Very exciting end to Heat 2 at Kings Lynn on Friday. We hope for more of the same this Friday at Sheffield 9:00PM.Thanks for your responses JC to the issues you have, moving on
This example from another thread (and i presume it uses the same template as yours) shows how simple one camera can make it easy to follow what's going on.
It also uses zoom to get close to the action on the bends.
And i agree Steve, The De Kock joke was funny 1st time. To expand on what i've already said, maybe Serge should have his mobile on Silent. Perhaps kept in his pocket in vibrator mode. There Serge, i'm feeding you another line to play with .........................

To the Producers of the Stream who are clearly still experimenting
I found week 2 much easier to watch than week 3
Week 2 was a huge improvement in following the racing continuity.
Week 3 seemed to revert back to disjointed jumping about from one angle to another.Overall , still a treat though 👍
and Serge should try ignoring texts during a race ......................

Ben that's brilliant. Thanks for posting.
I love the way the cars react when they hit the tyres ! No 84 at the end, seemed to be having some kind of Fit on the tyres.I'm now looking forward to the Grand re-opening of Brandon. It's got to happen .....
And Steve, I expect Mr Sargent was using Graham Brown as his mentor . Wonder how many bottles / cans were necked !!

Overall it was a great escape from dreadful Saturday tv .
One of the Commentators should maybe start drinking a little later .......................... perhaps ?0 -

Kelvin is a great character
👍 He's an absolute Star
He would be great to have on the roving microphone , interviewing Drivers before & after races.
Naturally funny guy. We need more characters like him.

The result of this was never in doubt
Pointless holding back the winner as it's bloomin' obvious !0 -
Im genuinely excited for this meeting , I might even pay Steve £28 to get in 😂
I'll raise you 5 .
Keep the faith as we will have some news to announce later in November if all comes together
Such a tease

Totally agree with your observation. It's still early doors, so it wouldn't surprise me to see the number nearer to 50 by weekend.
Looks like Dan has gone into hibernation for this year, which is a pity, as he goes well at Stoke.
A bit of factual information.
Of the 39 cars that raced at the first meeting, 14 of them are not currently booked in to race this Saturday. And we have 16 drivers booked in or this Saturday that did not race at the first meeting. And 25 at both meetings.
So, could this be a further 14 possible bookings (at least ) ?
Brilliant if Stoke could get a huge send off
Andy - Great snap of the scene from Airplane
Do you like films about Gladiators ?

It's getting to the stage on here where one has to deploy your pre-post declaration , before saying anything !
Well Done

I`m really looking forward to the Stoxnet Stoke Punch and Judy show.....are we drawing lots over who is going to self appoint themselves the role of the Policeman?
This end of season Pantomime has got my juices flowing to.
No-one seems to be able to deal with Tom on track , so this off track entertainment will fill the gap.
I'm guessing that race 12a is how to avoid having an unlucky race.
If 'Tribute to Stoke' is a race of any kind, then i'll be bunkered. That's real cryptic.
Now i must dash, I've got grass to cut, Brexit to prepare for, clinkers to riddle and pots to side
Adios . Should be a great meeting btw , Count me in

Its same car he had last year n hes winter re-Ferb and Ben Howard use it in Holland
I had wondered if it was the Venray Ben Howerd car, but it looks so new !
Hope he bags loads of points as a reward for all the effort

Absolute stunner.
Anyone know who built it ?

According to the fixture list in the link above both Sat and sun are both shootout rounds.
Will C meant that Sunday is a Shootout meeting, and not a WCQR as well
Saturday is both !

120 Casey Englestone ran in his refurbed Newson car at Swaffham Saturday just gone - in prep for this coming weekend I would assume.
Casey has really impressed me this year (amongst others)
One to keep an eye on this weekend.
Nice to see Parking free. It wasn't at the previous meeting.

Cheers Daniel for those links

Cheers for responses. I should've picked that up from the picture.
Are ORCi mini drivers still youngsters & Could drivers race in both formula or is there strict rules that forbid it ?
£36 for these two meetings seems like good value for money . Well done Rob

Skegness always seem to deliver a great mixed bag of goodies to tempt the paying punters off their sofas.
A weekend of Silver & Gold !!
Not F1, but what's the difference between National Ministox (Saturday) and ORCi minis (Sunday) ?

Would seem you have a issue with Skegness from past posts then again I might be wrong again
Do you mean me Stox ?
Very wrong if you do. I absolutely love Skegness. I was there at the last weekender and will be there for the next.
I'm delighted that both days will be Shootout rounds
That's an interesting theory about two rounds each Promoter. On further investigation it's
Belle Vue Promotions get 4, Incarace - 3, Kings Lynn - 1 and Rob - 2
But maybe it is that Incarace get 3 (for whatever reason) and they chose Mildenall over Hednesford
Perhaps the Promoters 'buy' Shootout rounds , in the same way that they buy dates ??

