TT/MGPB.net presents FIM World Endurance Championship:

Twin Ring Motegi - Trick*Star ZX10 8Hour

New York - Moriwaki CBR-RR 8Hour

Valencia - Yoshi GSXR 8Hour

Grand Valley Speedway - YSP & PRESTO R1 8Hour

Suzuka - 7 CBR-RRW

each will be 10 laps and use the bike next to the track to avoid a HRC/CBR1000RR spec series. but, with the Suzuka race id like to try something slightly different. since everybody already already does more than one race, id like everybody to submit two times to simulate a pitstop. the rest of the rules is what youre already fimiliar with.

Then after that, i was thinking off another TTWS, TTWS: The Real World. Id like to include monaco(de' cortz) and nordschliefe as well. id probably use the tz250 at the ring since its fast enough to be fun, but, wouldnt be completely overwhelming. im not sure what id use at monaco, but, im thinking one of the 600 rms. most likely the CBR600RR RM.

nothing set in stone though. i put the gsxr at valencia because it handles really well and the motors sooooo smooth, the perky motor and sharp chassis of the ysp & presto should go well at GVS, the hondas have very strong engines and should kill the long straights of new york without a problem, the 7 CBR-RRW won the 8 hour last year iirc, and that leaves the trick*star at motegi for no particular reason :lol:

To be honest, I doubt I'd go in for the Endurance series. I get frustrated enough running 7 lappers, and the Suzuka 10 lapper we did in the TTWS was hell.

yeah, i dont think i would do it either. i have a hard enough time trying to get time to play, hell i probably couldnt get enough time to do a few 10 lap runs. plus, i am also really enjoying playing around with smaller bikes, like the 400 rms, and such.

would you two be opposed to having the ring back with monaco? theyd both be hotlap races, but, with walls and huge bumps they wont be the easyst tracks to stay clean on and still be fast.

I agree with you both of you, especially with Calla for 400RM's that would be
great fun

I like your idea, epecialy the stages, but if the guys disagree... Then it's best to think something we all like 'cause this competition is alredy running low of competitors. So I'm in whatever it'll be. Btw, Diatribe, this is supposed to be fun, and I'don't see the reeason why should this 10 laps be frustratrating if you enjoy playing... The time doesn't matter the fun does. ;) Stay tuned

Btw, Diatribe, this is supposed to be fun, and I'don't see the reeason why should this 10 laps be frustratrating if you enjoy playing... The time doesn't matter the fun does.
That's my point. It's no fun sitting there for 2 hours coasting round simply trying to stay clean for 10 laps, then having to give up as in your last, seemingly perfect run you went 18 inches off the track on lap 9 thanks to the absolutely destroyed tyres you've been nursing since the halfway mark. And if you're not having fun there's no point playing. Plus I have Uni research, coursework and exams to think about.

Sorry for the rant there, bit unnecessary but those 10 lappers aren't the most enjoyable things in the world. Hotlapping the 'Ring and Monaco sound cool, as well as racing at any other circuits we havn't visited (Fisco? Or did that go on before I joined?).

That's my point.

And if you're not having fun there's no point playing. Plus I have Uni research, coursework and exams to think about.

That's just what makes the race more interesting... Not to push to far, but to be fast, to make some strategies... Isn't that what is MotoGP all about? The point isn't to push to the limit and hit the "try again" till the god put a bless on you not to visit fields around...

