Awesome, and well written commentary!
Now I just have to figure out what to do with all those credits, perhaps i'll re-invest on next years race.
I just smiled right through the results post.
That was brilliant! Thank you
Same time next week?

A possible ammendment: Deadheats should be very rare. On crossing the finish line racers on equal points are examined with a photo finish. A photo finish allows the tied racers one more dice roll to add a XX.x to their finished time. No modifiers (strengths or weaknesses) are used in a photo finish.
e.g. Sideswipe is tied with another racer on 28 points after the race. Sideswipe's photo finish roll is produces a 4. Sideswipe's total changes to 28.4 points.

Brilliant idea, too bad I saw it too late and didnt have a punt!
What a great idea! When's the next race?
More like same time next year! With cup day only a month and some away I thought I'd give everyone a heads up that the Europe 2014 will be going ahead with a new course and some new racers. Keep and eye out in Rewind's Games Room for more updates!
Unfortunately I'm gonna have to break this promise this year me-from-the-past. I was planning a far better 'game' where people could buy their own racers and customise them with their winnings but between moving and that troublesome life-stuff it looks like I will not have the time.
Here's a quick summary of last years winnings which are still valid for use this year:
Bartrim: 175 credits
Trent: 175 credits
Ultramarginal: 140 credits
Like last year all other new (or broke) punters will recieve 50 credits to make their bets
Glad to hear this is going ahead in 2014! Imo, simple works best and what was done in 2013 was perfect.
Shameless plug: Perfect.. except reducing the % of dead heats that can occur at end of the final leg but you know my thoughts above

I'll post my ideas for improvements.
Give me real money for my winnings
