Formula 2 - Apolyton

[Adagio]

Orders for round 2 sent...

[rah]

I really don't see much difference, can you just move the starting line back 4 spaces?

And not picking on you Ras, you were just the most obvious example.

[Drogue]

rah: it means there's one less bit o the bend. You could do 3-2-3 in speed and not use a wildcard. It also means you're start is now identical to mine Sure, we're at a slight disadvantage to those inside us (all of whome can accelerate every turn and not go off) but with one wildcard we're equal to them. I personally don't see it as much of a problem, but I can understand that it isn't the fairest of starts. However with first and some second round orders in, I think moving the start line back a bit isn't the best idea. Sure, it'd be better to start like that next time, but I'd see what happens first here.

[rah]

You don't need a wide finish, so it makes sense just to move the starting line back. While I'm doing this for fun, I was hoping that the start would at least have the illusion of being fair. This doesn't even come close. It makes no sense to have to burn a precious WC just to end up behind the pack.

And since the first bend is right, your position (while bad) is still better than mine.

[Drogue]

Why? Even though the bend is right, it is just as short a route taking the outside as it is taking the inside, looking at the track. We are both an identical number of dots from the top line on Skanky's pic. What the first bend is doesn't matter, since there is no point in taking the inside on this track, as it is always straight in the end.

[rah]

I dissagree, anyone on the right side of the track where it narrows will be able to take the first turn faster without burning wild cards.

[Jonny]

I sent in my round 2 orders this morning, I just forgot to mention it...

[Drogue]

Who are we still waiting for for round one?

[Jonny]

Judging from the front page, it looks like we're still waiting on Frozzy...

[Rasputin]

vrooooom vroooooom

[Skanky Burns]

For round 2, we are still waiting on orders from Pave.
Finalising results from round 1 now.

Round 2

Spaced hit an oil-slick and moved 1 square to the left.
Rasputin and ADG were involved in a collision, as were Drogue and alva.

Drogue and ADG have a speed of 2, while Rasputin and alva are currently sitting there at 0 speed.

Now accepting orders for round 3.

[Drogue]

So we round down the halving of speed for collisions, when you're in front? I knew I had to get the orders in before alva in order to only lose half. Nice way of braking for corners though

Have you got speeds and wildcards left please?

[Drogue]

Orders sent Actually scrap that. Orders being changed.
