no worries mate, made for a good race anyway

Another quality nights racing in a lobby with more drivers than one can name! Big hats off to scarhand for knocking both my mirrors off(if possible), killing my back bumper and nearly giving me a heart attack for 12 laps and all without damage and neither of us leaving the track! Amazing racing!

Good racing in lobby c right up to the last 3 laps where one driver got a bit enthusiastic and a bit aggressive

Both C Lobby replays are on my storefront.

Cracking gracing in B lobby, first race was light to flag with constant pressure from LMR Zakspeed no more than about 150ft apart for nearly the whole race, even manage a 30.3 (although dirty due to slipstream). Race 2 was even tighter, Budda and bear were involved in there own inter team battle, although managed to get past, but great racing guys, wix and Again Zakspeed kept me honest.

hat's what it's all about.

Thank you everyone for racing today!! I hope everyone had fun. I want to thank Mad Dog, Bolland, MAB and Zakspeed for helping me today run the show!! I will see everyone next week for the season 1 finally at Mazda Laguna Seca raceway with a little surprise in store for all!

You 2 need to just relax, yes something has happened in the race and stuff was said, it's been reported by multiple people so can we just leave the argument alone and get on with enjoying the rest of the championship

Ladies please, use the process of SI or leave it alone.

Closet racing in one lobby that I have seen or been a part of at TORA Ever.  Really thought I would have had a better car than what I did, but I guess things weren't meant to be.  Blame the non-existing pit crew of mine for not changing tires between races 1 and 2.  Car went to dog poopoo during that race.

Also both lobby replays are on my Storefront from Lobby C.

I have also personally taken a look at both incidents that would be SI worthy, but I cannot say what the Stewards will.  But if they see the same thing I saw then there may be penalties.

After some incidents and comments aimed at me tonight, I have decided to pull myself out this championship, as i feel i am ruining the fun for people and thats not fair Thanks

Sorry Erebus mate but It has to be done

Just done the math for the dropped round going into to the last round top 3 points are

PLOW tubbi - 584 points
HCR Hamish - 580 points
HCR Mad Dog - 578 points

Also 2nd & 3rd are tied for points in the teams. Next week is going to be intense!

Hayden surely i'll be 4th right as I had a [Censored] lobby b first week due to an outstandingly good qualifying

EDIT!

Done the maths, 7 points clear of Mystic going into final round. Would have to smash you 3 into the wall at the corkscrew in both races and come out with no damage to win though so i'm not entirely hopeful haha!

Right Stewards have SI's from the races last night. PLEASE do not talk about the incidents as we are looking at them, Thank You

Can I raise a pre emptive SI, I suspect cheeky wizard may be plotting to put three guys into the wall at the cork screw : )

Plotting? Mate i've already planned it out, Hayden will be in front with you and Hamish side by side, I shall go into the back of you and Hamish perfectly square flat in 4th you will then hit hayden both spin out of control and i'm gone Just kidding lads, haven't been anywhere near you 3 all season and my god i've been at my limit, time to bring the wheel out I think!

Hated last night, couldn't get into a rhythm. Sorry to the guys I hit in whichever race. Chances of ribbons have gone now.

@ wizard, don't joke, I've seen it happen lap after lap in the tcc, the SI's after this round will most likely be immense.
AND even if you now do it by mistake it will look bad, which unfortunately happened to me when joking before, egg on face Danielson

I made the mistake of practicing too much for this one, Monday I was doing consistent 1.30.5xx, Tuesday 1.30.8xx then qualified half a second off, not trying to let the team down ended up with letting the team down   

Race 1 was a right off, didn't here the start time and no reply when I asked what time we were starting so ended up waiting for the car in front to move before dropping the clutch.
Lap 3 took a wide line into the hairpin got a good exit and managed to drag up inside the car in front only to get door slammed and spun into the gravel to a stop leaving me about 10 seconds behind 10th place, spent the rest of the race hooning round and managed to finish 8th.

Race 2 sat on the grid for ages waiting to be told the grid, I thought we would be told our positions but just sat there until someone mumbled my name. Don't know if I've been muted by some people or their just choosing to ignore me but Wixracing could here me fine so it's not my mic or connection.

What a difference in race 2 starting from pole, managed to pull a slight gap the first couple of laps until Ibluejabbarexi found his rhythm and put me under constant pressure, finally on lap 8 went to hot into a corner and he made the pass, shame really as that was some of the best racing I have experienced, clean and fair but most importantly bloody good fun.

^ Was great racing in B lobby.
I managed to take advantage of your gravel outing to pass both of the cars involved. Finished 7th after a very lonely last 8 to 9 laps of the race.

You were called at the start of the second race. You didn't move until somebody else called our name.   
For race 2 I didn't have the best first lap and lost ~200ft (luckily didn't lose a position) and never got on your tail again until the last two laps. Tried to put pressure on you hoping for a mistake, but didn't happen and finished a happy third.

Well in that case I couldnt here who was running the lobby for some reason then? I never heard anyone get called, I didn't hear the host the hole night. Smurphy didn't even get in the lobby so maybe it was a connection issue. Never mind.

Yes after my mistake that let jabba past I did see you gradually appear in the mirror, I wasn't surprised after seeing your best lap time at the end of the race, that was an a lobby time! Race 1 I managed to get back to 8th from last but I don't think I would have caught you even if there were 20 laps left, Silverstone is one of my least favorite tracks, just glad I put in a fair effort at road Atlanta as its one of my favorites.

Great racing again in A lobby, After starting 7th in the first 3rd  in the second race managing a pb 1.29.8!, was a bit soul destroying to be caught so quickly and passed by a certain few! But overall happy with two 7th place finishes! Actually that might be a more apt name for mad dog...HCR Soul Destroyer!
