Time trials part 2 of 2. 16 qualified teams revealed and the four groups (watch until the end).
Thanks all for taking part! If you didn't make it here are your options:
a) Your car will take part in a standalone obstacle/stunt race event on my track (just a handful of cars as a pilot - not posting on Redline). You can then decide if you want it returned after. (I will let you know return shipping costs to pay via Paypal)
b) Have your vehicle returned now (I will let you know return shipping costs to pay via Paypal)
c) Do not take part, and you don't want your vehicle back
Worth keeping in mind that I will be posting a more formal obstacle tournament on Redline soon, so if you want to take part in that, and want your car back, may be worth having them all sent back together.
I know it costs a fortune to post international so just trying to get some more action out of your cars for those that want to!
Let me know what you want to do. If I don't hear from you in the next week and you opted to have your car returned on your Redline slip, I will message you with pricing for return.
Option 'a' sounds good. Not bothered about getting the car back but would be nice to see it raced in one form or another. :-)
Group 1 and 2 have been filmed and will air Friday 17th April! This video will also feature the obstacle race pilot with some of the cars that didn't quality for the Spring Rally tournament.

Groups 3 and 4 will race this Friday 24th April.
We then move onto the semi-finals (8 cars) and final (4 cars). In the final - we will have 8 laps in total.
Hey Guys,
Semi Final is up.
I had pre filmed a couple of videos before realising the extent of problem with that bad turn. It's completely snapped and they don't make that track type any more.
I've glued some plates beneath to join it together. Looks pretty solid now. See update on my channel posts.
It hasn't changed who moved forward anywhere but still not ideal. Apologies.
OK folks, let's get this tournament started! If I haven't messaged you and marked your car as received on the main redline post, I have not received it. I am aware of one in transit.
Great turnout this time round, and as always, brilliant effort with the cars. Thanks for taking part. I know it costs a small fortune to build and ship to the UK.
Just finished entering the redline slips. Anyone that didn't tick saying they don't want their cars returned, I will contact you after the tournament with postage costs which can be paid via PayPal. Unfortunately as litterally everyone is international to me, it would cost me about $1000 to cover it all myself.
Had a couple of notes about cars from last year. Last year was a strict no return policy with the top cars being offered to the winner (who didn't want them). The fee last year was the entrance fee, towards prizes and running costs. I didn't charge a fee this year as my channel is now covering its own costs, and I'm not doing this to make money - cleaning toilets would pay more! Anyone that wants their car returned this year, I can return last years with it. Won't make a difference to postage cost.
TIME TRIALS
Time trials will be run across two videos. The 16 cars with the fastest lap time will move forward, but only the fastes car for each team (if 2 were entered) can proceed.
FIRST VIDEO
The first time trials video will be filmed in the next week, and be up within a week from there. Maybe sooner, but I'll post the links here. I'd also recommend turning my channel notifications on. Videos will be weekly once the tournament starts.
Good luck, and see you all in the mountains!