I understand if the exams, and other things are the problem, that's OK, but I dissagree that it's boring. ;)
Stay tuned

would you two be opposed to having the ring back with monaco? theyd both be hotlap races, but, with walls and huge bumps they wont be the easyst tracks to stay clean on and still be fast.

i really l ike monaco, a lot. but then again, i like the city streets races. i think the smaller bikes should do good here, as there really isnt any place to open up the bigger ones.

i particularly like the first right after going up the hill, on the way down you wheelie over the crossing road, then put the wheel down, and brake for the next right. helluva lotta fun...

ello all :) well seeing as this is what i do (along with my guitars, etc) for a hobby, and i have a very
understanding mrs, i wouldn't be opposed to the FIM Endurance Series. i enjoy the challenge of trying
to turn out consistant laps at a decent pace

that said, i completely undetand the reluctance of those with studies etc to contend with, so the ttws
real world idea sounds ok to me too

aside from the street series :eek: all that's been organised here has been very enjoyable, so hopefully nes
and callaghan will continue to impress 8O :D

maybe it will be more interesting if you can choose which bike you can use on which track, but you have to use each bike once.
otherwise it would be a bit boring i think

ahem, cough! naked rm series? :D 8O one bike per round, custom form and set up, yum :lol:

how about mix it up a bit, like 1000 rm's naked rm's and 600 rm's.
Could be interesting as not everyone is good at just one kind of bike

hehe :lol: we've come full circle, back to a ttws :lol:

why not?

ello :) if you read one of my earlier posts, you'll see that i'd be cool with doing a 'real world ttws'

and each race should last two weeks, one week is not enough

personally, i think one week is plenty

personally, i think one week is plenty

But only can race 2 days a week, cause the rest of the week i'm not home :cry:

im in the same boat. i have a very limited amount of time (as is showing by my times in this current round) to play, yet i think two weeks for each race would make the series a bit stale. as it is, most activity on this board will start on friday, maybe thursday...but that only leaves two days of real activity.

maybe we should change the scedule of the races, i think we should start at
thursday so that race would last during the weekend(did i wrote that corectly:think: )

so make races start on monday and end on sunday again?

that sounds better already :D

i can do that, i changed race starts to sunday to make it easier on myself because i work all day on mondays and sometimes wouldnt be able to get the next round up until tuesday.

im also considering shorting average series to 7 rounds instead of 10 because thats when interest drops.

im also considering shorting average series to 7 rounds instead of 10 because thats when interest drops.
that'd be a very good move, imo :) less rounds = more championships = more chances to become champ = more interest, hopefully

Here's a few things to consider, from a GT4 series I'm currently running in...

5 rounds, 2 weeks for each round: 1st week for Qualifying, 2nd week for Race.

Everyone that submits a Qualifying time gets a point. Fastest Qualifier get an extra point.

Everyone that submits a Race time gets a point just for submitting a time. Fastest Race lap gets an extra point.

Plus the regular points system for finishing order in the Race.

If you don't announce the Race specifics until after Qualifying is over for each round, everyone only has one week to run each Race. Or if you announce everything up front, everyone can run anything whenever they have time & just save it for the appropriate deadline.


Another thing worth considering is an ongoing series, like the GT4 WRS on GT Planet. (Which is currently on Week 93!) No points. Just race whenever you like the combo & have the time. They also have 3 divisions, so us Backmarkers don't get too bored. ;) Interesting for those that don't have time for weekly championships.


Last but not least, I'd like to see a TZ250 Cup someday. I know some people get tired of riding the same bike week after week, but I've enjoyed the ongoing tuning of the same bike during this series. (Even if it wasn't the best bike at some tracks. ;)) Seems more like real racing to me. Besides, who could ever get tired of riding the TZ!

Just my 2 cents. (OK, maybe it was more like a dime. :lol:)

well, im not sure about the two week thing tbh, but, what the majority wants is what they get. i brought up the TTWRS style racing before and the the consence was championship.

if it comes to voting, i'll go for finite championships with one week per round :)

if it comes to voting, i'll go for finite championships with one week per round :)

I agree with you.

