Title: WhoopAss GP Season 3 - Round 1 = DONE. Post by: rip|buzinator on July 25, 2008, 08:23:37 AM I hope everybody (Dude?) is aware that Season 3 starts today.
First up ... Friday, July 25th 2008 @ 9PM EDT WA-R GP S3 R1 Formula 1000 Nurburgring Sprint 15 Laps Damage OFF Collisions FULL Assists ON Clean Racing - let's try and get through the 1st lap without any incidents, OK? Stay loose. Title: WhoopAss GP Season 3 - Round 1 = DONE. Post by: rip|ChITty on July 25, 2008, 11:49:52 AM The first race of the season with a 180ish degree right hander? There's no way this isn't going to be ugly! 8O
Title: Starting Order Post by: rip|buzinator on July 25, 2008, 12:03:28 PM Until GRID provides a qualifying feature we have to decide on a method of forming up the starting grid, here is my thinking on the matter...
I favor grid reversal, either full or partial. FULL : Thru the regular season i think the starting grid should just be the reverse of the previous race's finishing order. For the 1st race of the season i propose we use the previous season's standings (and reverse it). Also if we have new players, they get promoted to the front in the order they arrived. Under this scenario GP Round 1 starting order would look like this: Row 1: toadly - Indent Row 2: ChITty - W33dy Row 3: Mofficer - Jackal Row 4: Kav - Dude Row 5: Buz PARTIAL : A concept that is used in real world racing, is reversing the first x number of positions from the previous race ... often the top 8 in larger fields, i'm thinking 4 for ours. The rest of the grid is in forward order of last race results... Under this scenario our order would be: Row 1: Jackal - Kav Row 2: Dude - Buz Row 3: MOfficer - W33dy Row 4: ChITty - Indent Row 5: toadly This would result in a secondary battle for 4th place as it would mean pole in the next race. During the race people will have to pick their battles and weigh up whether they want to race for real points now, or lay off so they get a higher grid spot next time (and gamble that they'll get more points in future that way). Either way, we need to decide on a technique ahead of time so we know what order we should ready-up in. So does one of those idea work for you guys? (or are there other suggestions for handling it?)

Post by: rip|buzinator on July 25, 2008, 12:11:01 PM @ ChITty - lol ... hey, it has a decent run-off ... i recommend people remember this and be prepared to use it, or hold up and duck up the inside when everyone goes flying wide.

Title: WhoopAss GP Season 3 - Round 1 = DONE. Post by: rip|buzinator on July 25, 2008, 12:36:49 PM yeah, that's how the game works as i understand it.
i think it also has a random option but i don't feel like that's appropriate for a longer term series like this. Title: WhoopAss GP Season 3 - Round 1 = DONE.

Title: WhoopAss GP Season 3 - Round 1 = DONE. Post by: rip|buzinator on July 25, 2008, 10:25:52 PM GR ALL ... league pages updated with new scores and timing.
http://www.whoopass-racing.com/season3/pages/results.html Feel free to post some remarks or commentary of your race here... Personally, I was surprised I got pole, and even more surprised that I got a decent start off the line - I also think people did well through turn 1, i hope we see more of that kind of patience. After a bit of a battle with Kav things settled down for me and I had a pretty quiet race ... probably I should have pushed harder for fastest lap, but i was afraid of throwing away a 6 second lead. :) Title: WhoopAss GP Season 3 - Round 1 = DONE.
