    Yet I decided to modify them anyway and it may of cost me a win/afew places :(

    Congrats to Horse, the 1man show finally winning :D

    The Title chase is now down to 36pts with 6races to go.


    Checking the stats, only Robo has yet to win a race.

    The "One man show" is technically leading the title race by a mile, as he has no-one to load data from.....we are all cheating.

    Begley with teh Kool Tools now also.

    Competition is not about equity!:p That said, it's a huge handicap to not have a team mate to share data with. Makes my ****tyness over two terrible starts seem insignificant.

    This is absolute BS. I've had three DNF's, then had two blown starts in the last round losing 30+secs in each race and now my car couldn't make it to the circuit for qualifying. WTF????

    You're still leading the championship though, so obviously the rest of us have had our share of bad luck so far too. ;)

    Luck is what it boils down to in the end, no skill is actually required (as far as I can tell).

    I'm leading despite having more than my fair share of bad luck, because of my vastly superior setup skills and strategy, well that and my ability to copy Steve's setup! :p

    ok i have a problem. My phoneline has been out since friday (telstra...) so i come back online today to login and do a setup in warmup. The problem is though, is that batracer is telling me "you have 0 laps remaing" in which to do my setup.

    We're still in the warmup stage, i haven't run any laps, how is this possible?

    Not really, you have had the least amount of DNF's to your name 3 = with Horse. Everyone else has had more and in this championship where not finishing means 0 pts its a big deal.

    Every other Championship we have done as long as you finished in a pts place you would get the pts. If this was the case for this championship it maybe a different leader...

    Perfect example is Pless he has the same amount of podiums as you yet because of the 8 DNF's he is some 500pts behind.

    It seems strange that V8's have this rule and no other Motor sport Championship does.

    The only way they gonna fix V8 Supercars, is make it open to other companies and engines. We have had 10yrs of V8's it is time for a change.

    You can sort of see why with V8s though, to some extent, because most other series only give you points for finishing near the front, rather than handing them out for being 147th like V8s do ;)
