You mean mean person mad.... I for one won't be having any time to practice on the tracks then....

Oh, and please make sure we start on time tonight - the RFR GP starts at 23:00 BST, and I'd like to be there at least 10 mins before the start Wink

well that was 2 very good races for me. the first i was chasing all the way to the end but the second was by far the best i have done. dont think the start could have gone any worse than it did and i think i was last by about the 4th lap then i stopped hitting things and manage to get 2nd. steve was just too fast and very good race to tred, you pushed me to the line.

I must say i'm pretty happy

First, for the first race of course. Some, beeing ironic, could say "what a surprise"... But yes, what a surprise actually.
Earlier in the evening, during the "warm up" i was ahead Madman for only 00.00.01, that was very close and hard to keeo the first place.
Then, the race it self. It was a lot of pressure. I know people like Tred, Steve, Virus, Madman, Retoon, ... are faster than i am usually.
If i won, i think it's not because i'm good or because i know the track very well (of course it helped a lot) but i was lucky above all.
As i am lucky to race with so nice guys as you are all.

Second race was far far far away from my expecting (in the good way). I though i would have to fight for a top ten, as usual, but i lead the race for a few laps, then i fighted to keep my second place for some other laps.

I finally ended 4th (3rd on the podium because Tred left early, thanks buddy Mr. Green

) but that was a great result considering the opponments.

...Well, beeing so lucky in game.. i guess i can expect my girlfriend to let me down quite soon. Rolling Eyes

Allow me to bring up the important subject of tracks for next weekend. May I suggest Jumping GP by MrA? And does anybody feel brave enough to try a Thunder Looper GP?

That was a couple of great race tonight Smile

2nd and 3rd was much better than I expected Very Happy

Plus I then went on to finish 5th in the RFR GP Smile

Not bad considering I was 14th after 12 laps...

First race was great. After reading Pepper's story I still think it's not a surprise you won there Wink

I ended up fifth after some cool battles (CRJ, ff, putsku, Steve.. no not Steve, he wanted to be last or something ^^). Great driving by Pepper, but also Tred, retoon and RF Aso there.

Can't say much about the second race as Ive only driven one round Laughing

Although I was first during the entire first lap, messed up just before start/finish and I became like 5th immediately. And that was it >.<

Great driving by retoon, Tred and Pep over both races Very Happy

Thanks a lot for these pictures Moldo Mr. Green

Tred already left for the second one, but he was 3rd. I wasn't on the podium but the race was an intense fight all long. Great experience Razz

6bst would make 6bst for the english I think. Dutch time is just english + 1 hour.

Can i attempt to clear up the times.

GMT - Greenwich Mean Time. GMT. Standard time for everyone.

BST - British Summer Time. GMT +1. We are currently in BST, changes back to GMT 28th october.

Central European Time - GMT +2 atm. Your +2 on GMT and +1 on BST.

From there, you can work out what time zone your in, and how many hours your in front or behind Wink

Hope this helps the confuzzed amongst us Cool

If anything is wrong, please say or change it.

lol pep. Why is it so confuzzing?? Gets even worse when you think some places are already Tuesday

28th october, you'll switch to BST, but Britian will switch back to GMT so it isnt really BST Confused
