RACE RESULTS

(rest coming in instalments )

Wally, none of my qually laps were a cut, and my second fastest lap was 1:53:516 yet I started 10th in R2? I checked the second fastest laps for a few people that started in front of me and they were slower?

I will check...

Same here.  My best times were 1/10th apart yet I started 7th and 17th...?

It was wrong because the names in-game (i.e. your Steam name), didn't match the name in the server's entry list. The correct race 2 start order should have been:

Racer: Phil.8, 2nd best qual lap: 1:52:497
Racer: Joe Stevens, 2nd best qual lap: 1:53:516
Racer: Mael, 2nd best qual lap: 1:53:591
Racer: nith, 2nd best qual lap: 1:53:700
Racer: RussG, 2nd best qual lap: 1:53:932
Racer: Glenn Frost, 2nd best qual lap: 1:54:020
Racer: XGN Wally, 2nd best qual lap: 1:54:180
Racer: AB156, 2nd best qual lap: 1:54:359

I'll have to make some changes/fixes as a result of AC 1.12

Looks like Mael started 2nd and his second fastest qually lap was slower than mine.

Wally probably judged my lap to be of better quality 

Race 1 was a disaster, I knew I took a slight change on passing Joe but it looked like there might have been a bit of space. As it turned out there wasn't. Pitted early to fix damaged but then threw away any hope of a decent point haul by spinning at T1. Noticed Wally did the same a few laps later so at least I were in good company.

Race 2 was a bit better, a solid start left me behind Phil and Nith, drove as hard as I could but they were at least .5 of a second faster. At about lap 10 Phil lapped a driver with Nith lining up to do the same. I got so engrossed in the action in front of me that I missed my brake marker and ran off the track. A lonely and error filled run to the end to finish a satisfied 3rd .

Thanks Freezer, the best team season finish yet! Next time we will get Grat & Wally.

Yes well done Mael. . . . if only I hadn't missed the first two rounds!!!

Up and down night for me.  Race one I almost did an Eddie the Eagle with the big crash but just got a snag and spun.  However given so many others spun I came out well and pushed on.  A mistake in putting on Soft tyres at the half way point I though would cost me but they hung on luckily.
Race 2 saw me weirdly starting in 17th and basically pushing so hard to make it up I had a few spins and cost myself to many spots. Not a great way to spend my 200th race 

Good season in the Praga though, enjoyed it and look forward to the next one

Oh well, I still kept 3rd in the season standing after what felt like a bad night. All I take from these corrected results is that even though mael is 'officially' standing on the 3rd position step with me, that's all based on a lie 

[Wally]

Sorry to say Joe, the results are still correct 

[Wally]

Here's a few post-season statistics:

Most wins: Grat, 4
Most podiums: Phil, 8
Most poles: Grat, Kcender87, Phil, 4
Most fastest laps: Phil, 7
Most consistent: Mael, 3
Hunter: Wally, 3
Hunted: RussG, 2
Busiest: Wally, 3
Loneliest: Bacchulum, Shameless, Grat, Vipergod: 2

I'm pleased to get the busiest stat - that means I was often in the thick of the action.

[Wally]

My races:

Race 1, I qualified well in 3rd (hooray for ballast giving other people a go near the front ), but got caught up in the 4 into 1 arithmetic that didn't produce a good result. My car was badly damaged. I limped around the circuit to pit for repairs, and came out in 15th. From there I just had to put my head down and try to put in consistent laps. I clawed my way back to 13th, and after I pitted, I stayed around that position, despite trying to make some inroads into the gap to Russ.

Race 2 was much better, even though Grat decided to ignore team orders and wouldn't let me pass him
I decided to pit at the end of lap 7 to try to get away from the train in front of me, but most of them pitted too, so we we were still stuck together.
I had decided to run on Hards because I could do virtually the same time as on Mediums, but they wore much better. I still managed a 1:53:788 on Hards with 15 kg of ballast. I knew I'd be able to put in much more consistent lap times towards the end of each stint. The strategy paid off when I was chasing Simone, matching his pace, until he ran a little wide and ended up sliding off the track when he was on worn Softs and I could pass him. I chased Kcender home to finish 0.6 secs behind in 6th.

Thanks for another awesome season Wally, Tuesday night is still the highlight of my week!

I seemed to do well in these cars; over the time I've been sim racing I've had times where I feel I've made a noticeable improvement and that happened during the season. It was actually around the same time I got my new wheel but I think that's coincidence.

The other times were when I moved to triples and when I got load cell pedals so equipment definitely does come into it to a degree. That said skill is clearly the largest factor with Guybrush smoking us all on his single screen and G27... Some of the new peeps are yet to witness The GB!

[Phil.8]

Thanks for the season wally

[Wally]

That's good to hear. Not that your life sucks, but that you're getting a lot of enjoyment out if it!

[Bacchulum]

Even though I hated the cars (especially the squeeking) and they were left-hand drive sportscars in an open-wheel series, and my computer was up the shit for 3 weeks, it's still the highlight of my week.

Thanks again for all your hard work Wally, it really is appreciated. Once again you laboured hard so that the rest of us can have a good time on Tuesday nights.
