Generally Rookie Championship : Season 18 [Login][Race]

[Mszostus]

During Masters races, the settings will be :

* Tyre wear : 8%
* Fuel consumption : 7%
* Fuel mass : 100kg
* Damage : 15%

Why in settings writes 100kg? A bad race for me

What a fail. These are correct settings, of course. I've changed preview of the race. Thank you!

A bad race for me

Yeah, you were unlucky.

Edit: 6000th post in Competitions section.

[XYY]

Silly AI's! And I had such a good time advantage...
Well, congrats to Dany anyway, and of course to Haruna too. (How can you call your race bad?)

[Alex]

Sorry for late submit, but my email provider took longer than usual to attach the files.

[Haruna]

Wow, that WAS some pretty thrilling stuff.

[MD]

Wow, that WAS some pretty thrilling stuff.

Yeah, kinda! And congrats for the victory despite of an awful race
(And BTW I'm about to wave bye for the title again )

[Haruna]

I'm gonna leave one clue for all of you and one clue only to winning.

Don't try to pull a single stop strategy. It's impossible, since your tank will only last 23 of the 50 laps. No amount of perfect tracing of the shortest driving line will save you.

Unfortunately, I had to penalize 2 drivers. One of them was twice warned about login time and now he did it again. The second one just spent too much time, I don't know why.

Some freezing in-between. I decided to re-start.

As for some 'bonus', I have mobile net connection problems for a while, during the whole season. I even had to skip the 5th race because of that. I hope I'll have more luck for the final track but most pobably login will be overtime as well. Just downloaded a 3.5MB file and it took 15 minutes (?!?)

Doesn't really matter, real race cars produce problems, too.

I'm not at the top of my speed these days, anyway

That is slow. I will consider this when making results, so don't worry. I wish you told me this before.

[Haruna]

I think, that tie-breaker will be impossible - either mplume wins, or I win.

Pressure is at the maximum... I feel nervous.

No man, please don't worry about that Real cars have overheated engines, blown tires, damaged wings. GRacers have bad settings, bad AI passing, blown pit stops and so on. Real is real, if I run an overtime race for whatever reason and there is penalty in the rules for that, it is absolutely okay

I do hope some serious fight in the top (c'mon Haruna, stomp the pedal to the metal) and I wish best luck for my teammate good ol' Dogg during the final race

[mplume]

Lol, don't stress, I haven't start any training yet.

[Haruna]

Argh this is impossible ;_;

I can't even get close to LorSong's time in S16, I stand no chance of winning!!!

Premature congrats to you mplume

[mplume]

Premature congrats to you mplume

But don't count on me for the victory, my race is done and I have made a lot of mistakes. I've lost something like 3 or 4 seconds with annoying AIs...

Hope I'll still finish this championship at the 2nd place.

[Haselnuss]

I will go before dany in the points.
I did so many times just not far away but then I made a mistake and he has passed to me.

[Haruna]

Darnit darnit darnit darnit darnit

I regret doing so poorly at Knockhill and Osknockheim... if only I could do better than 3rd...

Ugh, winning is like a drug: once you get some you want more. And right now, I'm going through withdrawal symptoms.

[Areen]

Replay sended, but I think this will be weak race for me

[XYY]

Well, not very good race. But in the end my race was better so it's hopefully not that bad -> I hope to be in top 10

Thanks the tip, it saved my race. I crashed on lap 4, so i remembered from what you've say and make my first pitstop.

[Haruna]

@mplume
I may have finished better than you 4/5 times in the regular races, but I think you got me where it counts - the final double points race.
Again congrats to you if you're victor.

[Reh]

i wonder wether the deadline times are GMT or not...well, i hope so.

my race started with a small mistake in the first corner, but continued with a good pace, until the tires were worn when i completely lost my rhythm. same at the end of the second stint, i even crashed after the stop due to too much grip

in the end i think i was quite lucky (expecially with the AIs) which i need to be, between Mszostus in 3rd and me in 7th there are only 7 pts difference, which is almost nothing due to doubled pts

can't wait for the results!

[Buka]

I decided to extend deadline till 22:00 UTC as some drivers with high place in standings missed it. So everyone who wants may do his race.

[Reh]

So? I'm not impatient, no i'm not...

[Buka]

This is the end. The last race of the 18th season of the GRC is history now.

Congratulations who managed to race 50 laps on roads of Dicrette. The results are where they must be (replays though aren't proper due to my stupid mistake on the beginning. Only those who changed .ini are included. Sorry).

Thank you for racing here. It's a real pleasure to manage GRC thanks to drivers!

And now some congratulations to the winners :

Haruna, Areen, GRPL Team and German drivers!

Oh, yeah. The winner and the runner-up are blacklisted now.

[Areen]

YEAH! I was worried about my result but I didn't expect that my time would be in top 10. Now I'm blacklisted, right?

Thanks to Mszostus for a lot of good tips and sharing your results, and to others for great contest.
