Take 180 and you could take your chances...

I predict that Brad will crash out in turn 44 after barreling through the Bus Stop at top speed. He will collect two more racers in his crash, one of which will be Rando.

Request for clarification:

Bus Stop Chicane has two R/Ls. Is it possible to travel from one R/L to the other? Does Chicane count as 2 separate turns?

It is one corner for wear purposes. Here is Doug's explanation from the other thread:

Its one corner. But because the line is split like that, you can either take both halves and effectively pretend it is a single line all the way through, or you can take only the front half or only the back half.


For example, if you start this turn in the middle space of the row just in front of the corner -- on the line. There are 4 ways into the corner for zero wear at 60 mph.


1) take both lines through the two 40 spaces
2) take the two outside 60 spaces, then take the second line through the 40
3) take the first line through the first 40 space then move to the last two 60 spaces
4) take the 60 spaces all the way around


Obviously choice 1 is the best, but sometimes you are not lucky enough to get the line entering the corner, or sometimes someone spins in that last 40 space... so it gives you more options through the corner.

Go 120...

I dare you....

I double dare you....

I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!

[edit] I chose to bypass the customary double dog dare and went right in for the kill.

Bunched in the front, conga line in the back...

Turn 12 Summary
Fabio take the Paul Frere at 140 for free. Chris does the same but gets the bonus and pulls even with Fabio. Brad drops a wear in the Paul Frere 140's at 160 and tucks in behind Fabio. Rando plots 140 and takes the 140's for free. With the slip he stays on Chris's butt. Kal rolls the dice with 2 sp on the accel table (modified 7) to get up to 160. He grabs the Paul Frere 160's for free and with the slip on Brad tucks in behind Rando. Mike ups his speed to 100 in Fagnes and enters Paul Frere on the 140's. Cody takes the Fagnes line for free at 80. Todd grabs the initiative over Will at 100 and burns a wear on the Fagnes line. Will takes the line for free at 80. Tim enters Fagnes on the line for free at 80. John completes Pouhon at 140 and is poised for the Fagnes line.

Turn 13 Deadline: Friday, December 6th @ 12 noon EST (4 p.m. GMT)
If I have all the plots Friday morning, expect an early adjudication, otherwise they may run late.

Wow, I wrote complicated conditional orders and still managed not to anticipate all that.

No. I was in the middle of Fagnes and could only up it to 100. I was only able to do even that because of the increasing speed limit on the line.

Blech - my error was the previous turn when I should've plotted 100 instead of 80.

At this point, Fabio has the Grand Prix in his grubby hands. I'll do my best to catch up though - there will be some dice rolls in my future. :burnout:

Oh, whoops. Miscounted. Never mind.

Calling the race already? I don't know about that. Personally I don't think Fabio has enough car to hang for the whole race. :smile: We'll see...
