FM4 U2SC Championship

Since I had to look this up, thought I would post for everyone. I'll add the list for each week as we get to it.

Week 1 - City Car

Ford Ka
Toyota Aygo
Citroen C1
smart fortwo
VW Fox
Peugeot 107
Hyundai ix20
Chevy Spark (leaderboard, probably disallowed)
Nissan Micra
Vauxhall Agila
Aston Martin Cygnet
Mazda 2

thanks for posting that Joe. Leaderboard cars are allowed, I just posted earlier that I won't be using them.

I hope that we can get a good lobby going tonight

to figure out what cars are eligible, I usually create a race, open class,
then set it to the car type, ie city car,
then look thru the dealer lists of cars and figure out from there what i like, assuming i dont want to run the spark.
I will check to see if any club cars are eligble for tonight, if none are i will put a car in just in case someone shows up with nothing to race.

Guys im sorry but I dont think ill be able to make it tonight. I have to work for a couple of hours.

I will be racing, may not make it in 20 minutes though. Just got home, need to get the kids settled. If you have enough no need to wait or anything, I should only miss one race at the most. See you in a bit!

Last night we had some great close racing. I was looking over the replay and I found that reus's time on Infineon IRL was a glitch, so I was able to get the time from when he crossed the line. I also decided to make a rule that a DNF is +10 seconds from last place, and a DNS (If you participated in at least one heat) is +30 seconds from last place. Here are the results (with total time and points awarded):

PLACE	RACER	TIME	POINTS
1st	beefsupreme42	39:24.915	25
2nd	Red Sniper 213	39:57.188	18
3rd	Joekorn	40:02.125	15
4th	menes reus	40:14.863	12
5th	BOSTONJOHN77	43:40.233	10
6th	B08MATH	44:23.163	8

I got some pictures from last night's races. here is one of my failed attempts to get past Joe's smart car:





And here is sniper rolling his smart car on suzuka west on the last lap:

Good work Beef. For those who don't know, there was no contact involved in that roll. All Sniper, somehow . Thought it might be a bit ironic to throw an F1 livery on my stupid car.

I got a chuckle out of seeing that. looked like a lot of fun. great pictures beef.

Looks like you had fun... Sorry I missed it... I will hopefully make it next weekend for the economy cars...

It was great fun last weekend and the racing was insanely close for the first half of the race until we started to push our cars too hard. I'm hoping the entire series is like this

I'm prepared this round but that does not mean anything. I think I will be going to see ironman 3, hopefully I'm back by 10.

I just remembered that I have the state math competition this weekend (yes, I am a total math geek...), and I'm not sure when I will get back home, so I may have to start the lobby at 10:30. I will hopefully have an update on this sometime this week. Anyway, here is this week's car list:

Economy Cars

Citroen C4 VTS
Ford Fiesta Zetec S
Honda CR-X Del Sol SiR
Honda CR-X SiR
Honda Prelude SiR
Honda Fit Sport
Mercedes A200 Turbo Coupe
Nissan Versa
Nissan Datsun 510
Renault Twingo Sport Cup
Scion xD
Suzuki Liana
Toyota Yaris S
Toyota Prius

This is also the last week to submit designs for the design competition. The current deadline will be this Sunday at midnight (going into Monday if there is any confusion there). Remember: the winner gets 10 million CR, so be creative!

Fiat Abarth 500 is also eligible. As tempting as it will be just to drive the Datsun in every class, I am committed to picking a different car for every race. All my liveries will be from the storefront again though, just don't have time to both tune and paint.

Beef - how in the world did you make an Agila so fast? I tried all the cars, and thought it was one of the worst. Good work! Being a math geek is a great thing btw, that will make you some $$$ later on. Has worked out well for my wife, and makes me kick myself on a daily basis that I didn't get into engineering. 50k right out of college is nothing to sneeze at!

I will send you the tune setups for the agila if you would like - most of it was just picking the right upgrades I think, but I did throw a quick tune on them.

And as for being a math geek, it has definitely helped me out at school. getting a 98% in an AP math class (which adds another 3 percentage points to my grade) really brings up my GPA when I am getting a grade in the low 80's in religion class (yes, that is an actual class at my school, and I completely suck at it. Also, its the only class at my school that you are REQUIRED to take 4 years of... which I find ridiculous...)

math served me well at University, in engineering.
Statistics was extremely useful as a process engineer.
My Agila is easy to drive but painfully slow. It is setup AWD for some
race i was in some time ago.
I thought it would be in series for sure but every car i tried beat it.
The PI hit for AWD is just too much.

I found out today that I should be returning to the school around 7:30 central time, and with a trip to Portillo's afterward, I should be getting back home around the time the race would normally start, so I will start the lobby as soon as I can.

Don't forget that we will be running round 2 of this series on saturday. The lobby should be up by 10:30 at the latest. Here is the schedule for this week's races:

Week 2
Body style: Economy
Race 1: E class Iberian Full
Race 2: D class Tsukuba Short
Race 3: C class Positano Reverse
Race 4: B class Silverstone International

I wont be able to race this saturday but I will be back the following saturday

I will finally be able to participate on a Saturday night Baseball is on a 2 week break, so I have some free time. Here's my Scion for tonight with the paint scheme I hope to use for the series.

<p>

Because Beef has an exam in the morning and another later in the week, I went ahead and compiled the very long list of cars for next week's hatchback race.... Tonight was good fun... I'm glad I hopped in!!

I was wanting to join last night but after work I started working on the kitchen floor some more and after the family got home from the in laws, I was ready to crash. Sounds like it was fun.

After spending all week tuning and testing, I also had to miss last night . My typical plan for keeping the wife happy is to make sure I do something with her the night preceeding a race, thereby freeing up the following night. Backfired a bit this week though, she fell asleep half way through a movie on Friday and then really wanted to finish it Sat. night.

Anyways, hope it went well and plan on seeing you all next weekend.

Thanks Lou for putting up the list. I will have the results up later today. That was some really close racing last night

Results from last night:

PLACE	RACER	TIME	POINTS
1st	beefsupreme42	36:29.741	25
2nd	BiggLou55	36:32.560	18
3rd	Eric21477	37:35.006	15

5th	wolfman115	38:21.309	10
6th	BOSTONJOHN77	42:07.442	8

A note to be made:

After taking a look at the replay of Iberian Full E class, I took 15 seconds off of Bob's time and added a 10 second penalty to Boston John for ass-raping bob's prius and spinning him out on lap 4.

Current Standings:

PLACE	RACER	POINTS
1st	beefsupreme42	50
2nd	B08MATH	20
3rd (Tie)	BiggLou55	18
	Red Sniper 213	18
	BOSTONJOHN77	18
6th (Tie)	Eric21477	15
	Joekorn	15
8th	menes reus	12
9th	wolfman115	10

There are only 2 people that have done all of the races so far and those are the top 2 positions, so it is probably clear that showing up is the best thing to do for points

and finally, some photos from last night's race at positano:







Last night was very close, Lou and I were constantly swapping positions so it made for some fun racing
