Sorry for the delay, folks. Only change in order is where Turyko jumps ahead of Dave as we mosey through Raffles and Esplanade.

Next Deadline: Turn 14 due Friday, February 26 at 9am EST/2pm UTC (hard deadline). Note the earlier time - if I go too much later I won't have time to process pretty much at all over the weekend. If you can get plots in tomorrow, great!

Turn 13 Results
Giovanni and William both plot 80 on the Raffles racing line for a wear. Turyko also plots 80 on the line, jumping ahead of Dave who goes 60 on the line for free. Chris follows at 60 and starts the line.

Simone plots 80, overbreaking for a wear and then taking the Esplanade line for a wear. Jim goes 100 on the line for 2 wear and pulls even with Simone. Ken plots 80 and follows the other two through Esplanade on the line for a wear. Grant goes 100 and starts the line.

Joe plots 120 and grabs the line behind Grant. Marshall goes 120 and sticks to the inside, while Doug takes the Fullerton line at 60 for free.

Thanks for getting your plots in relatively early, drivers! I started last night and was able to finish this morning. William takes the lead back from Giovanni, and we're starting to spread out in this last sector of the track.

Next Deadline: Turn 15 plots due Monday, February 29 at Noon EST/5pm UTC. In all likelihood it will be Tuesday morning before I can get to the adjudication, but if I can get to it early, I will. Just want to set the right expectations. :)

Turn 14 Results
William hits the gas and sheds 2 wear on the Gallery 60s, ending inside past the corner. Giovanni plots 80 and uses the same route, just clearing the corner behind him for a wear. Turyko goes 100, using the 60s and then the 80s for 2 wear. Dave goes 60 and heads into the Gallery 40 space for a wear.

Chris goes 60 on the Raffles line and ends inside. Simone plots 80 and sheds a wear on the line to pull even with Chris. Jim follows at 60, ending behind Chris. Ken goes 80, and with Jim blocking the end of the line he opts for the Raffles 60s for a wear.

Grant and Joe both take the Esplanade line; Grant for free at 60, Joe goes 80 for a wear and pulls to the outside of Grant. Marshall goes 60 on the line for free while Doug gains a bit of ground at 120.

Hey Drivers - thanks for your patience on the delay. Finally got my house back and was putting out fires at work all day yesterday.

Next Deadline: Turn 16 plots due Friday, March 4 at Noon EST/5pm UTC (hard deadline). I'll process early if I have all plots and the time to push it through.

Turn 15 Results
William goes 120 through the Promenade 120s for free. Giovanni goes 100 and takes a slip through the 100 space to catch up to William. Turyko continues at 100 and finishes in the 100 space. Dave continues at 60 to finish Gallery.

Simone gets the jump on Chris by going 100 and taking the Gallery 60s for 2 wear, he pulls up outside of Dave. Chris goes 60 for free in the 60s. Jim goes 80, dropping 2 wear in the 40 space and zipping past Chris in the corner.

Ken goes 80 and takes the 60s for a wear. Grant, Joe, and Marshall all go 80 and take the Raffles line for a wear. Doug takes the Esplanade line for free at 60.

We continue to spread out as our leaders start lap 2, we've got a serious battle for 4th place - and - what's that smell? Oh, it's just Doug's tires.

Next Deadline: Turn 17 plots due Monday at Noon EST/5pm UTC (hard deadline).

Turn 16 Results
William plots 160 and tests top speed (naked 5), and ends in the center lane before the corner. Giovanni goes 140 and finishes inside, and Turyko does the same.

Dave goes 120 and takes the Promenade 120s for free. Simone and Jim go 100 through the 100 space for free, and Jim takes the slip off of Dave to make it 3 wide past Promenade.

Chris goes 80 through the 80s to finish Gallery. Ken also goes 80, but uses the 60s for the already-paid wear to pull even with Chris. Grant and Joe each go 80 through the 60s for a wear, but Joe is forced into the 80s at the end of the move. Marshall hits the Gallery 60s at 100 for 2 wear.

Doug plots 80 and actually spends a wear on the Raffles line. :eek: Watch out, Doug. Your tires look a little warm.

William and Giovanni lose Turyko in Sheares Corner, while Ken, Chris, and Grant form a Conga Line in the back half of the field.

Next Deadline: Turn 18 plots due Monday, March 7 at 4pm EST/9pm UTC (soft deadline). Hard deadline is Tuesday, March 8 at Noon EST/5pm UTC.

