Lotus Elise World Tour | Saturday Racing Series | Round Six: 7th Jan

Err, I went through everyone's number in the replay and I'm pretty sure there was only one #1, and no others were duplicates either You looked like you had the same number as me though, but didn't... ^^

BTW, if we return to the Elise's, could we make a rule that only the reigning champion can use #1? It strongly looks like it'll be Eclat, as he has 118 points against neljack's 96, but I guess it'll add realism to the series. Of course if the champ wants, he can go Rossi/Simoncelli (RIP) style and keep their current number.

I'm pretty sure this proves you wrong

But i got fooled by marundas pictures. They're featuring him and a higher place so much that i thought there were many more ^^

Pfft, I've had better, 20-ish seconds back and made the comeback, same track, only problem is I also got hit a couple more times, so I made twice the turn-around of everyone!

Was than in a race were everyone has the same car/HP? I have done the same in shuffle and PP races..............

I could swear AHP had a different number

 

[Phouchg]

liked the idea about the numbers though.. would that include giving number 2 to second place and so on as well?

I guess we can include that to some extent, top 5 positions probably? Of course it would be optional, but yeah, you know...

BTW, how are you suddenly so active now, compared to the time when you had no time to race?

 

[Phouchg]

Well heh before christmas i had work every day except the weekends so then i wanted to do other stuff during weekends. Now i'm free most saturdays and late fridays for racing.. still no sundays though so no GT1 for me.

BST V8 Challenge, I had the speed on everyone but I had absolutely no luck and I :censored:ed up on my tyres, I think I was in every single position in that race.

You know, if you are at some point last and then win the race, you will automatically be holding every single position during the race, at least for a millisecond

That's cool enough, I like racing Swedes as our countries have always had our rivalries, and GT is one of the places where this small country really has the ability to rise and shine.

Yeah, but I had been in every single position on lap 1 of that race, and then again at multiple points, it was a crazy race for me.

You beat me to it.
When do the points update?

Motorsport in general is an area where finns are amazing compared to the size of their country ^^ you keep producing f1drivers and rallydrivers at the highest level. Meanwhile it was ages since there was any swede in one of the top classes..

You asked for it...

 

[Phouchg]

woot a completely new one? Seems like i'm rising slowly. Doubt that i'll be able to gain any more places in the last race though ^^

 

[Carbonox]

I really wanted to make one of those for this series as well, and with no updates in the past couple of weeks, I decided to do my duty

 

[carracerptp]

So... best I could hope for is 3rd.... Wish I had the time to race this from the start.
And you never used that lounge on race 1

 

[Carbonox]

Who what where?

 

[carracerptp]

1 more...

Damn you Carracerptp.

It is a great series. Really hope for another one in the future. Also that number thing sounds good- but only if everyone has the number of their final position in the championship. It would mean giving up #1 though.

But i got fooled by marundas pictures. They're featuring him and a higher place so much that i thought there were many more ^^

My photos generally feature me more because I know when something happens in my race- and it just so happens that I had quite a few battles with A_Higher_Place.


Anywho, can't wait for Daytona (love that track), Suzuka isn't really one of my favourite tracks- I always make mistakes there for some reason.

Unless Neljack wins and Dax scores less than three points Dax wins it seems.


Hoping for a good finish at Daytona to nab me a couple more places in the standings.

 

[Phouchg]

Yay! more pictures of me ^^ Very nice picture carracer, might use it as wallpaper (Your name is so hard because the brain always try to convert the letters to a known word like carrera or something, when it actually should be read like car racer ^^)

And marunda i'm really not complaining about your pictures they're great and it's not weird to show pictures of yourself. Just realized that it was why thought there was lots of #1

I know you weren't complaining, I wasn't getting grumpy. I was just pointing out the reason why there are more pics of me.

 

[DaxCobra]

Enough with the banter, we all know the real fight is for constructors. I think Lotus might just win it this season.

 

[DaxCobra]

Thanks, Carb! <3

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I'm surprised Lotus_Seven hasn't been in the last couple of races. He was in with a shout at the champnioship.

 

[DaxCobra]

3 way fight for 3rd in the championship...

Although if Seven shows up and Sagarismic wins with everyone else not scoring much at all then it could be classed as 5 but basically Carb, Carracer and me could get 3rd, as could Seven if he shows up.

 

[DaxCobra]

Seven wont show up.

Also, guys, how would you all feel about an F1 series next?

Don't miss him with that attitude...

And I'm really not too fond of it because the cars are still kind of annoying to control. Super fast even with power limiter and all that.

Im trying to get the cars nice to drive with certain settings.

May take a while.

I'm apparently getting the "automatic" 3rd place if I get a podium... or less if you or carracer don't win.

 

[DaxCobra]

I want 62.5% of wins this season. I'mma win next week.
