South African Touring Car Championship 2009 (RACE 07)
- Thread starter Mark Guy
- Start date
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Off to Monza for some flat out, ozone damaging, scarce oil resources fuel wasting fun. Bongani was relishing in his new post of Greenpeace spokesman (Africa Branch) and when rumours were flying that Italy would be hot as hell he used the opportunity to fly in from South Africa to canvass support for stopping global warming.
Everyone was happy to see Bongani of course and pretty soon the SA boys were organising a braai. The only meat around however were meat balls in a tomato sauce, but Bongani stepped up to the plate and sent his corporate jet back to buy some proper home grown steaks, tjops and wors. Nobody even thought about sending a cooler box with.
The early afternoon braai was something to remember. Lots of beers, pretty girls and enough prime meat to feed a small army. The battle for championship honours between Mark Guy and Zaahir Essa forgotten for a while.
By the time race 1 was supposed to start most guys were feeling a bit under the weather but 8 o' clock is 8 o' clock and 8 o' clock the race starts - ready or not. The only thing growling louder than the engines were the stomachs.
Race 1 will be remembered for Essa that in his haste to get to the end as quickly as possible, he racked up stop and goes faster than Bongani could accumilate Voyager miles. Rumour has it that Essa incurred the penalties on purpose just to visit the bathroom. Enquiries to clear up the matter was met with "no comment" from his manager. The race was won by Guy, followed by Craig Hume - whose recent form has been ascribed to his rigorous training schedule of late in the action cricket arena. The final podium spot is a bit fuzzy, but it could even have been yours truly.
Race 2 started immediately afterwards - no bathroom break included. Guys got a bit savvy noticing that stop and go was not the way to rake up points. But what to do? Anyway - the race was on with a couple of guys streaking away in front. The rest of the pack were whincing their way around the track when race radio crackled and informed the gang that the spectators had been moved away from Ascari due to a suspected gas leak. The race was on! To get to the sand trap first. For some well earned relief.
Ivor Topley won the dice to the trap followed closely by most of the rest of the pack. Shielded by a dust cloud most guys did their business like cats leaving no trace.
Up front the race was won by Robert McColl, followed by Essa and Hume. The results leaves Essa with everything to do and Guy with everything to lose at the final difficult race in Macau.
Due to the guys hanging around a bit after the races they missed the flight to Macau. Bongani made amends by promising everyone a lift in the corporate jet.

Hey Guys
Let me know you're thoughts on season 2.
My thoughts are the following:
Mod: Radicals SR4 252
Tracks: A mix of standard and addon tracks. (including a possible night event)
Dates: Every second tuesday, starting in 3 weeks time (or thereabouts)
Times:
Praccy @ 17:30 gmt (19:30 SA time)
Qualy (superpole) @ 18:15 gmt (20:15 SA time)
Race @ 18:30 gmt (20:30 SA time)
Race distance: 60 minutes
Weather: Changeable
I would like to start off with 15 SA drivers and 10 international drivers.
This can always be changed, but would be the ball park figure
See what you think and let me knowoke:
Thanks
Craig

Wooooooh Macau!!! Can i request a south african passport on the fly please
Nope, little sports car
It kinda looks like a Shelby Can-am Zee.
Season 2 will be a shortish one again. If the powers that be are fine we will run a longer season 3. That will be the main season with the F3000. Currently there is a F3000 series running in RD, so i think it would be better to try run something else for now so that we can try fill the grids
Dont get me wrong though, the Radicals are good
