Drawning for Round 1:
[center]Welcome to the today's draw for the 1st Round of the Race of Champions 2016! :clap: :clap:

After a weak placed Qualifier round the 12 drivers for the RoC are determined! Like you have already seen, they're in 3 Pots. Pot 1 will get in on the Quarter-Finals. They have one free week, the rest will start this Sunday. Pot 2 will drive on version A against Pot 3 who is driving on version B of the Torun RoC track!

Anyway. 8 drivers, 8 cars, 4 duels. Who will drive against who? We'll see right now!

-------

The first driver set is the Polish Mszostus! And he must go against GR Driver! In the PGRF1 Mszostus proved to be much faster then GR Driver, on GRID: Hat-trick Mszostus was also a little bit faster, but not that much. The car could decide that duel, which Mszostus could go as favorite.

And the car for them is the Lotus Exige Series 3. A sports car. While GR Driver don't have experience with such cars, Mszostus's time in GTT could help him.

--------


Draw Number 2, and the first driver is Yankess. A very fast Polish driver. GRTCC Champion in Spring 2015 and with much experience in GRPL F1. He must go against ACM! A very exciting battle already. Both never drove against each other, but from the clean performance, both should be on the same level.

The CheetahGGT will be the used car for them. A little bit in favor of ACM, familiar with similar V8 Supercars. But, we won't know who won until we know who won.

--------

Let's go on. Duel number 3 will be on the one side between Trigger Happy. On the other side will be Zegarek. Zegarek was, before 2015 dominating in GRFGP and was the first in the (sportly not very interesting) Qualifier. TriggerHappy also made some good results, the performance won't give someone the status of a favorite.

They will use the Lambda PN3/15 LeMans Prototype (3). Trigger Happy have experience with these kind of cars, Zegarek not. A advantage for Trigger Happy?

--------

The last duel is, from the side who will drive, clear. It'll be Gzehoo against DanRos. A often seen duel, as they're participating in many championships. But Gzehoo is the favorite here, as he have proven to be faster then the Austrian.

The only unclear aspect is the car. Until now. Then they'll be driving a CheetahGGT, already the 2nd appearance of this car. Both know these type of car, but they have never actually droven it, only similar cars. But as they have around as same experience in this sort of car, it's won't really affect the chances of both.


Now here in short.

Version A-Version B--Car

Mszostus---GR Driver; Lotus Exige Series 3
Yankess---ACM; CheetahGGT
TriggerHappy---Zegarek; Lambda PN3/15
Gzehoo---DanRos; Cheetah GGT


The duels are scheduled on this Sunday. The winners will drive on Version B against the Pot 1 drivers Maclape, Kuba, Alonso or RobertRacer.[/center]

Simple, most are qualified already. :D

Me going against Mszoustus will be tough. I know, he's a very good competitor on track, you may find out, when you see him easily going toe to toe with the best.
Lotus Exige Series 3: As I' don't know what to expect of this car, I've to take this strictly seriously.

Wait... what??...

I didn't sign up to get in. I mean, no one told me this was one of those events you had to opt out of.

I didn't prepare for this at all. I haven't even raced in ages.

Okay, well, since I did not formally accept your invitation, am I permitted to just opt out then? I can participate for you if I absolutely must, but my enthusiasm for this game has sort of completely dropped off since last summer.

I feel sorry and it's a shame you found your login just some minutes ago :worried: I really was looking for this duel, because I wanted to see how other drivers handle the track
But thank you very much, I try my best :)

Results of Round 1:

[center] 1:11,88 Mszostus ---GR Driver 1:11,97 (+0,09s) (Lotus Exige Series 3)
1:10,30 (+2,38s) Yankess---ACM 1:07,92 (CheetahGGT)
DNF TriggerHappy--- Zegarek 1:12,86 (Lambda PN3/15)
1:11,71 Gzehoo ---DanRos 1:13,90 (+2,19s) (Cheetah GGT)[/center]


The 1st Round is finished with 7 of 8 drivers finishing the Round. ACM, who drove the first time a racing car since a while, won with a dominating fashion against Yankess, the GRTCC champion. Also, Gzehoo won unsurprisingly against DanRos. But the closest duel was the first one. Mszostus just won by 0.09 seconds against the German GR Driver. The replay is worth watching. ;) Zegarek won by default, as TriggerHappy didn't drove, even when he wanted.

