So I touched base the other day on Global Time Attack announcing a series championship, or more John Naderi rambling on about how they might be and so on well anyway it was legit and not just the usual Nad's "I'm hammered and going to throw out a bone with no bearing deal" So what does this mean? Well for one it's a good thing for the teams and sponsors as I stated before you can smack someone's record but you can't take away a season championship.
Confirmed Series Championship
It looks like Nad's and JD (not the drink the other dude that actually makes some form of sense down there at HQ GTA!) have put somethings in place so you don't get the bullshit that made Redline's such an epic fail, Sorry Dez no renting a 80hp slushbox shitpile for points this year mate! It looks like if you wad/blow/leave your car at home you have to get permission via a panel to switch to an alternate. It also looks like the same panel have to agree to let you switch driver.... So whoever you are on this elite panel please let me know I need to send you all some hooker and blow as we're going to have to substitute Beckham for the Hobbit for Road Atlanta due to those homo's at the LA Galaxy wanting to play a Soccer game that weekend(I can't even write that word without gagging, it's football you bunch of sceptic tanks! no not your hand egg game with the padded faggots!)
GR8
If you didn't watch the web show thing with Nad's the other day then you probably have no idea what the GR8 is. So basically on the Sunday the fastest 8 cars from the weekend are going to be invited to run in a bracket race wheel to wheel race. The first round will see 4 match ups with the winner moving forward. From what I hear this is going to be a rolling start behind a pace car setup with it being a sprint to the finish 2 laps. I kind of wished it would have been a standing start that would have kicked ass but hey I can't expect the GTA guys to get everything right now can!
It looks like there is going to be some decent coin to the winner so I expect teams to take this seriously! Not only that with some of the events mixed in with other race series it should prove to be a pretty entertaining thing to watch. I know I for one can't wait to go wheel to wheel with the car bowler Christian Rado! Christian if your reading this mate your little grocery getter better bring some bigger balls this year or your going to need binoculars to see the arse of the L!
** Late edit here! ** I think any of the cars regardless of class in the GR8 should be able to run whatever tires they choose for this, so for example if a street AWD car is the 8th fastest overall and invited to run they should be able to steal some slicks from an unlimited team and be able to run them!
Global Time Attack and Superlap Battle to combine
Well I heard about this on the MotoIQ radio broadcast last week, for some reason it was not on the GTA Web cast I heard it was something perhaps pertaining to getting everything legally dialed! I guess that would mean I shouldn't write about here but whatever I don't give a shit someone can sue me for all the pennies I have on my desk (I just want the lint back!)
Anyway looks like the season finale will be at everyone's favorite dusty shithole in the middle of nowhere, yea you got it Buttonwillow!
I am curious what the rules merge will look like but I think it's safe to assume unlimited cars will be on DOT tires but I can live in hope and November is a whiles away so something could change.
Anyway that's it, it's Friday I'm pretty much done for the week so in closing I'll leave you with this......................... wait for it.....................................................................................................................................
