i’ll do it shortform, but i will
I ran against Koolkei in the first round and he won, but I don’t get to race again even though I have the second fastest time after Koolkei and it wasn’t a legit race?
As much as I would like to take a win, if a car ain’t legal it should be banned from the start, not at the end…

well, this is turning into a saga
I’ll rerun the semi finals and finals again tomorrow.
really sorry about this, but i only caught it going back and looking at the times again for the dice rolls. so i did a real big dumb dumb.
With the dice rolls, @AirJordan could easily beat me, but we won’t know the outcome until we actually roll the dice. @koolkei may still be a legit entry too; I think we still need to give him a chance to correct his car.
i mean if he can proove it’s my end, i’ll keep the initial, but as is, it’s .16-.19 out of regulation. i will fix this and i will commit sodoku after that.

My 2 cents: this competition is a lot like a tennis tournament. a few get accepted. than they fight 1 against 1. the best moves forward. In a tennis tournament, if the winner is caught positive for doping after the final, they don’t rerun the entire tournament. the trophy is awarded to the other finalist.

basically, i’m moving @Detsikeulii up, as the other two were nowhere near to qualifying, and i will re run from their. it’s nothing too taxing, but i’ll wait for @koolkei to respond

look we are only human and we make mistakes and miss stuff. My recommendation would be to send me the export files and I will check on my system. If the car is found to be illegal I would recommend removing the car from the results and running OMG vs Smooth for the win which would give Latsun the third place.
And at times we do forget just how labor intensive running a challenge can be, it’s not easy, and completing the races/blogs does take up alot of time so for the results to be posted 2 days after deadline is bloody quick ( for future I recommend taking a little longer ). Also guys John is still cutting his teeth and will make mistakes etc just as I did, It’s important that we discuss any issues in the open WITHOUT turning into a Dick (and making the Racemaster suicidal 
, that hasn’t happened here and I don’t think it will.
The great thing about the DRC is that it is not as competitive as the BRC or shopping car challenge and each couple of weeks there is a new round held, so entrants can lick their wounds and come back at the winners. I am very surprised that after 7 rounds we do not have 7 different winners. But this is also a challenge where a new player can win and it will happen, I mean I started this thing and I still haven’t come close to winning lol.
EDIT: Please everybody make certain you know the rules I have added a new rule about tyre size and the scrutinizing process. (which will mean that this issue will not happen again)
Basically If your car is checked and not legal you will have 48hrs minimum to fix the entry.

okay… this all brewed up when i’m asleep.
about the brake issue… is there some game update that messed with this?
because i have NEVER made a car with more than 1% brake fade unless it’s using drum brakes…
i’m pretty sure, like the rest of my stats, the brake stats is on the limit of the rule. like 32.9 something…
but yet, now i opened it again… it’s not.
so i can’t prove it. i guess i’ll have to hand off the the crown to the second place
(there goes my second win 
teehee)
edit. heck there’s quite a bit wrong with my car…
it’s now undercooled? so the fuel consumption gone up a bit too…
and going up to 165 front tires solves it… so it may still also be my fault i’m not sure. so i’ll just go with how things are at the moment
Could this be stable vs beta issues?
it wasn’t brake fade, but it was over the 33m braking distance. it was 33.16-33.19, depending on how the game felt.

Great!
@JohnWaldock I hope we did not put you under too much stress, just trying to be constructive (not always successful). Still great round and still thumbs up for pictures+blurbs.
I am aware of this^^^ but since I already did it in round 7 (after second win) and have a rough idea of what we might do next, may I set the rules for this one (question to participants and authority)?
Oh and @JohnWaldock since you posted last rules I think it would be cool that you get champions pick as well.
i humbly accept.
I accept. I’ve got an idea of my own brewing for a round as well… Now I just need to win!
I’m all in favour of the winner setting the rules for the next race. The CSR thread shows how well this idea works so the more, the merrier I say!
