[size=200]Stage 0[/size]
This is a 400km drive from point a to point b. All the cars have been fitted with their technical inspection stickers by the local government tech inspection station. Everybody is fueled up to the brim and their gas caps are locked. It’s a simple drive down an interstate, with smooth tarmac and cool tunes in the radio (if you fitted that sort of thing)
This stage however surprised me, since all the calculations were open, you all could easily see if your car would fail here. For most people who have done the math the results of Stage 0 will be entertaining, but not nail biting, since you know if you will finish or not.
Well… on to the results.
[size=50]Vri404
Car weight : 1314.6
fuel tank : 65.7
10km @ 120kph : 2.9l
400km consumption : 116l
Remaining in tank : The suspicion that there’s a hole in the tank, or the engine, or something…
This car barely got over the half way point with 174km to go. Needless to say everybody was quite surprised, since there was a loooong way to go

There was enough fuel left to go back and share some fuel with the ones who didn’t finish. But we didn’t do it because we were too busy partying.[/size]
So the next stage won’t be as dramatic with only 1 of us being knocked out. See you there.
[size=200]Stage 1[/size]
These calculations are done for 1 lap, since it does not actually make a difference unless we implement the damage PER LAP, which would shuffle the grid a bit. So here’s laptimes, lowest to highest, just so you have to scroll down and hope you aren’t out of this competition yet. MWUAHAHAHA… tension etc…
