Yeah, we discussed that. Not sure what is best, but the tie breaker for who is in the lead is who did the best in the most recent race. Which makes you technically in the lead despite having the same points, since you have that "advantage" you get the larger HC.
Certainly something that might still need discussion, but that is what we figured on the fly.
Ok, that reasoning makes sense. I think the new HC system seems to be working as intended. Have we decided how many races this series will be?
Probably depends mostly on what we decide on for the next series. Normally we run 8 or 10, but 6 could work also...
We cut the Fiero series short at 6. I want to te visit that car again. Maybe up the power a bit more.

Results and Standings: The second drop kicks in, and Sauce gets a big boost (he's won every race he has been in, and skipped 2). The HC for Sauce also kicks in, so we will see! Can Darwin catch up? Racebrick, Drillin, Rodan and Gameboy are not that far behind either!

2nd race may have finished - timed out before my last lap, but thought my finish was 10th in the second race. Thanks for posting as always. Fun race. A long chase and some mutual passing.
In reply to moto914 :
OK, I will take a look at the replay finish order.
You are in a very close standings race with Gunner. We certainly don't want to give him an undeserved points!
In reply to aircooled :
LOL, that'd be ok, he's doing a great job earning his points keeping up with you guys!
Thats weird because Moto was ahead of me in the 2nd race at the finish. I wonder if during all the passing back and forth he missed a track marker that punted him to last or something. We passed each other back and forth 4 or 5 times. That may in fact be the case because I did cross the finish line and it ended when I did. Or so I recall. I think the finishing order for the first race is correct though.
We are going to have to look at the drops and if that gives people that miss races early an advantage. It is kind of gaming the system early on but if we run it out to 10 races then it should even out. If we end it early is it an advantage.
On the other hand if you make all the races there should be some sort of reward for that.
Air you got any ideas?
I think it's a matter of when the drops take effect. Clearly you don't want them hitting on the last race and probably at least two races before. I should probably not include the first drop until race 3 (you would still have the full amount of allowed drops no matter when you started though)
If we go to higher hp cars I may go back to the points X 2 equals the HC applied to the cars. That seemed to keep things tighter or I need to up the HC points for the position in the points.
In short I am still learning. With the fixed HC for points position the cumulative effect is lost.
I just learned that R246 is actually based on real roads in Tokyo. I always thought it was a made up track. This is so cool !!!!
I have already picked the track after this week's track. It is in the track folder for season 17 AKA Summit Point!!!
I was testing it and these cars are good at it. We have run there before so you all should ahve the track already.
ALSO people need to get some practice in on this week's track. While it is a classic from GT it is tricky to get right and lots can go wrong. The walls will jump out and get you.
Yeah, I thought it was based on a real place. Obviously not a track. I do like the Skyline that shows up early in the video.
Catching up on replays. Here is 2w ago. Dean has a special intro on this one... but I am suspicious... it doesn't sound like him...
lol. Did I do an intro? I don't remember. I think I had other things to tend to.
I will have the intro for R246 done tonight. I learned a bunch about that track.
Results and Standings. A bit of a runaway for Sauce. 2nd through 6 are still pretty close though.
This is why I think the Sauce rule is probibly needed. It is also why the 2x your points is you KG HC system I think may work better.
I have an idea on how to kind of merge the systems for the HC. We can discuss this week.
Air mentioned that the HC system was based on a 6 race series, since we've gone past that I'm willing to take on extra for the next race.
