Ande, it truly is an honor for me to read what you said.

I had a great time running the tournament, and from the looks of it, the participants enjoyed it as well. I'd love to run another tournament soon!!! Maybe a rally tournament... hmm...

p.s. oooh, fast forward, eh? 1.0.5 you mean?

By the way, if you still have log.txt from those races, you can cut'n'paste certain lines from it to Excel or some other spreadsheet program to make graphs like this:

That is a graph from an endurance race with an ancient TS version.

Yes, that kind of thing will most probably be in 1.0.5, whenever it comes. But I can't promise any dates any time soon so I hope 1.0.4 is enough for a while

Hehe, before i have read your post, i uploaded exactly that kind of diagram of the final

^^

*searching the link*...
Here it is:

By the way, Ande, nice race

Joni 1st, i guess it was Slider and surely nonghost, since ghost hasn't existed there.
leek was maybe kind away in the beginning and was driving parallel to the 1st his laptimes.
Garrett was relative slow and made the most crashs.
petu was average fast, but a bit slower than Joni. But Jonie made no mistakes - he drove constant average laps - but petu crashed a few times.
Ande was like Zoom and Nick_W kind fast, but all of the 3 crashed. Nick_W had the biggest chance to get 1st, after a very constant fast race after a bad start with crashs. But he could not pass Joni and even lost the 2nd place after a ~20 laps fight vs Ande after his crash in lap ~50, where he got close to Joni. In lap ~59 he crashed too after getting close to Joni too - probably he just got 2 blocks by Joni in Sausage and got a stuck in one of the 2 problematic circles, where Sliders are easy crashing, when they are blocked in the sliding process of the 180 degrees curve, tight to an object. And Zoom had such a block maybe too in lap ~63, where place 2 and 3 were very close and he was 4th.

Nice old Slider race

Nice

.

By the way, how did you do that first graph showing positions after each lap? Did you make a script of your own for that?

Thanks

I created a matrix of the totaltimes of each player of each lap (although that was not necessary) and with a special excel formula (the formula ca be translated as: RANK) i took the rank of each driver of each lap.
Although it would have been maybe easier, just to do a script, instead of making the work in excel, since Excel means each time manual work.

By the way, there was one difference in your graph compared to mine. I can see that the time is always relative to the leader. In my graph, the time is relative to the average lap time of the winner (log.txt has it already calculated). That way you can easier see when each player has made mistakes. Otherwise, leader's mistakes is seen as everyone else leaping forward.

Yes, you are very right, Ande

I have just not taken the log datas, since the last time i made a diagram in excel of it, the lines were too tight to themselves and nothing was really visible, but maybe i just had a too tight race there or my diagram axes width were too small.

...well, i just uploaded the log.txt diagram over the old final.htm and it looks nice. Tijny had a nice fast run, especially from lap 50-80

Cool graphs guys!! I like stats!!!

I must make an observation I made known... Tijny indeed deserves all the congratulations we've given him, but DAMN is Mike Nike a CONSISTENT driver!!!!

Unbelievable consistency, over the entire 100 laps!!

Just seems like a whole different world that the one I drive in... I can string together maybe 4 or 5 really good laps in a row, MAYBE 10 if I'm lucky... But Mike's consistency to run virtually the same, fast, time over and over and over is something for all of us to behold!!

Great run Mike!
