That's all, Folks - this event is ended successfully.
It was A LOT of fun, I can't wait to organize the next series. Now, I'm officially poor a.f., so next time I have to gather some donations for the prizes, and I will need a couple of extra hosts to run 3 races a day to cover all time zones. So I need some time, but it won't take long.
If you enjoyed it, please spread the word, apply next time, bring your friends, families, factions, companies, your enemies if you like...!
This is exactly why I tried NOT to schedule a race on Friday... :( I have no time to write this up... but I will as soon as I can. Promise.

Note: There are ways to decide who wins in case of a tie... but this time I have decided to give the same prize both to Phool (19) and Lugburz (74). Goodies will be delivered soon...
Thank you for participating, and please have a bit patience... I have aanother life to live as well... :)
This event has suffered a significant delay, and I still do not not just how it happened. Calculated time (in minutes) from open to start was right, so maybe I have a typo made when entered the number. Whatever happened, it's my fault, and I'm really sorry all the troubles it caused.

The half tarmac - half mud Hammerhead is a track relatively easy to setup your car for. You just put your rally suspension and tires on your most balanced car, and there you go: a lap time under 1 minute is guaranteed.
Global record for Hammerhead is 00:54:92 by Hammer - maybe he was named after the track, or the track was named after him, people say the story both ways.
Lightor (86) was bringing his top form after the unusual long delay, and nailed Hammerhead in 00:58,474. With this win his top position has been secured for the rest of the series, so I'm happy to announce:
Lightor (86) is Group A Winner of 1st Time Attack Racing Series.
(You sent a Donator Pack to Lightor with the message: Group A Winner of 1st Time Attack Racing Series 2021 - Congratulation for Your Speed!)
Of course the series is not over yet. Now Lightor (86) may surprise his group by staying away from the last race, and letting others to grab even more points... but he has all the rights to keep participating, and to kick ass until the end. It's on you, buddy!
The fight for 2nd and 3rd places (or FHCs and eDVDs if you like) is still ongoing, there is one single point of difference between 4 racers in Group A. Excitement in Group A lasts for the end of the series, just how we like it!
In Group B, Madbranch (91) made the fastest lap, and also secured his lead with 4 points, meaning we have another thing to announce:
Madbranch (91) is Group B Winner of 1st Time Attack Racing Series.
You sent a Donator Pack to Madbranch with the message: Group B Winner of 1st Time Attack Racing Series 2021 - Congratulation for Your Performance!
And also Siredge (94) cannot be beaten anymore:
Siredge (94) has Won Group B 2nd Place of TARS #1 2021.
You sent a Feathery Hotel Coupon to Siredge with the message: Group B 2nd Place of 1st Time Attack Racing Series 2021 - Congratulation for Your Pace!
Now it's time for the last racing event of the series, this time I will open it with a proper delay (hopefully)!
Oops - sorry, guys, it was my bad. Somehow I made a BIG mistake in my calculation... or a little typo when seting the delay. Anyways, I don't want to cancel it. Let's wait out the results, then maybe I reopen it once again...
I have got a red Ferrari, tailored for the Sewage track. It jumps 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. It cannot be beaten here, my best lap was 00:59... partially because I have crashed into a sudbefore completing the lap. So?
Anyways, Sewage is a hyper-tricky track around the water treatment plant of the City. You get all types of bends and corners here, so the keys to have a fast lap are: breaking, breaking, acceleration, and a little more breaking. Global record here is 01:33,51 for Class A. Our brave team was performing around the Class B record (01:39,82) for all Class A cars... so let's just move on from this topic.
Madbranch (91) have won over his own group AND the entire Group A as well, with his fast lap of 01:39,135. Second best time was set by Lightor (86). Both of these fine racers have strengthen their lead even more Today.
In Group A, CJBWRC (53), Lugburz (74), and Phool (19) have the same 4 points in Group A (however Phool (19) is the only one who has this result with only two races run. I would bet my money on him to take the lead soon, but hey, I'm wrong all the time). Competition seems to be tight for the last two race events.
In Group B, our current winner-of-all Madbranch (91) is skyrocketing in points, chased closely by Siredge (94). In the meantime Wizardking5433 (15) has achieved a great fast lap Today, and Matzkops (85) was taking the high road, and has NOT lose the race by not even participating. He sends all his regards from China btw.
See you on the next track - race is to be open very soon!
Half of the series is done, current Tabelle looks like this: (f**k off AutoCorrect - "tabelle" IS a real word)

