Bryce has to come up with an lot better way for Handicaps, because there is noway in the world myself or @RMan72 can win this hole 3 with a .750 of an handicap. A .750 is silly and if it does not change to no handicaps, it is not worth trying to do your best at these Goodwood events anymore.

Handicaps are good if you do these Goodwood events just once, and you just post one time and that all you have to do. Handicaps do not work when you do these Goodwood events over an over, and it just make no sense what so ever to have them.
So if you want these Goowood events to continue, you must have no handicaps.

If we have no handicaps you or @RMan72 will win every race and that's not fair for the other players, the only reason your saying this is because @smoothbore12 is beating you, and the reason for that is, is because he has played the system well by only just doing enough to get to the next round and minimizing his time penalty, Which is what everyone should do
(play cat and mouse).
You my have a big time penalty at the moment but everyone else will catch up.

I'll put a poll up about this.

 

[smoothbore12]

Good morning guys everywhere.
First of all you know that am joking ( a lot sometimes) don't you? Of course you know that.

As about Goodwood ,Bryce was trying to bring all the gang together since were not enough to have a full 2 different divisions .
The reason for that is to be able someone not so good " driver" to be able to win ,a thing that happened few times in the past.
There's not a gold formula to do that and after all we have to consider that everyone can have a good ride or fast ride depending on car - track compo and driving style that everyone has.
Am not that good ,it just happens to suit this time .
@Thematic for example always kick our a.s.s. in such type of challenges but only the last time won his first no tune challenge in div2.

On the other hand looking at the first post of this page on top ,is quite different with the last above .
After all we are not surrender our soul to the evil , We're here to have fun ,made some jokes one another and have good time.
Just happens this time to get " lucky " and efficient that's all .
What pleases me the most is not to win with a handicap ,but that i can " follow" sometimes the best here.
And that " sometimes" is enough for me.
By the way at 3 crown i ll suck at it cause the behaviour of the car which is way out of my style and need surgery moves in order to steer right.
But is what it is and is just crazy for me to run without full aero to a track like Monaco.
Ill try what i can at least not to bang everywhere in the track at 7 lap distance and thats all.
Am way far from what Snow White bring as a result .....over 20sec.

Edit
@bjl23 it wasn't a short of a plan ,just occurs that way cause i knew that i could bring better time with KTM and just try at the end of the round and happens.
Just wanted to keep up with Goodwood if i can to improve and my lazy records also.

I don't care if @smoothbore12 is beating me but to me it is an unfair time penalty, and you talk about the next round and minimizing his time penalty, it does not make you try hard at this Goodwood event does it.
To play cat and mouse does not bring the best out of you.

To make my self clear ,it wasn't a cat of mouse and if we all have played this one i think that we all be close enough cause of the car which wasn't that difficult as KTM.
Personally i always try my best as i did with a fully loaded Audi in last championship without considering benefits or whatever .
And in the past when Bryce put on me almost one minute in a rain race and was close to big boys here i just to him even if still i can't swallow it
Relax and stay cool is not the same everyday and surprises do exist for everyone.
Have a nice day to all got to go to work guys.

@RMan72 had some similar concerns about people may sandbag, which told him I don't think people will sandbag here at the hub.

Let me ask you this, do you think it's fair if I make events that only 1 or 2 people have a chance of winning?

To make it fair have and A Division and a B Division .

 

[bjl23]

To make it fair have and A Division and a B Division .

I did think of that when I was designing the event but what turned me away from that idea was the no-tune challenge, if people didn't participate then someone might be by them self (like you were in the last no-tune round)

 

[CBH]

NO-TUNE: First try , a good pick of car Bryce 👍. Why I was just about to stop on the side of the track below, is because some people in the crowd wanted an autograph from me .

@lfm58 picked the car, also you need to move the arrow (in your bottom picture) over to the driving options icon so we know you used the courtesy car.

Roger that Bryce, I do it again tomorrow.

 

[bjl23]

I've figured a way we can make sure sandbagging / cat and mouse doesn't happen at goodwood,
Everyone send me your times via pm, and I'll only post the results at the end of the round.

Thoughts?

