +18.5, K1W1-DRIVER +5.6, Dbn26 +14, Ad2mny +10.1, molch_82 +4.5, emmo46 +6.9 and Kart-No-1 +3.7.

Lap 21, Kart-No-1 had closed right up on emmo46, who then pitted end of the lap.

Lap 25, K1W1-DRIVER and Dbn26 pitted for the third time, and X-3vilm00n pitted next lap, as did Kart-No-1.


Lap 26, molch_82 ran wide exiting Les Combes, and K1W1-DRIVER had to take avoiding action, running out wide onto the grass himself, but slowing to avoid a spin. As they both recovered, Dbn26 had joined onto their rears. Dbn moved up to 5th ahead of molch_82 at Les Fagnes, who seemed to be struggling a little.

X-3vi1m00n in 3rd was closing slowly on Ad2mny in 2nd, and by lap 27 he was within reach. X-3vi1m00n on his fresher tyres was making short work of Ad2mny in the corners, but Ad2mny wasnt giving up 2nd place easy. Lap 29, X-3vi1m00n was right on top of Ad2mny at Les Combes, and tried a move around the outside but had to back off to avoid contact, losing a lot of ground, but quickly making it up again in the turns, making the pass stick at Les Fagnes. Ad2mny pitted end of the lap, overfuelling again and losing time. A quick dash to the toilet also messed up his stop, as his car was on track for 3 seconds before he regained control. He was now in 6th.

disturboed pitted lap 31 for the final time, as did molch_82. emmo46 spun at Stavelot, losing a place to Kart-No-1. He then pitted lap 32. Dbn26 pitted lap 33. X-3vi1m00n took his final stop lap 34, as did K1W1-DRIVER and Kart-No-1.

So with 6 laps to go, the field was pretty spread out still. disturboed had a nearly 40 second lead on X-3vi1m00n, who was 10 seconds ahead of Ad2mny in 3rd. Dbn26 was a further 15 seconds back, with K1W1-DRIVER 6.5 seconds back. Molch was trailing by nearly 19 seconds, Kart-No-1 47 seconds behind, with emmo 4.5 seconds back in last position.

emmo46 got past Kart-No-1 as he ran wide at Les Fagnes, touching the ripples and spinning.

Lap 40, Ad2mny was getting too low on fuel to do 2 laps, so dove into the pits, dropping off the podium back to 5th place. Dbn should have done the same, as by mid lap on the final lap, the gauge was showing empty, and he ran out at Les Fagnes, gifting his third place to K1W1-DRIVER.


disturboed finished with quite an impressive lead in the end, followed home by X-3vi1m00n and K1W1-DRIVER.

Final Finishing positions:

disturboed, X-3vi1m00n, K1W1-DRIVER, Ad2mny, molch_82, Dbn26, emmo46 and Kart-No-1.



Race Quotes:

disturboed (1st) : Good race for me this week. From dead last previous round to top step of the podium this week, although a slightly hollow victory with the 2 top contenders dropping out of the race early on, but a win is a win is a win, and I'll take it. Qualified in 4th spot which was ok, but I was hoping for another spot or two further up the grid. Took off with the rolling restart and got muscled back a spot by Kart in the first chicane, but he went off soon after so I was back into 4th. Drafted past Ad on the first straight after Eau Rouge, & then Blindman had an off, so I was able to latch onto Dave by the end of lap 2. A much faster run through Eau Rouge for me saw me pass Dave before the chicane. I led for the next few laps then had a braking mistake into the bustop which let Dave through. I wasn't too concerned, I just had to stay within a second or two of him. Then the very next lap (lap 6) on the right hander before the back straight, his car went off into the sand, I though he went wide and understeered off, but then a few seconds later he was disconnected. Bugger, was looking forward to that duel. I kept an eye on Blindman who was making his way back up the field, but 2 laps later, he was gone too! From this point on, it was relatively lonely for me as I just concetrated on trying to make the end mistake free. I originally planned for an opening stint of 10 laps on the softs, then 9 laps on softs, followed by 2 stints of 11 laps on the mediums. But when I had done my first stint, I looked at my times and thought, bugger it, I'm changing to 3 x soft stints of 10 laps each and the final on mediums. Managed to grab the fastest lap of 2.07.091 on my 3rd soft stint, I was trying my hardest to break that 2.06 barrier. Great seasons racing guys, as usual. Thanks to Dbn for hosting and Evil for his backup hosting. See you next season!