Turn 17 Results
William overbrakes to 80 using a brakes test (naked 9) and opts for the 100-100-100-40 route through Sheares Corner for 2 wear. Giovanni goes 100 and takes the opposite route through the 80-100-60-60, also for 2 wear. Turyko also goes 100 and takes the 100s into the corner for free.

Dave and Jim go 140 and line up side-by-side after starting the second lap. With damaged brakes and Sheares Corner coming up, Simone accelerates more conservatively to 120 and grabs the orange car's spoiler.

Ken gets the initiative on Chris by plotting 140, he takes the Promenade 120s for a wear and ends inside. Chris goes 120 and follows Ken through the corner for free. Grant goes 120 out of Gallery, taking the 100 space in Promenade for a wear and forming the conga line behind Chris.

Joe accelerates to 100 for the already-paid wear and takes the Promenade 100 for free. Marshall has the same idea, but can go 120 because he paid 2 wear last turn. With Joe blocking the 100 space he heads into the first 120 space in Promenade for free. Doug goes 100 and takes the Gallery 60s for 2 wear.

Giovanni takes the lead back from William, Jim and Joe nail their dice rolls, and everyone but Doug has finished the first lap.

Next Deadline: Turn 19 plots due Wednesday, March 9 at 4pm EST/9pm UTC (soft deadline). Hard deadline is Thursday, March 10 at Noon EST/5pm UTC.

Turn 18 Results
Giovanni accelerates to 140 coming out of Sheares Corner and takes the Boulevard racing line for 2 wear. William goes 120 and follows him onto the line. Turyko continues at 100 through the 60s for 2 wear.

Jim plots 120 then late brakes with 2 skill (mod 4) to 100 and takes the 80-100-60-60 route into Sheares for 2 wear. Dave goes 80 and takes the 80-100-40 route for 2 wear to keep pace with Jim. Simone goes 100 and takes the 100s for free.

Ken and Chris go 120 and Chris gets a slip to pull even with Ken ahead of the corner. Grant goes 140 but can't slip because he's going faster then Chris, but stays on his tail.

Joe plots 160 and uses 2 skill to test top speed (mod 4), he starts his second lap and grabs Grant's spoiler. Marshall continues at 120 and puts a nose across the start/finish line. Doug continues through the 60 space in Gallery for the already paid wear and ends on the Promenade 100 for free.

Giovanni pulls away from William a bit but it's likely a short reprieve. A big portion of the field goes out of, through, or into Sheares Corner this turn with relative ease, and now everyone is on the second lap.

Next Deadline: Turn 20 plots due Friday, March 11 at Noon EST/5pm UTC (soft deadline). Hard deadline will be Monday, March 14 at Noon EDT/4pm UTC. Note the time change in the states to Daylight Saving Time.

Turn 19 Results
Giovanni goes 140 down the straight. William takes the Boulevard line for free at 100. Turyko does the same, ending in the 100 space. Dave goes 120 and starts the Boulevard line. Jim follows at 100 and stays on his tail.

Simone goes 80 through the Sheares 60s for a wear. Ken goes 80, taking the 80-100-60s route for a wear. Chris also plots 80 but with his first choice option blocked, he heads for the 80 and then the 100 and late brakes to 60 using his last 2 skill (mod 1) and takes the 40 space for a wear.

Grant plots 80 but doesn't specify a wear spend or route, so he was taken through the 100s for free. Joe plots 100 and takes the 80-100-60 route for 2 wear to nestle in between Ken and Grant. Marshall plots 120 and heads into the 80 space for 2 wear. Doug goes 160 down the straight to close out the first lap.

Just under a half second lead for William that lap. Two-thirds of the field under 100mph average.

Thanks as always for the stats, Jim!

A mostly quiet turn except Grant runs into some trouble when he attempts to save some wear.

Next Deadline: Turn 22 plots due Monday, March 14 at 4pm EDT/8pm UTC (soft deadline). Hard deadline is Tuesday at Noon EDT/4pm UTC.

Turn 21 Results
Giovanni & William slow to 80. Giovanni takes the Memorial Line for free and the Stamford 60s for a wear. William also takes the Memorial line for free. Turyko goes 120 and grabs the Memorial line just before the corner. Dave and Jim each plot 140, and Jim gets a slip to pull even with Dave.

