I was expecting to see the Carbo with you @JuniorChubb, but maybe it's just like me and my first shout Tropos 😅

It would be my first choice.. gotta mix it up a bit though.

Just what I thought! 👍👌

Thanks all for coming along to our Top Gear Sports 103 Rejects night. As ever we had a great selection of cars and some good fun racing them.

All the cars had to be in the Sports Class and lap slower than 1:03 according to Broughie's testing. After a quick meet up in free roam only to find that Stappen and Dave had painted their cars the wrong colour and that Trashbags was asleep we got the night rolling. All these players picked up 50 point penalties for being bellends and having the wrong colour on their cars for the testing phase of the event.

The Cars

Chubb - Sentinel Classic ($650,000)
Trash - Bestia ($610,00)
Cat - GB200 ($940,000)
Stapp - Schwartzer ($80,000)
Paulie - Spectre Custom ($851,000)
Dave - Jester Classic ($790,000)
Mulder - Comet Safari ($710,000)

Catman's s*xy GB200 won the first vote of the night for best looking car in stock primer with the Sentinel and Comet Safari coming second and third.

Each car was also given a penalty dependent on price. The cars price divided by 1,000 was taken away from their starting score. The Schwartzer was the cheapest and received an 80pt subtraction whilst the GB200 was the most expensive picking up a 940pt subtraction.

Performance Testing

Moving on to performance testing we tested the cars in drag racing, their top speed, track performance, off-road performance and handbrake parking agility.

The Schwartzer had a commanding lead after the testing thanks to its low price tag, it was 381 points ahead of its closet rival the Bestia before the racing had event begun! The Spectre custom may have been a favourite to do well in the up coming racing but it was currently 761 points off the lead.

The Racing

After the testing we raced the vehicles on different surfaces and style races to find the best of the bunch. We also swapped cars every race so that 'driver ability' wasn't a factor in finding the best on the night.

We all knew the Schwartzer was going to be hopeless here, but all it needed was a couple of mid-table finishes to stay in touching distance of top spot!

The Jester Classic dominated the racing (showing another astute choice from Dave), the Spectre and the GB also done well. The Schwartzer was left trailing behind on most races with its best finish being in the Catch up & Slipstream aided Indy 500.

Final Results

Spoiler

 

The Schwartzer done enough in the end to hold on... A great pick from Verstppen to even consider it but it's low price gave it enough of a lead to scrape through to an unexpected win.

The point penalty for turning up in the wrong colour car was irrelevant as it had no bearing on the results as it was the top 3 cars who were penalized.

 

The Stig Award

As ever there is an award for the best racer on the night.

Well done to Stappen for picking up the Stig Award.

Thanks for all coming along, next week....Mystery Car!

Unbelievable.  My car was grey!  You didn't specify what shade!  Everybody knows there's at least 50 shades of grey.  You guys all went with your 'grey' but it looked black,  Not Stappen black because that was actual black and don't even get me started on @Trashbagsmetallic pearl with an orange tint, those guys deserved their penalties but mine!? My car looked more grey than yours did.  You said that the 50 points penalty didn't have any bearing on the result but if you hadn't penalised me for having the "previously unspecified and only later on the date turned out to be" wrong type of grey then my car would have won.

Also, during the practice break test I narrowly beat @Pauliel by about a metre. When we did it properly he beat me by even less than that to finish third.  If I'd got those points..... Basically the Jester Classic missed out on the top spot by less than a metre. Yeah, you guys get the picture.  I'm bitter but mostly want @JuniorChubb to know that it's worth him going to so much effort with the results for each event because I do analyse them in detail each time so I can tell you all how I should have won.

Seriously though, great nights racing.  Well done to @Mark Verstappen on the Stig award!  He did pick the most boring car though.

Special mention -  @CatManDoza for the biggest laugh of the night when he disappeared mid race and I got a message:

"I accidentally turned my extension lead off with my toe"

Thanks to everyone involved, see you all on Wednesday!

I can't wait to paint my Mystery Car matt grey.

Technically I turned it off with an empty wine bottle that had strayed under my desk, but I cba to type that out! 

[JuniorChubb 3,360]

Oh @SkyeDave the ifs and buts....

You all only have yourselves to blame for letting the worst car win!

If @Trashbags hadn't missed the Top Gear Test track he would have won, if @Paulie would have picked the much cheaper Spectre over the Spectre Custom he would have won.

@CatManDoza won both pimpin' rounds but the GB200 is just to damned expensive to be competitive in this format. However if he didn't create his own power cut and won the last race then he would have won.

If Mulder stuck with the Fusilade it would probably have walked it, very cheap and quite quick so it would have outscored the Schwartzer. The trouble is somebody talked him out of it and he picked the highly handicapped Comet Safari instead.

I even tried fudging the results and the Schwartzer still came out on top.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves, the whole thing is designed to stop @Mark Verstappen winning and you let him do the double on you! 😂

Was a great night gutted I fell asleep great write up @JuniorChubb

The Rejects may be not in the 103 club but they are sure great fun! Except for the Schwartzer of course 😝

 

And I must say there's only mentioning of a Spectre in the results and posts. Sorry Mr. Bond but that's not how my car is called 😝
