Announcing the Overclockers UK Racing Championship

Morning guys, girls, apache attack helicopters, and everyone else!

The ROUND 3 qualifies will END on 17th June, so BOOK NOW to avoid missing out. This is 1 week before the visit to Bedford Autodrome, so if you think you're gonna be in that top 6, I wouldn't go making plans! We'll be in contact Monday 19th June to get sizes for stuff, like jackets and such.

Now then now then... here's the tasty icing on the cake you may not have been clued in on. Those of you lucky enough to place top 3 will be coming to the finals with the top 3 from Round 1 and Round 2 (this you already know) however - we will be teaming up with some partners to make the finals even more competitive... keep your eyeballs open as hopefully next week I'll pop a post in here about what you can win at the finals!

So def not 10th June as suggested earlier? I had booked to come in the 10th as it was the last day - but it's awkward cos its a Saturday. Will come in the week after if those dates are availabe?

Thanks for the heads up, I've amended that, but yeah we've extended it to literally 1 week before to give you guys more of a chance to get some sneaky final times in

Has the booking page gone haywire or has the rest of this week been almost totally booked up?

nicRob · 6 Jun 2017 at 21:23

Long way to go for me (~120 miles each way!) for a very short go, but had a quick try and pace isn't too bad considering I've not played pcars since beta. Bit more practice over next few nights and hopefully I can get a decent time in!

Did you manage to set a time Rich?

Bookings have looked busy this week! Any new times which have made the top 6 leaderboards admin?

No, not yet m8, I've had to re-arrange for next week.

I'll tell you what though, I'm not feeling confident of posting a competitive enough time for a top 6 spot, the difference the 50L of fuel makes is well noticeable and I'll be struggling to get out of the 1.09s and into the 1.08s.

Be nice to have an update on any new entries in the top 6 as they're posted....#cough# #cough#....admin.

Yeah, I agree an update soon would be nice as there's been quite a few bookings since the last one. I'm coming up on Saturday, not looking forward to the 7 hour round trip drive aha.

Any reason why you're using 50L onboard Rich - thought it was 15L. Did a session with 50L onboard yesterday and it was a real struggle to break into the 1:07's, could only get down to a 1:08.1.

Born2BSlow · 8 Jun 2017 at 12:52

Isn't it default set, and 50L is the default?

It was on 50L for the last round, it was on 15.9L default on the PC for TT, then I had to reset it to default via the tuning sheet to get it to 50L for the 10 lapper.

About the same time journey for me too, 300+ mile round trip.

I think you'll be OK to qualify Matt.

I can only daydream about a 1.07s.

Drive up/down, have a go, carry on/go back a bit, go Manchester for the day

Cracking experience this, it's well worth the trip! Was a bit sceptical about the whole VR thing, but I now want VR haha

! Surprised to see my time is already in there as well

!

dazb · 9 Jun 2017 at 16:34

anderp: That doesn't include the times that my friend and I set on the 1st of June. They were both 1:09's

nicRob · 9 Jun 2017 at 20:49

Nice time at the top now! Done another 10 laps at home, spread between 1:08.2-7, still losing time in a few places though, and messing up when I get good splits! Shall see how I do tomorrow, hopefully keep form or improve

Rex · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:03

Had a go today. Had a bit of practice at home. Found that i was about 1 second down on what I normally achieve. Hopefully will stay in top 6. Really enjoyed the rig but being a bit of a short arse had to sit in a bit of a mini cab driver position.

banja · 9 Jun 2017 at 21:45

That 8 flat is a great time. I can barely get close to that on my home rig, and like I say I was a second slower on the VR rig. I'm going up for another go next week. Fingers crossed!
