Not sure I get what you mean.

Lobby A had two of the three races where they were top lobby for points. We've done this reversal in every season we've run only this time we've randomised which of the remaining lobbies get the reversal.

Tonight, if anything, you were the victims of the TCCs success in that we had four lobbies running, meaning the points gap was greater than any other time we've used this method. Had it been lobby D that came up to become lobby A, you'd have become B and been up for good points. But under the old rules, lobby A would have automatically become lobby D, there was no randomisation.

We've said from the very beginning the middle lobbies are great for consistent points, and that's been proved tonight. But on another night, the luck may go a very different way. Regardless, lobby A results carry the biggest points hauls per race and that is worth fighting for.

Lobby D had it worst. we had minimal points in the first 2 races, and after the random generator, we only moved up one spot

why not.

go look up the words futile and frustrating. reflect on their meanings for a second. then reflect on the situation from my perspective. to qualify where i did. then in overall points finish behind someone that finished last in each of their lobby (no offense stonewall)

you even admitted we were "victims" of the success...the randomization could have gone any other way, but it didnt and so that is frustrating and to have the positions in the last race come down to a random roll of the dice can make the whole thing feel futile at times. given the situation and context, i think its warranted.

Well I really enjoyed tonight, Race 2 was epic, strated 6th and got past ck after fred tapped him out the way then got past fred and britracer in the same corner then was behind biggs for quite a few laps then finally got past him but could get past richs BMW.

Race 3 was just bad for me a minor semi roll and a major roll.

Vid of the minor semi roll.