Some great writing there Nealius
I personally agree with everything Betwetter has put in his post. You have cleverly questioned every morcel of his post, But not many answers or opinions on his points.
Then you've cleverly criticised my opinion without offering an opinion of your own. I'd really like to hear your opinion, in your unique style, on Incarace advertising this as a Shootout round for several weeks, when it wasn't.
Similarly, your opinion please on the the fixture list. Skeggy getting two Shootouts and Hednesford not getting one at all.
People campaigned for :-
Votes for Women, LGBT rights, and currently, the environment, to name but a few.You don't get change where there are issues, without someone standing up and telling the world we need change.
Ozzy (like myself) is very passionate about this Sport. He continuously campaigns for cost cutting measures to help stop the rot.
That's all he can do until someone listens.
Also you're making interpretations of people's posts as being fact. But not a major issue really.
All in all though, Great stuff. Keep it up.
Opinions are what foruming is all about.
and Best of all, you didn't use the word 'moan' ................. extra Brownie points for that

If anyone can't understand the negativity about this, they should actually look at it realistically to understand
If you turned up at Kings Lynn World Final, and they said Oh, it's not the world final at all , I'm sure you would feel as i do about this.
Hitting the keyboards to type 'moan' & 'moans' is not the answer. It's a favourite get out of jail card for quite a few on here.
And Yes Paul, i agree, Luke Davidson is a great bloke. His cars, his team, him himself, are a credit to the Sport.
I admire Nic's positivity especially, as he gave Hednesford a race rating of zero for the British. Glad he's forgiven the promoter. Time is a great healer.
I'm sure it will be for me, and i'll do the same.
I'm guessing the Incarace website is being updated and that's why it's not showing accurately at the moment.
If you click the running order link, it shows two heats for F1's, Final & GN.
11 Races in total
On a positive note, Hednesford is thee best track we have. Incarace do slick well run meetings and run them professionally.
Great uniforms on the staff, and i love the Pace Car touch

If F1 are now the support formula with 20 cars, What are the F2's with 16 cars ? !
F1 and F2 are both support formulas on Sunday. The headline act is the Saloon Stock Car ORC Championship.
In defence of F2s though, they do have a clashing meeting at St Day which will have taken some of the drivers that would normally travel up to Hednesford from the south west, and some drivers may be taking time out prior to the Shootout starting next week with a Taunton/Bristol double header.
I had thought there must be another meeting for the f2's
There are only two star drivers, one is not in the shootout, so only one of the twelve shootout drivers racing. If this had been a shootout round you would have had 11 more drivers plus Matt would have had a couple of cars there and maybe 211 555 and 175 would have come with Frankie. Probably another 15/16 drivers plus the 20 booked would have been a decent turnout.
Precisely my thoughts
I was looking forward to seeing my first shootout round at Hednesford ever
Last time i looked on Incarace site, it definitely was a shootout round, as someone else has pointed out earlier.
That is what niggles me. How they got that wrong is anyone's guess.
It doesn't help that the two stars attending are also a team . Luke works as Tom's wing man, especially evident at Ipswich in June.
No need for that here, as there will be no-one for Luke to hold back from challenging Tom.
30 odd cars all in at Hednesford would have been awesome

Rod Matthew why dont you apply to go on the brisca or bscda committee? Or speak to the drivers who are not booked in and ask them why they are not racing
Sadly Paul, I doubt whether anyone with my common sense approach to administration stands a chance of being on either committee.
I know why some drivers aren't going, which is why there's an issue with car numbers and people are disappointed.
In another thread, I'm trying to find out who decided that this wouldn't have shootout status, so that i can ask them why not.
And I'll repeat, Car numbers is not a major issue for me personally.

I tend to agree that 20ish F1s at Hednesford doesn't really sound all that appealing. But 40ish saloons does.
Agreed Carl, but I have been holding back on my traditional 'support formula' comment. 😉
If F1 are now the support formula with 20 cars, What are the F2's with 16 cars ? !
This meeting should have been given shootout status, and Skeggy only given one for it's speed weekend.
That would have helped increase car numbers ( & therefore paying customers)
Thanks for answering my 422 question by the way, only just seen it.

It needed to be a shootout and perhaps a QR then there might have been mid 30s. Major fixture error I’m afraid. Great shame as given enough cars racing can be very good.
I definitely read somewhere that this was a shootout meeting
And it should be, especially with so few tarmac rounds. Are the powers that be not able to sign off a few papers to make it one ?
They can ban a driver within 24 hours for whatever, but are unable to deploy common sense when the Sport needs all the help it can get.
It's Bonkers.
And if that's not bad enough, Kings Lynn is announced as World Final venue for 2nd year in succession.
Wondered how long it would be before the usual low car number moans.
And it didn't take you long Bryan, as per usual, to moan about people having an opinion

SATURDAY 18TH APRIL @ 6PM - BSCDA/BriSCA F1 E-SERIES ROUND 3 - KING'S LYNN
in Essential Information
Posted
Ha Ha - Didn't even notice i'd spelt Sarge's name wrong !
I am enjoying the banter to, they're great. They could expand the inbetween race stuff with text stuff . Have some fun with it. They could even have a little contest between each other, to predict the Top 3 in each race, with a points system for right predictions.
But no text stuff whilst racing in progress .......................... Please
Thanks again to ALL involved in producing this alternative to the real thing, and to the Drivers giving their all from home 👌
