Re: [Turn 43] Formula D
Three straight ahead, use one break point. Thanks for the low roll, I was looking forward to smashing into the wall there...

Re: [Turn 44] Formula D
I'm going to assume everyone gears up on this next turn and just start handing out movement rolls. hentzau will get 3rd on his turn, everyone else will be getting 5th.
Tommy20 (White 1): Movement roll is 16.

Dice hate me. Straight ahead.
That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Re: [Turn 44] Formula D
Straight 14. Should put me juuuust in front and to the right of bb2112.
Now all I have to do is survive one more collision roll. I feel like a movie cop three days before retirement.

Wow, from first to 5th. How things change when the dice go bad. Well, at least I finished. =)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to running another one after a bit. With coop's help, it's a lot easier to run.bb2112 wrote:Isgrimnur, thank you for running, it was a lot of fun! Look forward to the next race.

Re: Formula D Race 1 - Singapore Complete
Good game, folks. This was definitely a lot of fun. Thanks for running, Isg.
Post-race thoughts:
- It's quite surprising how much "slowdown" you can achieve by switching lanes properly before/after a turn. This makes the risk of picking a gear that might cause you to overshoot a turn more manageable.
- Meanwhile, undershooting a turn (on the track) is a complete disaster - not only do the other guys get a free (game) turn on you, but you probably need to gear down to avoid crashing. Thus, it should be avoided at all costs - you can replace tires after a pit stop, you can't replace lost time.
- Skipping the pit didn't really get me much in the way of catching up, maybe one or two spots at most. Probably because you can come out of the pit in 4th gear.
