Thanks for picking the nastiest tracks vrc offers Rob...grrrrrrrr :whack:

I agree with best of three being a bad idea. That format just makes the rich get richer.

Sao Paulo is tough. I can't believe how rusty I am. I didn't realize we were doing last run counts... not a very successful comeback. boo!

POINTS AWARDED
1st: 10 points
2nd: 8 points
3rd: 7 points

5th: 5 points
6th: 4 points
7th: 3 points
8th: 2 points

Bonus for fastest lap recorded: 1/2 point

-----------------------------------------------------------------​

A DNF would equal the last place position for that particular race. So if there are only 3 racers, a DNF would be awarded 3rd.

Note that in order for a DNF to show up, you must complete at least one run. So if a racer logs 3 DNF's, no run will be shown and no points will be awarded.

In the event of a tie, the racer with the most higher placed finishes shall prevail.

I created a thread regarding the Winter Series for the sole purpose of giving a heads-up regarding the 3 tracks that will be added.

[Racer 1966]

10 weeks? Wow,there won't be much of a of lay-over before starting up again. That's ok with me :yes:

I'm in however you want to run it Rob. I can't think of any changes that are needed.

 

[robmob]

I'm not going to change what's working so far.

I figure we will take a week off when the Championship is over and then jump right into the Winter series.

 

[Racer 1966]

How many races for the winter?

 

[SMaxxin]

Maybe we can go to 3 or 4 AI cars for the winter series.

 

[robmob]

16

Maybe we can go to 3 or 4 AI cars for the winter series.

Whatever you guys want to do is fine by me.

 

[darkslayor24]

lol, yea I'm up for less AI cars

 

[SMaxxin]

Just put my first run in....If I'm dead last at the end of the week I might try again but anything better than last and thats a wrap for this track!

 

[robmob]

Practice for a few days and run again Pete.

Work on being consistent in the sub 20's. A good portion of your laps are down there already. If all of your laps can get down there you will have a 4-5 lap improvement.

 

[SMaxxin]

I couldn't help myself, I had to try again...A little better

Work on being consistent in the sub 20's.

My goal is more like keeping all of the laps under 30! I have been practicing this track for 6 days and still have not logged one lap that was sub 20.

 

[robmob]

By sub 20's I mean 20-24. You had quite a few laps in your first run that were in that range.

Your best lap was 20.832.

You were a lot more consistent in your second run and it netted you 2 additional laps.

Take a few days and practice this track 4 times for 18 minutes each with AI's. You will be surprised how much you will improve when you take an actual run.

This holds true for all of you guys.

Only practice the track with no AI's to get a feel for the track. As soon as you are comfortable and have memorized the track, throw the AI's on there and practice, practice, practice.

 

[Lessen]

Not a fan of LESS AI cars. I mean.. do we want to race or qualify???

 

[slowngreen]

I'm all for having the same amount if not more AI's, that makes it a level playing field since they eff us all. Get rid of them and there wont be anything to slow Randall or Rob down!

 

[SMaxxin]

Not a fan of LESS AI cars. I mean.. do we want to race or qualify???

If they actually raced it wouldn't bother me but when they slow down just to hack me I rather not have them....I rather qualify!

Get rid of them and there wont be anything to slow Randall or Rob down!

I think the outcome would be the same LOL

 

[slowngreen]

Laid down my first run, Ima spend more time practicing on this track though before laying down more runs, I feel I can improve by a bunch, we'll see.

 

[Racer 1966]

WOW! 19.2 is a fast lap bro! That's faster than anyone ran last season. Get some consistency and you're set.

 

[darkslayor24]

well, i need another run later in the week lol.
