Season 12 - Division 3

A quick fix @Easyprey007 is to swap the clutch potenti.. with the one for the brake.

Just a clarification request on the quitting rules, mainly for those who suffer the misfortune of a disconnect.

If say in a 20 lap race, someone parks up on lap 10 for whatever reason. Then on lap 15 someone else disconnects completely by surprise. Do they get placed behind the parker (as mentioned above), or as they have effectively completed more laps, placed ahead of the parker and behind the full race finishers?

A huge Thankyou to @NAACS for giving me a brand new Pontentiometer. Ill fit it today and do some practice tonight.

Great, just great. Now i'll have @Easyprey007 to battle as well. Thanks very much @NAACS

Lucky, myself, hat, nige, benny. Are all dropping down to race with you this week incey.

You need to race faster guys to improve @Knuckles

Fear not @incey . It is a little known fact that @NAACS is the senior Australian representative and Chief Ambassador for Bastards Inc!!

He might be the Chief Ambassador at least he is a good mate...

Hi guys and gals don't usually put on thread my oppion on the race but would like to say after qualifying was dreading first lap but apart from one really minor incident and loss of three places started to settle down to race my own times but firtune smiled upon me @incey & @azzbang started a squabble that made me decide to pit at the end of lap 12 to try undercut this worked excellently undercut three drivers. Was felling really chuffed with myself new I couldn't catch podium driver so decided to settle down to consolidate what I had gained but then disaster my right leg gave out for about a lap starting at last corner lasting for about a lap and a half disappointment lost what I had gained thought about quitting for good but no up front of me a glimmer of hope @azzbang & @incey we're squabbling again I'd try one more last ditch effort to grab a position. Yes it was now pain in leg forgotten time to reach down into myself and race. Wow really enjoyed it took the position from @incey by .006 of a second all in all thoroughly enjoyed the race thank you @incey @azzbang for a enjoyable race. Wolfy

nice work wolfy, gotta love those on the line position gains!

For me, surprisingly I qualified 2nd, dropping into the 32's for the first time.

I knew the race for me was going to be tough, but I was just able to hang onto Poppin in front for a couple of laps, but I was being chased hard, and sure enough it didn't take long for Emmo to come on through after I put in 2 really really pathetic laps (2 seconds off pace), really it was disgraceful on my part, especially on relatively fresh rubber. Tried to hang off the back of Emmo and I was planning a end of lap 12 pit stop to try an undercut, but meanwhile Moon was steaming up bringing Aranteamo (I think) with him. My tyres were starting to go off and I didn't make it hard for Moon to get past as he obviously had more pace. I dropped back a second or two over 2nd & 3rd and then come end lap 12, I decided to go around again as I though if my front left was already on 5 after 12 laps, imagine what it would be after 16! Next lap, emmo & moon pitted so I went around again to avoid pit lane congestion delays. I noted that quite a few others also pitted.

I ended up pitting end of lap 14, and was able to make a bigger gap back to 5th. From this point on, I just watched the top 3 sail off into the distance while I kept an eye on 5th spot making sure they weren't closing in on me. Finished 4th, so within my top 5 goal for this track.

Well done to Poppin, just way to fast, over a second a lap faster in race pace. Also good work to Emmo & Moon for the podium.

Fun Race last night. Thought that I would be able to pull out a better position but after some 1st lap blues and getting myself sandwiched toward the end of the first lap, which then put me a decent amount of time back and I suffered the consequences. I managed to qualify 8th and stay in that position for the rest of the race. Hopefully fortune will go my way next race. Oh wait! It's Brands Hatch Indy... Nevermind...

Well done Poppin. Looks like you'll be in div 2 in no time

I surprised myslef with a sub 33 qually but was even more surprised to see there was a 12 min qually. If I had realised what was going on I would have done qually a whole lot differently. I'm not sure the change from procedure was explained???
Anyway, I couldn't stay off the walls while I was following people and I did a lot of following. I'd like to think it was down to understeer in the draft but who knows. I drove pretty crap all night. Well done @POPPINFRESH1234 oon the dominate win, those lap times were crazy fast. emmo and moon must have went well to stay within 15 seconds.
I have a new drop round I guess is the best to come out of that. Thanks for the battle @WOLFYDADDY007 I dunno how you sent a double up shift to my gearbox at the crucial time but it saved your possie.

edit
after reading thru the DIV 1 thread I may have cut pit lines too. TBH i nearly missed the pits altogether going in and didn't even think about it going out. It'll suck if I get penalised after getting undercut.

There has always been a 10 minute qualifying time + some time for everyone to get on.

Pending protests...