Simone goes 140 coming out of the Boulevard. Ken, Chris, and Joe all go 100 on the Boulevard line for free. [RM note: Joe ordered a slip but Chris was not going fast enough.]

Grant and Marshall each plot 140. Grant goes first and while his preference is the line, the end is blocked, so he heads to the 100s for a wear and chance (2s applied), but he rolls a modified 8 and spins in the 100s! Marshall, whose second choice was also the 100s, has to move to plan C and taps the breaks for a wear before the corner and uses the line for a wear at 120, pulling up behind Joe. Doug continues at 100 for the already paid wear.

We have our first NPR from Ken, which enables an unexpected 3-wide as the back half heads down the straight toward Memorial Corner. Ken - are you still with us?

Next Deadline: Turn 23 plots due Wednesday, March 16 at Noon EDT/4pm UTC (soft deadline). Hard deadline will be Thursday at the same time.

Turn 22 Results
Giovanni goes 80 on the Rec Club line for free. William also goes 80, he finishes the Memorial line, sheds 2 wear in the Stamford 40 space and then clears Rec Club on the line for free to close the gap a bit with Giovanni. Turyko goes 80 on the Memorial Line, and heads through the Stamford 60s for a wear. Jim goes 100 and uses the Memorial 80s for a wear, and then finishes on the Stamford line. Dave goes 80 on the Memorial line and squeezes inside of Jim before Stamford.

Simone goes 120 and starts the Memorial Corner line. NPR from Ken. The RM plot takes him down the straight at 120 and finish in the outside lane. Chris goes 140 and pulls to the inside of Ken. Joe plots 160 and uses 2 skill to roll on the top speed table (mod 8). With a successful roll, he shoots down the straight and splits Chris and Ken to create a 3-wide that nobody expected. Marshall goes 140 and keeps pace with Joe using a slipstream, and finishes behind Chris.

Grant recovers from his spin at 60 and ends on the Boulevard racing line. Denied the line, Doug drops a wear on the Boulevard 80 space and slides by Grant.

Next Deadline: Turn 24 plots due Friday, March 18 at Noon EDT/4pm UTC (hard deadline). Thanks for the quick turnaround, folks!

Turn 23 Results
Giovanni goes 120 down the straight and starts the Sling line. William plots 140 and rolls a naked 8 on the acceleration table to charge down the straight behind him.

Turyko continues at 80, using the Rec Club line for free. Dave also goes 80, dropping a wear on the Stamford 60s and then uses the Rec Club line for free. Jim goes 60 on the Stamford line for free, and with the 60 space blocked, the first 80 space in Rec Club. Simone overbrakes to 80 using a brakes test with 1 skill point (mod 3) and then takes the memorial line for free and the Stamford 60s for a wear.

We press on, things are spreading out up front and bunching up at the back.

Next Deadline: Turn 25 plots due Monday, March 21 at Noon EDT/4pm UTC (hard deadline). If I get everything over the weekend, I'll try to process early.

Turn 24 Results
Giovanni plots 80 on the Singapore Sling line for a wear and continues on to the Fullerton line for another wear. William follows him on both lines but ends just before Fullerton. Turyko goes 120 and starts the Sling line. Dave roars out of Rec Club at 140, catching Turyko and ending inside with access to the line next turn. [RM note: I neglected to deduct Dave's wear spend in Turn 23 from his total. That has been corrected in the stat box.]

Jim accelerates to 80 through Rec Club and ends inside on the straight. Simone goes 80 on the Rec Club line and closes the gap with Jim. Chris goes 60 in the Stamford 60s and starts the Rec Club line. Joe also goes 60 but takes the Stamford line then squeezes inside of Chris before Rec Club.

Marshall & Ken each go 60. Marshall takes the Memorial 60 space and then the Stamford Line. Ken wanted the same path, but with it blocked his second choice is to go through the Memorial 80s and then start the Stamford line. [RM note: Ken also had the option to use the 60 space anyway and head into the Stamford 60s but this wasn't one of the specified routes.]

Doug plots 100, but with his first choice route blocked at the end by Ken, he late brakes to 80 using 2 skill and a brakes test (mod 5) and takes the Memorial line for free. Grant also plots 100, but heads into the Memorial 80s for a wear.

Giovanni with the fastest sector so far. Joe came to life. Grant the only one under 100mph.
