I like the recaps, makes it more interesting than a couple of colorful charts.

OK - I will carry on, but I may write it after I post the results sometimes.

I like to read them, for me its more "colourful" than just posting results and then just look what place you got. (for those who read it, it doesn't really take much time, maximum 1 min)

I enjoy going over the results and doing a summary

@Kevin: I also enjoy to read your analysis. It adds a bit of color to the colorful tables.

Am I missing something or is there a SRS stockpiling race going on, between Dominik, George and Stefan?

Here's a statistical leaderboard that you probably don't want to find yourself on (sorry Bernardus):





Also of note:

In the history of the game, there have been 6 races with 1st place ties including Race 1 this season. 4 of those 6 races occurred in Season 3 and the other two ties were in the 1st races of S2 & S4.....

I love your stats, they usually are interesting. Unfortunately, this one reflects how terribly I've been spending my SRS...

However, we could have those records broken if the top SRS gatherer was to dump them out in the next race, even with me going all-in.

I don't know how much work it would be but how about:

Highest SRS used scoring 0 points,
Most points finishes in a row,
Most podiums in a row.

Something like these. :)

Most of that can be seen in the season recap posts, unless you're looking for all-time records.

Sounds good - not sure how I missed that. I've been using the same note since the beginning.

Really? I'm so disillusioned now. I'd assumed you sat there and typed up individual messages for each competitor leaving that personal touch.


But seriously, don't stop putting in the recap for the races. I'd happily wait an extra 20 mins for them (especially considering that I'm never on for when the post is made anyway :p)

RACE 10 RESULTS

George O. takes the win by a wide margin. Unfortunate for him to 'waste' so much SRS and it looks like he adds his name to the record books as was just presented after last race: /gb/forum/ViewTopic.asp?TopicId=24269&PostId=3393893#post3393893 Jason M. & Jaime E. use all of their SRS to claim 2nd and 3rd respectively. Well done to Jaime for just barely nipping out the next 2 players. There was only 1 person (Tomás N.) to score points and have a minor SRS gain - I'm not sure if it was worth it. For those conserving SRS, there were 2 sweet spots and 4 players managed to finish at +9 SRS. Spending 0 SRS would have been optimal as you could have gained +10 SRS.





SEASON STANDINGS

On the season, Martynas B. jumps into the lead at 42 points which is 2 ahead of the next 2 players. One of those just behind the leader is Igor A., who now finds himself in a very good position with extra SRS versus his competitors. Turi B. is a little further back but has extra SRS to spend. With only 7 races to go, we head into the home stretch and we will know our S4 winner in 2 weeks from today!





TEAM STANDINGS

Copersucar now moves into the lead amongst the teams however you'd have to think that Force India and Eagle are both happy with their positions:





RACE 11 DEADLINE is SUNDAY OCTOBER 26TH @ 23:00CET

Phew! At least I can now see my name in some kind of "record-book"! Lol.

Edit: sorry lads, not updated yet. Hopefully, my name should be there by the time you read this.

I wasn't intending to change it until after the end of the season when I will update everything. BUT, since you are so excited I will change that shortly. :)
