| | IFCA News Letter #52 |  Wed Jul 23, 2008 3:57 pm by VVV GTDon | 
Welcome back to another addition of the IFCA Newsletter my peeps!
This past week ended the almost unreal dominance of IFCA SpecRacing series points leader #444 TRC Smokinu; whilst he took Pole Position for the 5th consecitive time, defending champion #7 Chilledheat took the checker for the first time this season at Maple Valley. Smokin, however consolidated his position by taking second, whilst #355 TRC Solo, with an outstanding qualifying time, took a surprising 3rd in the #1 room! The always threatening #52 R2P Jed continued to have bad luck with a poor start, several moments of contact, and eventual retirement from the race.
Current reigning IFCA Stock Car champion #31 TDR Invisico found himself shut out of the #1 room by #4 VVV GTDon, but managed to win in the #2 room at least. #117 ShadowBoxing and #45 R6 Nighthwak rounded out the top 3 in room two. Room #3 was won by the gentlemen racer #104 ISRC BLKNOTCH.
Still, the top 3 leaders of the series remain:
1. #444 TRC Smokinu 400pts
2. #7 Chilledheat 385pts
3. #52 R2P Jed 378pts
The top 3 teams are:
1. TRC Orange (#444 TRC Smokinu, #914 TRC Greekman, #117 ShadowBoxing) 39pts
2. VVV UK Racing (#7 Chilledheat, #241 infused Howskii, #61 VVV Flexy B) 36pts
3. Team Hellmet (#52 R2P Jed, #84 SP33D RAC3R 28x, #616 VVV Hellbr1ng3r). 33pts
Over in the IFCA JGTC, a new power has emerged and his name is "WildChild906" who qualified #1 at Road Atlanta with a :52.430 in his #906 Audi TT. Series points leader #32 R2P CoNCept in his Nissan 350Z qualified 2nd in front of WildChild's teammate #907 General FRANKZ in his Audi TT.
#32 R2P CoNCept has a commanding points lead in the series over second place General FRANKZ, and defending champion X3R Basco in third, who had a horrible outing this round.
In terms of the loosely bound team points for this series, "Time Racing Club" lead by #907 GENERAL FRANKZ is first, series points leader #32 R2P CoNCepT and his team "Endless Racing" is second, and the "Marauders" lead by #42 R2P Flying Scot is currently in third.
Preparations are starting to get serious over in the up coming FWC11 series which starts Sunday, August 3rd - 12:00 CST / 18:00 GMT (UK) / 01:00 West OZ.
Qualifying info:
Car - #31 Whelen Engineering Corvette ZO6
P.I - R4
Track - Laguna Seca
Laps - 3 laps (2 flying laps)
Major names have descended upon the now historic series known as the "FWC." Originally intended as a no holds barred series to determine not just the fastest driver in the Forza world, but also the best tuner, the FWC in its many iterations has brought us some of the finest racing action and intensity ever seen in simulation racing. Whole clubs have in the past fielded their best tuned cars with their best drivers in order to capture this most difficult of crowns. This season promises to be the most hotly contested in recent memory with such names as CGS pro racer #909 R1R CHAOS, two-time defending and current FWC champion #555 R2P CruzCntrol, and current IFCA JGTC points leader and former FWC8 champion #32 R2P CoNCepT to name a few.
As everyone who is familiar with the series knows, it always comes down to just 2 competitors in the end, and eventually these two prepare for the final feeling the pressure grow as they both hear the chant of the motto of the series, "There can be only one!" Forza World Champion. sign-up here
Big announcement in the IFCA Endurance series today. Due to several factors related to the more time consuming nature of putting together a team, and the longer racing itself, season 6 will be eliminated from the IFCA schedule entirely, and season 5 will be pushed back to Saturday August 30th - 16:00 CST / 22:00 GMT (UK) / 05:00 West OZ (sun). It is hoped that this additional time will allow more teams to form up, and get a chance to practice before the first race.
For those of you who haven't competed in this series, you owe it to yourself to enter. It is the only series that runs without an open mic, and with older cars. This really adds to the sensation of racing in a real race. You must almost "sneak" up on a driver to pass him, and you must plan your pass carefully to be clean. It forces you to be more track aware, and weary, whenever you are around other cars. The only person you will be able to talk to is your teammate in this series. With the added refinement of the handicap points system, a particular cars superior performance is not the only consideration this time around too. So get yourself a partner, decide on a car, and go back in the day with the IFCA Endurance series, to a time when torque was king, cars were loud, and way before political correctness stole all the fun. sign-up here
In real racing last week, MotoGP's Valentino Rossi added Laguna Seca to his list of conquered tracks on the MotoGP calendar in a breathtaking Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca, ending Ducati rider Casey Stoner´s run of wins and garnering an important addition to his points tally heading into the summer break.
In contrast to his comments after Saturday´s qualifying session, Rossi needed neither a gun nor a 30-second headstart to stop the man so dominant in practice. Instead he relied on a storming start and his best pace of the weekend to stifle Stoner´s breakaway attempt, presenting himself as the only object between the Australian and a fourth consecutive victory.
NASCAR this week: You gotta like the law of probabilities, especially when it comes to the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. In a nutshell, that means that, while Sam Hornish Jr. and J.J. Yeley have chances to win this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway -- and popular wins either of those would be -- it's much more likely that Kyle Busch, Tony Stewart or Jimmie Johnson will be in Victory Lane on Sunday afternoon.
The betting man's cash might be on Busch this year -- for not only the race that cut its teeth as the Brickyard 400, but also the Sprint Cup championship. Because in the last 10 years, the winner of Indy's late-summer spectacle has won the championship six times. That includes twice in the four-year Chase for the Cup era, and four consecutive pre-Chase years, from 1998 to 2001.
Them's mighty strong odds, considering in eight of those 10 years, the Brickyard winner ended up in the top five in the championship.
That's it for this week folks! See you at the races!
