25th race winner of ZakStunts

[alanrotoi]

Who or when will be? Nobody knows but here is a review of the largest gaps between new race winners. Today we are in the 3rd largest gap ever in zakstunts history. You could say that's bad but not THAT bad. Check the numbers:

• 45 races (Friker 137-182 Marco) December 2012 September 2016 almost 4 years
• 42 races (Duplode 94-136 SuperBrian) 3 years and a half
• 25 races (Seeker1982 225-today) 2 years and 1 month
• 21 races (dreadnaut 194-215 Overdrijf) almost 2 years
• 20 races (Mark L. Rivers 74-94 Duplode) almost 2 years

The top 2 gaps are way larger than the rest.

Also, CERV III became the 27th car winner in Zakstunts. The only cars didn't have a single win yet are Mercedes DTM (no chances this year) and Stratos (still 6 races to go).

• 36 races (Seeker1982 225-today) 3 years

The top 2 gaps are way larger than the rest.

They're also back to back, or rather not back to back but in the most back to back way possible.

As for the who: Frieshansen would be my first pick. But both he and Erik Barros have a weakness: they're in a team with someone who will almost almost beat them if they're racing with the same ideas and strategy. That's great for learning a lot (not to mention that it's just nice to talk racing with some buddies) but it could raise the bar for grabbing them a race win. So it could be a dark horse. Maybe even Zak.

My first pick would be @KyLiE, who I think is really talented. Recall the results from the NoRH race! However, if he wants to win a race, he really has to go for it and commit the time that is necessary.

Kylie hasn't won a race yet? Probably just too busy with being awesome at live events...

So it's tied for second longest now? But maybe now that Argammon has secured first place for the season?
