So going by the results I came 5th? I lost out on top 4 by 2 points! :'( fek sake..... Kicking myself for that lol.

Also the red e30 BMW (I think its an e30?...) that keeps owning; should he not be up a class? IMO he's pretty shit hot.. When the rest of us see someone being twinned up were kinda like.. 'oh well, no chance here then.' lol. I figured id say it, since alot of people was saying that on the day.

Also I wanted to bring up the point of the judging. I dont know the full in's and out's obviously however going by round 1 and now round 2 is there some kind of 'in for the local's' kinda thing? The commintators were telling us to go for 'their man' obviously as a joke but its not the first time that its been said the judging has been biased.

I for one dont actually care that much as I tried to explain to alot of angry people, but if I dont mention it, it wont be said. The way I see it, judges decision is final but.. possibly a change of judges per round wouldnt be a bad thing? Maybe get someone who doesnt know any of the drivers on a personal level? Hard possibly.. impossible? I dunno I just wanted to get that out now.

As for everything else. Round 2 was working ALOT better than Round 1! So keep it up guys you all did good. The trains were off the fekin hook cool!

was the judging bias at round 1 when you came 3rd? i didnt here u moaning then mate

i think the problem with ur mates thinking its bias is that there not in the driver brief so dont no the lines you need to take and clips you need to hit. most people watching see someone smoking track up and think there better even if there way off the clips. the comentators should explane what the judges are looking for/what line drivers should be taking if you ask me so everyone on the banking no's then there wouldnt be all this shit about bias judging from people who dont no what the judges are after.

iv had 2 good results at ndc before round one id never met the judges but if you listen to what they say in brief and ask them how ur doing in practice they will tell you where ur going wrong so you can sort it out for qualifying.
 
As said on facebook, awesome weekend. Loved my first shot at twinning, need more big drift trains at the next one. :)

August, why you so far away!

Yeah what mint said! when I was up with the red e30 bmw in top 16 I just thought whats the point as I knew I was clearly going out, so just went for full on attack mode and just completely lost it hence the pathetic 9 points :( but the lead up to that feeling i was loving the whole event and was quite surprised at how much seat time I actually got :) thanks to jen for the event and I very much look forward to round 3 hopefully I keep my cool at bit more when paired up and actually score some decent points!

as far as judging goes.... I heard a few things from round 1 but as I wasnt there I didnt want to believe it until I seen ti for myself and well I thought there wasnt much wrong with it and most decisions was fair! :S

Well that's put a downer on the thread!

Should have been left with awesome weekend thanks to Davd and Jen for going to the great lengths of sorting everything out.

So is there gonna be a practice between now and August??? This is the big question we all wanna know the answer to I'm sure.