K1W1-DRIVER (3rd) : Thanks guys for last nights restart, I wanted a chance at the third place on the championship but Turbo was way to fast for me, good job Turbo and congratulations on your third place finish in the championship, also to Dave and Blindman. I hope you lot all move up a division and give me and others a chance of first place finish. Was happy with my race all went fairly close to plan except for the start. Have enjoyed the racing and think I've learnt abit. A big thanks to the guys who put the time in setting up the events and for race reports. Looking forward to next season racing.

Ad2mny (4th) : POOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!! Had my strategy down and all. Could do 11 laps on softs no problem, so it was just the mediums stint I was worried about. Had a stupid spin on the back straight in my first stint and had to wait forever for everyone to pass before I could get back on track. I used my mediums on my second stint and started to struggle from the 7th lap on them. I think it was kiwi catching up and I blinked on lap 8 and pitted. That stuffed it for me. Evil caught up to me near the end of my second last stint and I fought tooth and nail to hold on to second but he found a way through when I ran too hot into the right hander at start of back straight. By this stage I could barely sit still, needing a toilet stop real bad, and I dove in lap 30, chose to fully fuel and sprinted for the loo. When I came back to the rig I was just rolling around the last part of the pits, but by the time I got my hands and feet in position I had been coasting for about 3 seconds and I knew I wouldn't see evil again now. He pitted couple of laps later and sure enough he was a fair way ahead. I was hoping for a spin when I started doing some calculations and realised, like Tokyo, I was gonna come up a lap short on fuel. DAMMIT!!! Dek (Dbn26) and kiwi passed as I pitted lap 39 and I dropped back to 5th. I put 20 litres in and started praying for a miracle. Dek ran out of fuel at the start of the back straight, gifting me 4th but kiwi had no such bad luck, and I had to settle for 4th. Well done turbo, only saw you for the first few laps, was secretly hoping you'd have an early spin like before the restart (lol) but too good. Was hoping for a podium at least and was gutted I messed up my pit stops. No one to blame but me. Well done evil and kiwi.

Dbn26 (6th) : Had a good race, knew I didn't have the outright pace to outrun Dave etc,so I worked on stopping for as short a time as possible, but unfortunately I was about 1litre short on each pitstop and ran out exiting Blanchimon on the last lap while running P3. Did some pretty consistent stints which really pulled me up the order by the final stint, about 20secs behind 2nd, so without my spin in front of Ad, I might've been looking at P2 (too much looking behind, lol) I shouldn't have worried about him as I was at the end of my stint & Ad the beginning. Really enjoyed passing molch into Les Fagnes on lap26, a genuine outbraking pass that anyone would be proud of. Congrats to Dave on the championship & Turbo for the win. Look forward to Season 3!!!

emmo46 (7th) : Congratulations to Disturboed for a good win, I can't believe he lapped me, there have been times where I have raced wheel to wheel with Turbo and Evil and now there lapping me??. I don't know if everyone else has got faster or I have got slower, hopefully next season's car will allow me to at least keep up with the pack. I qualified last but quickly made up places in both the original start and the restart. In the restart I climbed to 5th because of DSCs and others spinning, I was hoping to get amongst the good placings by doing a 3 stopper. That came unstuck when my right rear tyre touched a blade of grass and sent me spinning into the wall, two more spins trying to get this %$#%% car going again put me in a solid last. I carried on with my strategy and then noticed that Kart was on a four stopper and that I got ahead of him after he had pitted twice to my once, everybody else was able to pit and come out well ahead of me so I knew Kart was the only one in range. Before my second stop I had a quick spin again and Kart was ahead before I pitted. I needed to make up that distance. After we had completed all our stops Kart came out of the pits just ahead and it was a race to the finish. I tried as hard as I could but couldn't gain and I think I actually lost a little bit. But then he spun and I got ahead of him as he came back on track. I was then the hunted but he spun again on the run to the bus stop and that sealed last place for him. The only other interest I had was trying not to get lapped. Disturboed was more than half a lap ahead before half race distance so I knew I had to push. Unfortunately he got me and then I was pushing to keep ahead of 2nd placed Evil which I just managed. I am tentatively looking forward to next season, there are quicker guys than me that will be coming up from DIV 5 and maybe even from DIV 6 so unless the car suits me I wont be anywhere near the pointy end again.

