Generally Rookie Championship : Season 16 [Login][Race]

[bduddy]

Not the most AI friendly track.. Didn't practice much but I think it was decent.

(PS - 100 euros says the winning speed is over 110 km/h and fastest lap below 10 seconds)

If you mean 100km/h and lap below 11 seconds, then yes.

I would hope so... even I did that well!

barely...

I would prefer to agree, cause my time is just a little above. But, I'm a Bronze class so, Haruna may have reason...

Otherwise, that red car deserves a dirty word. When try to get some overtakes to put laps, that bad guy pull me off!

[Trigger Happy]

From curiosity I tried to do two practices and I agree, the red AI is annoying.

My guess of winner is 107-108 kph and BL 10.20 sec.

Pity, that I cannot run with you.

[Buka]

Even Ivo was mistaken. Winner's speed was much less! You'll know it when you look here. But it will be much interesting if you first watch replays. As they are soooo interesting.

Congratulations with great start of the season. 21 racer - the biggest number in GRC since 1st event of 13th season in october 2009.

Standings will come later this day.

And now my 2 words about some moments of the race:

First of all about panelties. Ginseng and DRV ( Young man, I'll have special talk with you later) had the same problem. They both sent screenshot which they made while training. And accroding to the rules, they have 2 sec penalty per km.
Red and mainly Calder (you could win! ) lost very much starting not from the pole. Take a look at this tutorial.
Nico, vice-champion of GeneRally Italia, made awesome start. Of course, Ginseng's mistake helped him, but what do you want? This man last raced in july 2005, even before I joined the community and I've been here for ages! Anyway, Ginseng showed that he still is very strong driver. Congratulations also to Calders who did fantastic finish: from 5th to 2nd in just 2 laps and from 4th to 2nd in just 2 last corners! Unlucky Masakari instead lost 2 positions on last a few meters of racing distance. Haruna showed that trainings are very important and though he didn't like this track, he managed to finish on podium. PEB... Damn AI's, I can't say nothing more. He probably will be very dissapointed of his 6th place, because he was the very best during the first half of the race.
Thanks to everyone who raced. Never give up and always remember MissileSurfer's career! From last to victory in 3 seasons.

Oh, and don't forget that every rookie is welcomed here and registration is never closed until the final race ending.

[Rendy]

Goh dang it, another out-of-top-10 place.....

Seriously, my goal is to reach Top 10, but usually this circumstance is what makes me break down.

[Bouncebackability]

haha, 9th again! same results as last season! But im happy that that final practice would have been much more competitive, my PB laptime was a 10.65
Congratulations to the winner, very fast

[Ginseng]

will need to check that when am back home....usually that cant be....such a blunder.... maybe I sent the wrong file as i didnt delete some of my test screenshots...but i definitely made a correct one.that'll be first time ever that I made a mistake in sending wrong material...oh please...cant be true...

Unfortuntely it is true. Look at the name of track on the pic. There should be R1 instead of 01 if it was correct track.

Sorry for double post, but it's important.

Login for round 2 is ready. As someone of you noticed Xavelot has some places where you may cut curves. It's not forbidden.

[Quklis]

I thought I'd finish 5th for the whole race but then in the end I seemed to be 6th.. Then just like in the last season's start I overtook a driver in the last corner . (I finished 2 positions higher than last season though.. same amount as blacklisted drivers )

I'm quite happy with the race, though AI destroyed my chances of getting good best lap

[Mad Dan]

I´m sick nowadays, so I did just about 5 training laps and started my race . Well the result is even better than I dreamed...... this season maybe a podium

[Haruna]

Holy crap! Me, of all people, on podium!?

Buka, you sure these results are correct?

You're still good enough. My results are out-of-the-board..

[Calders]

Second! wow, I wish I had entered one of these competitions before now! very happy with the result, being my first race ever! I cant wait for the next race

[Darkenedflame22]

i really sucked only reason i didnt come last was cos of people getting penalties. i WILL do alot better in second race.

[Santana 2.0]

Well, some problems around here and only one training. This time I can do better...

[MD]

O Hai!

Newcomers on the podium! Congratulations, guys ^__^
nico, Calders, Haruna Say, mizzamar: tough race, and so close finish. It was nice to watch ...from the back. I'm 7th But I'm still happy: Team Miskolc is the leader of the teams' championship
Well, good practice for everyone in Xavelot! Have a nice race ^^,

[Rendy]

Well, I'm writing the recap for the race on my blog, but not covering all drivers at once. Just the front runners, the "Epic Win Moment", me, and my team. Expect to be posted approximately 14hrs from now.

[Rich.K]

Congrats to the RKR pilots all finishing the first race for the team, congrats to Nico and Calders well done, nice to see another British driver battling for wins, a future GR ace perhaps..

[Ginseng]

Ja....great...see, this is the real snapshot..i just mixed it up. And cruel thing is I would have won with this...

Guess its not worth to apply at the "drivers council" for reconsidering and mercy?

[Lukeno94]

Well, some problems around here and only one training. This time I can do better...

Could be worse: no time for training and forgetting to race. Sorry mate.

[RedlineM203]

Did my run at Xavelot. Wasn't that good.
Pit stop strategy went in ruins again after leaving just a frame or so too early like at Apasta last season and my best lap was one which included shunting the Yellow AI and almost losing control there.

[zsoltbartok]

Hello guys, congrats to all, it was a very close race for all of us. I am 4th again which is really good (I had some mistakes and didn't even expect top 5). But I'll have to work harder for my first podium.

@Buka: you mistook me for Masakari in your report... and it makes me really proud that you compared me to the fastest Hungarian driver! Thanks!

@Madd Dogg: A great start for Team Miskolc!

Hey Lukeno, you're The Boss . No problem.

[Haruna]

Xavelot is a very fast and long track, so AI should not be too big of a problem. However, the hairpin and the upper-left sweeper may pose problems for some drivers. As long as the momentum is maintained even through the hairpin curve, the winning speed should be anywhere from 139 to 143 km/h. I expect drivers to dip somewhere into the 17.0 - 17.8 second range for their fastest laps.
