Hehe, the feature race is my home race. What is the difference between a home race and not?

I think extra power. There are like 3 or 4 guys whose home race is now, not mine though, it's gonna be interesting how I am gonna hold up with the rest of you, me and my teammate have very good settings, few tweaks here and there and we should be very powerful. Looking forward to brake 'homeracers' party.

Haha, I think I am building a rivalry with Cherry. First we played a pair of games at PPM, then I beat him to pole last qualifying, just to lose the first place in battle with him in the race. Now HE beat me to pole, once again by very small margin...time for REVENGEEE.

Main Rival -> Adam Cherry.

Done.

I am gonna blow you down getzy... :furious:

Timuraaa :1st:

Cherry made a terrible start, then I had no problems securing the lead. Yay!

Told you I was going to break 'homeracers' party ;)

4 races, 4 different winners, this is gonna be one interesting season ;)

And I just used Archie as bumper car, but I could have used Timura later on, but I made a driver error. :doh:

Oulton Park wasn't my favorite track obivously, two races, two retirements. ](*,)

ARGH! What an appalling start from me! I handed you the race Timura. That coupled with a darn safety car ruined my (and any others) chances of a win!

Lol, that is such an Alonso manner :yadda: Blaming everything but himself. But yeah, I admit you made it a lot easier for me when you dropped at the start. But if you noticed, after safety car you still couldn't hold on me. But your second place after such a start is still a very good effort. Looking forward to the next race, you seem to be powerful once again (training results)...it's just one point between us, and more hate than ever! :fight:

My first pole this season. :-D

Team Bullburgers second pole in a row, and the first time that we got pole and second. :joy:

Is the Team Spirit reign of terror over now? :-?

That's bad, I hate when it happens, happens a lot in public games too. :cry:

But if we find someone who's willing to take his spot, it will be easier for you again. :thup:
But that's also the hard thing, to find somenone willing to step in. :(

Yeah, I like them too, now we hope that we get good starts. :-D

In another private game I'm in, all my teammate has posted has been this:
is this fpr dry or wet?
Thankfully I have Kool Tools and can see his setup, but it would have been good if he shared the setup too. From what I found it was one of his first games on Batracer, but it is annoying.

Getz, if I had one spot open I would join you, but I got all my spots full. But hopefully you'll get a new and better teammate. :thup:

Thanks Joe, i'd love to have you on board. Pity your busy. However, the new racer has just taken over and he posted a hey messaged and seems quite 'interested' shall we say.

As for the race. I have a great idea, let's start on intermediates, that way, we can pit on the first lap and finish last! :doh: :oops:

That's a very good idea, Getzy! :thup:

I have an even better one: Use wet tyres for the qualifying. They have much grip and will give you a high speed lap! :-p

Well, you were ahead of Reger. :P

I noticed that I had intermediate like 20 minutes before race start so I changed it, too bad that I didn't thought about that you were maybe having intermediate as well. :(

We like you, but now he was ahead of you. :P

This game starts to feel like a three team dance, if the Calverts doesn't win soon they will be completely out of the race for team victory.
