NORH RACE GENERAL RH RACE
|
27 Jun 18.40 - Advanced level The name of this track doesn’t let doubts: it’s really a serious trial for NORH drivers. To avoid soon any misunderstanding, it’s good to say that it won’t present “impossible” tracts or hard difficulties so to make the race too much tiring. But drivers will have to put their experience and ability to govern their Indy in three distinct and very different sectors. In the first they will have to “dance” with their car driving in a kind of “Special Slalom” of ski between some tunnels (no shortcuts are availing…). So in this funny tract (but maybe not all have the same thought…;-) ) 2nd gear will be used so much according with accelerator. Second sector will be dedicated to the Powergear. No fear: PG will be easily reachable and quite easy to keep, but it won’t so easy to individuate the point of brake…. A drastical change of speed will introduce in the last sector where high speed (no PG, I think, too much risks trying to reach it) will have to keep until the last decisive brake to insert the car in the tunnels that lead at the finish. Yes, drivers will really take part at an advanced level NORH race, and the show will be sure great: stay with us! |
27 Jun 18.40 - A real total drive experience Here it is the 2nd Indy race of SDR season (the 3rd and last will be obviously at the end)! It’s a very hard track with many different tracts where the sensibility of the drivers will make the difference. The track is characterized from three distinct and quite different Powergear tracts. Two of them should be very special, personally I never see in other tracks what drivers will have to do at 245 mph. Did you jump previously on a long bridge or on a up/down corkscrek starting from the lowest terrain level? Maybe not… But if I’m wrong, please correct me! Anyway the winner won’t have only to manage perfectly his car in these PG tracts. There will be four “no-PG” tracts where drivers will have to race with all their ability to make a valid performance. Above all the 3rd of “no-PG” tracts is very hard and engaging, resulting almost surely funny and dazzling for all the competitors. And we can't forget the final. Arriving at 245 mph it won’t be so easy to choose the right trajectory to insert your car in a short but very bad hairpin tract… The whole track will result a real total drive experience … try to believe it! |

24 Jun 16.30 - Mark defeats Chulk's attack, but a new star is born!! After 2 consecutive victories by Chulk, Mark L. Rivers comes back to win defeating the attack of his biggest opponent, but the real news which shakes the NORH race world is another one: thunderous performance by Duplode who conquers the 2nd place with a fantastic race that has lead him only at 0"20 to the victory!! After the race of the brazilian driver is difficult not to say that a new star is born, and sure the leaders of the contest will have to make the counts with him in the rest of the season! Let's check some details of the race now. Duplode was the best at 1st and 3rd intermediates while Mark was the best at 2nd and 4th. So the race has remained in balance for all the track, and only some little hesitances in the two dirt final curves have impeded him to win! Chulk realized the fastest 4th section but he lost too much centiseconds in the previous ones to hope in the victory. About Krys TOFF (4th at the end without improvemets cause no time to race), he showed his known potential in last section, realizing the 3rd time, very near to the best drivers. We hope he could have more time next race! About the general classification with the 3rd victory of the season Mark L. Rivers pushes back the Chulk's attack who was in strong rescue and, thanks to the 2nd place got by Duplode, the vantage of the leader rises to 5,5 points. Not very much being at half season, but sure an oxygen mouthful for Mark that leads him to see in a best way the 5 races remaining. Bonus point will be sure important and the fight for them will become hot! Next race will start next Sunday and it will be the 2nd Indy race of the season: who will want to lose the possibility to lustre his own eyes watching the wonderful show offered by a great NORH race? |
24 Jun 16.30 - The leader lunges! 2nd victory in a row for Mark L. Rivers who lunges in general classification! The italian driver raced very fast (above all in 1st and 3rd section) succeeding to precede on the podium CTG (fastest 2nd section) and a retrieved Krys TOFF! The hungarian driver didn't send improvements (was he at his best yet or too much engaged with other contests...? ;) ) while the french driver has caught just in the last minutes (as usual) his 4th podium ever in RH-SDR! Just after the podiumers, we find the more and more consistent Duplode: 4th place in his first SDR RH race with the fastest 4th section, great! The two "Meganium's" driver close the classification with Chulk 5th (no improvement for him since 2nd checkpoint) and AbuRaf70 6th (good final improvement that lead him very near at his teammate). A bit disappoint not to see other "Damage's" drivers, SuperBrian and Paleke, who could make more interesting the gage in Team classification, where MeganiuM High Aces leads with only 16 points just on Damage Inc. About Driver classification, as aforesaid Mark L. Rivers lunges, but we are only at half season. Five drivers can still aspire to the final victory, above all Chulk who have only a gap of 12 points. But sure hot becomes the challenge for the final podium after the rescue of CTG and Krys TOFF on AbuRaf70, by now hounded. And now stop for a week. We'll come back next Sunday, the 1st July, with the 2nd Indy race of this year (the 3rd will be the last of the season). Track will be very, very spectacular and the show will be great! A short description of the race is expected for next wednesday: stay with us! ;) |
|
17 Jun 20.00 - Hard battle for the win! Three new improvements by three different drivers: the battle for the win becomes really hard! Mark L. Rivers gets the 1st provisional place with a very strong time: 1'16"00. Unique disappoint for him is not to have reached (for only 0"25...) the time which could mean a whole bonus point. Behind the italian we find a driver who is not by now a surprise: Duplode! The brazilian driver, who can really fight for the victory, improves (0"40) his previous time overtaking Chulk, slided at 3rd provisional place, not having raced in last week. But we are sure that the argentinian ace won't miss to send an usual thunderous time for the finish, trying to complete his rescue in the championship! And finally, outset by Krys TOFF: his first shot is quite far from the vertex with a not very pushed lap, but "Abandon" is a track which permits to improve quite easily and we'll almost surely find the french driver with a very fast time at the end. And if CTG would decide to take part to the race as the last one, the final would become really dazzling! |
17 Jun 20.00 - Mark L. Rivers replies to CTG! A new leading time but a change at vertex: Mark L. Rivers pushed hard is Porsche 962 until 55"20 getting the 1st provisional place! So the italian driver overtakes Chulk (no improvement for him but still 3rd) and CTG who tried to keep the lead lowering his previous time about 1", but not enough to beat the new provisional leader who gets a bonus point too. Behind the podiumers, AbuRaf70 hooks Duplode reaching his same time: hot duel in last week between them!. And at 6th place we find Krys TOFF, 0"25 behind the southamerican couple, with a very fast outset (leading time at 1st CP was only 0"30 better) . And now, last week of race! Who will be able to put his wheels ahead all? Will Mark L. Rivers succeed to keep his 1st provisional place in the championship? Or will Chulk succeed to return to the head of the contest? And what about CTG? Will he succeed to get his 2nd victory in the season keeping alive his chances for the final victory? Next Sunday we'll know all the answers! |

