And this time I drove like a "bird"... through flying over the kerbs every lap. Disaster...

But the championship is so close! FogoRJ (62), Alonso (59), Akouk (56)

In practice I enjoyed the track a lot but then in the race I didn't find the rhythm at all and had problems with the AI. As result, my race was slower than any of my practice runs.

After a bad start (I lost maybe 3-4 seconds with the AIs) I had quite a good race. Not expecting a lot, though.

About 7 hours before the deadline, following 11 people have sent me their races: Alonso, FogoRJ, Scaramanga, Bird, Happy412, TuomoH, Reh, myself, majortom, akouk and kuba
Don't forget to submit your races!

My race was not good either; especially for the race the AI changed their pit tactiks which caused some irregularity

Just for your information, bgcatfan has joined the racing fun. Let's hope he can still do his race at Road Atlanta

And now I start training. No promises for a good race.

I've got problems with login.

It says me:

Sorry for the issues, I have fixed it, I hope all of you have still got time to make your races. I just forgot one character in PHP
If anyone has taken a disadvantage from that and couldn't make his race, you can still do your race until tomorrow 16:00 GMT. Sorry again for the troubles.

Thanks, I needed 30 minutes of extra time. I had a little AI trouble, but having only trained and raced in one day I feel really happy

It's ok. Just did my race. Some minor troubles, but in general much better race than my previous one. Hope for some more points.

Alright, the results of round 5 Road Atlanta are here! The two top guys drive in another class, just watch the replays The team champ has been yet decided, but there is close competition for the driver's cup. Not only the current leader can lose his position, there's going to be very hard competition for the 4th place...
Now it's time to login for R6, a thirteen-lap race at Lost Heaven. Please be careful not to wallbounce

Didn't have time to race in the previous round, but should oefully get to run in the final round (not that it makes much differenc if I race or not )

You still haven't fix my total score. I'm not sure that I won't have to remind you again

Sorry, I forgot about that Results updated.

BTW any notes about limits for cutting in the chicane in top-middle, please?

No cutting rules - you can cut as much as you want Drive over grass/kerb/sand/whatever you like

Just a quick note, one driver can't do his race in the deadline, so I decided to extend the deadline by one day (now it's 10th Dec 2012 24:00 GMT)

So, that's it! Here you can go to the results page to see the results of R6, but you should really watch the replays of Lost Heaven first!

Congrats to...

FogoRJ
Alonso
akouk

Congrats to all drivers who have scored some points

I hope you all enjoyed the championship And I apologise for the mistakes I made, after all it was my first competition


I would like to hear your opinions about these two things: (a) can there be something improved for future competitions? If yes, what? (b) would you participate in a second season, in case I'm going to make one? And what about the track choice?

AI setup can be improved. In some races (like last round) I spent lot of time in a limbo, no AI around, so had easy ride. On contrary if would be bit slower or faster, I'd stuck between them and lost much time, so the distribution of AI troubles wasn't spread among drivers equally or progressively (with highest amount of overtaking to fastest drivers to lowest for slowest). I think the narrow window of of AI setup is the guilty.

And I can imagine longer races (up to 20 km), if 2 stops would necessary again, the stints weren't very long. And final suggestion, if deadline not on Sunday but on Saturday, you'll possibly have a part weekend for work on results, so may come a bit earlier.

Anyway, it was very good compo!

Congrats to fastest drivers, especially to the champion!

Yeahh My second victory on this track (first was in computer game MAFIA)
Congrats to FogoRJ
Deserved title!(6 rounds and 5 fastest laps)Well done
Thanks to XYY for organizing such great competition.

Agreed, really nice combination. I would like to make another season somewhen in future.

Congratulations to the winners!

sorry I have not ridden but now I do not have the motivation to GR:(

Thanks to XYY for this great compo.

Congrats to the top 3 for outstanding performance, especially to teammate akouk.
No chance this time for Magenta Motors to beat Croatia Racing.
Anyway - great fun!


Finally congrats to TuomoH for snapping place 4

Looking for Season 2 ...
