To save some time for people who just want to drive and want to skip practice sessions:

Last season race stats:
http://www.kolumbus.fi/arilai79/4K_Wh_Bridgis_v2.txt

/startfuel
94 safe for Carlos

93 for most safe
92 for most risky
91 even risky for Badeend

my lolstrat:
I might chill with 93%, make no practice session and if i get up early enough and hear the alarm clock, i practice pitting

Not sure If I can make it to the race though, it's so late my time, more specifically at midnight (UTC/GMT +3 Helsinki) and I got early morning tomorrow.

Ok, test race is over. It all went pretty well. From now on you can download all replay videos from HERE.

Obviously there might be mistakes.
Can't promise stats for all races this year but I'll try my best.
edit: Oh, right. I tweaked sectors little bit so sector times are not comparable to last year.

Nice race guys! I feel comfortable with the car during the race, i made 4/5 mistakes that allowed Wurz to overtake me. He is better than me so maybe he would be in front of me anyway but who knows. I hope in next races there will be more competition for first places, otherwise Tinja can play alone and let the others fight for the cup. In this track is very difficult to overtake, let's see if in the next race there will be more overtakes. But me and Wurz and maybe Badoer in first 3/4 laps had a great battle together, i'll take a look about it because live was very exciting.

Thanks power for your stats we all love them and hope you can do this for every race, and we also hope you will be a part of the game next sunday!

It was a nice test, even tho I forgot how stressful it was to drive for a hour no-stop

I had some cool fights with Azevedo and partly Lemon throughout the whole race so my concentration had to stay high basically every lap or so. I also failed my 1st pit getting stuck in the end of the box but fortunately I "only" lost a couple of seconds. I'm impressed by the skill improvement of some drivers like Laf, Silva and Magny (hey bro starting the race with 35% you should've reached the 1st place

) and I hope Tinjo will have some competition for the next races so that he doesnt get close to lap me.

I'm happy about the fact that, excepting some madness in the first turns of 1st lap, damage report is kinda clean and I'm also surprised that I was 2nd on pixels travelled and in Top 5 of offroad time, guess it means I knew what the best direction line was.

I noticed that overall we ran kinda faster than last year,so I wondered if the car is the same or we just have new engines

Ps: Put Katakomba back on schedule, it is my fav track

Post by **Mike Nike** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 11:52 am

thx for the stats! here some numbers in words:

- a kid masters time travel
- someone uses lemons as additional fuel to save normal fuel
- nobody damaged the princess car, not even herself
- Magnam practiced only the first two sectors well enough
- Whiplashs sector 3 enter and exit speed is so well, but in the middle he went for sightseeing
- pitting practice paid out for Mike Nike - just around 8 laps behind instead of 8,01 laps
- while Alexander Wurz just jumped into his second car on pitstop 1, Gol had to change his tyres without a pit crew in his only pitstop
- while Whiplash went for the perfectly risky fuel strategy, Magnam played russian roulette with 6 bullets in the holes
- pazzomimi seemed to drive around 2 seconds in front of a lapping car every other lap
- 8 minutes long waving blue flags for max tre and pazzomimi ? oO

I noticed that too, last year this track was driven early in the season while everybody was still getting used to the car and everything. It seems the experience we gained during last year's championship still benefits us now, despite most of us not getting much practice in until very recently.

And yeah, I was hoping for more competition from Mike at least. The circumstances were in my favor, with Mike just having woken up and also suffering from technical issues. Speaking for myself though, I felt really (almost weirdly) quick and consistent out there, so even for Mike (or Badeend..) at his best, it would not have been easy to beat me.

Nice to get used to an hour of non-stop driving again, I had forgotten how long that was!

Guys, mods, I am witnessing problems downloading the new track. Could you please help me solve them? Everytime a new race begins I try to download it but download stops as I can't create the file trackname-pat.png

I think the bridge caused problems for my algorithms. I don't remember anymore what bit was indicating the level car was driving so it just considers cars driving under and over the bridge as driving at the same level. It should check what controlpoint car is driving at but probably doesn't require that they are at consecutive control points. So pazzomimi was way ahead at that point but my algorithm thought he was "blocking" and started the counter.

Anyway, those stats are meant just for an index in case someone wants to check certain cituation from records so I don't think its a serious problem.

That's strange, I have no idea what could cause that. Still, HERE is an alternative download link. Extract to anywhere within your tracks folder.

Guys, don't worry about the algorithm, there's nothing wrong about that. It is just that maxtre and pazzomimi are on similar level and after last one's disconnection for a couple of minutes, the wise m3 decided to wait for him so that they can still battle after all, even if they were on different laps

Yup, just like last season. And just like last season, I can't handle the pressure. Too bad Wurz went out, it would have been a great battle with the 3.

As for the porn guy, yes, it was my fault, but not really on purpuse. I was careless, he hit me 2 curves before that when I was already on the inside, so I was like "f*** it, he if doesn't slow down, me neither".

This was just a test race, but we should have point penalties for things like this.

Not sure if they're talking about this, but it was the most entertaining part of my race, together with the seeking&rescue of the remote control for the air-conditioning - which I forgot to turn on when I moved here at the end of Croatia-Denmark (but I realized that only when I was about to start sweating). I guess/hope I didn't annoy anybody with this additional lapping.

Well, that's what you get when you steal my grid position by 0.003s

Also, don't worry about the pressure thingie, you're not the only one who collapses out of the road when there's Sainz in some rage mode right behind your ass

Hahaha, I'm glad for that! You would have passed me on the first part of the race, but you decided to taste some grass instead

Ha, I like that! Good move, max!
I also thought a while about giving Tijny a little battle after reconnecting, so he does not have such a lonely race. Or place myself +-5 seconds behind and then see how it develops.

Yeah, it could've been fun to do some casual battling and maybe practice some overtaking on each other, although that probably would've confused me if you had suddenly appeared right next to me. It's something REIROM would do.

In the end I was happy just cruising around free of stress and trying to get the best total race time I could.
