Uploaded all 3 replays from the Race of Champion races.

 

[stelephant]

Great job racing everyone. Looked like a lot of fun races, sorry that I missed. Hopefully the power lines were fixed well this time. Just got power back about an hour ago. Watched the stream.

 

[Rednose58]

Congratulations to @racingchamp30 who destroyed the rest of the field with three awesome wins and a perfect score of 100. That guy is unstoppable once he gets into a groove.

The data is below. The more I look at it the more interesting things pop up. Here are some:

1. Race 1 finished within 0.2 seconds from the target time

2. I was wondering how the updated tire model is going to affect the fastest lap times and a very interesting result came out:

- In race 1 almost everyone had a faster lap by quite a margin compared to their best lap in season.
- In races 2 and 3 it was the opposite. Almost everyone was slower by quite a margin.
> Race 1 was on SS tires and Races 2/3 was on RH tires. mmmm......​

3. The fasted lap in Race 1 was by a D3 driver - Drop the sandbags during the season @THRASH

4. Race 1 was one of our closest overall finishes yet, with 7 cars in the short main straight chasing champ over the line.

Thanks to @Raw10_2u who helped with the texting, @MajorBlixem who did the spectator broadcast and @SAMHAIN85 who jumped in and typed the gaps when he came in for the last race. All these things make it a little easier come race night.

I had a rough few days doing landscaping and we went to town to buy a tree and groceries this afternoon. When we entered the grocery store I asked my wife what time it is.... 6:35 pm mountain time - 25 minutes before I have to open the room and I have not set anything up yet. We just ran through the store and picked up what was urgent and raced home.... got the room open a minute or two late..... and then I accidentally kicked @THRASH instead of one of the intruders. Then we had to open a new room.

But after all is said in done, it was a good night, I think.

 

[Rednose58]

..... and @racingchamp30 for uploading the replays.

Who else did I forget?

 

[Hanable]

Yea last night was fun. Im guessing they are always going to mess with the tire physics just to keep us interested. I didnt really feel a difference but the data says otherwise. I dont argue facts.

 

[THRASH]

3. The fasted lap in Race 1 was by a D3 driver - Drop the sandbags during the season @THRASH

That combo is one of my favorites I’ve ever done. And also I wrecked lap 3 and fell behind. By the time I got spun back around I got behind @Mully465 and studied his braking points and then a couple laps later I cranked out that bullet lap. Great race.
