I am actually surprised by how well mine is doing....... so close yet so far.

I knew I wouldn't do as well at Hockeinheim, but damn. It close though!

Yay! I'm remaining consistent and actually scarily competitive! This is looking good. Triple fifth places so far. Makes me wonder if I've been playing bumper karts with people to aggressively maintain my 5th place standing.

Here are the results of the Hockenheimring GP! The Hydra strikes again!






Also, the battle for number 1 could not be closer, as Strop and Niall are tied before the last race!

Well strop I knew it would be close this time, but I didn't expect it to come down to the wire like this! You have a excellent car there and it's clearly been superior to mine on the last 2 tracks, best of luck to you here on the last race.

I am hoping for a podium finish but conan is right on my tail. Also noticed the lap time spread in this race is much larger than the others This really DOES feel like Mario Kart when looking at the times and scores. And Strop, I think you were right about my little box

Ouch. That ruined my perfect record of 5's the whole way. Sixth place... Still, I'm consistent, still 5th overall.

Looks like I'm still hanging on with 7th and 8th place at this rate. Still consistent with 7th spot though.

Nice one guys. Good competition

Indeed, I feel the championship will be determined by mere tenths, if not hundredths. I hoped for a good cliffhanger, and it looks like we have one! Whose machine will reign supreme, the drivability of AWD and NA, or the speed and top end acceleration of the turbo?

That said I think Tom went even more turbo than I did, seeing how he actually topped the charts in the last two races. I wouldn't be surprised if he topped the last race too. Strangely enough, though, had I pushed any more turbo than I did, I would likely dropped another place either or both the first two races and that could have already sealed the deal!

Tuning this car, I learned that more power isn't always for the best, it'll only make your car faster if the rest of the car can handle the extra power. I remember at one point of the development, I richened the fuel mixture from 12.0 all the way to 10.0 and increased the compression accordingly, giving me overall about 50hp more. But it made the car significantly slower around the track, despite being more powerful and more responsive. So I toned the two things down again. Now it's an absolute animal around most tracks. You wouldn't believe how fast it actually does the Nordschleife!

...There might be a upset in the numbers, waiting for confirmation...

Nope, I can confirm that the times posted are all accurate.

Well I guess the car I sent you and the car that loads on mine are different and I like that you have the faster of the two.

I have no control over that, unfortunately. Anyway, here are the results of the last race, as well as the final scores:










Congratulations to Strop for winning this tournament! It's been a close one for sure! Thanks everyone for participating