Kart-No-1 (8th) : Wow, was so good to have some cars behind me for a change, even if it was for a short while. The highlight of the season for me, qualifying 5th. Such a pity I couldn't back it up with a good race as I was soon back in my usual spot. Too many errors and excursions off the track. Watching the replay this morning, was so funny seeing all the cars bunny hopping around the track on the roll up to the start. Well done to the podium, real shame about Doogle and Blindman. I think it will really hurt Blindman's championship as thats now 3 races he has missed and probably cost him second place. Better luck next time mate.

BLINDMANRACING (9th-DSC) : Well what can I say my very first season of online racing and I couldn't ask for anything more. Great bunch of people in the rooz organisation to talk to practise and race with. Division 4 guys thank you very much for letting me race with you this season! Well done to Turbo for taking out the final race of the season. Being computer/ps dumb I had to call my old mate rob aka kart no 1 and introduced him to rooz to help me with the settings and getting up and running thanks mate. My final race for div4 started out well with pole over Doogle Dave, any time you get pole over Dave you are pushing the limits thanks for the great races Dave and congrats on the div 4 championship. Kiwi was getting better every race and will be a force next season. Ad2mny, molch, evil, emmo, Dek, going back through some of the replays you guys are tight great racing, and my old mate kart you have your new wheel now and I know you are going to get a win next season just remember 4 beers is the magic # for sprint racing. Cheers guys. Race ya later BLINDMANRACING!

DoogleDave (10th-DSC) : Congrats to Turbo on taking out the final race of the season. From the little I saw you early on (before I DSC'd) you had some real good pace going and I knew you would yet again be up the pointy end of the race. I only have one word to sum up last night's race - GUTTED. I knew I couldn't lose the championship, which perhaps took a bit of the pressure off and I could strap in and really enjoy this race, so I was going into the final round hoping to finish off how I had started the season. I had done some extensive practice over the weekend and had really picked up my times (managing to hit several low 06's when I had my mojo flowing), and even managed a couple of 07's on the RM's.
I had my pit strategy down pat so all I had to do was race my own race again and try to work my way to the front and then keep that position. I managed to set a decent time in qualifying with a 2.06.9xx but knew I could go faster, though I just couldn't manage it when I needed to and Blindman brought out a ripper of a lap with a 2.06.7xx to take pole. Off P2 on the grid I was feeling confident and knew it was all about consistency this round, which I knew I could do. I got off to a reasonable start and made a great inside slide through turn 1 to take Blindman on the inside and with the help of a small bump from behind I was off and down the straight towards Eau Rouge, with Blindman right on my tail. I made a good run through Eau Rouge which saw me stay ahead by the end of the straight. I started to create a small gap when I heard Dek (Dbn26) over the mic saying that there'd been some issues and we were going to restart the race. I was a little bummed that my great start would be in vain but if I could do it once I could do it again. As we re-entered the race and saw we weren't in the right positions the rolling start was decided and formed. I made sure I was right up behind Blindman for the start and when we got going again I managed a good start again and followed Blindman around for a couple of laps, not wanting to push too hard too early. A few laps in Blindman got it sideways and went off into the wall and I passed by which saw me assume the lead. I pushed on and noticed behind me that Turbo was coming up fast. I didn't want to worry too much as it was very early in the race so tried to keep my calm and drove my own race, not pushing my tyres too hard early in the stint. My strategy was to pit at the end of lap 10 and take on RS tyres again, which I would then try for fastest lap and several hot laps to either catch leaders in front of me or increase the gap, should I have been in front. Coming through lap 6 I was feeling good and the car was doing just what it had been in practice. Turbo looked to have a small incident coming out of Stavelot and I pushed on slowly making the first real gap of the race. Lap 7 began and I had a great run through turn 1 to a clear track ahead and before I knew it I was facing a black screen telling me I'd been DSC'd. The colourful language that went through my head I cannot repeat here but I was not a happy camper to put it mildly. It was still early in the race and anything could have happened but from the position I was in at the time I was feeling reasonably confident I would be right up there at the end - but it was not to be. I jumped back online on the small chance the whole room had DSC'd and the race would be restarted but when I managed to get back on I saw the race was still going so I exited and called it a night. Not long after I saw Blindman's post in the shoutbox that he had also DSC'd, along with others from several divisions - yet more casualties from the PD servers. I felt bad for Blindman as this DSC may affect his championship standings so was thankful for my position. Reflecting on my efforts this season, with a much cooler head than last night, I am pleased as punch with my performances and feel I have really improved throughout the season, in a car that was quick to pick you up for any small errors. Congrats has to go out to Blindman and Turbo for their great efforts throughout the season and for pushing me as hard as they did. If you both manage to stay in Div 4 for next season then I look forward to reading about your (no doubt) epic battles ahead for season 3 - and if you happen to come up to Div 3 with me then I look forward to racing you again next season. Thanks goes out to all Div 4 drivers for making my time there welcoming and fun and I look forward to mixing it with you guys again whenever we get the chance .

