With Ladera in the books, the inaugural season of the Pirelli World Challenge TCB Series presented by Nein Shiza Autosports is at the halfway mark. Our next stop will be at the East Circuit of the storied Twin Ring Motegi Speedway. With its series of long straights, and combination of sweeping and tight corners, each car will have its own section of the track to shine on. Each segment will be 16 laps.
The grid will be established as follows: Race 1 - Random grid order Race 2 - Set by results from race 1
Both races score championship points individually
Manufacturer points will be awarded based on the average finishing position of the participating drivers
After the second race, we will run a 5 lap race at Infineon Indy (collisions off). The results of this race will be used for PI adjustments that will be in effect for rounds 11 & 12 at Infineon on January 29th.
Highlights from Rounds 9 & 10 of the PWC TC/TCB races at Mid Ohio:

Sorry I missed the festivities this evening. I had one fucked-up afternoon.
Neighbor kid comes home from school, came screaming out of his grandmother's house. I go running over to see what's going on. He says she's dead. I call 911 and go in. She wasn't dead, but damned near. Pretty severe head injury. Blood all over the fucking kitchen. Looks like a scene from Dexter. Her pulse was barely detectable. Ambulance gets there followed by Fire-Rescue. They get her loaded up while I'm trying to get the kid calmed down. Cops show up, then detectives. Since I went inside, I have to give them a statement. Kid's mom picked him up about an hour later. I spent the last several hours helping the kid's dad and a couple of other neighbors clean up the mess. I haven't seen that much blood outside of a body for a very long time. Last update we heard was she coded in the ambulance, they brought her back, and she's in surgery.
Anyways, hope the races went well. Once the finishing orders are posted, I'll work on the points & PI adjustments.

Thanks Manuel. Did anyone get the replays? If so, please send them to me or post them on your storefront. I need to see what was going on with the unregistered drivers in unapproved cars and see what (if any) impact they had on the finishing order.

I DNF'd the first race because the timer was set and my slow ass couldn't make the finish line, the second race DNF was do to lack of concentration, nuff said.
I'll run some laps @ Sears Pt and let you know my times.

I saw that! Motegi is one of my better tracks too. I was looking forward to a good run there. I was running mid 52's at Infineon earlier, so we'll see how that fleshes out. Positano is going to be interesting, but it always is.

I agree although I wish it never had the chance to. I made way, way, way to many mistakes so you were always right there trying to rattle my cage... luckily when the pressure was on I was able to run smooth and keep you from bein able to make a complete pass.
