    As we only got 8 times in from the 12 that wanted to race we will be including you all in one lobby on Race day. Here are the final times:-

    Scott Davidson – 1.02.6xx
    Dave Lewis – 1.02.7xx
    Kevin Higerty – 1.03.213
    Steve Smith – 1.03.275
    Scot Coates – 1.03.563
    Chris Hart – 1.03.714
    Spencer Stone 1.03.991
    Gary Weeks 1.04.4

    The first race will commence on Monday 4th February at 9pm and should take around 1/2 hour if all goes well.

    The first track will be:-

    Week 1 Circuit: Bernese Alps Festival Circuit (15 laps)

    Everyone will need to have NeonSpectres on their friends list. If you haven’t please can you send him an FR as he will need to send invites out to you 10 minutes before race time. He will also be the judge, jury and executioner of this league, basically, what he says goes!

    We will also be using the original MGRL rules that have seen us through some good times and can be read below:-

    MGRL Rules
    • You must pit at least once during the race. This can be on any lap you wish with the EXCEPTION of the first lap or the last lap’s of any race. If you need to pit on the first lap due to a damaged car, YOU MUST take another pit stop before the last lap of the race.
    • If there is connection conflict between two racers, the person arriving in the lobby first will take preference and unfortunately, the other person will have to stand down.
    • Clean racing is still the order of the day. Any unnecessary takings out may result in disqualification from the entire season.
    • Whilst you are free to tune your vehicle for each event, the builds should stay as supplied so as to keep the cars competitive.
    Lobby timings

    Surely the tuning rule is not valid as we’re using a locked tune?

    Correct Kev, no tuning on this one (I’ve commented as such on the Facebook post) :)

    Still in the VX whatever from the times above I guess?

    yeah Chris, all in the MGRL VX220. I think we should mention the restart rule and general etiquete for people who haven’t raced with us before.

    A restart can be called by anyone if they suffer damage on the first lap of the race. Generally this doesn’t mean if you spank it into a barrier all by yourself, but is meant for lap one multiple car pile ups which can happen.

    If you want a restart you must call it and make sure the op has understood the request. Leave it too long and it wont count, you must call it on lap 1, so you cant call a restart on lap 5 if you sustained damage on lap 1.

    Race etiquete is race clean and call out to let someone know your passing. Take it easy into turn 1. Have fun.

    2 hours to go. Excitement is raising in the Hart camp.

    Yay! Looking forward to racing with the MG gang again :)

    Great racing guys, considering the track it all looked relatively tidy from where I was.

    More than happy with 3 points on the board as well. It normally takes me 3 races to get that much!!

    Yeah, a great start although Dave suffered from yet another connection dropout in a MGRL race! :(

    Looking forward to jousting with Gaz for points over the coming races! :D

    Gutted I didn’t finish last night. Despite it being a bogey track for me I was quite enjoying it and racing with sum of the old(not an age reference btw ;-) ) gang. Apologies to sp3nc3r74 for my rather crude ramming dude :oops: look for to racing again nxt week hopefully without dropping out this time lol
