Project Cars Stoopid Challenges
Discussion
Report from Watkins Glen in a BMW M3 where Hasslemoff takes the win and I might have written him off too early last week becuase he's now back up there challenging for the League. sean_d(VR) stays in the lead with Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff chasing. At the bottom, no-shows from Quikcurl and Dor hurt their chances of staying in League 1.
In League 2 andy_b takes the win and moves to 1st place with evans looking good for the other promotion slot. Masquerada is looking like he's going down with the other demotion place currently held by ROSSinHD, but he can be quick when he wants to be so anything could happen.
League 3, SundayGloom continues his march upwards with MacLean10 taking his 3rd second place on the trot. Lots of no-shows at the bottom there so no demotion pressures.
League 4 danoliver1 well clear with garyellerby following, but a strong first race from Bigjobbo.
Handicapped championship, and it's RossinHD that takes the win and molineux1980 gets 2nd to take himslelf to the top of the table from GT500Cobra.
In the newly created Ballast Championship where the previous winner carries the most 'ballast' into the next race, it's our fastest three against each other again, with sean_d(VR) edging that one for the minute.
In the team championship, a no-show from Quikcurl means the Bandicoots (SundayGloom, Dpb1975 and me) take a glorious victory.
Next race is Road America in a Lambo.

Really enjoyed that combo, the BMW was good and Watkins Glen is a great track, albeit one i've not played on since GPL !
New house is getting closer so hoping to have more time to invest and improve rather than having to cram an entire seasons laps into one session at the mother in laws :-)

Report from Road America in a Lambo. It was looking close there for a minute and setting up the final race perfectly but then sean_d(VR) pulled out a fantastic lap at the end and it's now looking very much like he's got League 1 in the bag. Down at the bottom DoR is down and Dpb1975 needs something special to avoid the drop.
In League 2 andy_b pulls out a decent lead, but it's between evans and TrigL for the final spot. At the bottom Masquerada is down, Cxrodent, Matt S and ROSSinHD are all level with one of the three to face the drop.
In League 3 Sundaygloom and MacLean10 should be good for promotion, shed loads of no-shows though mean there could be up to 4 going down.
League 4 sees danoliver1 well in the lead, but there could be lots of promotion slots available because of no-shows.
In the handicapped championship myrdo comes from nowhere to take the win, but molineux1980 hangs in there to keep the championship lead.
In the ballast championship, sean_d(VR) remains in the lead, but Hasslemoff will be lightest going into the final race.
In the team championship, after a minor blip in the previous race, QC Racing are back to their winning ways.
Final race is Nordschleife, let's see if I can even get a valid lap in....

sean_d(VR) takes the final race win to end a fantastic championship and win his first league title. Born2BSlow takes 2nd and Hasslemoff 3rd. Well done to those 3 who are currently unchallenged for those top 3 spots.
In the handicapped championship omnio puts in a good final race and takes the championship from molineux1980 and andy_b.
In the ballast championship, it ends up exactly the same as League 1, with sean_d(VR), Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff. Going to have to tweak the calculations so the rest of us can have a chance in there next season.
In the team championship, QC Racing (Quikcurl, Djbuzz07, Paicey) destroyed everyone before them and took this at a canter.
Some stats for you for the championship.
3631 laps completed.
9242 miles completed, which according to Google Maps is about the same as driving from London to Perth.

I thought that was a fun little combo, I wasn't very good at it as usual, but fun none the less. After a long battle between Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff, Born2BSlow was out in front, until at the last minute Sean_d(VR) pops up and whips away the win. I believe some strong language may have been used in the Born2BSlow household. Rob returns from his sabbatical to take 4th after a huge 114 laps.
League 2 sees Sundaygloom continue his march to League 1 but there's some quick guys chasing, AllanPRF, MacLean10, TrigL and Dpb1975.
League 3 sees U4IK_ST8 back winning after realising that you're not allowed to tune the car and is quite a way ahead of myrdo.
League 4 is a bit deserted at the moment, but will hopefully fill up with new joiners, Rob the clear leader there.
Don't forget no-shows cleared out after race 3 so there's the potential for mid-championship promotions.
In the handicapped championship, new joiner Ianb-lincs takes the win with myrdo and molineux1980 next in.
In the ballast championship, nothing really to report as the first race is the marker with no 'ballast' applied. I have however increased the ballast calc from 2% to 3% which will hopefully drag the top 3 back into the fold.
In the Team Championship, big news is that QC Racing didn't win and could only manage 3rd. Fast(ish) n Loud take the spoils with The Bandicoots in 2nd.
Next up is Sonoma Raceway in the Lotus Type 51, which is not so much a car, as a wall/barrier seeking manned missile. Could be interesting......

