The Random Racing League -- Season 1 FINALE

Deepmind have programmed both AlphaRacer and BattleRacer to choose a quote at random after each race in reflection of the day.

Deepmind AlphaRacer wrote:The Marxians love of democratic institutions was a stratagem only, a pious fraud for the deception of the masses. Within a socialist community there is no room left for freedom.

Deepmind BattleRacerr wrote:What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching?

Most enlightening.

Well, round 1 is over, we all made it back from 1960's Tasmania safely (somehow). But now, Round 2 is on the horizon, so let's see what Round 2 has in store for us...

Round 2 Preview!

I was excited when it says it's gonna be an oval track.

But then,

100% rain. Lord have mercy.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 26 Nov 2017, 15:31

I have seen a wet oval race in real life before. The drivers survived, as did the pick-up trucks.

Pack your umbrellas, boys and girls, we're heading straight into the storm cloud...

Round 2 Qualifying -- Brookdale

Could've ended up in the wall, somehow my "Ultra No" turned into an "Average Joe"

TomDilain · Post by **TomDilain** » 27 Nov 2017, 14:28

Antoine's Ultra No turned into Ultra Pro.

Wow.

Didn't see that coming in a wet quali, thought he was gonna be shite. At least Karen isn't last again.

For Franklin Strudwick to get points in a wet race is a most pleasant surprise. Also good to see that Trevaskis remains pointless.

Malcolm in the Middle of the Pack would be a tad optimistic by the sounds of it. I wondered what happened to his motor racing career. That explains it.

Open wheel you say? Sounds like Williams Numberone's time to shine.

Oh God, thank goodness for 0% damage.
But still, this'll be a walking disaster.

BREAKING NEWS

Apparently Frankie Muniz doesn't like being mocked for his racing career. As a result, he has completely revoked the use of Formula BMW cars from the Random Racing League for the forseeable future until he can either drive better or actually GET an acting gig to distract him from suing the RRL.

-----

The Muniz thing is a joke, yeah. What actually happened is that, for some reason, I can't set up any AI Drivers with the Formula BMW cars. As a result, there'll be no Formula BMW race at Macau.

What now?

Well, I basically re-spun the wheel to see which series could replace it's spot at Macau, with the 0% Damage still holding up. I just swapped out Formula BMW for a similar calibre of open-wheel racers, and the wheel was re-spun...

Mmhmm. USF2000 was the exact car that took over FBMW's spot, and straightaway it's been chosen. Looks like it's gonna be a similar race...

...though from my test race, USF2000 is WAY more chaotic than FBMW. Oh be joyful.

The question isn't "Can Eileen McPherson hang on to her qualifying position", it's "Will anyone suffer the ignominy of being overtaken by her as she inevitably tumbles down the order?"

Still, I'm glad that in this randomised series, the one constant is that my drivers are always dreadful. :lol:

Now is the race you've all been wishing for. Car-carrying and Crashy Kink's galore, this is...

I rolled the car and I still managed to win? Can't complain about that at all.

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 07 Dec 2017, 10:50

Yes! Even in a race where everyone is dreadful, both my drivers managed to be especially awful!

Aislabie · Post by **Aislabie** » 07 Dec 2017, 11:04

Just imagine how short that race could have been if there was actually damage on

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 07 Dec 2017, 11:58

That race was so action-packed, it should have been red-flagged at the end of lap 2...

My intentions of only using quotes from Murray Walker's commentary on F1 97 in this thread have been shattered by that race. How on god's earth do you explain any of it?

Special mention for my boy Numberone, in a race full of spazzes, it takes something special to stand out. He stood out.

This Could Be You · Post by **This Could Be You** » 07 Dec 2017, 22:56

So, thanks to that first lap crash, my driver is now last in the series. I guess it finally answers the question "What is Jeletraz doing? - failing's what he's doing.

And yes, I've been trying to shoehorn that in for ages (and it really should be "What is Jeletraz Joing?" but that isn't a word)

You sure Murray had no quotes ready in case a driver carried another for a solid 500 metres? Or the leader rolling and winning? Or cars making love with their nosecones?

tfw you have to sift through 100+ screenshots of derpy AI's in Macau and sort them in a chronological order based off their thumbnails...

dr-baker wrote:Here's a Formula Ford example of the incident between John O. Groats and Williams Number One. Thank goodness this was a zero damage race...!

Rookies. They barely lasted a turn. Your driver managed to ferry another car up a hillside. O Groats still owes NumberOne taxi fare, though. It's an offence in Singapore to do con a cab, and it's likely the case in Macau too.

-------------------------

Aaaaanyway, it's been quite a while since the last race, mostly because I've been distracted practicing for my driving license, celebrating my birthday and playing Doki Doki Literature Club (seriously, PLAY IT).

But now, I've scraped out some to serve to you on a nice, hot dish...

Touring car racing with crap all aggression? That's not how things should work. That said, we just had open-wheelers with no damage...

CarloSpace · Post by **CarloSpace** » 14 Dec 2017, 16:01

I see you have "Insane wind" option on your condition wheel . As far as I know, the wind in rF2 doesn't affect anything - yet. It is there but the cars don't care about it. Correct me if I'm wrong..

And well don Antoine! Hope you deliver the same performance on the race day.

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 17 Dec 2017, 14:09

Well, that was disappointing as far as John O. Groats was concerned. No publicity whatsoever. Not a single mention! And 17th on the grid wasn't great either.
