21 and 23.
That's amazing, innit? Wonderful.

Surely Jeletraz will score points from third on the grid? If he's going to keep up his no-points form, he's going to have to do something spectacular(ly rejectful)

Presenting to you, Round 7 at Shojo, where we see engines with as much structural integrity as Jell-O, a total wuss behind the wheel and the spiritual successor to the Crashy Kink from Macau...

Race 7 -- Shojo

Not bad, Antoine. Not bad at all. 13 positions. Well done.

I don't understand what's so funny about Yofat's name? He's just a regular racing driver from Kuwait like any other. And judging by this race he's actually pretty succesful at making moves on the other guys :vergne:

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 23 Jan 2018, 16:23

Jeletraz actually managed to score a point! Now he just needs to score about 38 more and he'll be back into the championship fight

Could've been worse.

... Trevaskis? Podium? Whaaaaaaa...?

Oh thank christ McPherson retired. I was almost beginning to think she had become competent.

AlphaRacer celebrates his win by quoting Gandhi:

Then just imagine how I felt when Trevaskis went from crap even in equal AI to running the entire race within a second of the leader! Although I do find it really weird that he never once attacked, given that his "Ultra Pro" was aggression he should surely have been climbing all over the car in front

The Random Racing League is back for Round 8, where we visit a deserted Japanese track with a muscle car on steroids. And, apparently, the AI behaviour may act as if they've been on the juice, too...

Regardless of how well or otherwise John O. Groats does, this race should be fun.

Now with your preview out of the way, here is the qualifying session you've been waiting for! I hope y'all enjoy it. If you don't, dial our Customer Service Helpline at 1800-Don'tCallThisItAin'tReal and give us your kind feedback, which will be taken into consideration for the future.

Round 8 Qualifying -- Autopolis

Still, almost everybody was faster than Schutraber.

Fantastic qualifying from The Canadian there.

Also, may be a bit of a reach here, but is Mr Alan Schutraber a distant German relation to this forum's favourite spammer?

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 06 Feb 2018, 15:43

> Eileen McPherson
> Braking on a straight

Seems legit.

He indeed is.

It's been a little while, but don't fear! Your heavy-battling, wheel-rubbin, brake-outlockin', cars-reversing-into-the-racing-line fix of the Random Racing League is Here!

Round 8 -- Autopolis

AlphaRacer gives some sound advice, although I'm not sure it even knows what an imagination is:

While BattleRacer seems to be considering a career as a librarian if this racing malarkey doesn't work out:

Let me know if this is going for another season.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 13 Feb 2018, 16:30

Disappointed that John O. Groats didn't get a podium, let alone the win, given his strong performance. He would have paid many, many groats from his own pocket to have kept his podium.

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 13 Feb 2018, 17:00

First points, now unrejectification, might Jeletraz sneak a win in the last two rounds? :shock:

TomDilain · Post by **TomDilain** » 14 Feb 2018, 01:44

Oh wow, Antoine. Wow.

Aislabie · Post by **Aislabie** » 15 Feb 2018, 09:59

Amazingly, neither Franklin Strudwick nor Nikos Trevaskis even got mentioned in the race coverage. That must be some sort of record.

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 17 Feb 2018, 14:51

With Round 8 done, we only have two races left. Save for that USF2000 Macau event, we haven't had a truly chaotic event since.

I have a feeling, though, that might change pretty soon...

Round 9 Preview

This could well be the most EPIC round yet...

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 26 Feb 2018, 13:12

Qualifying is up. Mind you, this is nothing at all compared to the race, just to let you know.

I mean, qualifying is important, yes, but the race completely messes this up.

I mean, if you still want to see quali, here ya go.

Aislabie · Post by **Aislabie** » 26 Feb 2018, 14:24

Hopefully everyone's ready for Strudwick to go full John Watson here

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 04 Mar 2018, 08:13

This is it. The penultimate round of the championship. It's not as long of a recap as the other races, and you'll know why.

And so, everyone agreed never to use quadbikes again. Not because of the race result, but because Eileen McPherson was actually competent with them. Seriously, did she make something like, overtakes in this race? As in, plural?

Plural, yes. She did overtaken about as many times she actually overtook people, I believe, so I call it a net zero.

AlphaRacer seems to have his strategy sorted for the next time he DNFs:

While BattleRacer offers some thoughts, perhaps related to everyone's failure to finish:

Yofat Momma was just as competitive as I had expected. Not surprised either that Yofat Momma coudn't fit into the pit entry in the finale.

When's the next one?
