Ok, I guess I updated/published everything. The server is up already for next race's qualifications.
Thanks to all players who showed up for first race, it was a big success!

My comments now..

Qualify
I started with 62% fuel. My plan was to drive at least 6 laps and obtain 34.3xx, but after a good start (34.5 at third lap) I didn't manage to improve my laptime. It was a big luck that I still got the first row, I expected people going much faster than that, maybe some guys on very low fuel too.

Race
I started with 47% fuel, which seemed to be enough to drive 22/23 laps (I calculated 95% fuel for whole race). I expected to lose immediately my second position because I usually start bad (and also because Tijny had lower fuel). For once, my start was very good. I managed to close up on siLciR as well, I tried to overtake him from the outside (better speed coming out of a corner) but he managed to stay inside the curve, so I had to give up. Unfortunately that put more pressure on me, since Tijny & Etmil were catching us. Tijny passed me because of a sand-cutting, so I decided that I should've overtaken siLciR as soon as possible, which resulted in a little contact between our cars. Another mistake by me gave back the position to siLciR, who made a mistake as well few curves later. From this point of the race I never battled with anybody anymore. I just tried to stay as close as possible to Tijny. It worked quite well, although it took a while for me to figure out who was leading around lap 30 ("oh Tijny, so he goes for 2 pits"). I managed to drive very constantly, except for some laps when I had to lap a group of cars.
After Tijny's second pit I had about 3s lead. At that point I somehow expected to be faster than Tijny and that he lost some motivation, but it just was the opposite: I lost concentration and I started to make mistakes. The gap going down to 1.5s put the right pressure on me, so I started driving fast and constant again. First wictory, here it comes!

Very good race for me, but I suffered pressure way too much, especially in Qualify and in first laps of the race. I hope my brain gets fixed for next race

i played 6 tourneys and all ended up similar..
either someone played loose and got lucky on me or they played a longer while loose, then suddenly got a strong hand, which was slightly better than mine.
the ept final quali i sorta messed up because i raised aces in early position (2nd early position raise, i even showed aces after my 1st early position raise) and someone bluffed into me and sucked out :E

And Since GR8, Plabinho, Baddend, run in Pro Race that makes me 1st in rookie race

I am wrong?

Yes, you just get points for your Rookie race, and if you get more in pro race your pro race points coint.

@Shy, wow nice story man, it tells my whole race too... it was a nice fight, but i made so many mistakes in the end.... Whip even caught me almoust

It's so much enjoyable to play with released track. It's much easier to drive constantly with no thinking about it. Calculating the fuel doesn't make pressure to me anymore (but, somehow I missed that pretty much again

) The race was also much more cleaner then before.
My only problem is first lap where I have to have 1 or 2 really big lags (warps) because of some weird OpenGL graphic problem. I had to let all players to pass me and then caching them up. 14. position is hardly and luckily managed. (Best part of the race is duel with Kyna in very last laps)

Also, I watched Rookie race. It was pretty interesting too. Skill is very balanced (of course, except those 3-4 players who have tried to take part in pro race).
The only problem with that race is fair-play driving. Many players are not familiar enough with all gentleman rules that we fallow during the leagues.
Overtaking is performed in a rather nasty way (looks pretty much like Full C style). They almost always try to push the driver in front in order to pass him. Blocking the driver from behind is very usual move too.

MY COMMENTS

Qualify
Started with 68% and wanted to drive as less laps as possible untill i drove 34.8-9 which i gambled would give me a decent startposition.
I drove 34.995 after 4 laps but decided id try and go faster with the full 8 laps then made a mistake right before start and decided 6 laps had been enough. result (10th)

RACE

I started 10th had a bit of trouble with the crowd in the first corner alot of pushing which mostly gets me ticked off, But for a change i stayed calm and did not lost a spot.

2nd lap was doing good had some good overtakes and went to 7th place
then i saw pablinho hit the sand and miss momentum i instantly thought thats another place for me but i did not have the good angle to take the corner and stay on the road drove in the sand fell back to 11-12th place.

