Phenomenal Racers

I feel like Schumacher, coming back after a few years of crashing motorbikes and sipping tea on the ranch. Phenomenal Racers returns for an attempt at mid-lobby glory in 2013.

If you're reading this, the odds are, by now, that you will have never raced me before. So be nice, and put up with general quips such as ''I remember the days when we only had two lobbies'', and ''Forza 2 was so much better online''..

For the fact that I'll be touring Europe during the first part of the GT season, I've had to resign from the GT team headed by Nick. And since he doesn't have a page for his own team, I'm doing it here.

Ferrari 458, wicked paint job, and your team mates will be lfcnicklfc, silentalarm42 and Duke of Bruno.

If you've raced against a Stobart SEAT before, then you've been at TORA for a looooong time!

2012 beckons, the harsh winter is almost over! On March 6th, the all new for 2012 Phenomenal Racers team (under the Team Vodafone banner) will take to the track in Japan.

2012 is to provide one of the biggest shake ups in recent years. The successful formula of the 2011 season has been carried over, but 2012 sees a move to Forza Motorsport 4, and with that comes changes to the cars behaviour, a larger grid, and many many brand new cars, including the successors to the ever dependable 2006 Ford Focus ST and the always popular line up of Honda models, and brand new for 2012 models from...

After a fantastic 2011 season, I'm pleased to tell you all that we are back for 2012.

In 2011, we entered a new partnership with VW, running the Golf. In this season we recorded many wins and even scored our first ever drivers title in an extremely controversial and thrilling final meeting in Arizona.

For 2012, we don't want to change too much, so we will be continuing with the VW programme with the same VW Golf.

This particular off-season is the hardest to judge, as the change from Forza 3 to Forza 4 has shaken up the order. In 2012, there are many new drivers...

For the 2012 season, I will not be able to race due to other commitments on a Tuesday evening, but I would quite like to keep the Phenomenal name in the TCC and play team manager for a season, so any interested drivers, please PM me.

If more than expected show an interest, I'll run a trial night to see who's right for the team. Drivers that get a spot on the team will be provided with a tune, a car, and a livery.

ISCC Asia: Oreca FLM

Once again, a bit of in-depth footage from my point of view! Tonight it's my start from 10th to 6th. The waters seemed to part for me!

Who wants to drive with me for the GT24?

How much chaos can you cause with one touch?

This:

Hey folks, me jumping onto this bandwagon of reflective blogging. I'll make it short though, mainly because I don't have pretty pictures to show off. So, in the true spirit of a Geography exam, i'm bullet-pointing this one down!

- Ferrari 458 Challenge - Finding the car tough to get to grips with, disappointing run at Indy, finished much further down the grid than I would have liked to, thanks to a massive crash coming off the banking in race 1.. Not sure whether I want to continue with it because driving that car is like a dull pain in the bollocks (for me anyway).

- Abarth...

After 125 miles of wheel to wheel racing...


YES!

Well, the team has completed the move to Forza 4 land, and is settling in nicely. So far we've done some Abarth racing under the guise of Team Sinead O'Conner.

Well, I say ''we've'', I really mean ''I've''.

Yes. Phenomenal Racers currently has ONE driver, me. Bloody me. Even I wouldn't recruit me, i'm lazy, inconsistent, and generally rubbish most of the time.

So, if you want to join Phenomenal Racers, whether you have raced for us before, or have not raced for us before, then please let me know. I ideally want a loose roster of drivers that I know will be...

Sedona was the backdrop for tonight's final TCC race meeting of the year, and TORA's final race on Forza Motorsport 3. A returning Nick Moore made a guest appearance in the second VW Golf to support Nicky's ballance as he tried to reach the top of the Touring Car cupboard (with Ian close behind) where the Touring Car crown was waiting to be snatched!

The team ended up scoring a third (I think..) 1-2 finish of the season in race 2. Nicky came close to a win in race 3 but was denied after the M&M Racing Acura RSX of Ian Marr seemed to plow straight into the back of the Phenomenal VW...

Yes, Phenomenal Racers will have its own little Weebly corner of the web soon, i'll release a link in the coming weeks.

Its basically just a place to keep our teams results, news, photos and videos without having to scavenge through the forums to find them.

Its also going to be a place where I do a small blog about Motorsport and Online Motorsport, so stay well and truly tuned!

Phenomenal Racers will be withdrawing from the remainder of the 2011 TCC season. A number of factors have led to this, mostly the fact that I, personally, can use the time during the Tuesday evening for Uni work, the fact that my microsoft wheel has broken, which compromises my speed greatly.

The final factor which led to this decision is of course the recent news of the loss of silentalarm42 to ATR. I had hoped that he would have formed the centre of a new team of drivers to close out the season and get Phenomenal its best Teams championship result since 2008/2009 (i.e, FIRST!). ...

For the TCC, we are going to have a brand spanking new livery for Iberia. Pictures will be up soon, with the car sporting its brand new ''Reynholm Industries'' backing!

Reynholm Industries was founded by ground-breaking businessman Denholm Reynholm, with nothing but a simple dream, and 6 million pounds. After quickly growing from its humble beginnings, Reynholm Industries now employs hundreds of...

A fantastic performance in tonights TORA TCC meeting at the Silverstone National circuit has promoted us into first place in the teams standings ahead of M&M Racing, while ATR Honda drop back into GRP Motorsport's clutches.

Ruairidh was the fastest of the two VW Golf's in qualifying, out-qualifying teammate Nicky by thousandths of a second, locking out the Third row as an all-VW Third row.

Number One driver Nick Moore was absent, for personal reasons, so it was up to the two Glaswegians to take the fight to the awesome pace of Dan Austins, Owner/Driver of the leading ATR Honda...

Last nights ISCC race was... well... alright. The Porsche was all over the place. Limited running for myself meant that the car was just no good at all. Wobbly arse, especially though the kink and under braking into the tight sections. A close race with Chad ended in a close, but clumsy finish, with my car being the last of the finishers, in 16th place. I'll be looking to make some improvements for the next race in Florida.

Looking forward to tomorrow nights Touring Car meet, the three car team have been bang on the pace, but so has everyone else! Silverstone is going to be very...

Well, what a fantastic night we had! We finally got Ruairidh in a car, at very short notice before qualifying, his reputation as a fast driver in the PTCC was sure lived up to in tonight's Forza event.

A solid Qualifying put the Hexis Volkswagen Golfs of Myself, Nick and Ruairidh in 3rd, 4th and 8th respectively, with Megatech newcomer Ruairidh taking the pole in the always frantic and competitive B Lobby. I missed out on a front row slot by around three thousandths of a second... damn.

In each race, a Megatech VW driver was to be found on the podium, in both A and B lobbies....
