@Jahgee Watching the race now, and two things. 1)I actually like the song. Bassy with a simple rhythm. Would make reeeally good menu music. 2) My rating ideas were radically different, but they still screw me over. pure balance doesn't work, and a weak crew kills all hopes and dreams apparently. Lap 38 has a great battle but I know my effort is for naught because there's no way the car will go 243 laps on one tank/set of tires.

1) I went with it because I'm a huge Dre and Snoop fan, and it made sense being in California :lol:, it's called The Next Episode if you'd like to hear the actual rapping
2) Your driver should benefit a lot from AI adjustment, as a car that starts in the front is more likely to stay in the front now as the cars are closer. As for your crew, even though there was 6 potential options based on the signup screen, I simplified it to where strategy is random between 0-100 and either Speed or Consistency is given a higher rating, sometimes the game just gives a car a lower pit speed that weekend then normal

It's whatever you decide. I'm too deep for it to matter anymore as by doing so you and harsk would also be up front more often, and as you both have had maybe one bad race thus far, I don't see anything other than you two at the top in either case.

I didn't invest in Qualifying at all really, and now that has become one of if not the most important stats someone can have, I think this will shake up the standings a lot, however I haven't tested enough to know who will come through

I'm making the Dodge ones, and @swiftsmith unless you already made one.

Ok, I actually have an idea for @G_Parrilla 's so if you haven't started on it, I'd like to send you a PM and see what you can do with it.
 
I had a brainwave for a car. I'll send it...tomorrow...if mother nature doesn't take a bulldozer to the region overnight. As far as the Ford camp is concerned, we had plenty of time so there's no excuses. @Jahgee I'm about to send you a preview of it privately, heads up.
 
@CSMDuty11 denies any false claims of unfair sportsmanship on Lap 3.

The only unfair sportmanship i did on that lap was that one crash, which was infact, instigated.
And maybe the one on lap 54, which got a bit out of hand for me, and didn't even pay off.
Despite my unfair sportsmanship, i still got third. And they say cheaters never prosper...
 
If any paint schemes are finished now, please just submit them to the album. You won't get the bonus starting position for Fasturd Enduro, but your car will look nice in the video
 
Going to rescind the lap down = retired rule for the endurances, now on only retired cars will be removed at the end of the segment

I guess I won't get a chance to use the Havoline scheme after all... Does this mean I have to whip something up just in case?

You can still use it, you just won't get the starting bonus at the beginning of the race. Feel free to whip something up if you want, it'll show up in the video it just won't be starting up front

I am kind of waiting for any response from Michelin, although my teammates don't really seem to care about that as much as I do... What's the absolute ultimate deadline for this livery biz again?
 
Just put me last fam. Endurance means I'll pick my way thru :sly:

At this point, there is none. I've made everyone an alternate car, and can import the paint schemes after the race is run, but the paint scheme will show up on the replay file when sent to @tbwhhs
 
After Fasturd Enduro, there is a tie for 1st in the points, at least one of which is not myself, @BKGlover or @Harsk100 :lol:, like I said this championship is far from over

See, Glover? You're doing well in this! And you thought Harsk was close to dominating the series entirely... Don't be silly, you still have a great chance, so don't waste it outright. I bet I am not nowhere near as close to the top as you are...

You have 1139 points, can't give you any more clues than that as to your performance :lol:

Oh man I have a thousand points after thirtheen races this is the best championship ever

But seriously, that many? I'd be impressed, but then again the top guys may have like 2000 or something... :lol:

Well technically it's after 13, as the 8th race is 4x as long and worth 5x points

Well yes, I didn't take that into account. Enduro races are great races to rack up points with that sort of "score multiplier"... If you don't just wreck five minutes in or something, that is. :lol:

No one didn't finish the first segment, but only 28 started the last segment

Well, at least more than half the field started the 2nd Strike (Street Fighter 3 reference eyyyy), so it's not as bad as it could've been...
 
To hype you guys up for Papyrus, it races like a superspeedway, yet it is a road course. First place in qualifying had 1:27.029, and last had 1:27.050. Needless to say, it's gonna be a great race.

What's left to do before the series fires up again?

I've got school right now, so no more races are being run for a couple weeks, but I did send @tbwhhs the replays and instrumentals for the Fasturd Enduro Endurance race before school started
 
I had some real life stuff get in the way. I should be able to put the finishing touches on the first couple parts and get them uploaded this weekend.

No sweat man. Glad you're still coming around, hope life has been sorted out and your OK.
