Nice stats, once again power. Tyty!
my race:
Well deserved race winner, grats to Tijny!
Once again I could have chosen a more rough defending line in U turn 2 - which Tijny kinda did on the 2nd steer after U turn 3 - just driving in front of me as long as there is the space - instead of slowing down and driving side by side with me. Tijnys pace was impressive. It made me push harder, but I still chose a questionable slow ish line in 2 curves in the middle part over the whole race, kind of. And U turn 2 I missed the apex so often, it's ridiculous. At least I'venot been offroad a lot - especially with the fast right-curve (3rd last curve) in this track: that feels like quite an accomplishment, going offroad there only once slightly, I think.
Funniest moment in the race: T and me go offroad for exactly 2.28sec in the same curve in lap 15. I was suddenly close to him again and felt pressured to push harder somehow. The very next curve I go offroad, kinda feeling it's gonna happen - but sometimes you take these kinda curves like a dying swan and just hope to make it. Tijny had a 2.3sec lead or so and we both lost around 3 seconds in that black out of us. That was my chance, right there
...but I failed - that's allright
When having a funny sandwich moment lapping
Lewy and someone else, I lost quite some time to Tijny at some point. He decided to slow down on a straight to restore the gap again (and even accidently gave me a little bonus) - cool move! I didn't see it in the race (only in the replay), but I had a slight feeling that he did it. Although overlapping in a way to lose no time or maybe even win time is sometimes influenced highly by skill. But sometimes your influence is reduced to a tiny minimum and then you feel glad if you get a present by a sportsman that makes the race more exciting again.
Lovely again to see I am pitting very well in average. But on the other side, Tijny lost around 3 seconds in pit vs me. Making his win look even more deserved. The 1.7 sec lead in the end might look closer than the skill difference was. +-7 sec lead (~0.175sec/lap) with a decent pitting would have been appropriate, maybe.
@all, but mainly trackmakers
T, Whip and Silva:
These damaging race starts really make me think back to that AntiSlider league when Mouse was still around, I think. Tracks had those mid placed grids which were that far from each other that a first curve chaos was basically eliminated. It makes a lazy (dare i say?) "trackmaker" like me think about creating an f1 track. If there is still chance to replace Ziggy, Flakemoore and Circly in this season with other tracks, I'd think about creating some. Else, I'd like to ask if the trackmakers would think about creating slightly new versions of their tracks with more "curve 1 friendly" grids. I wouldn't even bother if it would be done for Elemterekejfe as well. It's only monday yet...
@all
always a bit curious which players are improving, had a good day or a bad one compared to the races before in the season.
here a bit of an overview for last race:
significant fails:
Silva - 31 pts only this time after a 33 pts race and 2 missed races, Silva is far away from what his skill promises, I think
significant records:
Azev: 32, 29, 33 and now 38 points (place 5!) congratulations!
...I can still remember a qualification race I had trouble beating your solid mid fast pace. Well done!
Ayrton: "good potential" or something I heard myself saying in the qualification. 24, 22 and now 27 points (with just 17 players though)
Kid Masters: 2 missed races, then 24 and now 36 points (place 6!) - did not feel usual seeing Kid up that high. Looking at his last season, this result must have been quite satisfying, wasn't it?
), and I have to admit that, despite being a good track, after the madness of first laps, and more accurately everyone's 1st stint, things got kinda static.