Shortly: Mszostus, ACM, Zegarek and Gzehoo come to Quarter-Finals
Notes:
-TriggerHappy didn't found login.
-Due to communication error between organisators, everyone drove on B-Track. This will be changed to Quarter-Final

I'll start earlier because I am sick. :ouch: So, because I can regenerate more....



Drawing for Quarter-Finals:
[center]Welcome to the Drawing for the Quarter-Finals. 4 Drivers already ended their RoC experience after Round 1. Especially GRTCC S4 Champion Yankess, who lost badly against ACM. So, ACM could become a favorite here.

But first, let's see who will drive against whom. The drivers from Pot 1, who could skip Round 1, Maclape, Kuba, Alonso and RobertRacer will drive on A-Version against winning drivers from Round 1 (Mszostus, ACM, Zegarek and Gzehoo) on B-Version.

For the Group-B drivers RobertRacer would be a dream to have him as opponent, as he isn't as strong as the rest. On the other side, Maclape would be a nightmare. Also for the A-Drivers ACM could very fast become a nightmare.

Anyway, let's start!

-------------

The first drivers are picked. Alonso must drive against the hardest of the Round 1 drivers. ACM. As he have beaten Yankess with no problems, it could be, that ACM would kick out Alonso out of the RoC. But we'll see. And the car stays a CheetahGGT!!!! With the same car ACM have beaten Yankess in Round 1. Clear a advantage for ACM, or maybe not? Alonso is leading the 2016 GTT championship now. He have experience with GT cars. But will it still help him against ACM, who already used this car?

----------


Duel 2. This time RobertRacer will start in RoC. Against Mszostus. After he (very closely) have beaten GR Driver Mszostus could eliminate the 2nd German Driver. But, when everything is going after RobertRacer's plans, he can beat Mszostus, as he did in PGRF1 sometimes. But usually, it'd be Mszostus, who is in the favorite rule.

Their car will be the ACB Dash GTC2. Both drivers have experience with TouringCars, but Mszostus never drove a car of the GTC2 classification, the younger brother of the GTC1 cars. But, the last time RobertRacer drove a GTC2 car, he won the Polish Touring Car Championship. So, we'll be excited, who will win there.

-----------

We're going to Duel 3 now. Now it's going up to the 2015 RoC winner, 2015 GWR World Champion and 2015 PGRF1 champion Maclape. And his opponent will be easy, as it's Gzehoo. No need to say more about this.

The car for this round however, will be the Ariel Atom. A car, which have proven to have very much understeer. Who will come the best with it? And don't forget. One crash, and the RoC could be over.


---------

Last duel, last drivers. Of course the last duel will be Kuba vs Zegarek. A prestigious duel from the GRFGP in 2014 over the title, which the German won after a very long lead from the Polish Kuba, though. 2015 however, Kuba lost his pace from 2014 and ended up in the Midfield. Let's see, what will happen there.

And their cars will be cars, which aren't really made for 100% concrete tracks, like the RoC track in Torun. It's the MCar RX16. Only Kuba, Global Rallycross Series champion knows this type of car, but the car itself, is unknown by the drivers. But Kuba seems to have an advantage.


Now, every duel in short form:

Alonso---ACM; CheetahGGT
RobertRacer---Mszostus; ACB Dash GTC2
Maclape---Gzehoo; Ariel Atom
Kuba---Zegarek; Mcar RX16.


Every duel will be held on Sunday; Deadline 23:59 CET.[/center]