Report from Hockenheimring Short in a Honda NSX.
First of all congratulations to Maclean10 for becoming a father for the second time, I'm guessing that's going to limit his sim-racing time a tad....
It's half-way so we have our Mid Term No-Show Promotion/Demotions housekeeping.
evans drops down from League 1, and after a 3-way battle between Sundaygloom, AllanPRF and MacLean10 it's Sundaygloom that emerges victorious to take the vacant spot in that League. Rob moves up from League 3 to 2 to replace Sundaygloom.
Brattskeggr drops down from League 2 and U4IK_ST8 moves up to replace him.
In the actual race sean_d(VR) takes the win with a late effort after Born2BSlow nearly stole it from him. So that's 3 from 3 for sean_d meaning a convincing lead with Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff fighting over 2nd place. In the relegation zone it's looking like tuomijr is in trouble and probably Lanius1984 as he seems to have disappeared.
League 2 is where the actions at. Rob, AllanPRF, U4IK_ST8 and Maclean10 all scrapping for 2 promotion slots. Relegation is 2 out of Paicey, Matt S and RossinHD.
League 3 and we have myrdo from omnio but molineux1980 should be right up there after having a bit of a bad race this time round.
Handicapped championship, Ianb-lincs is still out in the lead but is now suffering with his handicap, and myrdo takes the win to catch right up.
Ballast Championship, and Born2BSlow with no ballast takes the win but sean_d(VR) does well to take 2nd with 1.2% ballast. That leaves him in the lead from Born2BSlow and Hasslemoff. It's still the big three well out in front, so I'll be doing some tinkering with the calculation for the next championship to try and give us all a chance in there :-)
The only thing left is the Team championship which my team The Bandicoots WON!
You might notice a common theme that I keep on coming up with formats until I get one that I do ok in :-)
Racer of the week goes to Sean_d(VR) who posted a time so close to a round second (1:04.999690) that some of my website formatting blew up. To be investigated.....
Next race is Brno in a Porsche 918.
Come and join in at www.stoopidchallenges.com, anyone welcome, it's fun, free and we're a friendly bunch.
Give it a go. All your laps automatically uploaded to the website, none of this post a screenshot stuff. I get all the telemetry of your best lap so you can see what you're doing different to other people at all the points in the lap. IOS app is a bit flakey by the way, but I'm working on that :-)
The PCLapUpdater is built using the .NET framework and I thought that an up to date version of windows would have all the voices pre-installed. You could try this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.a... which downloads Microsoft Speech.
Also you can press the Test button. I you have Speech installed it will talk, if not a message box should pop up saying that you don't have speech installed.

Round up of Race 1. The big news, well as big as you can get in a small community of people driving pretend cars around a pretend track, is that Speeddmon91 is back. The second big news is that sean_d(VR) pulled in a last minute lap and beat the unbeatable.
So the top 3 in League 1 are sean_d(VR) and Hasslemoff with AllanPRF 3rd having the highly impressive stats of starting 73 laps and only actually getting to the end of 2 of them. A few no-shows from some regulars in this league, hoping everyone's ok and it's just half-term absences.
In League 2, the newly promoted e300vkb smashes everyone else to take the lead with Maclean10 and then Twistygit.
League 3 has Speeddmon91 well clear, after his sabbatical he needs to work his way back up, but with no-shows I can't imagine that taking too long. evans continues his return to take 2nd.
In the handicapped championship we have L_Master_B taking the win and then Twistygit and sean_d(VR).
Ballast championship is same as the real-time as no ballast applied in the first race.
In the team championship, with some regulars missing, The Bandicoots take it a canter.
In the Office Cubicle Challenge, Plaice beats grandadjim by 0.04 seconds, consigning grandadjim to being on tea duty for the next week (again), or you could penalise Jonah Hill for not turning up and make him do it.
Next race is Cadwell Park in an old(ish) Merc.