+1

so what is it going to be for the next one?
cause this one is almost over

im voting for either a naked rm series, 7 races + qualifying, similar format to the current series, or a 400rm series. i think the 400s will open the doors for a lot of people, since they are not quite as violent as the bigger bikes.


i am curious as to what tracks do yous not like? me personally, im not too fond of autumn rings, both of them...and el capitan, its way to bumpy. most of the others i like, mostly though for only a few sets of turns.

a list of the nakeds...

bmw k1200r

honda:
1300 super four
and of course...the 750f

suzuki:
gsx1400
gsx1100 katana F.E.

triumph speed triple

yamaha: no real standard...but how about the vmax for shits and giggles??

kawasaki:
z1000
zephyr 1100
zrx 1200

mv agusta brutale 910

yosh. katana 1135r (although this is a street bike.)

and the 400's

kawi: gpz400r
yamaha fzr400
honda vfr400
suzuki gsx400r

the 250s i think would be a little slower...but not by much.

they are:

yamaha tzr 250spr
suzuki rg 250
honda nsr 250r se

yamaha have the XJR1300 too :) there's a katana 1100 final edition rm if you fancy it, rather than the street 1135r?

oh yeah, definately use the VMAX RM 8O then there's the buell XBR12RM, and there's a 1200cc naked rm bmw too

mmm yes, naked rm series plz :D

i left a few out that have already been used. i figured there would be enough for all new unused bikes...

I vote for 400RM's:D

figured there would be enough for all new unused bikes...

true enough yes, seeing as the next chapionship will be a 7 rounder?

try out that naked bmw rm though calla, it's hooligan :eek:

yeah, ive used it, and with nearly 190 hp, its damn fast...and stable to boot. but turn in and mid corner speed are really lacking. makes a great bike to learn many tracks on!

I think that there are maybe too much difference between the bikes in the naked series. They are all great and fun to ride, but the HP almost always win the race so the BMW would be uncatchable...

so it gets specified which bike is used per race, eg...

race 1 - vmax rm
race 2 - bmw naked rm
etc etc :)

well, i was planing on using a vareity of bikes in the next TTWS. 100% real world tracks. so far the only combos i want to do is:

TZ250 @ nordschcliefe
VFR400R RM @ Monaco

the other 5 are up in the air.

good pair :) perhaps we can try some combo's and make suggestions?

im always open for suggestionshttp://www.motogpboards.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

ok :) seeing as the two you've put up are are hotlaps, imo we'd need a longer one for balance

so how about...

TT World Series (7 laps)/Fuji 2005/BMW K1200R-RM

big fun getting down from 200mph for a >90 degree turn 1 :eek: :lol:

ill go with that one. i will have some suggestions as well later tonight.

http://www.motogpboards.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

we have one short race and two long races so far. i wonder how many people will break teh 7 minute mark with the tz250. she only hits 180-190 tops, but, with a few big mistakes my fastest time is a 7'03 :lol:

im having a blast riding the fzr400. this thing is damn fun, and has boatload of cornerspeed! its great fun at just about any track but the biggest. knee on the deck at 100mph, and wide open!

any track in particular, calla? :)

im also wanting to use the 999R RM, the Yoshi GSXR 8Hour, the Buel RM, the naked BMW RM (a little heavy, but, basically litre RM specs) but im also waiting to see what other suggestions you guys have.

ithink i'm gonna skip this championship as 'm entring another one at another forum and 2 at the same time is a bit to much for me, and specially when i can only race in the weekend

im also wanting to use the 999R RM
8O :D

i really like the fzr400 at grand valley east. that and infineon. believe it or not, they are only a few seconds slower than the modern 600rms. :O

gve it is then :)

trail braking...

should it be allowed in the next championship? i ask because of various phrases posted and points made over the last few months

i won't bother quoting word for word, but the gist of my concern is the phrase 'if you have an incident in the game that would have
caused you to crash in real life, then the lap/race doesn't count'

saving extreme lowsides after hitting dirt, going to far off track leaned over, etc. things that you get away with in-game, but irl you wouldn't

now, i've seen calla state recently that if you trail braked irl to the extent seen in some of the hotlaps posted recently, you'd be off

see where i'm coming from, mods? :)

yes, i see your point. but im inclined to say that its part of a riding style. i myself dont use it. (the brakes and throttle at the same time thing.)

