Congratulations @Cas ! Great track, memorable race, and it's heartwarming to see the GTO race take the title  The most unexpected rating for me was ZCT267, which was in my personal top 3 -- I guess that, without Akoss on the calendar this time, there nonetheless had to be some track in which I'd be sharply at odds with the average...

Wow!  There had been a lot of talk about my track at that time as regards it allowing PG with the Ferrari, so I'm surprised it reached the top. Seems it was fun to race anyway!

I've been taking a look at the different tracks and it's curious how the average scores are completely different from my scoring of each track, so I understand Duplode's surprise

I've loved many of this season's tracks, but Crazy Valley was most memorable for me. I learnt a lot of new skills there, and saw some very creative solutions from others.
