Can I place a late entry?

 

[cgr-10]

Yeah sure mate, I've just come offline though. Got time to do your run tomorrow day/night? Deadline is Friday 23:00BST 👍

 

[Strawman Andy]

I think, by my maths, my overall time was 12:20.741

Which means Im 2nd atm?

Great fun driving this cars - little bit hard to control with oversteer than understeer but its FF and its driving skill needed 👍

Done for now.

 

[Furinkazen]

Yeah tomorrow will be fine Tom.

 

[Matty]

Results updated. Points table now included. For lazy people and GTP app users mainly. Also handy to quickly check the fastest time for each event.

You may as well consider me as the season's statistician

I even spelt it right

 

[cgr-10]

New points system has been implemented, check out the OP. It's quite complicated

Do they get 10 points for winning the power stage or 35 (10 + 25)?

10+25 👍

 

[Matty]

10+25 👍

Fixing it now 👍

Done, biggest improver from the new system is Akmuq, overtaking me and Gogatrs. (Excuse the poor and accidental pun.) Due to him having one bad stage and improving from there.

I am not amused.

 

[cgr-10]

I am not amused.

It's a much fairer system in the long run I have to say 👍

 

[Matty]

I am not amused.

I shouldn't be either, but I think it's a fairer points system and rewards people even if they lose a lot of time in a certain stage.

It was my idea so any flaming should be directed at me personally rather then TomMcD. 👍 (I know you weren't flaming anyone, just for future possibilities)

 

[gogatrs]

No worries.
akmuq is obviously quicker.

 

[cgr-10]

akmuq is obviously quicker.

To be honest, this is a case in point at how fair the new points system is. He screwed up his first run due to having the wrong suspension setup, but since he collects points for good finishes in the other stages, it doesn't completely ruin his rally 👍

Now thank me for the idea? 💡

 

[Racingworld68]

I still think we should be able to practise the powerstage.... i was not prepaired for this one, and it ruined my rally..... i can live with my other times, but not with the power stage outcome....

Matty, you're an idiot.


Ayway, what is everyone talking about, can we abuse Matty?

I think Tom would prefer if we didn't practice any stages, make it more like real life, but some people, *cough* Joe *cough*, do practice, as seen by the good SS times but poor Power Stage times.

So you are tellin' me, that the stewards did not at least try once the powerstage out ??
Or everybody gets to try out, or nobody gets to try out....

I hadn't driven it beforehand.

Here's a tip if you want practice, just make a rally stage out of the course creator, very narrow and complex, and you will have quite good preparation for the Power Stage.👍

well it is obvious i need it, i am 30 sec. running behind on the powerstage, i know i forgot to change my gearbox, but i did not crash....

You need to drive it aggressively, I saw in the WRS-Online event that you're a good tyre saver, that won't come in handy at all in this series I'm afraid, think of everything you do to save tyres, and just not do that when you're on dirt.👍

Saving my tyres, is becoming my 'trademark', in some races i am able to do double stints on my tyres (20 laps where others struggle to do 10) but that does also mean i am a little of the pace...

For me this rally event is a first timer, so i will try to learn as much as possible from it, we will see what the following weeks will bring. 👍

Just keep at it, I've learnt a lot in the past few weeks from time trials, cause I'm pushing hard and trying to keep the right line at speed's above my ordinary..

maybe we should set up a room this week, and do some trainning togheter....

If you want, but be warned I'm not good with timekeeping.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I could've pushed a bit harder on the power stage, as I was worried about hitting a wall and getting damage.

For the other 2 stages I did no more than about 10 laps on each.

I practiced since it was confirmed to be allowed for the tracks already in the game (just not the created tracks).

 

[Matty]

If there's any new times in tell me so I can update my stats 👍
