Yea bIrd, I used to run triple monitors..was great but I'm off grid now in a small bacholar pad and don't have the power or room to have that setup anymore, didn't realise the delay on TV was that much but makes sense...re look left right when I do it makes me feel disorientated dunno why lol.

Don't worry joe u will be fine dude it's a great buzz racing a good league...just take your time and expect it to take at least a year to get competitive don't get disheartened where u finish as long as u have a good battle..with time the speed will come...altho some guys are just aliens..lol

Yea I highly recommend the heli app.

Yeah, don't stress too much. The main name of the game is fun.
The second name of the game is 'don't wreck anyone else's race' ;)
These next couple of weeks are just fun runs. They will be good practice to see how it goes.

20 - 100. But ping seems to be less important than connection quality in AC. We'll see.

Was a bit late as my new wheel stand came and I couldn't wait to put it together. Much better than the small table I'd been using! Race was a lot of fun, I didn't crash at least. Still not broken into the 1:40s on this track yet though, am sure I'll get there eventually.

Here's the new stand. Excuse the mess, I have a 2 and 3 year old  ;D

Here's the spreadsheet that shows the points workings out.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wQfcX7Mj0ZPY8i2qdiwEGA7cFfnW2SakERcCnTcYyls/edit#gid=0

I'll walk through the results for race 1.
For each type of car, these are the average best times:

ferrari_f40   1:48.603
ferrari_458   1:46.940
ktm_xbow_r   1:48.480
bmw_m3_e30_gra   1:50.309

The bonus points are calculated by the percentage margin from the fastest lap time, 1:46.940 for the F458. This means that whoever drove the F458 in that race gets no bonus points, because they were in the fastest car.

The other ratios to the F458 time are:

F40 = 1:48.603/1:46.940 = 1.6% points multiplier
XBow = 1:48.480/1:46.940 = 1.4% points multiplier
BMW = 1:50.309/1:46.940 = 3.2% points multiplier

So you can see what this bonus equates to in the "Bonus" column. On average, 2 points for the F40, 1 point for the XBow and 3 points for the BMW.

So for race 1, the points end up being (excuse the formatting):

1   Guybrush Threepwood   ferrari_f40   102
2   Stan Daam   ferrari_458   99
3   WOBBLYONE   ktm_xbow_r   99
4   Steve Horvath   ferrari_f40   99
5   robin   ferrari_458   96
6   krahl   ferrari_458   95
7   Bacchulum   ktm_xbow_r   95
8   Robert Grubb   ktm_xbow_r   94
9   vipergod1   ktm_xbow_r   93
10   Wally Masterson   bmw_m3_e30_gra   94
11   BaFs17   bmw_m3_e30_gra   93
12   jxerri   bmw_m3_e30_gra   92
13   Matthew111   bmw_m3_e30_gra   91
14   Imperious   ferrari_f40   88
15   Gratulin   ktm_xbow_r   87

WOBBLYONE   ktm_xbow_r   98

Tonight was awesome guys...very enjoyable battles, had severe issues in quali and race one with everything slowing down stuttering made it hard, turned down graphics and was better in other races and got a bit nearer the times I was doing practicing...all in all very happy with the results after so many years off sims..other than a few mistakes relatively happy with my driving all things considered...thanks to wally and the club for putting the night on, hopefully I'll be on TS for the next one...thank you guys :)

Nice wheel stand joe, very cool. 

Btw mr guy wood brushwood...jeez can he drive, that bmw legend...well until he fell over the ragged edge lol

Looks like the Google doc still needs to be shared. It's telling me I need permission.

It still just works off the average fastest lap time. It's the best way to rank the relative performance of the cars, in the hands of this bunch of drivers.

The BMW gets the most bonus points, until Guy drives it then it gets none. :o
You really don't want to be in Guy's car, do you. :(

2+2=√16
