Both round 1 replays are on my storefront now, enjoy.  

Great first round! Thanks to everyone! already looking forward to the next round!

sorry i couldn't make it guys but my sister was still asleep where my xbox is set up
Hope it was great racing

^ I'd say that you missed out, as most everyone found themselves battling someone most of the time. Heck, after he pitted, for a few laps I had a decent scrap with Mad Dog.

As for myself, I had a horrible start as I got spun on the first lap of Race 1, but I ended up picking up spots the whole meeting. From last to 11th in R1, then from 10th to 5th in R2.

You're a quick and reliable one. Thanks!

I got R1 posted to my storefront, but had a XBox freeze keep my from posting R2.

I really enjoyed the racing! Although I seemed to be in no-mans land most of the time in both races   I did my best to keep up with Mad Dog in the first race, but he's just to quick for me.. I think Jabberwockies was sandbagging the first race... as he was also too quick for me in the second race. I need to start working on my standing start.   Lost two places, although I managed to get Maynard back within two laps. Now to start practising on Silverstone.   

^ You found some impressive pace in that Datsun. I had figured I would be battling with you, but you disappeared off into the distance in short order.

Great shots Zeta!

I especially like this one, as it looks like I am giving a fight to Mad Dog...

Just to let you know the Bratley Sport Team points are wrong, youve used my points instead of dinosilenzi's. Thanks

We'll get that sorted, thanks.

For a while you actually were

Might sound a wee bit stupid but I don't know what sandbagging is! Im assuming its nothing like teabagging! but in the first race I wasn't doing it,whatever it is! was simply having a good old battle!

Hahaha, was meant friendly! sandbagging(link). You did an excellent job in the second heat where it counted!   Hope to be able to give you a run for your money coming Friday, but somehow Silverstone and me/I are not a good combination....   

PS. I'd never heard of the other bagging until now....  

Prodrive classic divsion points are wrong too. theres only one point difference but guess they all count haha. flyboypete got 33 and our team has 32

I hope to have it squared ASAP. Thanks for pointing out the points discrepancy.

Looking like its gonna be some close racing tomorrow judging by the lap times being posted so far! (obviously mad dog excluded!)  

Great race tonight with Mab, Was pushing to the limit (And beyond on the final lap when spun in the final corner lol!)

Sorry again Paul, Tried to brake early to avoid such an incident and realized I'd braked way to early, Let off to try and get deeper into the corner and couldn't react in time to you braking. Complete c*ck up on my part! Hopefully it didn't affect your race to much.

Give a shout when replays are ready!

Sprint Replay has been sent to you Zeta but the feature didn't save properly. It should be on Hurricane's Storefront.

No worries mate, only got a little bit of damage and finished 3rd which is where I expected to and my first podium on TORA
I don't think I could have held Jabberwockies off for the whole 28 laps, he's way more consistent than I am.

Was an epic race really enjoyed it great clean driving too which helped. Also looking at the points also very close. Great championship

Awesome races again,those lotus and fords have some serious acceleration! Paul299 had the pace in the sprint race and took a well deserved second place, and the usual showing from mad dog for the double again! Think it would have been a different story for me in the main race if Paul299 and maynard hadn't had their touchy feely second corner moment!

^ The Lotus is quick in a straight line, but the Datsun's corner speed is tough to beat. Seems that the Abarth is also quick in the straights, and the 911 has some serious grip.

These quirks, matched with very close lap times, makes for some great back and forth racing. I am glad to see that so far what tested out in theory has been working out in reality.