Mudpit made some changes in results, as always. That's why we all love the dirty stuff.
Global lap record here in the mud is 00:35.48 by the famous ToxicMonkeyMZC - and I can say we are close! Not all of us of course, but Mr. Lightor (86) has run an impressive 00:35,918 and that is really something.
The beauty of TARS is You can jump to the top until the very end. Lightor (86) was on the 4th place after Commerce, and now he's Nr.1 of Group A.
Lugburz (74) was not only dropped from his throne - now he's shoulder to shoulder with Phool (19), who finally has broke his habit of being Nr.3 all the times. (Was it the "Lugburz plugin" working again? Some conspiracy theorits say it was - but we officially do not believe them.)
Others in Group A have at least one race missed, but it's only halfway. so guys: keep comin'!
Prezze (61) is finally here, running "an awfully slow fast lap" as himself stated. Well, keep your chin up - many girls like it slow. ;)
In the meantime Madbranch (91) and Siredge (94) have strengthen their lead further over the rest of Group B. Is there anyone here to challenge them? Wizardking5433 (15) has finally arrived to the track, and said "he still thinks it's fun" - and we totally agree. Maybe next time he'll be a bit faster to make the competition even more fun. Go Mr. King!
And last but not least we have Matzkops (85) here, all time Nr.3 of Group B - will he just walk home easily with the 3 eDVD prize? Just like that? It takes only 3 points to make him sweat for it a bit - and there are several people in his group being capable enough to cause some trouble.
First Time Attack Race in Torn was a loud success. Parkland is my favorite track anyways, the extra amount of fun is always guaranteed on "The Noodle". It was a perfect start for the series. Wise drivers used rally tires and suspension, and good brakes made better use than horsepower.
Global record on this track is 02:29.33, (and my personal best is 02:40.62 if anybody was interested), and Today's Winners finished only 0.01 seconds away from each other. However it's not a big deal, since they are in different groups.
Lugburz (74) nailed an impressive Lap Time under 02:40, as well as Madbranch (91) in the other group, both earning the very first Time Attack wins, and 3 points.
Lightor (86), Siredge (94), Phool (19) and Matzkops (85) have also finished in point-earning places. Their lap times show why we got two different groups in this competition.
Yuno_Lift (80) is the unlucky one of Today - his 02:42,5+ lap time is nothing to be shamed of, but it was just not enough in hs group for a point. Maybe next time.
As you probably noticed, only the first three positions earn points (3, 2, and 1 respectively), so there is A LOT of chance to climb up the tabelle during next events, excitement is guaranteed until the very end of the series.
We got 3 absentees Today, all of them has great potential based on their qualification lap times, so beware, top racers: there is nothing carved in stone yet!
NEXT RACE EVENT IS ALREADY OPEN!
We go back to Commerce! It was not only Lightor's (86) territory last time - bear1lit (66) and Yuno_Lift (80) have kicked some very serious a$$ there as well. Group A will be hot as sauce tomorrow.
In Group B, Wizardking5433 (15) can be a hard competitor to current leaders (in case he can get up from his bed in time). Bro, next time your racing number will be 5433, just to make things easier!
See you tomorrow - take your time but don't miss the start!
Today's qualification run took place around the Docks - the longest of all Torn City raceways. Its 3.81 miles is put together mostly from straight lines and 90 degree turns. Acceleration and speed are both have great deal in lap times here.
Lugburz (74) has promoted to Group A, where Lightor (86) dominated the Docks, just like he did the Commercial District yesterday. Final Group A has 7 members to fight with each others during Time Attack races to come.
Group B is led by Wizardking5433 (15) with a Slip under 8 seconds. With Siredge (94) and Madbranch (91) they seem to be impossible to beat within the Group... but don't forget Mad_Ninja (51), who has a great run on Commerce - unfortunately he missed Today's qualification, so we'll never know...
Group C is no more, since 4 of the applicants never showed up to qualify.
Participants now have been qualified into 2 groups, based on their Best Lap overall slips. From now on, the real Time Attack Race begins!
Everybody runs on the same race, but compete with others only WITHIN their Group. Both groups have their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places rewarded with the same prizes.