edit: though the last round didnt show that i was that quick, i was able to keep pace with the fastest guys when i jumped on any other bike besides the cbr...:roll: . so i dont think it really gives that much of an advantage, if any. others will disagree. but if it becomes an issue where the top 6 all use the same "braking" technique, and no one else can come close, then we might have to institute some regulations. but i dont see that happening.

i thought about this and my disusion is this -

even though i dont like this form of trail braking, specially after callas description of what would really happen, ill allow it because id also have to ban automatic transmittions since how many real race/sports bikes have autos? how many motorcycles peroid?

but, whatever majority rule is ill go with because i want the majority to be happy :) cant please everyone after all.

I just hope someone won't bury us all just because of that.
When Diatribe was the only one usin' that it was kind of ok, cause it was his own thing, and now... Guys are cutting seconds thanks to that. I really can't beat them with a PERFECT lap without so called "trail braking".

i thought about this and my disusion is this -

even though i dont like this form of trail braking, specially after callas description of what would really happen, ill allow it because id also have to ban automatic transmittions since how many real race/sports bikes have autos? how many motorcycles period?
:eek: i'll see the trail brakers on the track next season then :lol:

great bunch of lads they are, wonderful technique, hehe :D

have you got the season schedule for us to see yet nes?

how about...the honda rc162 at suzuka. i feel the bike is great fun to ride.

the full suzuka? this would also add another hot lap race iirc.

yeah, the corner speed is great, and it puts focus on keeping the momentum up.

and i believe you cant race the 162, only hot lap it.

seeing as the ttwss was all full races, why not go to the other extreme and have an all hot lap series?

to include the naked bmw rm that i suggested at fuji 2005 of course :D

short, sweet, none of the heartbreak of crashing after 4 and a 1/2 good laps, etc

free rider form and bike set up as usual

that might encourage some more participation :)

what do you rackon, nes and calla?

actually, that was something i was already considering because i wouldnt have to find a race to use them at and since its easier to do one fast lap than consistant fast laps, im hoping itll draw more people in.

one other thing is, id like to figure out how to get people to want to openly talk/share set ups/form so that we all can learn more about that in general.

sounds good to me.

so, so far weve:

Honda RC162 at Suzuka Full
Yamaha YZR400 RM at Grand Valley East
Honda VFR400R RM at Monaco
BMW K1200R-RM at Fuji 2005
Yamaha TZ250 at Nordschliefe
Ducati 999R RM at '80s fisco
Buel XB12R RM at ???

and this in no particular order. the rest of the rules were fimiliar with will apply.

how about the ducati at the 80's fisco? and the xb12 on tokyo?

i like the ducati/80s fisco combo, but, id rather have a twisty track for the buel to take advantage of the buels torque.

Buel XB12R RM at ???


How about Laguna?

that could work ...

Buell XB12R RM at???
we havn't used Seattle yet :D twisty in places, uphill/downhill

could suit the XB12R-RM 8O

title for the series? 'lucky 7' or 'hot 7', something like that? :lol:

Seattle sounds good as It's a one lap pony :D

My 10c would be Triumph Speed Triple RM at Tokyo :P

Buell RM @Seattle... yeah, it's an eventful lap 8O

i guess we can do seattle if for no other reason than weve never been there before.

when do we want to start? the standard 1 week after the previous championship?

yay, go seattle :D that start date suits me, if everyone else is happy with it :)

you got a name for the series yet?

Seattle is fun... in a rally car. ;) No place for a race bike IMHO though. Of course, you know what they say about opinions. :lol:

Also, two races at Fuji/Fisco seems a bit much. What do you think about taking the BMW to El Capitan or Trial Mountain?

