Looks good. Kind of the same style as cactus I think.

You have even to be the best winner, in order to tie 15-15...
Looks like things are already pretty tight! For the sake of honour, I'll do my best on this round, like I did on every other XD

That's why I said win the round and not only the duel.
Ok, I confused round with duel...
Opening with a 46.25
I finally found the time to post a lap on my own track! 1:03.50
I haven't had much time since this week I started with my new job and I'm still getting used to it.

Quote from: alanrotoiCongrats! Where are you working?
Thanks! I'm going to do UNIX server patching for DXC, the most serious job I've got so far, when I least expected it. Of course, I'm not very skilled right now. I need to be trained.

wtf?? look at this ;D
It's not the ideal racing line.
Hahaha no, but I didn't crashed the car! That was surprising. After that picture the car is still in one piece :D There were working several bugs in that moment ;D
Damn. Driving in powergear is freakin hard.... ::)
I have a hard time finding time to race. Running extra shifts at work this weekend.
48:05
Nice track! Let's start with 49"40 :D
Ha, ha... nice you're enjoying my track. I'm not very good at exploiting PG either, but I wanted to make the track fun to race on :)

Since it would affect the final rankings between you and Alan, I cannot accept this late replay. Sorry!
That's alright, that is the outcome I expected. Even if you had made an exception, I would have insisted otherwise knowing that it would change the final ranking.

Actually you'll be more affected because he'll take your second place. I guess...
8) nothing can affect me 8)
What wend wrong Kylie? You where so close to second place...
I actually recorded my replay on 15/4/2021. Since I thought I had a competitive time and I knew that I wouldn't get the chance for another attempt, I was waiting until the last few hours before posting. Unfortunately, real life got in the way and my plan backfired. :(

Wrong. If we accept KyLiE's replay, I'll become the fastest loser (+1 pt).

Oh I forgot that rule... I don't like it anyways.
BTW it was an excellent track plus indy car it turned maybe in my favourite of the competition.
Both Alan and I missed the deadline on one race. The final result is more than fair.

Since we are here with an unfair episode the final result isn't fair. I didn't missed the previous deadline. I'm not arguing about it just to make it clear. I accept the final result. Also I'm surprised that Kylie didn't took the 3rd place that clearly deserved it. Sorry again for my basic enligh skills :D

Thank you for your participation & congratulations to Duplode for winning USL2021 with such a huge difference!
Whoohoo! I'm the unskilled champion.. 8)
Congrats Dup!
Congratulations Duplode! Also, thank you CTG for hosting the championship. :)
Indeed! Congratulations to Duplode, and thank you for getting USL back in action CTG! 🎉
Congratulations, Duplode! And it's been a pleasure to participate in USL! I started my new job, thus, I was pretty busy in the last weeks, but I think if I had had more time, I would've still ended up in the same position XD
Thanks everyone! It's always great to race at USL!
