Christmas Cup 2014

[CTG]

Sorry, I just couldn't find the time to race. The online course I was talking online for work have some navigator platform problems and everything had to be done in a rush during the past week. Final exam got changed to last Friday (it was supposed to be next Friday) and, to make things complete, I got a stallin lot of work to do before next Wednesday. I am really, really sorry as I've been wanting to come back to racing regularly since a few months (Alan knows, we've talked about it).

Too bad.

[CTG]

Dreadnaut will be out?

[BonzaiJoe]

Oh, the deadline is only today  I was sure it was yesterday. Was wondering why you weren't posting results.

It was 7th December, midnight. The race is over.

[BonzaiJoe]

Yes. It seems dreadnaut is out and dstien is in. I'll pick a track or car for you and me tomorrow.

[CTG]

I'll pick a track or car for you and me tomorrow.

Great! I have a nice choice for both cases.

So, results of the quarter-finals (site update in the evening):
DUPLODE - Afullo
Dreadnaut - DSTIEN
CTG - Chulk
AbuRaf70 - BONZAI JOE

Semi-final duels:

Iceland, Millgame and Teardrop tracks are out.
Car of DUP-DST semi-final cannot be F40 and Acura, while Corvette and Jaguar are excluded from the CTG-BZJ battle.

Please make your selection today or tomorrow.

One more question: would you like to have a bronze match? (please vote in the poll above)

[dstien]

Duplode (#2) - Dstien (#6), Dstien can choose first

With assistance from random.org, my choice fell on the track Left. Fasten your seat belt, Duplode.

[CTG]

Poll: I guess dstien voted yes (me too), while BJ said no. DUP?

[BonzaiJoe]

I'm choosing the track: Bored.

[CTG]

I'm choosing the track: Bored.

Quite a quick selection, thank you!

I guess LAMBORGHINI LM-002 will make Bored track even more boring.

[BonzaiJoe]

You know me so well 

[CTG]

You know me so well 

I've chosen LM002, because:

- it's a pretty boring car, staying mainly on the ground - so corner speed is the key instead of stupid aerial Stunts and magic carpets
- we gave more or less the same score in 'Car ratings' (BZJ 6/10, CTG 5.5)
- I have to spare Melange/P962 for the final (kidding, you will win this duel)

However, I still give 60% for your victory.

[CTG]

First step (57.40)

[BonzaiJoe]

I'm not complaining about the car choice and I'll do what I can :-) But I've said many times that it's my least favourite car (although that may have been before the Melange was created ;-)).

Sorry, I heard the deadline whooshing by, but I was doing stuff all yesterday and didn't find time to race :|   Anyway, nice lap from Dstien! Have fun with the rest of the competition
