Turn 39 Summary

Kubala knocks down a wear at 100 via the 80's and 2nd line in the 3/4 complex. Harley tosses his last wear, also at 100. He uses the 1st line, followed by the 80's, and takes back the top spot.

Dygert pushes his engine to 140 with his last skill (modified 6). Puddifoot also plots 140 but says 'no thanks' to the bonus space.

Walling gets the initiative at 160 to pull even with Puddifoot. Caldwell is next at 120. Kay also runs 120 but pulls ahead of the orange car with the bonus.

Costa grabs the T2 line at 80. Harrington, at 100, dives inside.

Schipper makes no friends at 60 as he blocks the line. Hoyt late brakes down from 120 with 1s (modified 4) and runs the middle 60's, sans line, for 2 wear. He also demonstrates the value of having completed the personal defaults form.

*I mistakenly used a skill for Skip's brake roll last turn - he clearly asked for no skill usage - and have returned said skill to his stash.

A new race leader and probably for good...

Turn 40 Summary

Kubala gets the initiative at 100. He late brakes to 80 w/ 2s (modified 3) and tosses his last wear onto the T5/6 racing line. Harley plots 80 before late braking to 60 (natural 6). He pulls onto the line but will lose pace to the #22 next turn.

Dygert runs the T3/4 complex on the racing lines at 80 for free.

Walling plots 120 before late braking to 100 prior to the corner (natural 3). He retains the dice cup for a chance roll in the middle lane (natural 7). A spin!

Puddifoot, at 80, clears T3/4 on the double lines, unhindered by the black machine.

Kay follows the #2 race into the corner on the same line, also at 80. Caldwell pulls up to the corner at 80 on the line with the uneasy feeling of staring at the grill of another car.

Harrington rounds T2 at 60 in the middle lane for free and ducks back inside, clearing the way for the next car. Costa runs the T2 line at 60 with a wave to his competitor.

Hoyt knocks down a wear at 80 on the T2 line. Schipper, also at 80, goes middle lane for free.

A bold move in the back goes awry!

Turn 48 Summary

Kubala clears the penultimate corner at 100 on the line. Puddifoot, at 60, sets himself up to do the same next turn.

Dygert takes the outer rail of T15 at 100. Kay follows him in at 120 for a wear.

Caldwell's smallish engine gets to 100. Walling's biggish engine pulls even with the orange car at 140.

Costa and Harrington weave their way through old town Baku at 60 each.

Schipper plots 100 and attempts a forced pass on the purple car with 1 skill (modified 9). Had he made it, a 2-skill chance roll would have ensued, however, he must now brake down to 60 with his last wear and a dice roll (natural 8).

A new series leader!

Turn 49 Summary

Kubala pushes to 200 with his last skill... because why not? Puddifoot clears the left-hander at 100 on the line.

Dygert slows to 60 to complete T15. Kay scrapes off another wear at 100 and takes over 3rd place in the race and 1st in the series!

Caldwell & Walling pull up to T15 at 100 apiece. Fortunately, Phil is going the same speed at Estoril because that's the plot he sent me.

Costa, Harrington, and Schipper stay in formation at 60 each.

With wear waning it's not surprising that this is the slowest of the three trip through sector 2.

The checkered flag comes out!

Checkers.jpeg


Turn 50 Summary

The grandstand erupts as Kubala pushes the engine one more time and reaches 220 (natural 5)! That puts his nose across the finish line for first place.

Puddifoot is through the final corner at 180.

Kay bumps off his last two tires at 140 on the T16 line. Dygert clears the corner at 100.

Caldwell dumps two wear in the T15 60's. Walling eases through the corner at 60.

Costa pushes the engine to 140 (natural 2). Harrington keeps the pace at 120 and the bonus.

Schipper successfully ends his race in T12 by rolling dice at 80 (natural 11). Is Skip running from his fiery car or his pit manager?
