Flibutz's Three Ring Circus (posted 1/17/06)

Ring Race Challenge pt.II -the mini version

(original challenge by sackedagain)

In the three 'Ring races listed below, get as many A-Spec points as you can. Since you pick the car to use in each race, you set the bar as high or low as you want.

These are the rules:

a. Only one try at each race. No practicing. If you don't like the line-up or the A-Spec points, quit before the bell rings. Then find a new car or line-up. Once the bell sounds, your choice of car is official. Finish the race.

b. Do not race your potential car in other races in the series to check its performance. Your choice will be based on the line-up against you and the A-Spec
points available.


Report back with results. I'm hoping we hear some good race stories and learn something along the way. Friendly competition, as always.

Here are the three series with Ring races that I've picked for this challenge:

1. European Events - Schwarzwald Liga B
2. Manufacturers Events - Mercedes - Legend of the Silver Arrow
3. Extreme Events - Real Circuit Tours
