HSC17 Round 12: PITSTOP


Recommended Posts

Rookie 6 Laps:

Kyalami 3:27

 

Having forgotten what the flag man does, I immedately sent my car back to the track at the first pit stop and during the second I barely avoided overfilling had to go back to remove the tire changing crew. As clever as this was in the 1980s it clearly hasn't kept up with developments in F1 racing.... Or does that pit stop routine just feel more tedious to my 2020 self than to my 1985 teenage racing rookie. Given how little I am allowed to work these days I am not sure if I don't prefer work to playing Pitstop.

 

Had a quick go at Pitstop II to see if it's better but while it certainly looks better it feels a bit spongy, especially so during the Pitstops (although the split-screen pitstop is quite impressive). The sound feels even more like a souped-up sewing machine (maybe 2-stroke racing cars).

Nowadays I'm not sure refueling is even allowed in F1. A mistake I tend to do is to click on the driver to get away from the pitstop, which is how it works in P2 which got rid of one tire guy and the flag man.

 

I still wonder how @therealbountybob will score this round. One possible type of score would be 1/6 HSC points for each completed combination of difficulty, number of laps and course (max 9 HSC points), plus 1/2 HSC point for the best time on each course on the three main settings Rookie 3 laps, Semi-Pro 9 laps and Pro 9 laps (max 9 HSC points).

Rookie 6 Laps:

Jarama 3:56

 

Had a peek at Pole Position in between. When you qualify for e.g. 4th place and overtake all three cars that start in front of you, where in hell are the other cars on the track coming from ;)?

How about:

 

1st place on each race (rookie 3, 6 and 9 laps, semi pro 3,6,9 and pro 3,6,9) 4 points (theoretical 36 points)

2nd 3 points (27 points)

3rd 2 points (18 points)

4th to whatever number 1 point. (9 points)

 

or

 

3 1st place

2 2nd

2 3rd

1 the rest.

What is a "race" in this context? Every course (Le-Mans, Monaco etc) on its own or some kind of combination? We have 6 courses * 3 difficulty levels * 3 different number of laps = 54 combinations * 4 = max 216 points. That better not be HSC points, or otherwise it would be Game Over for everyone not participating in this round.

 

I can agree with your idea to award temporary points like that, perhaps 10-6-4-3-2-1 points. Then those are summarized and converted into HSC points, just like we do with multiple games in one round otherwise.

One type of combined scoring:

 

Endurance points: 1 pt per played combination of course, difficulty and number of laps.

 

RedThunder       54 pts
carlsson         18 pts
Deteacher         9
graywest          7
slx               5
Sikor             2
roadrunner        2

 

Points based on best times: Only counting the "competitive" courses = Rookie 3 Laps, Semi-Pro 9 Laps and Pro 9 Laps.

 

Using the same scale as in Pitstop II:

1st place = 9 pts

2nd place = 6 pts

3rd place = 4 pts

4th place = 3 pts

5th place = 2 pts

6th place = 1 pt

 

Monaco, 3 laps Rookie
1:43 carlsson      7
1:43 RedThunder    7
1:44 Sikor         3
1:44 slx           3
2:00 graywest      2
2:02 Deteacher     1
2:07 roadrunner    0

Le-Mans, 3 laps Rookie
1:13 RedThunder    9
1:14 Sikor         5
1:14 slx           5
1:15 carlsson      3
1:19 graywest      2
1:25 Deteacher     1
1:33 roadrunner    0

Kyalami, 3 laps Rookie
1:18 RedThunder    9
1:19 carlsson      6
1:25 graywest      4
1:29 Deteacher     3

Albi, 3 laps Rookie
1:08 RedThunder    9
1:09 carlsson      6
1:13 graywest      4
1:15 Deteacher     3

Jarama, 3 laps Rookie
1:38 carlsson      7
1:38 RedThunder    7
1:46 graywest      4
1:50 Deteacher     3

St. Jovite, 3 laps Rookie
1:19 RedThunder    9
1:21 carlsson      6
1:20 slx           4
1:31 Deteacher     3
1:32 graywest      2

Monaco, 9 laps Semi-Pro
6:23 RedThunder    9
6:43 carlsson      6
7:11 Deteacher     4

Le-Mans, 9 laps Semi-Pro
4:42 carlsson      9
4:43 RedThunder    6

Kyalami, 9 laps Semi-Pro
4:52 carlsson      9
5:03 RedThunder    6

Albi, 9 laps Semi-Pro
4:19 carlsson      9
4:20 Deteacher     6
5:06 RedThunder    4

Jarama, 9 laps Semi-Pro
4:50 Deteacher     9
6:05 carlsson      6
6:08 RedThunder    4

St. Jovite, 9 laps Semi-Pro
5:01 carlsson      9
5:06 RedThunder    6

Monaco, 9 laps Pro
7:22 carlsson      9
7:30 RedThunder    6

Le-Mans, 9 laps Pro
5:02 carlsson      9
5:28 RedThunder    6

Kyalami, 9 laps Pro
5:17 carlsson      9
5:35 RedThunder    6

Albi, 9 laps Pro
4:32 carlsson      9
5:23 RedThunder    6

Jarama, 9 laps Pro
6:55 carlsson      9
7:09 RedThunder    6

St. Jovite, 9 laps Pro
5:17 carlsson      9
6:40 RedThunder    6

 

It would give this summary:

 

RedThunder 175 pts (54 4 4 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 9 9 9 9 9) = 12 HSC points

carlsson 155 pts (18 3 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9) = 11 HSC points

Deteacher 42 pts (9 1 1 3 3 3 3 4 6 9) = 10 HSC points

graywest 25 pts (7 2 2 2 4 4 4) = 9 HSC points
slx 17 pts (5 3 4 5) = 8 HSC points
Sikor 10 pts (2 3 5) = 7 HSC points
roadrunner 2 pts (2 0 0) = 6 HSC points

This has been a fun, although strange round with the confusion about which settings to use and how the scoring will turn out. I'd suggest more HSC players give it a go, at least a few 3 lap races to get onto the scoreboard. Last round we still had 16 participants, now we're currently down to 7.

IMO this is  case for one vote only. Makes your game choice more considered.

 

Fun round though. Even so, with the scoring complications.

Had a bash on 9lap pro grand circuit, first race went ok with 2 stops 4:51

I just realized that even on Grand Circuit, the order of the 6 races is randomized, just like the section of 3 courses is randomized on the Mini-Circuit. Would you happen to remember which course you successfully finished? Not that it matters that much, your time would be the fastest on all courses except Albi.

Sorry no I didn;t spot it, then it crashed on race 2. Probably 9 laps Pro is good for anthother time as you can do 3, 2 stops or 1 and a splash and dash in theory, not sure if you can nurse the fuel to make a 1 stop on lap 5, I ran out of fuel playing normally when trying this on my first go!

Yes, I found that finishing a race with only 2 stops was challenging on Pro.

 

Anyway, I think this is a fair summary of this round.

 

Endurance points: 1 pt per played combination of course, difficulty and number of laps. Maximum 54 points.

 

RedThunder       54 pts
carlsson         18 pts
Deteacher         9
graywest          7
roadrunner        6
slx               5
therealbountybob  4
Sikor             2

 

Race points: Only counting the "competitive" courses: Rookie 3 Laps, Semi-Pro 9 laps and Pro 9 laps. Using the same points system as in Pitstop II:

 

1st place = 9 pts

2nd place = 6 pts

3rd place = 4 pts

4th place = 3 pts

5th place = 2 pts

6th place = 1 pt
