Hi Googol...How long, welcome back my friend and good luck!
:bg:

This championship is really fantastic, 27 inscriptions with many gold-class drivers and with three "monsters" that are platinum-class. I'm very very happy to be part of it...GOOD LUCK TO ALL and see you on the track. :goodvibes:

I will give the best to join the fight between platinum knights :D

(edited because I forgot, Kuba is platinum-class too...sorry) :sweatdrop:

So, the plan is to publish results shortly after midnight, Warsaw time: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

If anyone start race I'll wait and then verify attempt and publish results. Replay will be about 5 minutes after results on the website and then I'll post information about it here, in topic.

6 hours to go.

So, the results are online with replays (I encourage you to watch them without knowing the results).

Top 6 drivers, in case you wonder if it's worth to watch replay of top 6 (alphabetical order):
ACM, Alonso, Hermes, kuba, maclape, Michel
Congratulations to the winner and the podium and have a good night!

I cringe after seeing my _bad_ result, really... :(

Edit: Now I see why. Not only I did score bad laps, but also was I not having a fast pace, I even made a mistake at the last lap which cost me my supposedly higher placement.

All in all, congratulations to ACM for his fast lap and a WIN in the race! Team [R]GARAGE has never tasted a win before so yeah! Sad that I didn't consult you like the first round, talk about my over-confidence...

Edit 2: Somehow I kept thinking about "Dani Pedrosa" at the moment... He's a main man in the Repsol Honda team throughout his MotoGP career, yet his teammates got the better of him in his years, like Casey Stoner and Marc Marquez... I had to step up my game then, but not forgetting to strengthen the bond between me and my teammate next time.

If you've seen my venting before this post is edited again, I am very sorry if I sparked a negative aura here.

Well, did not take part not because I forgot, but because of work at our garden :( I had to mow it and we have big garden.

I was more confident this time, I felt better the "dry lake" track and finally I made my first point in this competition! :goodvibes:
congrats to ACM, really impressive drive! and also to kuba, for a very smooth and friendly login system/site :up:

edit: kuba, perhaps in the results there's a little problem with the times between 11th and 16th position?

Silly me, I forgot about time penalties when sorting times. It's fixed now.

Maybe a little off topic, but I have to praise the site design of yours, kuba. Someday if I were to make a login competition, I could use your system for sending files without having to open an e-mail client. Really useful design.

I'm interested in PHP coding btw :shh:

Results are online, replays as well.
Spaniard maclape made the fastest lap in second event at Laguna Seca. He was faster by 0.03 seconds than Hermes and 0.17 than ACM. Only podium drivers managed to beat 19 seconds barrier.

Winning of maclape means no Hat-trick for ACM at Laguna Seca. But who will win the round? Timetrial is to decide.
See you tomorrow during the results of timetrial.

Results are online with replays.
WIth a margin of 0.39 seconds ACM wins in front of second maclape and third Hermes, who is 0.08 seconds behind.

Others follow without surprises: Michel, kuba, Alonso, JHvp, Googol, Lee and Herbal completes point positions
Thank you for participating, I hope you enjoyed racing at Laguna Leca. See you soon (?).

I lost HL...:mad: My final lap was perfect but I touched the wall and with this I lost few centiseconds that cost the victory.
In TT the fight for the victory was magnificent!!! :clap:

Congratulations friends...congratulations ACM for the title :bg: and see you all on the tracks.

Oh man! A closer round could not have been orchestrated with tension-expanding Hollywood editing: both race and time trial I only snatch on the last few laps!?—with the 'second act' hot lap leaving a sense of "to be concluded".

In the end I have to consider myself lucky: I had a worse driving line, and it's only through maclape making more mistakes than I that I was allowed to get ahead.

But the best part is that you've become a winner for this round, and that I'm pleased to have you on my team. My run was disappointing on the other hand, I was over-confident and there you see how I fared :lol:

Still, I should've communicate with you more often next time. You've got one of the best paces and am looking forward to be competing together again at the next round :)

Once again, congrats ACM! Good race to everyone too!
