I don't belive enthusiasm is a huge factor, granted it wouldn't hurt, but, your analizing of a race is very good, and I feel enthusiasm will come as the series gets history behind it, look at the TMMC, Cynon really started getting fired up during races in 2010 and 2011. Which compared that to 2007 which was the series debut. So enthusiasm will come with time. Music was quite noisy, Try using a background theme that doesn't stand out, becuase the background theme is well, the background. Other NR2003 leagues suffer from this, and ones that have been around twice as long as the Dash Cup. Very Happy

[OOC] I'd like to apologize for the sloppy presentation of the race at times. Sony Vegas was being a massive problem, and the static at one point in the video never covered the whole screen due to a rendering failure or something. Once again, sorry.

It covered up what it needed to. You couldn't really see anything. Besides, this explains why the mic was a little warpy.

OOC: I think your commentary was much improved from last time. You weren't mumbling and I could hear you clear as day. And like flyingturns said, don't worry too much about the static, it did its job well enough.

Dash Cup Officials Release Statements About Weekend

"First off, concerning the fatal accident on lap 27, we will be looking into how we can reinforce the roofs. We are shocked that a driver was killed in the accident, never mind two. We will be developing a new car for the 2013 season. This could be minor changes, such as reinforced roofs and windshields, or a totally new model altogether. We are also planning to drop Rockingham from the 2013 schedule due to the large amounts of crashes this weekend. We send our condolences to the Tremblay and Glenhooke families also.

Secondly, we said after Eurospeedway, the crashing under caution will stop, and yes, we have been extremely harsh with the penalty to the #68 team, but enough is enough. We warned him after Norisring that he was on a thin line, and then he wrecks 6 or 7 perfectly good race cars under caution... we are not tolerating that, and this is a final warning to all drivers that we will impose very harsh penalties for crashing under yellow flag conditions at ovals. The penalties will only get harsher.

And finally, we are looking into the case with the #05 team, driver Jakob Hughes and owner Pedro Lopez."

Team Kwik Fit Also Release Statement

"Before we start, we must send our condolences to Ben and Shawn. Both were good racers, and we even had the pleasure of letting Ben drive for us once or twice when he was young. Rest in Peace.

The case with Steve Aboagye... we are not pleased with him, and we fully support the officials decision of suspending him. We may even take matters into our own hands after this. We have spoke with officials, and during the rounds of Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and Nurburgring, we will have Harriet Wallace replace him. That is all we will say at this point in time. Thank you."

Dash Cup Officials Shut Down #05 Team; Hughes to Atlantic

The Dash Cup officials released that they have gathered enough evidence to shut down the #05 team and prevent Lopez from owning a Dash Cup team ever again. The main reason they stated for shutting down the team was for the safety of driver Jakob Hughes. Unfortunately, this seen Hughes out of his ride, which is where Atlantic Motorsports came in, in the decision to give the #31 car to Jakob Hughes when Verity Logan is not in the car. He will run an unsponsored #32 car during the races that Logan is in, meaning that Hughes will still make every single race.

"Hughes is a talented driver" stated owner Ben Atkins. "We're glad to have him on our team, and I'm glad we can fund his campaign and Verity's at the same time. We are optimistic for him"

(If you want black schemes, get them in quickly please Razz)

Yes, you did my #9 car. I was going to put a request for an all-black paint scheme for my car.

Race 4 will be up tomorrow. I'll render it overnight tonight, since it's looking like the render could be up to 3-4 hours long, and me being the impatient person I am, I figured it would be best to do it overnight Razz

Funny you should mention that, because I'm actually looking for more part-timers. Just PM me the driver schedule (up to 5 races) and driver/car info and you should be good to go.

But there will be a new mod, according to Ben, it's a possible mod by Smiffsden.

Ethel Grimshaw documentary released today

4-1-12: The success and tragedy of 92 year old Ethel Grimshaw still lies fresh in the minds of many within the Dash Cup Series. As a one-off rookie driver with a underfunded team, Grimshaw managed the impossible. In her very first stock car race (let alone first taste of driving a high performance vehicle), she pulled off a huge upset victory in the first race of the new series. A senior citizen winning a stock car race is simply absurd, yet Ethel Grimshaw proved the naysayers wrong.

The next week however, Grimshaw suffered fatal injuries in a race ending multi car pileup at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The documentary, titled "Too Fast for Age" chronicles Grimshaw's decision to pursue one of her bucket list dreams: driving a race car. The film has recieved widespread praise among critics and was called a "work of excellence" by Ebert and Roper and described as a "must see" by former Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip

The film, already a award winner at the Sundance Festival, premieres across the country tonight at 12AM.

I'm severely confused. The results for Brans Hatch linked to in the thread are completely different from the ones on TMPedia. I'm inclined to side with TMP on this one since I'm almost positive Daniel Miller won the race.

... I totally didn't upload the wrong set of results...

Well, that's embarrassing. Those are the results... for what was going to be the next race. Now I need to re-run that.

Nurburgring deemed unsafe; race moved to Mallory Park

After a turn in events, one of the Dash Cup's more anticipated races has been cancelled after the Nordschliefe layout of the track is deemed unsafe to run. As a result, Dash Cup officials have decided to make the England Tour longer by a race, and go to the Mallory Park Oval in Leicester. This will now be the shortest track on the Dash Cup schedule, at just 1 mile long.

"Safety is a massive factor in our league now after Rockingham. Nurburgring is an iconic track, but we can't take the risk of having a car go off somewhere on the course, and us not being able to locate it. The walls also are quite lethal, it seems, as they can easily send the car into a roll. Again, we don't want that on such a narrow track, and thus, Mallory Park said they would host the event instead." -Dash Cup Officials Statement

(OOC: I couldn't use either version of the track, since on both the cars float. Mallory Park is a much better track.)
