Pictures do not need to be high quality,

just readable somehow. We always require written confirmation of the info in the pictures anyway.

Our first race ends tomorrow October 3rd at Midnight GMT!

Everyone who enters will receive one point for the series scoreboard, so do not hesitate to enter, that one point may be crucial later.

Our first race is over!

Here's the leaderboard for the October series ATM:

01. TCRluca
02. VGSpeedPro
03. aarog5606
04. Grnkjr0
05. Spiko
06. TimTaylor
08. Bandit
09. jsskppnn
10. RicardoElfrinko
11. raptor1201
12. vgjono

There's still time to join the October series, because our points system is way more forgiving than the one used by FIA:

Everyone who enters gets 1 point, then the Winner gets 3 extra points, the 2nd gets 2 extra points and the 3rd gets 1 extra point.

At the end of the series we will do another point table to determine the order of those racers who only collected the entry points (5 points all together or less).

Taking picture of your tv can be very tricky. The key to it is proper lighting. When taking pictures of the tv, do not use a flash or an expose light, use a lamp and turn off the main light in the room. If you can direct the light toward the ceiling. When you are taking the picture be very still because the lightest movement will cause the picture to come out blurry. You may want to take several picture at different angles and the best.