Nice call on the RC162 at Suzuka calla! Might be my new favorite ride. Have to try it elsewhere now.

dj - it might be, but, these two dont have as much in common as the name would suggest. the 2005 is tight and techincal where as the '80s is wide open and very fast. the only thing they really have in common is the long main straight.

I ridden them both, poorly. :lol: Just looking for a change of scenery... Travel the world... Except Seattle. ;)

Seattle is fun... in a rally car. ;) No place for a race bike IMHO though. Of course, you know what they say about opinions. :lol:hehe yeah, the uphill section early on is a hairy ride :eek: that's why i suggested it tbh, it really is a challenge trying to get up that bit quickly

the rest of of the lap is easier, but still tricky in places. and of course, there's that great jump on the back straight :D

as for shifting the bmw to el cap. yeah, that could be fun 8O

ello all :) nes and calla, i think i held dario off for 3rd in the ttwss, could you finalize
the tables some time plz, to confirm the final placings?

tia :)

regarding the bmw round, please see here:

click me and vote! (http://www.motogpboards.com/showthread.php?t=840)

oops, i forgot about darios extra point for his q lap :lol:

presumably he got 3rd on a count back of better results?

why did dario get the point for best q and not me as i got a faster one???

Not that is that important :D
It's been a pleasure racing all off you guys in these series

why did dario get the point for best q and not me as i got a faster one???
hehe, dunno :) that being the case though, it gets me 3rd 8O

yeah, it was a fun series :D

and seeing as i'm idling away my time here, the next series looking like this now nes?

Honda RC162 at Suzuka Full
Honda VFR400R RM at Monaco
BMW K1200R-RM at Fuji 2005
Yamaha FZR400 RM at Grand Valley East
Ducati 999R RM at '80s Fisco
Buell XB12R RM at Seattle
Yamaha TZ250 at Nordschliefe

oops, i forgot about darios extra point for his q lap :lol:

presumably he got 3rd on a count back of better results?

There's a little mistake in it... Mthielen had better qualifyer than me, so when I lose that 1 point the 3rd is all yours. ;) Congratulation. Great competition, hope next one will be as interesting as this one. 8O
Stay tuned!

Maybe just one opinion, why don't we switch the Ducati to El capitan cause it handles the bumps so good, that torque and everything, and keep the BMW on Fuji if the guys have an issue with driving two Fuji's in series?

One more thing: Any chance of Z1000RM on Motegi full? I love that bike so I'd like to use it...

tnx dario :) i'm sure that if you do all the races next season, you'll be on or near the top of the podium 8O

apologies. i rushed through it and missed your time mthielen. points are fixed now. yes, 750, you took third. and if the two of you, (dario) had tied, i would have given the third to dario as he had more wins.

still it was a great serie, good luck to everyone in the next one

Honda RC162 at Suzuka Full
Honda VFR400R RM at Monaco
BMW K1200R-RM at Fuji 2005
Yamaha FZR400 RM at Grand Valley East

this might be possible, but, id be droping fuji 05 because id prefer the faster, more flowing 80's track.

sorry, were only using 7 rounds this season.

the order of the races is fine by me ... so, any further thoughts/comments?

I have just one question... This maybe don't belong in this thread but can you please es nes write your checkpoint times for 7'03 with tz250 at Nurb? This stage is the hardest for me cause I don't know almost nothing about it, I'm now at 7'15... :(

sure ... ill post them in the nordschliefe thread later. playing with an aprilia at el cap at the moment.

so, hows this then:

Yamaha TZ250 at Nordschliefe


the order of the races is fine by me ... so, any further thoughts/comments?
looking good 8O:D

Dammit the Buell at Seattle is fun! That and the TZ250 are the most enjoyable bikes in the game for me. Nice as well being able to hotlap without worrying about laptimes, set-up or walls too much :lol:

Anyway, good luck to everyone involved in the championship!

naked rm series next? :D

at the moment, im not sure weve enough people to run a decent championship. id like to try, possibly, a weekly race series until people return/enough interest is regained.

i know people want championships, but, as long as were still racing and having fun does it really matter?

weekely races would deffently be a short term answer though.

