MoR137 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Well what a night.... Heat 5 was my own personal highlight, lots of hits between a big gaggle of cars, I nearly took off over the Birmingham sign (see early flight below), and then was nearly 'pitted' by Kruiz last bend! [attachmentid=22580] A quick picture that sums up Johno's night perfectly.... [attachmentid=22581] Drumbstick and Hutch were battling for the lead all the way through the night, and went into the final with Hutch on 133 and Drumbstick on 132! It all ended in disaster for Hutch though, and Drumbstick claimed a respectable 3rd after an early spin. Hutch came home 6th, which wasn't bad considering the carnage! Bad luck to Matthew, who had a terrible night whilst trying to keep up with this pair, but looks set to be a contender for silver in the upcoming UKDirt rFactor F1 2008 season! [attachmentid=22582] Well done to Kruiz for winning the final and joint top scoring, and a big well done to Drumbstick 41, who continues his clean sweep of off-season UKDirt rFactorF1 titles so far, becoming Sunday Night Thunder Champion 2008! Thanks all for racing what has turned out to be an excellent series, I hope you've all enjoyed the using the mod with the real life skins, I certainly did! I know we had some teething-troubles along the way, but thanks for sticking with me, and thankfully the finale went smoothly! So I hope to see you all racing in March along with some new names, so get those skins painted up (keep an eye out for a skinpack thread soon!) and get practicing! Thanks for all your support over these crucial testing stages since September, it's very much appreciated, and it's been great seeing the mod being used!

TheGreenGenie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Well done to Drumbstick on winning the series, and to all the other race winners tonight. Bad luck to Hutch (So near but yet so far) I would like to say a big thanks to all involved in getting rFactor F1's up and running as well as those that put in the effort in organising the racing. I had a great time tonight and I can sure see the benefit in a bit of effort to practice, 2 race wins my best ever. Catch ya soon chaps. TGG P.s The Kr3w league will be moving for the coming season, Check us out at Sim-Stox.
Paulp23 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks very much Mor , you always kept cool under pressure and did a fine job as far as i'm concerned. Well done to drumb on the series win and bad luck to hutch and matt , i have had a great time racing these with all of you and i hope to return and race in the full ukdirt 2008 season.
Johno3 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 First of all, a very big Thank you to MoR for running the mini series. I t may have had a few teething problems early on, but there is no doubt in my mind that it has been a success, so well done MoR Secondly, Well done to Drumbstick on taking the series points championship. Hutch certainly ran you close though and it really looks like we have our very own version of Wainman vs Smith, which can only be a great thing for online F1. Not of course forgetting other drivers that are not that far behind either. Thirdly, a big well done to Kruiz on taking the final victory. It certainly was a hectic race, and it made a change for me not to be the one doing the spinning. Speaking of my night, the heats were a disaster. I couldnt keep the car straight to save my life, but in the final I got a couple of laps to myself and managed to settle into the race which made all the difference. I certainly enjoyed the meeting, and I think the improvement in the side by side contact as made for much better racing as it gives you a lot more confidence. Overall, things are definately looking brigt for this Mod imo. Lets just hope we see as many of you as possible for the new season. Cheers Johno
Mr Beef Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 A big thanks to the makers of this mod, the racing gets better all the time, and to Mor for running the 2 mini series its been great fun. WD to Drumbstick for winning the series and Kruiz for his final win. Hopefully see you all for the up and coming full season. Cheers Mr Beef
Kruiz 136 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Very hectic meeting especially at Birmingham and navigating thorugh the carnage in the final certainly wasn't easy but it was good fun I'm glad you posted that pic MoR as I thought you had gone over the fence when I saw it my rearview mirror and I was only to happy to give you a big hit, seems to have become a tradition now lol and seeing as it was the last bend I thought I'd better make it even harder than usual Well done for holding on to it though and still beating me accross the line as it must have been one of the hardest hits I've given out and held on to so far on rFactor Great series and meeting, thanks again MoR for running it Well done Drumb for winning the series and unlucky Hutch even closer this time than before Kruiz Edited February 4, 2008 by Kruiz 136

Kruiz 136 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks guys. And your welcome Pedz although I must admit I don't remember that at all I do, it was the first corner of the final and I went underneath him....
