RACE Sharpie Fantasy Series - Thanks for participating, see you next season

So, for the Indy 500, in theory it is possible to get 300 points , and it's possible for you to get as little as 6

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Yes, a full race.

Every 40 laps will count as their own race, you don't receive points if you crash out and you start at the back for the next "race". If you go down laps during a "race", your points are multiplied by the amount of laps you competed over 40. The cars running will invert in order at the end of each race. The last "race" will count as double.

God damm, son! I actually thought about this race being an endurance race of sorts, and I guess I wasn't far off... A very interesting concept, you could reap big rewards or fail completely. You are truly a crazy genius, Mr. Jahgee.

Having tested the ini I plan on using, the race will average about 200 MPH. So it will be a long video for sure

Oh boy, if I thought the previous races made for long videos... Then I'll have to spare a whole weekend just for the Indy 500.

Freeway balances it out , 9 laps at 3:30 per lap makes it way shorter

Wow, that reminds me of the videogame "Mashed" for some reason, now we're really going back to the roots of NASCAR with that one... Will we be transporting moonshine as well?

I just thought they were funny, and we could have the first 1 lap race in RACE B-Spec history

Hum, but which one? The 'Murican highway would be a great hommage to ye ol'moonshine days, but as an European, racing next to the god damm Particle Collider would be awesome... Heck, I think I'll pick the Euro track.

To be honest, I really want to see one race at HWY 52.

American one would be a 1 lap race, the Hadron Collider would be 3 or 4 laps

Now those would be some quick races... Or not. But hey, they would be a refreshing change from all the ovals and road courses, right? I dig these "fictional in realistic settings" tracks, they are an interesting idea to implement in racing games.

So how many people will actually download the file I put up with everything I used this season

Well, I don't really have NR2003 so far, nor I'm sure if I'll ever be interested in having it installed. So I guess that for now, you should keep my name off the list.

I thought we'd actually be racing in the LHC tunnel, but I realize that'd probably not be possible and if one of us crashed into the collider we'd probably create a black hole.
Moonshine highway, I guess?

My summation of this series, in two pictures:

WHERE THE F IS ANYONE EDIT:

Can I get input on the latest decal added to my growing library?

That looks nice, maybe a little faded but nice regardless

Also, to put things in perspective. The biggest NR2003 tracks I've seen are around 20MB, Highway 52 & the Hadrian Collider are each 58MB

@tbwhhs called it

So we went from one pencil company sponsor to a crayon one. Not much of a difference there, really.

There's only so many sponsors that do different colors like Sharpie or Crayola

What about Play-Doh? They have a good color selection...

A good idea, but Jahgee probably wants to stick to pencil companies. Why not these guys, for example?

My goal next season is for 20 races in the season

I forgot to announce that @RACECAR will be making the base livery this season.

Only fair, considering all the work he did with the 2015 'Stang livery, congrats man. 👍

 

[BKGlover]

@RACECAR making the S2 livery? Got any ideas on what to base it on man?

@Jahgee1124 suggestion noted and after some quick fidgeting, here's V2.

That is much better.

I gave him a general idea that I would like, besides that he has full creative control.

one of the tracks I'm testing it only takes the leaders 5 laps to lap the guy in last in a full 42 car field

Welp, that's a thing that happened... Must be a short track. Either that or the A.I. is way too quick, I dunno.
