Car premiere in May... ;)
The track is ready - the car isn't. Weird situation. :D
Give us the track without the car for the moment! ;D

That would lead to misunderstandings. Since I know that my next few weeks will be extremely busy again (and I still have the screen flickering thing, which seems to be more and more a health issue instead of a technical one), the Subaru project is quite hopeless. Maybe I'll change the car to Corvette or Acura.
Acura would be fun, I haven't used that car enough!
I think it's time: give us the track and tell us what to drive. We'll take it from there 8)

As you wish...
The car: Acura NSX.
Test lap.
Here's my first replay! It's a fun track, and there's probably quite a few tricks to discover :)
End date?
p.s. And thanks for starting the race, of course!
Primer replay de El Paso
A bit better.
Same here.
I'm sure someone will come up with a great transition at the last cork l/r. Pity I can't helicopter my way around (see ZCT136).
Hmmm...
Come on! I was going to make cake, and now I have to race more :-p

Once I'll have to start a new lap with manual gears.
A weak mediorce manual try. :D
I have even more to catch up now :D
No new replay yet though, I reordered my priorities today, see attachment.
It's a carrot cake (http://www.cakebaker.co.uk/MakingThePerfectCarrotCake.html)!

:o
A carrot cake can never be perfect. Because of the carrot. :D
(I don't like cakes anyway.)
I usually don't appreciate carrots, but they are fine in here. The whole thing is more on the cinammon/vanilla side anyway.
Otro replay de El Paso
Sorry pal, Monday came back full force. But don't despair, I'm on it! 8)

Great. I want to give you some bonus points. For example 2. :D
Nuevo replay de El Paso
I'm shocked! :o Nice lap, AbuRaf!
ABU is of course second, PTB table will be updated as soon as I arrive at home (in the evening).
Not much faster, but finally a satisfying transition :D
Nuevo replay de El Paso. Saludos.
PTB standings (207 hours before deadline):
ABU - 169 hours (+2)
DRE - 132 hours (+1)
CTG - 282 hours (+2)
Duplode doesn't really care about bonus points...
Aqui va otro replay de El Paso. Saludos.
A late night ride. Unfortunately (for me, that is!) it seems I went too far in getting the final third of a mediocre lap right...
update in the evening
I just realized that Duplode is only 4th at the moment... :o

update in the evening
Sorry, I had some urgent tasks last evening.
Last minute as usual ;D
One day left... :D
Hahahah, I was convinced the deadline was on the 7th ::)
Now go and update that website!
done
70%, that I won't improve. Not the usual crying, but I started to drink - so maybe I'll give a try without success. :D

Multiplied by the 30% probability that I'll work on it more and improve the result, gives a 21% chance of me winning the race. So, right now I'm getting 6.42 potential points, great!

Somebody forgot about Duplode... :D
Bayes, probably.
Bah... that's a crap.
Another one.
I have already corrected the obvious mistake in my initial lap. If I can reproduce the difficult line at ~1:00 within a few minutes I will improve my time...

Done!
Damn, it was quick! ;D
So, I have to improve... Won't be easy! ;D
Or impossible.

Double and single 'D's: come on!
It nice to see they are both working on something new.
Well done Duplode! That's the cool transition I knew was possible!
Oh, a normal start would give you -2s though, that weird cork-jump is counter-productive.

Dreadnaut has something better...
Or I don't want to win ;D
Uhm, religion!
How long shall I hide the final lap?
Just go for it, so I can desperately rush to catch up in the last 35 minutes.

I never believe in the opponents' statements.
You should however understand, after half a season, how fast I can drive compared to you.

Btw instead of predicting the hidden replays, why don't we race? :D
If I get better is because I get to race with you people here and the Fleas, but there's a long way before I can get good results :)
Anyway, I *am* still racing :)

It looks like you are POSTING.
both 8)
No, you beat DD!
Although... well... maybe he won't appear tonight.
But first, I should overtake him.
There, a few hundreths of second better.
Here it comes... nothing special. Just a slightly better 180° turn.
TIME IS UP!

Hahahahah "slightly better", yeah :) Is it recent, or have you had it there for long?
Very good cornering at the beginning too!

It was made in the afternoon.
Now I get the tip, I see ;)
Nice finish after all :)

LOL... thankfully ~3.5s wouldn't cover the gap to CTG, which makes it less embarrassing :D
The turn was pure luck. Quite a rare thing in my racing history... :)
Analysis (ouch, Damascus too...) and some additional update is coming in the evening.
