I can't join, it's UK only. But maybe some of you would be interested.

I might have already signed up ;)

There are, however, 2 reasons why I won't be going to the final:

1. I absolutely suck at driving scrabble wagons front-wheel drive cars. I can drive them, I just can't drive them quickly and certainly not quickly enough to be challenging the REAL aliens out there.
2. If the live final is running on monitors, there is no point my even showing up. I have been driving with a Rift for nearly 4 years, driving on a flat-screen simply isn't something I can do at any kind of pace these days.

Force of habit from my days on the SXOC (Nissan 200SX Owners Club) where that was how all FWD were described. I don't care how good the car is, what trick diff it might have, if it's FWD, it's a scrabble wagon and always will be.

Nice, A 200SX club. I never got into that. Most I had was a 50cc go-kart as a kid.

The first qualifying round is over and I never managed to put in the 34s lap I knew I was capable of. Ended the round in P6, which is enough in itself, but with 2 people above me not eligible to take part, that put me P4.

I think I'm correct in that the top 6 from each qualifying round go into the semi-finals, so that's 1 step closer to Silverstone ;)

No chance. I tried it briefly (ie, 2 laps) in time-trial and gave up, some 1s off the WR default setup pace :dead:

Ah, I read that wrong... well at least you had a try, huh?

Well, I've given the Clio Cup a go and currently sitting P3 (although P2 isn't eligible to take part, along with the majority of the top 20 times right now it seems!) so that's actually P2. P1 time is 1m15.7 and I know I can match that, or at least get within a tenth of it, I just need to do it.

Well I'm just guessing, P1/p3 in an event like that probably says a lot! :)

I'll upload my latest one tonight (finished 3rd in the 2nd qualifier, even though I didn't need to take part). The first round is already up



The ghost is the person who was P1 for almost the entirety of the round. I made a mess of the first sector, or I would have been within a tenth of his time. To be honest, each lap was torture as I never got to grips with, er, the lack of grip. Rallycross just isn't my cup of tea :eek:

Nice lap! I love Rallycross, I'm just not very good at staying off of the walls.

Round 2


There was a flurry of activity in this round, following the release of Patch 6, which saw laptimes drop by 0.5s. I was P1 for about an hour yesterday evening but the previous P1 driver took that and then improved.

It looks like a few of the 'fastest' drivers used steering assist to game the system and find some extra speed. I really don't see the point, when you won't be able to do that in the live grand final but each to their own.

Those were two very slick laps @Cluck , very impressive.

Do you know what the sudden pace changes relate to? SMS release notes are light on specifics.

Felt like tyres to me :)

I do know more but I'm not at liberty to divulge - since SMS cannot release details, nor can I, sorry.
