After a lot of work the oOple Worlds 2011 report is now finally online and will be updated asap during the Worlds as and when we've got something new added so keep checking back!

Day 1 of the event just saw registration and the opening ceremony with some tyre gluing and battery measuring thrown in for good measure. Day 2 sees the first cars on the track and we'll hopefully get to see some more interesting cars that have so far been hidden away.

If you've any requests to see things or want to know anything then let us know and we'll try to find out.

Check out the report online now: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/worlds2011/

Can't wait to see what's running and how our lads fair, track looks a mixed bag from photos, there's a funny narrow switch back just in front of rostrum?...Jimmy, keep your eyes peeled for anything 2wd from Durango? :)
Aviiiit!

[joho]

Go Jimmy go! Your report are the best in the industry, keep up the good work!:thumbsup:

[Naushad]

Jimmy, your reporting is fun to read!!!

Any word on Yokomo's 2wd??

Good luck to the UK lads!

Naushad:thumbsup:

[poopers]

Brilliant stuff, not gonna get much work done this week, will be mashing the refresh button on oOple all the time. Last pic on the day 1 page is absolutely legendary. :thumbsup:

Masami is a hero, I think he wanted pink hair too :thumbsup:

Masami is a hero, I think he wanted pink hair too :thumbsup:

He will be if you can get him to dye his hair pink and get it done for a charity to boot.

[mikeyscott]

Did it rain or something in the last round of practice?

[footey]

is practice live on live rc as its red when i go on it

[MatJohnson]

yes it is, complete with gay music

[Mrs oOple]

It was SPITTING towards the end of practice round4, so no faster times seen. Seems to be dry at the moment.

Watch out for day two of the oOple report going live any minute :thumbsup:
(More to be added later today of course)

[DaSloth]

is there a heat listing anywhere?

[Jamie.T]

[AfroP]

Why is Darren Bloomfield not there?

Tebo is a machine man!...Cragg was flying with that Centro at first but twitched out and lost his 3rd position at half way point! Great watching it live on www.liverc.com (http://www.liverc.com) :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Nick]

Craggs running a b4.1

[styleone]

Craggs running a b4.1

I guess that does make sense with style of track (dirt/motor out the rear etc) I also pressume his full commitment with AE would dictate that they would need him to run a full production car?

Liverc video feed doesnt allow a close enough inspection of the cars but its brilliant anyway! :thumbsup:

Not a full production car, it's got a cut down truck chassis. :thumbsup:

Hat's off Jimmy, superb!. Got me hooked on the daily news now!

This is the 2wd Kyosho secret. Should be Cody's, alltrough I'm not shure, that all on the team are driving it.

[tellor]

shame Darren's not there due to BRCA red tape, bit of common sense needed surely.

makes it even stranger when you see who is there from the uk, not sure everyone who is there actually qualified, could be wrong...

[TheReferee]

are you referring to the uk team or other national teams?,

[Mrs oOple]

If you're thinking Jimmy oOple, he isn't racing because he didn't qualify either - he raced no nationals last year.
I have raced at one national this year, but none last year so sadly I didn't qualify either :cry:

Perhaps if Darren and I both get organised and race a national each next year, we'll be all set for a place at the next WC event - I'll give him a run for his money, world championship warm up winner? pfff....

[tellor]

Apologies, it does look like all have quailified

12.3 The World Championship team will be selected in the order of the previous year‟s National Championship results for each class individually.

fair enough, if you enter and all those above you don't want to go so be it, plus the BRCA member rule!

I know that rules are good and fair for everyone but if i had a place and knew the likes of Darren wasn't going i'd give my place up so the UK had a better chance of doing well

[DaveG28]

Tellor, I think this has come up, the problem is that:

A) You don't get to choose who you give your place to
B) I am not sure he could ever get an entry, even if there were spaces, as he didn't meet the uk entry requirement.

I agree it's a shame though, as you want the best fighting it out!

[Mrs oOple]

The oOple report for day two has been updated and should shortly be online with gallery included :thumbsup:.

The final practice round ran first thing this morning and qualifying is now underway - top heats are running now.

Report will be updated when we can although please be patient as we try to maintain the usual oOple quality.

And please remember if you didn't support us to get here, don't rip our photos.

[MikePimlott]

Im feeling the love for Martin Achter :woot:

[Mrs oOple]

Martin Achter is one of our number one fans. He is holding his true skill back for the first couple of qualifying rounds and saving himself for later in qualifying.

[Naushad]

I wonder if the UK team are being conservative aswell....don't see their times up there in the higher ranks. But hey, who am I to speak!!

I just hope they are serving the best till last!!:drool:

Best of luck!!

Vicky it keeps linking back to day ones report me chuck!:bored:

[Naushad]

Oh yeah:blush:

I just saw the recent 1st round qualifying results aswell...

Keep it up!!

