Driver’s Contest II – Quarterfinals Preparations

Last week the Eliminations Stage of the on-going Driver’s Contest began. This stage is now over, and as most of you know the eight best of all participants move on to the Quarterfinals. Here’s a list of the players who passed, sorted by best time:

  1. Zooz – 00:52.35
  2. Zeo – 00:52.74
  3. Low_B – 00:53.14
  4. Buchi – 00:53.20
  5. Dec – 00:53.28
  6. CubicReg – 00:53.41
  7. -Homie- – 00:53.54
  8. JakeOIL, Sk84funPrzemo, Kellerkind – 00:53.65*

*As three people had this time, a tie-breaker race is held. The three people in question must re-race the track, trying to improve their time. If one of the participants fail to improve their time, it is possible to send in a slower time – as long as it’s a new one, it’s accpted. The best of the three earns the 8th spot!

Congratulations to those who moved on to the QF :D You can download a replay of the race here!

Now, according to schedule, today was meant to be the start of the quarterfinals, but we’re doing a little change to this, pushing the start by two days. The new schedule looks like this:

  • 2nd to 5th of May: Sign-up
  • 6th to 10th of May: Eliminations stage
  • 11th to 13th of May: Preparations and tie-breaker race
  • 14th to 18th of May: Quarterfinals
  • 19th to 23rd of May: Semi-finals
  • 24th to 28th of May: Finals
  • Between 29th and 31st: Results

In other words, no racing starts today. Instead, all participants who are listed above (those who got through the elimination) must e-mail Jozii@pp.inet.fi stating the five environments they would most like to race on.The environment must be listed in order of preferance and will be used when selecting the tracks to race ;)

If you are one of the eight and do not send a list, you will no longer be able to affect what tracks you’ll have to race.

    Sorry but for me it isn’t justly :/
    I also have 53:65. How you can compare this time? I have the same time. ;(

  2. Sk84funPrzemo Says:

    It doesen’t matter who was on the lead. 53:65 is 53:65 :( (

  3. Zooz Says:

    Yes, I think it’s a bit lame, maybe doing a really good end is more skillful than driving average all of the run.

    gg Zeo, let’s make it an all-CMC final ^^

  4. Jozii Says:

    I’m afraid your right. Therefore a tie-breaker race is held. The three of you (KellerKind, Przemo and JakeOIL must try to improve your time on the track. If you can’t, you must send in a new replay anyway, even if the time is slower than 00:53.65. As long as it’s a new replay it’s accepted :D

    The winner get’s the last spot… and you have only two days, so hurry up!

  5. JakeOIL Says:

  8. CMCZeo Says:

    Przemo is still fighting, Zooz is here, so it would be cool that the TrackManiacs i know well will play further. :) It would also be so funny if 2 CMC members will pass to the final. :)

  9. CMCZeo Says:
