Typical Stoxnet reply Dave Wayne, responding to something that wasn't said rather than what was said
I don't know where the rubbish bit has come from.So a handful of final wins and one unofficial title during the early years, that reflects what I said perfectly
Depends what you want to base your vote on I guess. In that case I'll change mine to 34 Mal Brown, for that one time he took Sworder out at Coventry. Dunno what year it was but it was definitely during the last decade.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion but most seem to be ignoring the "decade" part of this vote...
All the drivers mentioned have had periods during the last 10 years where they were more dominant than others, but if you take the 10 year period as a whole then it has to be 515.
84 a close second, but I don't recall him being particularly brilliant during the early years of this decade. Speaky, SSJ, Finnikin etc have all been the "top driver" but only for short bursts in comparison to FWJ's consistency.
At the end of each season you could look back at who was fighting for the honours and it was always 515 vs driver A or 515 vs driver B etc. The challengers recycled themselves each season but there was always one consistent, 515.0 -
Nice to see another lady hitting the tracks. Anyone know anything about Hannah Chappel - other formulas, her car, family connections to F1 etc ?
Hannah is fairly established driver in F1 already. She has done a number of meetings, including 2 (or more?) Under 25 Championship races. She was part of the Tim Warwick team for years before being old enough to race F1 herself, she uses Tim's car. I think she also races Stoxkarts and has raced go-karts in her younger years as well.

Regarding the closure, are there diversions in place from the end of the road?
I don't know what direction you are coming from to the track, but my advice is find Venetia Road which is a side road along Garrison Lane. That will take you through a gate and into the Wheels site from the rear.

Shale one week, tarmac the next would be more than enough for everyone,
Ironically, the fixture list is deliberately scheduled to do the opposite of this to encourage a higher turnout of drivers per meeting. I believe this was at the request of the majority of drivers / drivers with one car for both surfaces.

I've noticed Charlie Sworder booked in has anyone got any info regarding mick I believe on a previous post he's sold his tarmac car,or is he having a year out.
Towards the end of 2017 Mick said he was giving up tarmac and only doing shale. I believe he was waiting for his shale car engine to return from the US after being rebuilt, and was planning to race at the British but obviously this didn't happen so I can only assume the engine isn't finished or the team haven't got the rest of the car ready to race yet because they've concentrated on Charlie's car.

Thanks for the results, team!
Well done 445. A bit awkward for everybody else, though. They'll have to think up another rule change now.0 -
Generally speaking, a 4, 5 or 6 year old will not appreciate or understand what is going on, and more than likely is only there because the parent(s) dragged them along instead of arranging childcare. So understandable for their entry to be a lot cheaper / free.
However, a 14, 15 or 16 year old is going to get the same experience from the meeting that somebody twice or three times their age will. So why should they pay less for it?
Not really. My 13 year old appreciates and enjoys the racing now about the same as he did when he was 2. As he likes it so much, should he have paid adult price when he was 2?
Assuming your tongue was firmly in your cheek with that comment

It will be my first time visiting the place, really looking forward to it. As others have said, once you factor in travel cost and the like, £20 for the meeting on offer seems very reasonable to me.
As for child entry costs, I think the problem lies more with what you define as a child compared to an adult.

But the question is, at what age does that level of understanding change? It's open to interpretation and therefore not everybody will agree with the age limits set out by the promoter.

Thanks for the results team
Is one of those 84's shown in the GN result, actually 94 perhaps ?
94 was 2nd in the GN. 84 tangled and stalled early on in the race.

Sorry for interrupting the results thread but is 1 missing from 3rd place in the heat one results?
Edit: sorted0 -
What car would 464 drive if he's at Stoke ?
I doubt he would take his place on shale. That's why Team Davidson always have two drivers, so at least one of them will do both surfaces.

Neil Scothern hasn't raced this year has he?.
He's not in the national points table so I assume he hasn't. But as that's just an assumption, we'll have to wait for Big D 152 to let us know which website we can find the answer on.

Interesting thoughts from DJ as to why we have so few foreign drivers competing over here in recent years. Trying to coax a bit of fight from the Dutch perhaps?

I don't know where the rubbish bit has come from.
Wreckfest PS4 F1 league
in Essential Information

I agree with Linky, it was genuinely entertaining! Definitely helps fill a gap left by no real life racing.
And as somebody who also plays this game, albeit on Xbox, I was very interested to see the differences on PS (eg, the cars don't fall apart as soon as you get one little tap, and you can actually move cars out the way with a hit!) I feel like Wreckfest would have been a much better platform for the summer online F1 series, the racing is far more realistic.
How is the racing moderated? I noticed in the one heat a driver got put in very hard, then they waited at the side of the track facing the wrong way and pulled out in front of the car that put them in. Is that sort of thing dealt with in anyway?
