Hometown on Szilvi, with the new Melange XGT-88... ;)
This one will be a special race. As you can see on the map, the finish line is in a separated section, like a small pit in F1. It's also visible that you have 3 different ways. Task will be the following: you have to complete all the three ways without way switching (not three replays, only one - like ZCT Plus 3 in 2002, just with 3 different lines, 6 different combinations ;)), but you can decide about the order. Will be kind of fun with Melange... ;)

Nice!
That does look like fun!
And the track...
Track: Veresegyház
Designer: CTG
Car: Melange XGT-88 (yes, the old one...)
Difficulty: 3/5
Predicted winning time: 1:30.00
Deadline: 10th May 2009, midnight
Wow, champ is already pushing! :)
And since that nothing... :-\
You can blame only yourself: your competition management forced Argammon, Mark, Renato and me to leave and maybe many others not to enter.
The track is good anyway, what a shame you won't have enough pipsqueaks.

Mark set up a truce and returned later on, though, and scored a brilliant victory at Dobsina before retiring...
As for me, I think I'll wait a few days before staring to race this seriously, so you will only see me closer to the deadline. But maybe not :)

Hometown on Szilvi
Alice, Alice, who the skid is... Szilvi? ;D Poor girl, there's a whole town on her! :P :D
So, anybody else joined? I'm currently on light racing mode, so I only have 1/3 laps on my current shot.

The same for me. Chulk promised something fast after Szerencs...
I'm working on it, be patient.

Great! What about others?
As Melange is one of my favorite cars, I'm going to fight to the end. Prestige match with Duplode and Bonzai Joe. ;)
I`ve driven a bit yesterday, but Internet was/is off at home and I didn`t think to bring the file in a pendrive. You`ll see it soon, though ;)

I just started a new replay too... ;)
Damn, no time to update now, gotta catch the train... :-\
Super Brian 1:50.15
Duplode 1:37.40
Only now I paid attention on how Melange likes to take corners with a lot of lateral roll, almost on two wheels when closing to the limit. It is so cool :)
Damn, I have only 85 minutes to improve from 1:39... Duplode at 1:30.50 anyway.
I won't have enough time to finish a really strong lap... :-\
1.30.50 ... damn fast!
A bit of last-minute scramble for me also...

I'm patient but there are only 6 minutes left. ::)
Duplode is a lucky guy: I was so close to his time, having an improved finish part but then the battery said: GAME OVER, computer switched off automatically, losing that improvement without saving... >:( You can imagine how demotivated I felt after that. :-\
I'm sure analysis will show, how bad is my last round without that improvement...
Update: early afternoon, I have some real life work at the moment and already wasted a lot for catching Duplode without success.
Chulk: I hope only my mailing system sucks and you made a replay...
It's quite late now in Argentina so I think Chulk didn't just forget to send in any replays. Official results without him will be published soon... :-\
But you did get my replay?

No, I didn't get your 1:33.95. ;D
(Of course I did)

I was totally right: check the section times of the four pipsqueaks choosing the same way.
Wow, close race between you two! I thought I was fast on the first two laps... Looking forward to your replay.
Site updated.
Well, well, well! first of all, it seems I will not achieve more season points than CTG. That is not exactly unexpected - after wasting my real chances to reduce the gap (Szerencs and specially Parkany) I didn't hope for a miraculous result in the Melange round... on the other hand, I am still extremely pleased by the result as it allows me, at the very least, to claim the "Bernie Ecclestone Award" (most wins in a season), thus lending some extra weight to my season victory, and also because it is my first RH victory with an IMSA car (okay, so the circumstances were slightly extraordinary, but I never expected to beat CTG with Melange under normal circumstances anyway ;)). Now let's see how the head-to-head record will end... :)
It looks a bit hard because it's not even enough if I manage to squeeze into 2nd place between you and CTG on the last track. I think we'll have to call in Mark L. Rivers to finish 0.05 behind you and then I'll finish 0.10 behind and we'll distract CTG with beer and 16-year old girls :D

Give me a 16 years old virgin and I'll leave out this race. ;D
Nice conspiracy plot anyway! Too bad we have this time bonus thing that gives me more space... ;)
Sorry! I had a problem with my PC (again) because my sister updated MSN Messenger and my brother then installed Messenger Plus. That's wouldn't have been a problem if a blue screen and an inmediate re-boot didn't happen everytime I run something on the PC. So I spent from Friday until now to fix it, no chances to race or say I couldn't...
