Hey, was just wondering if there'd be a GP this weekend?

Suggestion - keep one laps GP instead of 2, but now the rounds servers up, have a GP on rounds, choose a track, and put the point limit to about 100. Very Happy

Or higher... This way, everyone gets a chance at leading, (it can get quite lonely up front when voices isnt chasing you) becuase every mini race will be different from the one before. All the top people might crash out, leaving me to come through to take the victory, like 83 Twisted Evil

That's a nice idea.

Track suggestions anyone? I still say I'd like Jumping GP and god knows what else. One of mine possibly...I'd happily validate it myself if somebody decided how many laps I should do. I don't expect to win on them, by the way, I'd just like to see lots of people crash on the way out of the barrel roll or on the downhill wallride.

Steve - wow , i was going to suggest that when the rounds server came but i didnt think people would like the idea. Cool

In Other News i have 999 wins now on mad laps Razz

but doing that i wont think it can be called a gp. it would just be a very long game of rounds on the same track. wouldnt be as fun, also i dont think many would come.

Although I very much like the idea, it would be hard to calculate the time needed.

It could be that someone wins 10 times in a row (which would be me cause im gooooooood) or it could be that we need to race 20+ races to determine the winner because there are 5 or more people switching places in top 5 all the time (so in effect they get just a bit more than 5 points a race) or people crash constantly.

I'd only come to rounds gp if I was bored at the moment, but a laps GP seems more fun to me

Track suggestion: Fairmont Raceway Cool

(No, not because I have the rec - don't even know if I still have the rec - but a GP on that track would be awesome)
Or: TrojanLaps Laughing

would be cool don't you think

The GP at Galt's ski resorts is gonna take forever

im top of records atm with the best time of 54.90

that's means that 25 laps at that pace (even the 1st one) would take the best part of 23 minutes, that must make it the longest one we've done so far

Argh, bugger. Mind you, that's not such a bad thing as I'm snowed under with homework I should have done by now, so I may or may not make tonight's GPs.

TrojanLaps? It's an great track but that's surely going to have hardly any finishers. I don't recall which one's Fairmont although the chances are I've played it at some stage. Let's do that one and Jumping GP next week.

the first race sounds like it was amazing, cant beleave that i missed it. i have ever liked the second track, its just too hard to do 3 laps clean but 20. was never going to happen for me. well done to BBoy and steve what was you doing, one moment your going very slow and im catching you then your 6 secs ahead. you kept getting my hopes up. Very Happy

lol, i crashed off and turtled, so then i left and rejoined, and waited for bboy from the start line. So i raced him, and was going faster, but he will say he was going slower because he didnt want to crash etc which is fair enough. If only i didnt crash loads in the proper race... I was probably last though.

Dale = BBoy? Razz

Thanks anyway ^^

Raced with Mad in the first one, for the first 10 rounds or so. Then I got away, and it became pretty boring for me lol. Until the last few laps when I got to see the last guys in line.

Second race screenshot I do have
I started out aweful, being pretty close to last. Luckily I got back. Voices was catching me in the last few laps though, but I could stay in front of him Very Happy

was it just me that didnt know that the race was live. am sure someone said "i turtled can we reset so i can race", and the next thing i know were are racing.
