First and Last, woooo, go me Lol. Had to go eat on the first one btw, so that was more of a forfeit then a loss ;)

[CarboyZR1]

Today was fun, I was second in the first leg and last in the second leg because I crashed in the first one and got lost in the second one. lol

[Iced_Bullet]

*Updated Points table in second post*

[Car Freak]

Ok, just tried to study the map for the first time, and it's really confusing. Furthermore, I don't have the map they were supposed to give in the box...

[Iced_Bullet]

Right, on friday we will be doing stages 4 / 5 / 6 (so start at pontiac garage near the airport) and we stop at the lambo garage in the bottom right, then we go to the view point marked 5, then bac down to town and up again to view point marked 6.

 

Please can u say if you're still un-clear as thats a pretty simple route to follow :)

[Car Freak]

number 5 is a dead end road right? And we're supposed to use our own sense of direction and not the GPS right? (I fear I might do a James May)

[Iced_Bullet]

Yes, number 5 is a dead end road, but that is the checkpoint ... where we stop, let people catch up, and work out who came in which poisition.

 

Plus, no GPS is allowed in this, even though it was only Speed who was using it, as we didn't fancy not being able to re-connect to people.

 

So I'll add a bit into the rules about GPS etc.

[Speed]

Yes I was using it because the reasoning behind no GPS seems unfair to me. You planned the route, noone else knows it to memory so you have a clear advantage surely?

[Iced_Bullet]

I've posted rules about it in the first post, plus as soon as I created the map, I posted it here, so you could have looked at the map and learnt it off by heart if you wished - if you do not know the route, u only have yourself to blame :)

 

Plus I allowed people to look at the map on the forum between the stages.

 

I have sent a PM to the participating members on Friday 26th and from 22nd

[The Queen]

No point in me really doing it now though as i couldn't connect to you guys on the first one so i think i'm gonna drop out.

[Iced_Bullet]

Dont! There are people who havnt done the first leg doing the second and hopefully third :)

 

There will be prizes (well not physical prizes ;)) for people who only turned up to 1 or 2 of the days :)

[-Lr-SpeedraceR]

Damn... I didnt have time this week... wasn't here for the 1st day...

Can I participate anyway ? On the November 2nd ? (cause i'm away the 26th). Sorry for that, but I really havent time these days :/

Yes, you may, however if there are 8 other people (who have already taken part in 1 other session) apply to take part on november 2nd, then they will take higher priority - sorry - but I hope you can see my reasoning.

[-Lr-SpeedraceR]

I see, np :)

Finally, i can be there on october 26th... so i think it's the same reasoning ? Last thing, it's 8PM UK, so it's 9PM in France ?

[Iced_Bullet]

OK, you have filled the last place on friday :) Lucky hehe!

 

OK, so you will be taken off the reserve list for the 2nd novemeber, as you will have completed the stage on 26th ... So you don't have to worry about it, you will be in on 2nd nov :)