 

[Thematic]

Triple Crown II
999 bhp
The first race went wrong on lap six, got stuck because leaving the bump chicane too aggressively, went from 1st to 4th but I did finish (ahead). Then a couple of restarts and 10:31.329.
From 1:31.333, 1:31.933, 1:30.350, 1:30.378, 1:29.283, 1:29.014, 1:29.028 (or so, add 10 ms to get the total).

We can try it Bryce and if it does not work, we can always go to plan B .

 

[smoothbore12]

To solve the " problem" that occurs due to my pace at last Goodwood challenge am officially OUT of it and please Boss erase my time for that round.
I already erase the times from my posts ,you need just to fix the first page post.
As for the next round don't know how will go but before start playing i will post the records that already exists .

As i wrote to Sniper just came from work and saw the conversation with Bryce for the one second " gift" that may needed.
My record was 59.900 plus ,just a simple gold as the most of them are.
When i try it i saw that i have the potential to compete and honestly i thought that it will be funny that from the one second " gift" go straight to the top and i imagine the surprise that my mates feel after that.

After that i just need a favour from @Thematic which is very good at these challenges to give it a try .
Since is better than me am curious what really could bring as a result .
Also Snow white can take my place to be fair anyway that goes with or without handicap.
@CozmicDragon here is your chance.

So the field is clear to battle for top spot since am out and sorry if i bring a trouble in any aspect.
The only " plan " that can have from time to time is hide my best effort for last day but even that take place quite few times and Bryce knows better than me what am talking about.
Pity that Paddy is out and can't compete cause am sure he could hit almost a dead 54 at this one .
Kisses guys and no harm done , everything is cool.

PS
The only sandbagging i did in purpose ( or better WE all did ) was when we play against COWT team and was only in one session which we all being significantly faster than them and was the Audi at red bull . And in the past when we was running as teams couple of times.
Since we came to the level not to shoot a vid for almost all challenges and use only a single pic. to justify the result ....... Is a bit annoying ( at least) to figure out that someone play tricks in order to gain a victorious result.
The next level could be that may someone borrow his records to someone else and so on ,but i can't even dare to imagine that someone could Think that way.

Some time back a few of you sent me the Boss Mustang race at Laguna Seca thinking that was the next race and it was not so anybody that sent me the Boss race could you please send it again as I get on average 200+ email a day. The Boss race at Laguna Seca is running NOW!

A question for “only some of you”. Is my school way too difficult for you? Give me your thoughts.

Only few times depending on car if is difficult .
For me its just fine ( except that Hugh is permanent winner ) its cool and interesting.
The only problem for me is that i have to occupy the tv for long period and that's not such a good idea sometimes
Usually i leave this for Sundays but now am working and at Sundays ant thats against play time.
And many times i enjoyed to the Max with your car - track compos.
For me its ok difficult or not i try my best even if its frustrating sometimes destroy a good result due to an error or an annoying and unwanted " kiss" with a rushing AI.
👍 and .

Thank you good buddy but you and Hugh are in every race. "You win your share of races too" and you would have won the last one if it was not for what happend mid-way on the last lap. I would like to hear from other that have never race at SkeagRacingSchool. Just so you know if you end up in P1P2 and P3 you are a winner

I'm not letting you quit, you have done nothing wrong and none of this is because of you.
I'm not removing your current times.

The Goodwood event needs a whole new rethink so it makes the player "try", instead of a cat & mouse game for the next hole.
I got a better time at hole 3 at Goodwood but I will not post it, because why try your best at a hole when one player can not try hard, so he/she can take an advantage for the next hole with a handicap.

 

[smoothbore12]

Handicap or not ,fair or less fair ,plan or not i know exactly where i stand competing my mates.
Winning is an option , getting " better" is my purpose and have fun thats all.

I always try to participate at school lessons even if know that Hugh or Davor will grab the win ,but that's not bother me cause both are way better than me ,the main thing is to be better for my shelf and even if i win sometime they are still better than me but as in real life ,the best is not always win and the same applies here.
We have fun , learning and became better due to competition thats all.
Have a good day all.

No I think car/race are good match mostly. Best ones are where you can barely win the race.
I'll try to do new Mustang race, but you have my old vid if I don't make it

 

[bjl23]

CHICI can't believe how bad the AI is in this race
