**Announcing the Overclockers UK Racing Championship**

Busy this week so will struggle to get on and have a go, I did do a run the other day and best time was 1:31.0 so with some practice I could probably find a second, then I'd lose it by switching to VR lol. Paradigm are you going to have a go just to see how you compare, I'm struggling to find any free time at weekends to go.
 
Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't kept this thread as alive as I wanted to.

Current top 5:

J Garner - 1:29.618
M Thornton - 1:30.014
J Mills - 1:30.356
R Jackson (Aero Rich) - 1:31.132
C Thompson - 1:31.546

Keep practising! We may be coming to a city near you soon, with a 4 date UK tour scheduled in the coming weeks.

Track is good old Donny GP, with the car remaining the same OcUK liveried Megane V6! Settings are as before in terms of TC, ABS, damage and tyre wear.

If you attend during the week and have any problems, get the shop staff to ask for Hal, and I will come downstairs.

Nice 1 Hal,

So it's ABS only?

It was posted on your FB page that SC was on as well?

Hmm, my 31.1 won't be staying there I think, quite pleased though with that lap as I was the only 1 who had zero practice.

Feel free to come down to South Wales and/or Bristol area.

It'll save me £50 and 4 hrs.
 
I see just the top 5 times are there. I'm sure it's been mentioned that the 6 fastest will go through?

Also, good times from Malloy22 and paradigm. Were those both with tuned setups?

Aye, tuned sub 28.9 ,29.1, do I assume right that you are J. Garner or J. Mills?

I seem to remember a Growling Jimbo from GTP on GT5/6. ;)

EDIT: It's come to me now, Growling from GTP, mostly GT academy posts and stuff.

Haha small world eh rich? I spent my life in the gt academy forums for months. What's your gtp name?

Yeah J Garner is me.

Bloody hell, what a guess, haha.

My GTP/PSN id is numbnuts70, not been on GTP for a bit though.

Nice lap on the VR rig, proper quick, I seem to remember you were never a slouch. :D
 
Ahh yeah I remember you!

I've now left TRL and we have a team made of just our GT Academy race camp UK team. We race in the PCARS ESL league at the moment.

Right, GTA.... Tidgney, Bishop and Matty I've noticed on the forums there.

I've just dipped my toe in with them too but not had good experience so far, got taken out in a 1-on-1 race #24 and the same happened in the Imola #69 round as well but I'll keep plugging away.

It's good that they can pull in all the 'aliens' with the cash prizes, I'm undecided at the moment whether to go PS4 or PC, just want some clean racing but as their min age limit is 6, it comes with the territory I suppose.

EDIT: Just looked now, you made the final round on Sunday, the Vantage was the car of choice I see, looks like Road America for Sunday coming.

Yeah that's the downside, some definite questionable driving! We're just some mates having fun though. Although Matty has made the multi championship pro class lol.

Edit: Keep plugging though mate. Some good racing can be had in the esl.

You can not run over the kerbs as much in TT as in the solo race mode. I did a 1.29.2 in solo race last night without TCS and stock settings. I need to have a go on my wheel!