Congratulations DoogleDave on your championship win, 4 wins and 2 podiums. This round the only round off the podium. Well done disturboed for the race victory and fastest lap. Well done also to X-3vi1m00n and K1W1-DRIVER for rounding out the podium.

Now we will move on to Division 5:


Final Results:



1st ranok3n: Well what can I say. This has been a cracker season guys! Well done to each and every one of you for committing to racing and showing up every week. It's been a pleasure banging wheels with all of you and you have all definitely given me some great battles to remember! Congrats again to BJ for taking out the Div5 title! Congrats to Peter Wise/Copper for sealing 2nd place! If only I managed to grab fastest lap tonight, according to my calculations, I would have gotten that 1 point I needed to take 2nd by count back. Congrats also to VARDZ for rounding out the podium. You easily had the pace to take the win tonight, but I guess it wasn't to be. I came into tonight's race with a bit of apprehension. My pace was terrible during practice, only managing a PB of 2.09 once and more often than not, running in the 11's and 12's.
I kind of resigned myself to being lapped especially after hearing from Vardz the other night that he was able to hit 2.07's! So I was very surprised that I was able to steal Pole on the very last lap (again!) with a 2.10.554. The start went well. I held 1st until the 1st corner, but held the outside line as I knew some of the guys would try and dive inside. Quite a few of the guys actually passed me but seemed to get caught up with each other on the exit, I managed to avoid everyone and continued on with Jako taking the lead. Halfway through the lap, copper managed to pass me, which didn't really bother me at this stage as I knew it was going to be a very long race and there was no point chewing the tyres up this early on. So I settled in behind Jako and copper and we started pulling a gap on 4th place. Jako was able to hold onto the lead until the last corner of lap 6, where he lost the front and spun, ending up right in front of me. Having nowhere to go, I swung my Macca to the right, slamming into the rear of his car. Fortunately for me, it was a fairly low speed crash and I didn't receive any damage. Whilst all this was happening, Vardz managed to sneak up on all of us and take advantage of the situation, taking 2nd after copper, with me trailing a few seconds behind. Vardz then took the lead on lap 8 and held position until the first round of pit stops on lap 11 with me following him in. Copper inherited the lead as he decided to pit the following lap. As I came into the pits, I was going to put on RM's but right as the menu came up I was stepping on the accelerator and pressed ok! This put me on RS for the next stint but it wasn't too much of an issue as I had another 2 stops to readjust my strategy. With the first rounds of stops taken, the positions were as follows: VARDZ, ranok3n, copper, JAKO, Castro, homebrew. Vardz relinquished P1 on lap 15 when he spun, letting me take the reins for a couple of laps until I also lost my cool, swapping positions again in a duel that would continue on throughout the entire 41 laps. Copper was a distant 3rd after his 1st