(PC) Broughcar Lando-Corp 101 (COMPLETE)

I have to thank you all multiple times.

First, thanks to redlaserbm for organizing a great and (atleast for me, first oval) unique event!

Thank you to everyone who was racing, it was a pleasure to battle, especially with positivetension and jeffreyb1990.

Thank you to everyone in the race lobby, for restarting a scheduled event!!!!! I am an idiot who forgot to put a tracker & insurance on a car he found on the street. Especially this has blown me away!

Thanks to everyone who searched for a new Ruiner! Thanks to .fiyah for giving me the one he found. (he was just near me when I joined his session)

This has been a great event. I am suprised that I got 9th, seeing as I had no practice at all and never drove the Ruiner. I was guessing a setup based on the track which I drove once in the Daily Playlist, on a RE-7B. I think it worked out quite well.

I'm hoping to be able to align future Broughcar Events into my calendar, this was really cool!

GG Gamerer, again ruined by safety cars, and my lack of actual strategy. but it was a fun race at the end, but the lack of self control at the end there ruined my concentration ability to race consistantly. and apologies to @zenvohh for the last laps my head was no where near in it.

We can always forget about the safety car rule and make it a demo derby race...

That would be fun

Nobody requested an investigation of the post-race results, so I assume everyone is okay with the results being declared official. In this case:



Congratulations to me, Grumples_Plox (grimreaper977) , and @zenvohh for placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively, and congratulations to grim, zenvohh and lewjen (smithyonetwelve) for winning the team championship!

Full results are available here

Race stats:
# of cars on the lead lap: 3
Margin of victory: 2.073 seconds
# of safety cars: I don't know you guys crash too much, maybe it was 5
Fastest lap: GalantEvo (A really fucking fast time)

I am thrilled you all had a lot of fun during this event, it always really fun bringing oval racing to the crew, this was a great opportunity to be exposed to a wholly different racing environment than what you're used to. Excepting the confusion and controversy that occurred with the first safety car everything went cleanly this time around. There seemed to be some confusion with the rules, I'm gonna see what I can do on my end to clear them up, but please read the OP more carefully next time and ask some questions if you're confused. Again the rules are designed to counter absurd scenarios that would otherwise occur without them, if you are wondering why a particular rule is in place, consider a scenario where it was not in place and you'll understand why the rule is there.

I'm unsure when to host the next one of these, the thread is already up for it but there's a poll up, vote in it, that'll decide when I host this thing. PM me track and car ideas if you have any, I'll consider it for December's event. Here's a thread on creating oval tracks if you need help with that.

Thx for hosting and for doing it on a friday so I could join, redlaserbm
I had a lot of fun battling with beta1hit, Prutoog and other people (can't remember everyone). I would gladly join another oval race

The whole field is pretty much scrambled on any given safety car for an event like this. To try and make the rules easy to follow for this series I figured just leaving the field scrambled instead of trying to unscramble it would be best; it can lead to odd scenarios such where the 2nd place car could actually restart at the end of the line, but this way I don't have to worry about moving people around.

..But late in the race when it comes down to a race between the front-runners it should be just the front-runners duking it out for the win. Hence the rule which places lead lap cars at the front of the field for restarts after blue flag deployments begin. Again to try and make it so I don't have to move too many people around this rule is limited to just the front runners--I suspect the confusion in your case regarding where to restart stemmed from the fact the three cars ahead of you in place were permitted to restart at the front, but you were not.

As silly as it sounds if I were to do this, I feel a quick flow chart of sorts on when you can and can't pass under a safety car would sort out confusion for future events. Even months after the first event this has proven to be a huge learning experience every time as far as trying to host this without something going wrong, that's a probably a consequence of lack of exposure of the crew to oval racing in general though.