[mikeyscott]

Vicky it keeps linking back to day ones report me chuck!:bored:

I've got that too, quick clear of the proxy cache and that fixed it for me. If you're at work and use a proxy server get the IT guys to fix the proxy server :thumbsup: ;

[steelie600]

and if your at home????

[Cardnim]

click anywhere on the grey bits to the left and right of the oople page.
Now hold down CTRL and press the "F5" button - this forces a refresh from server, not the cache.

HTH :)

[MatJohnson]

If your on IE9 then press F12 and open the developer tools, goto cache > Always Refresh from server, that fixed it for me.

Vicky, where is the loop on the track?

Didn't work for me at work until I cleared the proxy cache, but certainly should work for those not stuck behind proxy servers

[steelie600]

cheers dudes it works now!! woop woop

[Mrs oOple]

Vicky, where is the loop on the track?


Loop is positioned just before the quad jump, as the cars come down of the tabletop corner.

[Lonestar]

@oOple crew - awesome job guys, keep it up :)

Paul

[MikePimlott]

Gone quiet for day 4's reportings!!!

Have team oople not quite recovered yet :woot:

[chris68nufc]

Excellent report as usual!! Would be great to find out where all uk team finished up! Gutted for Neil, would have been a worthy champ!

[wes j.]

Just watched the 3 2wd finals awesome racing. The roar that went up in leg one when Cragg re-passed Tebo nearly deafened me. ( had my ear phones on cos the mrs was watching telly :woot:). Quality reports from Jimmy and co. Roll on 4wd :thumbsup:.

[Jimbo]

Awesome reports guys!
I'd be stoked to see Tebo's/Martins/Neumann's/Evans 2wd under the hood too.

And can you perhaps write up a paragraph about why everyone is saying it is the best organised worlds ever? Everyone's saying it's awesome, but not why it's awesome!

The usual oOple discussion around tha actual racing usually covers that kind of stuff, but yeah, is it just the track, the facilities, food or are they providing massages for the stressed drivers between every round or what? hehe.

Keep it up!

[Cheesus]

Because Finnish beer tastes like piss and Vaasa ain't Lapland so no reindeers there it's got to be the Finnish girls! They're cute ja and they love fast cars like ours :wub So yeah I bet it's those massages :thumbsup:

[rich_cree]

Just watched the vids, awesome finals. How much do I want to race 2wd on clay again!!

[Beddo]

Love the oOple reports. Always done a bit tongue in cheek which makes them even better reading.

Keep it up for the 4wd chaps (and chapess's) :thumbsup:

[JCJC]

I am getting day one, day two, no day three and up to lunchtime on day four, I can see day four after lunch will be a lot of work and keep checking to see if its up. (day 5, today, Thursday is Registration, no racing)

How long to change an axle on the front of a B4 ? bit on this would be great.

[Mrs oOple]

Thanks for all the comments and feedback - keep it coming, we want this report to be the coolest ever, so any suggestions will be helpful.

Reporting for 2wd is still work in progress, tried to get it finished last night but there's so much to get done, and we want it to be awesome when it goes online, so sorry for the delay there but hopefully once it's uploaded it will be worth the wait :thumbsup:

Today is indeed registration, so hopefully a good chance for us to catch up with the 2wd reporting and get some scoops on what's going on in the pits.

[Twister]

Thank you oople team for brilliant reports :wub oople is world class. Keep up the good work and watch out for the finnish beer.. it's strong! :blush:

[jimmyfish]

Yeah fantastic!!!!

Cant believe The losi 4WD, wow what a car!

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Yeah fantastic!!!!

Cant believe The losi 4WD, wow what a car!

tease :woot:

[DerbyDan]

Thanks for the fantastic reports & equally brilliant photography :thumbsup: Really makes you feel like you are actually there!

[Beddo]

Love the day 4 report, especially the subtlety of some of the comments:

Some stuff happened over the double jump on the final lap which saw Neil Cragg drop down the order.

;)

[Mrs oOple]

oops, sorry about that - I was tired and couldn't see what had actually happened, so just thought that 'stuff' summed it up sufficiently. If I find out more I'll elaborate Ö

[Beddo]

Dont be sorry, I assumed you didnt want to cause a fuss over (what I understand to have been) a slightly ambitious take by Tebo :D

Thanks for your efforts, enjoying reading the reports and the pics too. It would be good to get an update of where the brits finished up in 2WD and maybe their 4WD quali positions in due course too if possible !?

Keep up the good work :)

[mof]

tease :woot:

they have the old triple-x

[MOGGIE XL]

I would still like to see some pics of the team XXX4s because they look to
have loads of mods done to them.

[one]

oOples, the report is utterly wicked. Personally I like it better than anything else out there covering the event.

Really like the twisted extras of scary faces and Aussies drinking pints. The oOple photos are sick, love the extra stuff beyond the stock images of cars racing and racers with cars.

More shots in bedrooms with strippers (make and female), pranks in the pits, and THE after party.

Your nailing it!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chequered Flag Racing]

they have the old triple-x

cheers, had a look
