Hey all, apologies on the delay. Most folks didn't know, but my wife and I were expecting our 4th boy in February. Well, due to complications, he joined us on Wednesday night instead! As we work with our preemie and a recovering wife/mom I'm not going to have a lot of time to process turns.
So, in order to continue moving forward with this race, Doug has offered to step in as Race Moderator for a while. As he's currently driving in this race, he will email his plot to me before publishing results for each turn.
Turn notes:Rule reminders - you can only pay 2 wear for +40 in a corner, to go +60 you must roll on the chance table, even if it's over 2 turns. Also, you must specify whether you want to late brake before entering the corner to avoid paying wear.
Meng retires - as a result of the spin roll, Meng has opted to resign, so he'll pull off of the track next turn and we will look for a replacement for Marina Bay.
Next Deadline: Turn 28 Plots are due to doug@lucidphoenix.com on Monday, December 7 at Noon EST/5pm UTC.Turn 27 ResultsDoug starts lap 3 by heading down the straight at 140. Turyko slows to 100 on the Casio line at the already-paid wear. Meng continues at 120 - the plot indicated to spend a wear, but 2 wear were already spent last turn on this corner, so he must roll the dice instead. He rolls a naked 7 and spins in the first 60 space. Giovanni plots 120 and late brakes to 100 with 2s on the brakes test (mod 8), and takes the line for 2 wear. Dave also plots 120 but with the line blocked is forced into the 80s for 2 wear; with the 60s blocked as well, he must slam on the brakes for a wear to avoid running into Giovanni.
Chris goes 120 and late brakes to 100 before grabbing the line for a wear. Jim goes 100 and is forced into the 80s for a wear. Ken pulls up on the line at 100. Grant and Marshall both go 160, Grant takes the 140s through 130R for a wear and Marshall takes the 160s for free. Joe plots 160 and rolls the dice for top speed with 2 skill (mod 6) and heads down the straight.
