Ive won the final round of the season making it 8 wins out of 10. If it weren't for the fact I retired on one and forgot to enter the other it could of been a 100% win ratio . I'm glad to see the new A8 Ive bought is performing well too. After the retirement mid-week I was worried it might be a bit cursed.

Well i knew a DNF would be on the cards this week as its a pretty standard car apart from the engine (new car see). I've entered another non-league rally before season closes (II.3 maybe? cant remember ) which will hopefully see its first finish. New driver is doing ok atm, surface wasnt in his favour this week. Next season will be a big development curve thats for sure!

Well not really a lot to say about my I.1GB rally - retirement on stage 4. Up until then 23rd overall which for a N1 aint bad.
I hope that Luke can get his 1st point of the season in his A5, this would also knock me into the drop zone (i think) so i might be able to follow Curt and have a decent time in a lower championship while i sort my team out.

Im annoyed. For the last 2 rallys, my team hasnt been nominated. And guess what, I'm 10th overall 1st A6 and 3rd 2WD. Alot of retirements means for strange results.

I bet it's even longer since an A5 scored points. My second A5 lasted until the final stage before packing up, it'd just caught Sainz one on SS15 then we both go out on SS16. Looks like the A5 final result will be + denotes team is eligible for Non-I.1.GB award * denotes team is eligible for RS.net award A5 Cup Standings (after Round 10): 47 - Team Moose Power* 45 - LH RallyeSport* 32 - RekitRallying*+ 31 - Sainz one* 29 - Rallyequip*+ 28 - Maximum Motorsport* 24 - Alpha Motorsport 24 - Crocs 18 - Marauders 17 - Prodrive Subaru WRT* 16 - Raptor Racing 14 - rallyrudd* 12 - Webrally 7 - Stobart M-Sport RT 7 - Now Motorsport* 6 - AM RT 4 - Barcud Motor Club RT* 4 - Markralyyig+ 3 - TR_Team_8070 2 - GH Racing 2 - TR_Team_7850 1 - TR_Team_6991 1 - One Rally Team 1 - McKinstry Motorsport Leaders: Overall: Team Moose Power Non-I.1.GB: RekitRallying RS.net: LH RallyeSport

Well done Luke and Rekit! To show that Luke is still an RS.net regular, I'll give him a week to respond here. Great to see RS.net teams at the top. Really well done and thanks for supporting the championship.

Would be nice if we could get a few more lower league entries for next season, as this season's 2 main teams are probably both going up. Maybe there should be a minimum number of entries to qualify for the prize.

Well... what a rally... the top 3 guys retiring, allowing some new blood to take the win (Australia 2005 anyone? ) Congrats on the win Sainzone. My WRC car isnt looking too good though Engine Maxi (55.4%) Suspension Maxi (50.4%) Brakes Maxi (41.8%) Steering Maxi (69.1%) Gearbox Maxi (64.5%) Drive ( 4 wheel drive ) Maxi (57%) $828,000 repair bill.. must of been a fairly heavy roll.. :/

This weekends league rally in I.1.B saw Kevkovitch rallyteam retire before he even started, his team was too tired. I took 5th place in the rally, and this makes me bump up a place in the overall I.1.B standings, ending the season in 3d. This season was really great compared to the one before. I just bought a new competitor for my team. Worth > 2 million!

Well... what a rally... the top 3 guys retiring, allowing some new blood to take the win (Australia 2005 anyone? ) Congrats on the win Sainzone... :/ Thanks Jason. ...and Congrats on your P2 in the League ... and the RS.net Champions Trophy ;D The A7's are pretty competitive on tar and I've been happy with my teams performance this season (despite 3 DNF's). An A7 won the last round (tarmac of course) in S12 too... As for the repair bills - this was by far and away the most expensive rally for the season - less than half the field finished, a TR team scored a point and many teams have repair bills over 400,000 Roll on S16 (and the dreaded car tax)

The repair bill on my 2 A5s came to £63k, so I can only imagine what it came to on an A8

The A7's are pretty competitive on tar and I've been happy with my teams performance this season (despite 3 DNF's). Well, how competitive is 5mins off the 3rd fastest car after leg 1? Competitive like Matthew Wilson is competitive. Congrats on the win though. Hopefully you'll get a chance to do it for real soon. You continue to improve and get closer to the 3 big guns. Mitch is well on the way too. It's a strange time for TR... an interesting transition where anything (including everyone leaving) could happen. I know that if this car tax does come in... I'm staying until the money runs out, then it's bye bye TR.

I dont think car tax will be such a big problem. If you run one car its a mere 5k per week and considering how many teams in I.1 have managed to get more than 3 or 4 cars during the season they can obviously afford to pay 5k if they cut down to one car.
Im not bothered by it, considering one repair to an A8 costs near enough 35kTR, 5kTR is nothing