A Weekly Race Series sounds good to me. :up:

A podium results thread would be a nice touch.

yeah, a wrs is cool :D

I'd be interested in joining in with a next one if it happens... I actually have free time now

that's cool, ill be using the naked rms for at least the first three rounds :up:

ill be using the naked rms for at least the first three rounds :up:
:D 8O :D

how does:

naked bmw rm @ toyko
z1000 rm @ grand valley speedway
brutale rm @ high speed ring

sound so far?

BMW once again? What about CB 1300 super four, XJR 1300, GSX 1400, Triumph speed triple...

i agree that the bmw shouldn't be in this time yes, seeing as it was used recently. the brutale and
speed triple have had a turn before too

not that they shouldn't crop up in future of course, but some of the other naked rm's need a spin 8O

maybe...

suzuki gsx1400 rm @ toyko
z1000 rm @ grand valley speedway
v-max rm @ high speed ring

what you reckon, nes, dario?

its whatever you guys want :)

I'm also ok with everything... It looks like a good list 750. V-max is a little bit sloppy bike, but maybe it's worth a shot. ;)

ello all :) when's the thread for round one going to be up nes?

it's the GSX1400RM @Tokyo i assume?

tia nes :D

im not sure when ... sunday be fine?

i'm ready when you are :D

well, i already know what i want to do for at least the next three rounds. im wanting to use the road version of the Z1000 because i missed out on the RM round, but, i dont know what track to use.

id rather stick to non-street tracks because the only "street" track i like is citta. the jumps and hairpins at the end of costa ruin it. new york and seoul are flat, and featureless. seatle and toyko have no grip in the road surface, and lets not forget the jumps at seatle.

but, that doesnt mean i wont use them. so, suggestions racers? :)

you van also use Hong kong or Monaco for you race with the Z1000 es

Hi guys! Just wanted to say my wishes for the next championship (if there's gonna be one)... I think the best comp. for now was the one with 600 rm's. Teams, variable bikes, points for qualifying, races, team points... I really enjoyed playing. Is there any posibility this one can be as that? The bikes don't have to be 600 rm, they can be 600 street versions, or 1000 rm or street, or 8h bikes... But the point is to have a choice wich bike will you use, not to drive one week cause the track and bike suits you, but other week you just don't want to drive 250kg v-max... And that thing with avatar's and other things for the racers who drives every week, and ofcourse for the fastest one's seems cool. I think if we organise something like that it'll be fun. Maybe there will be more interest... What do you say Es?

P.S. I'd really want to see Sonic in this competition. Looks like he's a talented racer. I'll be glad to race against him. ;)

Stay tuned

Sonic is indeed a good racer but i think he left cause cheat braking wasn't allowed anymore

Sonic is indeed a good racer but i think he left cause cheat braking wasn't allowed anymore

Don't think that's a reason... He made very good times without trailbraking. just look at this (http://www.motogpboards.com/showthread.php?t=886), read the topic and try to cath him. He's also very good without tb.

like i said befor he's indeed a good racer, but i think once you begin with TB, it's not easy to quit cause your doing it automaticly after a while

Now doubt about FIM World Endurance Championship.I just heard about Suzuka race.

hi all :) ok, i've set up our first mini championship here (http://www.motogpboards.com/showthread.php?p=10043#post10043)

i thought we'd start of on relatively low budget machinery, to give a feel of just starting out on a career in bike racing

i'll try to keep that feel going as we progress, most likely ending up in our own version of the WSBK Championship 8O :up: :D

hi again :D
Not exactly faster, but more race oriented & a reasonable career progression from vintage 2-strokes...

TZ125 Championship :shifty:

Three different tracks too.