pitstop but managed to string together an impressive number of laps to slowly reel me and Vardz in. Our second pitstop would have been quite comical any other day, but was a real OMGWTFBBQ moment I would say for both me and Vardz. As he entered the pits, Vards ended up spinning into the entry, getting his car wedged and blocking the already narrow road! As I was right on his bumper coming in, I smashed right into him! I put the car in reverse thinking I will reverse back onto track and continue on another lap to wait for the entry to clear up again, but then thought better of it and chucked in back in 1st and aimed for the nose of Vardz's car. Thankfully there was enough force to unwedge his car and allow him to continue on. This little blunder allowed copper to come right back onto our tails after his stop on lap 23. Our 3rd stint was very much like our 2nd, with myself (RM), Vardz (RM?) and copper (RS?) all sticking to one another. A few mistakes from Vardz saw him lose a bit of time after his last stop and as me and copper came in on the same lap, I ended up doing the exact same thing and pressed the accelerator as the menu came up again! This time it screwed me over as it meant I was running 2 stints on RM! As we both left the pits, it soon become very obvious that this little mistake had just cost me a very good chance of another race win. Considering the appalling effort from my side at Tokyo, I was absolutely gutted! I resigned myself to 2nd as I slowly watched copper pull away at around 1s a lap and short of a spin from him, there was nothing I could do about it. On lap 35 fortune seemed to come my way as copper managed to spin! I think it was on the straight after Eau Rouge?
I gladly took the lead but knew I had to hold my nerves and put down as fast a lap as I dared to as I could see both copper and Vardz slowly catching up. I was hoping both of them would waste those precious seconds fighting with each other, but Vardz managed to get by cleanly and fast enough not to lose any time and on lap 39 and 40, was right up my arse with copper right there hoping for easy pickings. Knowing their tyres would be losing their grip, I started hugging the racing line even tighter and driving very defensively and almost slowing to a halt at the last chicane to try and wash off as much of their speed as I could. Thankfully, whatever I was doing worked and on the last lap, I believe their tyres got the best of them as it gifted me a much needed breather to bring the car home safely and take my 2nd win of the season. This race is by far the best race I've had here at ROOZ. My first race win with the pressure that BJ put on me was actually nothing when compared to this enduro. From the get go it was all guns blazing with 1st, 2nd and 3rd all within 2 seconds of each other until the first rounds of stops. The 2nd and 3rd stint was much the same, but the gap growing a little to 4 or 5 seconds. The largest gap I remember was about 7 seconds, and even then that only last for a few corners and the gap was reduced back to 5 seconds or so. This was literally a battle from start to finish and it couldn't have been a better way to sign off from Season 2. Farewell Macca.... I hope to never have to drive you again! lol

