Round 4 Results
One of the competitors getting some air as a couple of spectators watch on the first stage of the Monte Vias Rally.
Automation Results
The various stages of the Monte Vias Rally were a huge challenge to the contestants, demanding good low-speed agility and excellent acceleration statistics, at the expense of top speed. The length too of the events were particularly grueling, testing the endurance and concentration of the drivers as they made their way over the treacherous alpine and sub-alpine roads in and around Monte Vias.
@killrob took top honours comfortably, the Barodeur EX500 comfortably faster than @AndiD’s Kavaler on the first two stages, though both were relatively evenly matched on the short third stage. Times remained tight through the rest of the top 10 and beyond, with only a minute between Roadkill in fifth place and @Texaslav in 16th place. @Der_Bayer had a much-improved run here, the Razzo Icaro proving to be quite quick on the first and last stages respectively, just enough to edge out PureCarbon for 9th place.
The Cyclist Results
Shock and awe at the results of the Classico Fruinia, as @Riley dethrones Killrob at the top of the standings, finishing a tenth of a turn ahead to take the top spot…well done to him! AndiD had yet another strong outing, finishing just behind Killrob in third place, while @Edsel massively improved over the last run, finishing an extremely competitive fourth place ahead of @karhgath and @jooliv, continuing their string of excellent results.
FInally, a big congratulations to @LS_Swapped_Rx-7, for winning the random draw for a $25 US Steam gift certificate for completing the Classico Fruinia!

Overall Cyclist Standings
AndiD leads the field the field comfortably after the completion of Round 4, a strong showing in both events helping them open up nearly a 110-point lead over @Xepy in third place. Der Bayer slips a place to Riley, after the latter’s excellent result in this round, and jooliv bursts into the top ten, their string of excellent results paying off in a big way now. Killrob was unable to pull further away from AndiD in the overall standings, after the latter’s return to form in Fruinia, and many other contestants have stayed within striking distance of a top 10 finish overall.
In the Cyclist standings, AndiD now leads the overall contestant standings over Der Bayer, taking a 1-point lead with this round. Karhgath remains close behind in third place, being only one bad result from the leaders away from first place.
From Monte Vias, the challenge heads north and east, to the hot, dry steppe of Archana, and one of the most demanding and challenging events of the entire competition; the Maryaskaya Triangle. The Archanan government kindly shut down parts of their highway system for us to host this round of the competition, where contestants will contend with high speeds and poor-quality pavement, to see who has the fastest, most stable car at high speed.
On the Cyclist Side, the competition heads even further north to Yanagrad for the second of the two “majors”, where a series of long, demanding time trials begins, that will ultimately have the riders re-unite with the cars in the capital city of Kronagrad.
The Cyclist Event #4 times - as well as the Community Vote - are due in just over 5 hours from now!

'd by the exploit… I am looking at you Killrob for not fixing your mess in time 
That is a fun discovery, at least you can use my car as QA benchmark to debug that issue
