The last chance is the consolation semi final which the qualified drivers are listed in the preview. If you are not in that list or the reserves then you will not be able to qualify for the big race. You can by all means race in the rest of the heats.

Great work! I'm really looking forward to this meeting. I know i'm know as a tarmac hater but the tricky Barford track I love! Bring on Monday!

Driving on shale requires a total different driving style. I find that I have to fling the car into the bend (late) and then keep the rev's up else the car gets bogged down coming off the bends especailly at BV as the bends are tight.

Great Preview!

Well Done Tosh and Dan. God knows how you guys get round that track so quick and consistant. It is not my favourite shale track at all. Saying that I enjoyed trying to get around the track and had some good battles with a few drivers. Was going better in some races but some stupid driving by a few drivers wrecked my races and some I got some payback with. No apologies there. Hopefully see you next week where i really hope people bring there sensible heads and let us have a brilliant world final.

There is some room for some sarcastic answers there.....

You could do the 277 Martin Southwell F1..... I know someone who can get you plenty of photos.

WD Hoggy Tonight was probably my best performance on tarmac. I felt I actually had control of the car! Could have gone better in the final but tyres went off majorly with 2 laps to go.

I had a quick go last night and got a 14.1. But I'm red grade but some others are likely to go faster. If you can be consistent then you will be fine mate.

Well Done Dan!

Sorry Dave - Just got in but can't race.

I can't race - sorry. Have fun all.

Keep mine as prov please. Ta.

Best I have manged is 14.43.

I have the G27 and the gearstick unit is still in the packaging. Think most people use the flappy padals on the wheel. Bit like racing a F1 car.

Another real shame mate. All i can say is that admin are looking into this type of driving. If it continue's then punishments will get more harsh. For example in the F2's we give alot of suspended ban's as an extra punishment to try stop drivers driving like this in the future. If you are leaving then good luck in the future, been great racing with you.

WD Dan. Looking like a good season for you! I was in two minds if to race this track but work ended up deciding it for me lol Mav. I have only made some comments to Jnr due to when I have past him cleanly, tapped him wide to give him chance of points and on the next bend he has taken me out. Not just a tap or hit wide but one that ended up wrecking both of our racers. I guess it’s the same for the other “moaners”. I know he is young and keen but he will do well if he thinks more about the race tactics. He no doubt has the pace and is hard to catch. It would be a shame to lose you on here Mav and I agree some lower graders are here for the fun, some drivers like myself spend a lot of time practicing and think about the race as it develops. If I am 3rd with 2 lower grades infront my aim is to win but if I see Dan and Tom behind I will settle for 3rd (unless it’s a big race!). It does ruin it when someone takes someone out just for the fun of it. We all know it happens from time to time as its stock car racing but you can tell when it’s a racing accident or its ment. I can assure everyone that the admin are trying to ensure that the racing is fair for all and anyone ruining the experience for others. If you do spot anything then all it takes is a message to a member of admin. Southy

I will not be able to race tonight, sorry.

Keep mine as prov please, ta