2nd copperj32 : Well, What a cracker of a race. Thought I had pole but once again ranok stole it on the last lap. Didn't get off the line very well and allowed jako through on the inside into turn 1. Bit of door banging with ranok through the first turn and he came out the victor in P2 with jako leading. I ran wide into turn 12 allowing vardz to slingshot past into 4th. Vardz lost it on the high speed turn 18 and went crashing into the wall and I gladly took 3rd back. By lap 2 Jako was leading , ranok 2nd, myself in 3rd and vardz in 4th. We all seemed to be staying within 1 to 2 seconds of each other. I managed to get past ranok on lap 4 at the chicane with a dive up the inside, Jako spun himself on the exit of the chicane at the end of lap 6 and I took the lead on lap 7. Vardz managed to climb his way back to 2nd and got past me at 18 and took the lead going into lap 8. 1st pit stop was coming up and both vardz and ranok pitted on lap 11. I went one extra lap and pitted on 12 for mediums. Came out of the pits in 3rd with ranok 2nd and Vardz in 1st. I assumed they both put softs on again as I was losing about 1-2 seconds a lap but I knew that they had to put mediums on for their next stint. By the time they pitted on lap 21 they had about a 23 second gap on me, I pitted at lap 23 and put softs back on and had about 21 seconds to make up but I knew I had better grip . By lap 31 I was back in the fight with only 4.3 seconds between me and 1st. Vardz pitted on lap 31 putting him back to 3rd while ranok charged on in 1st with me close behind, We both pitted on lap 32 and I managed to jump ranok in the pit stop by taking on a bit less fuel (What was I thinking after last week) and came out in 1st. Then on lap 35 I ran wide coming out of turn 1, got on the grass and spun into the wall . I knew ranok was close so I waited until he cleared me so I didn't hit him as I re-entered the track, this allowed Vardz to get a little bit closer than I wanted. Vardz got past me and took P2 on lap 37 with a dive under brakes into turn 7. I diced with him for a few corners but just couldn't get past, meanwhile ranok is increasing his lead ever so slightly. By the last lap we had the gap to Ranok down to 1 second and closing. From 3rd I could see Vardz trying everything to get past ranok and I was waiting for the smallest mistake from them so I could slide on by. Vardz managed to overcook it into turn 16 and gifting me 2nd position. I did think I was going to run out of fuel on that last lap as the needle was on empty and I must of been sniffing fumes but I made it. That was the most intense race of the season and the most enjoyable . Thanks to everyone for showing up each week and having a crack. Well done to BJ for taking the championship and to ranok on 2nd. I'm extremely happy where I finished as I did not expect to do this well in my debut season. So looking forward to Season 3 . Thanks to Stu, Anon, Ad2mny, emmo, hatfield and all the other mods /testers that put these races together and also to the sponsors for awesome prizes. Thanks to all that have offered advice and tips along the way.

5th JAKO155 : Congrats to Bruce for taking out the championship, and Congrats to @SuiCid3 (ranok3n) for Graduating to Division 4. Its been a pleasure Racing with all of you guys and Huge thanks to @stucar17 for making this Championship Event Possible! Cyas Next Season.

What a great start to the championship bjh1012 had, winning the first 4 rounds with 3 poles and 4 fastest laps. To have won the championship just showing up 'in spirit' for the final rounds is an accomplishment in itself, and the respect shown by the other drivers here, to consent to this arrangement, again shows the reverance for Bruce in this division and indeed the entire forum. R.I.P Champion. Congratulations also to ranok3n, with his pole position and victory sealing his 2nd place in the championship. Well done also to copperj32 and VARDZ31 for the final podium places.

Finally we come to Division 6:





Congratulations CPTNPEACH for taking out the championship, with 4 wins, a podium, 3 poles and 4 fastest laps, you were very dominant in this division. Congratulations also to Pykeybraa145 for winning this round, and well done also to neemo55 and Patg65 for the final podium positions.

I'd just Like to take a moment to mention all the hard work put in for this season by our ROOZ race reporters. Those that have stepped up before and those that still are doing these reports that so many of you appreciate are the only ones that realise exactly how much effort and your own personal time you must commit to bringing these races to life for those that were not there. Soon we hope to be able to bring you, the readers, video reports for some of the divisions, but that is still in the pipeworks ATM but how great would that be?! LESS TYPING YAY!!

Anyway, big thanks to our Season 2 reporters (in alphabetical order): bjh1012, @Blindman @Clevohead @colin-50_ @DoogleDave @Greasy07 @Hatfield @N64TheStig007 @PurpleDog @smokinscotty @stucar17 @t_b_williams @VARDZ @warrior2167

What a team. Well done guys.

So that's Season 2 over, some great battles and victories, as well as some disappointments from DSC's and all sorts of PD issues, and a car that to start with seemed ok but in the end will most likely be sold off for the cash as I doubt many will want to drive it again!!

See you next time for Season 3
