The
Points Standings Sheet and the
Ballast Tracker Sheet have been updated and I have posted the new screen shots.
I still have to post the updated vehicle weight figures for those who have accrued some ballast this week. It looks like
@fastone371 and
@SDM_Viper are maxed out at 5%. By Championship rules they
cannot accrue any more weight penalty and will only lose weight by finishing out of the top 5 in a race. Missing races does not remove weight.
@SDM_Viper and
@fastone371 did a great job this week overcoming the ballast that they had accrued. Viper was already near maxed out for this race but
@fastone has gained quite a bit of weight for the next race. A full 2 percentage points! It's going to be interesting how things develop from here. Will any of the other competitors be able to capitalize?
The points standings are looking very tight at the top! 5 points separate the top three drivers! Clean Racer has the lead by a mere 2 points over
@fastone371 who has two consecutive race wins. But
@SDM_Viper is lurking nearby. He has shown that he can manage the added weight and still score points.
We are at the mid season break... Next weeks race is a
Special Event where we will be racing the Renault R8 Gordini at Goodwood. This event is a just for fun no tuning affair. It's a fantastic little car. We will be running it in Stock settings using Sport Soft tires. Tire wear and fuel will be the usual x3. There will be 2 20 minute races with reverse grid for race 2. Who is gonna make it to the race?
Race organizers are meeting to discuss a possible rules change. The discussion is about turning tire wear and fuel use on during qualifying. They are thinking that it may add a touch of strategy and help drivers prepare for what the tire wear will be like during the race.
Drivers, let your thought be known on the issue... the Organizers are always listening.
