Round 1 - Lakeside International Raceway [15th Jan]

No problem Ryan. If that was at turn 1 I think that it was when I got a pop-up message about something to do with my soundcard  , I've not had that before, I had to click on AMS to get back in control therefore I wasn't noticing what was happening on track. Thanks anyway. 

Teams Championship after round 1 & 2 - Lakeside International Raceway

Aren't the standings to that wrong? CPW has nos core for R2 for example?


Besides that: I used a setup from STW as a base, maybe I should've tried Ryan's setup. But I was too busy checking if my Twitch stream is gonna work out.

Missed out on possible top three position in the first Q session as I kept running into people at the wrong place, the last sector.

I started 5th instead, but somehow made my way into 3rd where I remained until the end. Somehow took the fastest lap of the race

The 2nd Q session was better, I managed a good lap that put me 2nd.

A great start made me jump into the lead, which I had to defend against a hard-charging Steve that had the legs on me for most of the race, but couldn't quite find the gap to re-take first place. I have to say though that in my mirrors, it appeared as if his BMW was glued to the track and left nearly each turn at max possible speed and I had to concentrate hard to answer that performance.

My gearing was probably off, my 5th gear seemed to top out faster than his so he always got very close to catching me into T1.

Steve should be a serious contender for the title if he keeps that up and attends most events.

The rule section doesn't specify it that closely though...

Yes, but it didn't outright state as such on the definition for the team championship. I thought it counts at every round for all teams that have more than one car in the championship(as per the entry list), not specifically for every race(not just round, as Alberto was there for R1)

Did ASTC have that exact rule btw?

Ah yes, I noticed that.

Although some drivers(like the other Hyundai drivers and the Ford with Brancatelli/Briggs) would be sad that they were left out(Brancatelli even was the only European to show up).

Well, it hasn't worked yet, there could be way more than 12 ;(

The exact rule was “2 cars required to score.” Volvo only scored team points when a second car appeared for Tony Scott.

Well that was 2 great races,1st race got jump on ryan at the start and lead into turn 1,then just paced myself till the end for the win.2nd race David got jump on me at start after i had too much wheelspin,then spent whole race on Davids bumper but could not get room to pass,David were you running a low final gear as your rear was very twitchy every corner exit ?.but great fun in both races.
