6/10, not bad odds so far....
Get in Pidge!

[IceMike]

Has the streaming froozen now?? its seems to be stuck on heat 6 :( i wanna see heat 9 they should be on by now :(

also wot is it with taking the best 2 laps?? is that how u qualify?? or does it go to ftd or round by round???

[ex-sco77morgan]

where is the streaming ??

[IceMike]

http://www.myrcm.ch/myrcm/main?pLa=en&pSr=1&hId[1]=evt&dId[E]=2256

[jondell]

Only practice, so counts for nothing... I guess they are taking best 2 consecutive laps for interest only. If you look at the 5 minute run times... Pinisch was quickest 11 308.4, with Lee 2nd with 11 308.5.

Another round of practice to go today with 5 rounds of qualifying to come, 3 to count I think.

[IceMike]

okies, but is anyone else havin trouble with the streamin?? or do i have to go tell my IT techy to, sort if out!!

[c0sie]

Maybe it froze cos Belsten was 3rd....in that session...its the highest hes likely to be so we might as well admire it for afew minutes :)

[James]

Best of luck guys, wish I could have made it, you better do well with my place Skelds :lol: . Lets see you guys dominate the top 30 places, show how good the Brits are :thumbsup:

[IceMike]

damn you belsten i wanted to see heat 9 but thats gone now

[Gemma]

There has been a Power cut so there not racing for about an hour, thats why its not updated!

Go Pidge!! x

[MatJohnson]

Nice, was enjoying that.

[Gemma]

Yeah me too! Supposedly some workers have cut threw a power line or something!
Im sure it wont be long until its back up and running!

[MatJohnson]

Jolly good, shame there int a video stream of it as well :) but then I would never get this web service written :)

[Gemma]

Yeah that would be ace! Oh well just have to use the Reports from Jimmy, and the Timing stream! :)

[Fabs]

Any more news? Still no update but has racing resumed yet?

[Nick Goodall]

Isn't the whole idea of counting two consecutive laps to sort out the Start order for each heat?? Saves anyone getting a random one off good lap.

[IceMike]

wouldnt it just be as easy workin off the overalls then for each heat fastest times and all that

[Welshy40]

damn you belsten i wanted to see heat 9 but thats gone now

Hehehe well lets hope he can pull a rabbit out of the hat and see if he can do the top twenty. He's more than capable of doing it, just hope he doesnt drive like a monkey for the rest of the event.

[Fabs]

I'm no expert but I think the best two laps are used in order to take into account that a driver may break his car in practice even though he's fast, or simply pull off before the end of the run.

It's not unusual for heats to be re-seeded after controlled practice.

[IceMike]

Yer it would be good to see team GB high up. want to watch the results agian. get it sorted someone. bored now!!

[MatJohnson]

Its mid afternoon, there prolly all having a siesta now. Lazy sods

[SHY]

Looking good Elvo!!! :thumbsup:

[Nick Goodall]

wouldnt it just be as easy workin off the overalls then for each heat fastest times and all that

Not if they break the car after 5 laps - Practise is good for that hehe :lol:

[mw02veg]

yeah nicks right its for the seeding within your allocated heat! that didnt work at italy well nothing really ran smoothly there :lol: p.s nick have a looky at my facebook mobil uploads got a good one for ya :thumbsup:

You are quickly becoming king of the random uploads / spotted in London pics!

They're always pretty entertaining though, you'll be going out with a proper camera around your neck soon :lol:

[jimmy]

All interesting results so far are in the oople race report - day 2 online.

[MatJohnson]

Been waiting for the report all day since the timing died :)

[jimmy]

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2009/day2 (http://www.oople.com/forums/../rc/photos/euros2009/day2)
direct link there if anyone has trouble - still working on it of course, almost the end of round two qualifying (rd 3 postponed till tomorrow because of power cut)

[Welshy40]

Class!! Im going to have to wind Ellis up re manolis. Yes a great machinist but one hell of a scatterbrain. I bet he came with three huge suitcases with unbuilt cars.