Maybe with hot lap qualifying submissions for bonus points by Wednesday, & running the actual multilap
races with AI by Sunday?

Sounds really good, i've been looking for a multilapper

should be great fun
ok guys, we'll do that :up:

hi all :) instead of going straight into the next championship, we've got a one-off, invitation only (to which you're all
invited, of course :D) event at the magnificent Nurburgring

the event will last for one week, and i'll announce the bike in the title post of the thread. i thought it was about time
we subjected ourselves to the green hell again 8O

Awesome idea! :up:

FWIW, the old RC162 RM is a fun ride there.

hi all :) we'll be testing 400cc rm's at motegi full next week, with a view to getting
a ride in the supersports 600 rm championship in the weeks following that 8O

ok with you all? :D

Sounds good to me. :up:

really can't wait until the supersport ^^

but the 400 RM's should be great fun :)

looking at the bikes specs...

the honda is 10bhp up and 10 years younger than the other three. so if we're going for
points, it'll end up a one bike thing imo

should we...

a) drop the honda, or
b) try to get a time in on each bike for the sake of variety, and have results per bike?

your opinions please :)

results per bike would be a lot of work, but also great fun.

Not going to vote for it, cause i'm having a 2 way battle

I'm fine too.

I would like just to suggest that if we do choose to try each bike, it would be cool if you could give us one week for each bike, as I don't have time to try, does a minimum set-up for 3 bike in one week :S

hehe, sounds to me like a 400rm trial could become a bit of a pain, what with one thing and another

so...

let's just go mad, and head straight for the 600rm supersports championship next week eh? 8O

hi again :) assuming we're going straight to the 600rm supersport championship (which unless anyone has a strong
objection, we will), i reckon we ought to...

rather than sticking to the same bike for the entire championship, we can use a different one each round if we like

once we've posted a qualifying time though (at which point we tell which bike we're on), we use the same bike for
the race as we did for q

if you fancy a different bike each round, that's cool. if you want to use the same one for the whole series, that's
cool too

ok yeah? i'm looking forward to this series, love those 600rm's :D8O

That was the first real championship i competed here. Can"t compare to as they used random tracks back then ^^

One question: is it allowed to use the Kawa and the Triumph?

One question: is it allowed to use the Kawa and the Triumph?
they're eligible for the championship in-game i believe, so yes :up:

ok, this is going to be so much fun :-)

hi :) do you guys want to do the 1000ccRM championship next, or go back to the random bike/track combo each week for a while?

if you want to do the random thing, how about we take turns choosing what bike/track/race/free run we do?

that way you guys will get to do some of your favourites, rather than getting mine thrown at you each week :D

let me know, yeah? :)

With the holiday season quickly approaching, & only a few of us left, going back to the random weekly challenge format sounds like a good plan.

At least until mt is able to participate on a regular basis again. And in the meantime maybe we'll be able to rustle up a few more participants.

You guys might want to make an every other pick only Nurburgring rule for me though, since I'd run there every week if it were up to me. ;)

ok, we'll see what ben thinks and then see where we go :)

tnx for your input, dj :up:

Hey guys !

It's really not important for me, I have a lot of fun anyways *thumbsup*
despite being always last ;) but..."The chase is better than the race" for me :)

If you want Paul, I could make a little program that randomize the bike, and the track for you ?

yes, that'd be great ben, tnx :up: that'd really throw out some funky combo's i bet 8O

ok Paul, I'll work on that ASAP ;)

oh..btw...should I include ALL the bikes..that means, the scooters too ?

if it was purely my choice, i'd leave the scooters out :lol: i wish they weren't in the game

you can't even sell them :down:

what do you say ben, in or out with the scooters? and dj too, what do you think?

Paul...can you log in MSN please ?

done :D are we contacts? :?

I'm online...can't see you :S

I used the MSN adress found on your account here

I just finished the bike/track randomizer programs

i've just added you, see me now?
