There have been a couple of recent events, namely the Autocross wins and Speed, which a team at our current size had no real hope of achieving high positions. So on Autocross, a holiday was declared although some members raced solo, and a couple did a duet, to get the minimum 40 gold rewards. On the Speed event we had our own internal competition to out do each other to gain pole position and at the other end to avoid the wooden spoon!

With the OMP Laps Challenge, we finally got an event where we could race as a single team but we were reduced to only 5 due to unavoidable absences of some members. We looked at options and selected a safe one of aiming just for the 40 gold and 560 laps. However as the event progressed and we had a better handle on estimated score for top 200 positions, the 5 members put in bids on what score they would each do within their time availability; bearing in mind that some were working. Each one delivered on their bids (and some more) and the depleted team achieved a score guaranteeing top 200 gold about 6 hours before the event end. No mad rush to the bitter end (and missing out) but able to put our feet up and just coast into the gold positions! In the end, having stopped racing well before the end, the team still ended in 162nd position.

For the next Overtakes event on Saturday, we will again be racing as a single team and aiming for Top 200. However we are still open to take new recruits who meet our criteria so that we can push even further into Top 100. And also grow the team so we can continue to operate efficiently in all events either as a single team or mini teams. You can see what we have achieved in recent events on these pages https://rr3.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:335384 and https://rr3.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:336684.

Visit our Facebook page (UK Circuit Breakers) to see our rules and aims and get in touch if your aims in Team Challenges are aligned with ours.

We also have a ‘B’ Team (UKCJ) for level 50+ racers (minimum age 18) who’d like to prove that they have the right stuff to race with the main team.