[Richard Lowe]

Go TC!

[GRIFF55]

Agreed, go team two fingers!!! You may get three for effort shortly:lol:

[jimmy]

Just uploading the report at the mo - always some bits to finish off of course but gettin there.

[Fabs]

Keep up the good work Jimmy

Just noticed that you've put the round 2 results twice, once in the correct space and the other in the overalls after 2 rounds. Should be Hupo, Tom, Ellis etc... as it stands you have Hupo, Neil, Lee

[janus_77]

No more updates on myrcm on Q3 ?

Jimmy, reports are ace as allways :thumbsup:

[Axel.k]

Strange,qualification3 starts with group 8?....btw morning Janus....:lol:

[jimmy]

Qualification is staggered - round two started on heat 5 I think and then ended on heat 4 after looping round.

[Northy]

Jimmy, what car is Manolis driving? Is it a mad home brew thing? Can we have details? He's a hero :wub

G

[Fabs]

Ellis is looking good for TQ with two round wins :thumbsup:.

So far 6 brits in the top 10 (and no frenchie lol), but craggy's bound to recover from his bad luck in round one.

[Christer Rasmussen]

That shocks are Hupo and Neil Cragg running? Is it Yokomo or Tamiya.

[stegger]

Why was the 3rd qualifiers started from heat 8, is this down too the power cut ?
Great to see the x-factory team up there :thumbsup:

[stegger]

That shocks are Hupo and Neil Cragg running? Is it Yokomo or Tamiya.

Hupo shocks = tamiya
Cragg shocks = Associated

[Christer Rasmussen]

Stegger:

Then Cragg is running a new kind take a look on the pictures from Day 1 they look the same Hupo/Cragg with a bronze or golden look compared to standard Asso. And of cause another top with bleeding screw.

[Answer-RC-Pete]

More Manolis Madness please Jimmy- has he walked there? is he infact racing a animal rather than a RC car? Is he pitting on his life belongings rather than a chair?

Anyhow - Go Manolis you crazy diamond!

[c0sie]

Who is this Manolis that you all speak of??
...
..
.

[Answer-RC-Pete]

Manolis is a legend -
He is an internationaly respected designer of radical chassis designs.. (ish!)
He has a habit of turning up at a meeting without vital components such as a finished car. If I recall at Neo 09 he managed to complete 1 lap all weekend after somehow arriving in the wrong Shropshire or something like...
and by all accounts thats pretty typical for the mad greek man who has snakes for hair..
He is cool though!

[Axel.k]

This time he had no charger......:thumbsup:

[c0sie]

Any pics? Sounds like a legend in the making!

[Fabs]

Some say he spends all his money in his hair... And if he could make a car out of his offcuts - HE WOULD.

All we know is, he's called MANOLIS :thumbsup:

[ex-sco77morgan]

Seen this bloke in one of the UK mags, building his car from scratch in pits before taking it out on track.

[MikePimlott]

http://www.myrcm.ch/myrcm/main?pLa=en&pSr=1&hId[1]=evt&dId[E]=2256

is this ever on ?

[IceMike]

yer it was workin for a few hours this mornin but its gone down again now, access is prity poor over there apparently

[Alfonzo]

I pitted next to Manolis at the Petit last year. He had no cells. He IS a legend.

[Northy]

Trust me, they are HB shocks.
No comment on the other thing you said ;)

[millzy]

is it not turmans car with craggs shell as they both run nosram ?

no wait forget i said that bradders has them on as well

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2009/day1photos/OOP_6952.html

if you look in the pic with neils car on the table at the interview it looks as if the shocks are silver

Overalls have gone tits up now what the heck is going on?

[Welshy40]

Hehe mate you really need to know him, legend is not what I would call him. Yes he is a damn good machinist as well as his girlfriend who is just as good and is a very likeable chap. Still even though he is caos there is genius with his designs and he can do a Mgyver as well and he can make things from having nothing as well like driveshafts.