Maybe that lap was key for my race because for the next 12 laps i was battleing for 8th place with kyna lirarn lanz.
Lirarn was obviously drunk as he stated before, He made 26323mistakes yet kept stealing speed from others.
This ticked me off and changed my style of driving to some more aggression.

My apoligies to Etmil who had an annoyingly first outlap from the pits because of me we were fighting for position yet i thought he was getting lapped. (such arrogance from me)

Anyhow after leaving lirarn for the dust my first pit seemed to be coming along with 2 laps of nice fair fighting with badeend,
I was calmed down but still overdrove the pitlane having to drive backwards for 2 meters.

Came back on track as 13th between whiplash and kyna,
Whip got pretty much raped full contact style by kyna and me even with the replay i am like what is happening there.

To wrap my story up the last 8-9 laps i was driving solo in 10th place with lux and shy and pingu behind me lux put the pressure right on the last laps but i managed to stay in front and finish 10th.

+ dede wins the race !!!! 10th best i could hope for that race.

- Pom finishing 20th

Made a graph of my laptimes, in the middle you see i was getting lapped, forgot that this would cost me heaps of time

Also the last laps,,, to much pressure and lost some positions

im missing the points standings i have never easy been able to find view that everywhere would be nice if it could be included in the first post or a link in the first post.

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 2:41 pm

i have a rule for rookie race

pablinho dont qualify and he run the two races.. patetic dede..
another rule

the c and b drivers that dont qualify for pro race.

will be in last in the pit for the rookie race..

is total no sense

pablinho and badeend in rookie race, this kill any chance of d players to play in the pro race.

SO REAL RULE

C AND B PLAYERS WHO DONT QUALIFY IN TOP 18

WILL BE IN THE LAST POSITIONS FOR ROOKIE RACE..

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 2:43 pm

DEDE

i put a new rule here

is patetic that c and b players run rookie race..

well offcourse they will win rookie race and run pro race..

so c and b drivers that dont qualify for pro race

will be in last lines for rookie race this will make more hard to them win and give more chances to d players run pro race this is my idea.

SEEMS FAIR..

Can you explain a bit, how you did this? I know you have to copy/paste the data from the log to a spreadsheet program [Excel?] but what exactly one has to do etc, I don't know. Help out!

Jurgen-NL · Post by **Jurgen-NL** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 5:30 pm

also is it me or are the tracks only getting harder to overtake on

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 5:46 pm

this tijny track is very slim total hard to overtake with no hit..

serious i dont like this track..

seems hard and to overtake anyone is a mess..

the tracks need to be more large.

TIJNY TAKE A look is jefrey malta tracks..

large tracks ...

we need large tracks not this thin tracks that is so patetic hard to overtake..

and will be a chaos in curves..
i am with jurgen..

first track was more more larger than this one..

i aprecciate tijny works but i have the right to give my opnion

i think large tracks is the best..

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 5:50 pm

jurgen is right first time this track is f*** thin almost impossible to overtake

No he doesn't. You are the only one thinking that weaker players should get advantages. I at least try to win in fair ways. I wouldn't like winning with that kind of unfair advantage. Well, probably I shouldn't have replied as this is one of your nonsense suggestions that shouldn't be taken seriously.

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 5:53 pm

holy shit this is one of worst track evar. serious total thin and dont have any space for overtaking

Good lord, yesterday you said you liked it. It's exactly 2 pixels narrower than Turtleton, and still wider than any of last season's tracks so I really don't get where you're coming from.

By hand in excel, just wrote all my laptimes down lol, while i was watching replay of race, then i putted them into excel and used scatterplot with line:P First i wanted to to it for everyone, and then also a graph total time, like in GPRO, lap chart etc

But meh... lots of work. It's cool to have those statistics thoguh xD

reirom · Post by **reirom** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 6:00 pm

see almost impossible to overtake with no touch f*** small thin
serious tijny jurgen is right

this track dont have any place to overtake with a risk of a crash..

i think we need large tracks like jefrey tracks i will take a pic of jefrey to compare

f1 is about speed..

and overtaking , you guys here is so annoying about touch etc, and made small tracks like this..
