The race format here is all about the quickest lap time, not crossing the line first. This is the second session (had the wrong mount for the first and didn't have time to go back to my car to get the right one). First session results: 1: Racer 1 (birthday boy) - 42.501 2: CycleGaz - 43.496 3. Racer 2 - 43.769 4: Racer 3 - 46.723 5: Random Racer 1 - 48.199 6: Racer 4 - 48.274 7: Racer 5 - 48.289 8: Racer 6 - 49.936 9: Random Racer 2 - 50.045 10: Racer 7 - 50.250 Summary of Race 1: It was busy at the start, a few crashes into the barriers from racers that haven't raced before. so first clean lap on the 5th, set the fastest time of 48.292. then the 6th even better at 44.097. Hit a bit of traffic. Got squished on the ramp going up and had to roll back down to get enough power to go up. So stuck in traffic until I got past and got a free run at the track again, got a lap time of 43.496 on lap 12 and had the fastest time that whole time. Then on lap 13 Racer 1 got the fastest time and I didn't get another shot at it. Race 2: As you can see from the video. I had some issues at the start getting past a slower racer and got passed by Racer 2. I decided to let off the power and get some space on the track and then really push some fast laps. As you can see from my lap times below, it worked! I knew I had hit some good lap times and hoped I had won it, so decided to have a bit more fun and go for some overtakes. Some easy, some hard. Annoyingly in the briefing they never talk about being aware of what is behind you, so many times I'm attempting to pass I just get cut off because the person in front doesn't know I am there. Results: 1: CycleGaz - 40.948 2: Racer 1 - 41.111 3: Racer 2 - 41.447 4: Racer 4 - 44.812 5: Random Racer 1 - 44.935 6: Racer 3 - 44.987 7: Racer 7 - 45.512 8: Racer 5 - 45.970 9: Racer 6 - 46.115 10: Randome Racer 2 - 46.876 As you can see, pretty damn close between the top three. First race just over a second and second race just under half a second. My Lap times Race 1: 1. 74.756 2. 97.793 3. 65.224 4. 61.543 5. 48.292 6. 44.097 7. 46.999 8. 48.135 9. 46.842 10. 48.049 11. 54.225 12. 43.496 13. 55.454 14. 48.853 Race 2: 1. 42.211 2. 63.932 3. 57.225 4. 69.220 5. 41.941 6. 41.472 7. 40.948 8. 46.152 9. 48.642 10. 46.013 11. 47.377 12. 43.503 13. 45.432 14. 46.125 15. 44.968 16. 44.805 17. 51.523