I still have a regret in not having the Losi mid motor design he made as that was a masterpiece. I wonder whats coming next

[c0sie]

HB shocks, as in D4?

[GRIFF55]

they do look like the worlds d4 shocks, but they seem to vary from pic to pic. Nowt wrong with the old ae shocks, but if they are making them better:thumbsup:

[Northy]

HB shocks, as in D4?

Yes ;)

[MattW]

I believe they have run HB shocks from time to time for a while now. Generally I think it's more on tracks with big jumps.

[c0sie]

New shocks sir? Why not design a new car to use them on aswell sir?..

[Northy]

I believe they have run HB shocks from time to time for a while now. Generally I think it's more on tracks with big jumps.

Yup :thumbsup:

[Fabs]

I believe HUPO is TQ with Ellis 2nd.

[Fabs]

:wtf: They're running this round in reverse order WTF?

[moleman]

Here's a photo of Manolis and his 2wd car:

[moleman]

:wtf: They're running this round in reverse order WTF?

They've started in different order all day,
to make track conditions more equal for all heats i guess.

[stegger]

Yes, northy you are indeed right :thumbsup: hayato matsuzaki had the hotbodies shocks on his b4 at the last worlds.

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/worldchampionships-2007/day4/OOP_8039.html

Yes I know they've been running them staggered, but reverse order ?

[jimmy]

That's not a photo of Manolis' car - THIS is a photo of his car :thumbsup:

But where did he get the purple front brace and servo mounts from....thats the question :confused:

[ex-sco77morgan]

Anyone done 12 laps yet ??

[stegger]

But where did he get the purple front brace and servo mounts from....thats the question :confused:
He's just had them anodized due to him being with hotbodies ;)

[stegger]

I was wondering this this morning but to get a good 5 seconds of the times at the start of play this morning is a big ask even for these drivers, they are getting close though :thumbsup:

[footey]

is there somwhere i can see the overalls so for please

[Northy]

Where do we find the overalls?

Manolis - god. Jimmy, do you have any body off shots or is it top secret? :woot:

G

[Fabs]

Overalls are found with good timing, the proper ones only seem to be up between two rounds of qualifying.

I reckon this is the order:

1 hupo
2 ellis
3 lee martin
4 tom cockerill
5 neil

after that it gets too difficult to find out.

[jimmy]

Ellis.:thumbsup:

[Fabs]

Well that was the only question mark, what is the tie breaker ?

[ex-sco77morgan]

Lee Martin 11 in 5.03 anyone faster ??

[moleman]

No, that was the fastest run

[ex-sco77morgan]

Pidge
HUPO
Cragg
Ellis
Rheinard
Kev Lee
Cockerill
Jorn
Yardy

[moleman]

Overall is as follows:
Ellis
Hupo
Lee
Neil
Tom

[Fabs]

Pidge
HUPO
Cragg
Ellis
Rheinard
Kev Lee
Cockerill
Jorn
Yardy

Buddy best take all those numbers down otherwise FBI may think its a terrorist code ....:D

[Darren Boyle]

I just spoke to Ellis briefly on the phone, he is TQ with the same score as Hupo (1st, 1st, 2nd) Although Hupo's 2nd place "time" in round 5 was his quickest the TQ fell to Ellis by virtue of the fact that his fastest "round TQ" ws quicker than Hupo's fastest round "TQ" (not his fastest "time" which was actually second in round thanks to Lee Martin ;))

The X-Factory X6 Squared has TQ'd the Euro's 2009.......... well done Ellis (and Tom who is a superb 5th)

At least he hadn't had a particularly good final - would have been far worse if he'd won the leg!

[Axel.k]

What happened to Ellis from the first leg... it's showing him as having no time and being 10th now! :confused:
TECHNICAL INSPECTION - WING WIDHT:cry:
ohhh,sorry...i'm to slow....

[Gonky]

At least he hadn't had a particularly good final - would have been far worse if he'd won the leg!

Yeah, had it all to do in the 2nd and 3rd leg anyway i guess...

Still not ideal though, and as you say, i doubt he changed it just for the final.

[GRIFF55]

is there a wing width ruling??(blooming heck) surely all the std manufacturers wings are within this width??

[Body Paint]

2 wins makes Hupo the champ, poor Ellis :thumbdown:

[Fabs]

He didn't have a particularly good last round in qualifier, maybe he broke it then and needed a new one...

[jimmy]

I think they just didn't check until the final - 5 times it was looked at before the final.

Apparently Phils car was " repaired by a marshal" so he lost a lap - made sod all differance anyhow to his position.....

Well done all the UK lads, well done to Hupo for the win and the Ellis and Lee for rounding out the podium.

Yeah good call Daz.

Shame one of the lads could not take it but fair play to Hupo and well done to Ellis and to Lee for taking leg 3 :thumbsup:

The track is mainly astro fella with a small part dirt, hupo's car was using staggered fronts in 2wd.

[JustARcFan]

What do you guys run in th uk on astro, rear and front?

Mini Spike front and rear (yellow -dry, green - wet), take a look at the reports of the Nationals Jimmy made.

Nope it didnt go, as he only managed to get it half built by 3am on Sunday morning. He did have a few issues with his radio gear and esc but I still couldnt figure out why he didnt run it.

Something major was it?? as he isnt in the first qualy either :S

[Mrs oOple]

Mike, Jonesy says he is missing you.
Wishbone problems, coming off the quad jump on 2nd round of practice, broke, and coming off the wall of death on his warm up lap for rd1 qualifying, broke again. I think he forgot to change the wishbone. Still, he put in a blinding warm up lap time up to that point.

[IceMike]

TY for Gh3ying up this thread with that :p just wasnt sure where he had gone.

Tell him to "get it sorted lad!! :P "

Hi dude....

Just logged in on Jimmys computer while Vicky has gone to the Round 2 press conference!!

I've just picked up a 27th or something in Round 2 which is amazing considering the day I'm having!

We changed the car for Timed Practise 1 and it was gash so I pulled it off (the car that is) after 2 mins.

Timed Practise 2 - Broke the car on 1st warm up lap on the quads, front wishbone so didn't start

Qual 1 - Broke the car coming down the wall of death on the 2nd practise lap, it bounced into a pipe and smashed!

So after 8 practise runs and 1 qualifier I told me dad to re-set the car up as per Tallywain National and it appears ok!



The track in itself is festive and is probably the toughest track I have ever raced on in my 19-20 years of racing! Also, it is so hot it is untrue!

I'm in a position now where I can push on and see what I can do but I'm going to struggle to beat my 'C' Final in 2wd!!


Role on Oswestry next Thursday!! :p :p :p

Jimmy we need pics of his latest creation!!!

Neil seems to be fighting out TQ with Jorn though, both very close in the 2 rounds of qualy so far!

which would have given him 5th place in the round..

But got a 10sec penalty for jumping the start..

your only racing against your own clock right??

Imagine the results the 511 could get in the UK with some top drivers aboard....

If it didn't sound like he had a totally standard car, I'd expect a 511MRE in the near future to cash in!!

That would be cool :-) TRF 511 Reinhard Edition :-) Now Tamiya has to give him also a golden TRF buggy, like the MSX before. But it shows really, how strong he is at the moment.

Hehehe well lets hope he can pull a rabbit out of the hat and see if he can do the top twenty. He's more than capable of doing it, just hope he doesnt drive like a monkey for the rest of the event.
http://www.oople.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif
I'm no expert but I think the best two laps are used in order to take into account that a driver may break his car in practice even though he's fast, or simply pull off before the end of the run.

It's not unusual for heats to be re-seeded after controlled practice.