16 Jun 16.20 - Update delayed Update for 3rd checkpoint will be done with a little delay time (Sunday night or Monday). Deadline is not postponed. |

10 Jun 15.10 - Chulk takes the lead but the challenge is really open! Chulk comes back to the lead redeeming his forced dull performance of previous checkpoint! Convictive race for the argentinian champion (must he convince anyone...?) who establishes the new limit: 1'17"70. But, behind him, a more and more consistent Duplode: only for 0"10 the brazilian driver has not succeeding to remain at lead! So, for this little gap, he didn't catch the additional 2 bonus points (with other one catched last week now he could have 3 bonus point yet...) but only other 0,5. He can anyway be content for his great performance! A bit less Mark L. Rivers, who is the real tonked of this week: reaching "only" 1'18"15 (not very "lucky" strategy...) he doesn't get any bonus point sliding at 3rd provisional place. But the race is still long, appearing very balanced and open, and it will be sure more when Krys TOFF will join: we have said last week: strong emotions ahead us! |
10 Jun 15.10 - CTG is pushing hard is right pedal! Strong outset by CTG who realizes a very fast time reaching easily the 1st provisional place! The hungarian champion conquers 1 bonus point leading with over 2" on Chulk (0,5 bonus point for him) and over 3" on Mark L. Rivers. But behind all them, Duplode and AbuRaf70 are closing to the minute barrier with very significative improvements. Anyway, all drivers engaged since the 1st week of race lowered over 3% their firsts time, and this means an high intentness. Waiting for Damage Inc. drivers (Krys TOFF, SuperBrian, Paleke) and other ones, we are now projecting on last checkpoint! Will CTG succeed to lower again his great time so to get others bonus points? Chulk, Mark L. Rivers or others will succeed to overtake him so to impede him to get other 2 bonus points? And what about the southamerican challenge between Duplode and AbuRaf70? Who will put his wheels ahead his opponent? 7 days to the replies! |
|
03 Jun 15.35 - Duplode leads the contest at checkpoint 1 !! Great result by Duplode who leads the contest at 1st checkpoint!! Very fast lap by the brazilian driver who conquers 1 bonus point preceding Mark L. Rivers (almost 1" his gap but 0,5 bonus point) and Chulk (over 4" with a listfiller video sent in the only short moment he could go down on the track). And now it will be interesting to know what it will happen at next checkpoint: does Duplode succeed to remain at lead conquering other 2 bonus points? Or will Mark and above all Chulk want to fix their leadership in current championship? Will Krys TOFF join next week with a faster time? Well, it seems a race that will give us strong emotions! |
03 Jun 15.35 - 4 drivers on the track, Chulk ahead all! In this firsts 62 hours, 4 drivers on the track and a very strong time yet by Chulk! The argentinian driver leads with 1'01"60 ahead Mark L. Rivers (2nd) AbuRaf70 (3rd) and Duplode who starts is adventure on SDR RH contest! While we're waiting other drivers join in next week, we can say that sure Chulk seems to be intentioned to stay ahead all since from the beginning to the end, but will his first time permit him to catch many other bonus points? If it will be so, he'll sure can re-overtake Mark in general classification... So it will be very difficult for the italian to calculate which time he must be reach at next checkpoint... Well, we know it next Sunday! Stay with us! |

31 May 23.10 - Gentlemen, start your engines! And remember: only 62 hours to the 1st checkpoint! |

30 May 08.00 - New chapter of a great adventure: "Abandon"! Abandoned buildings, abandoned roads, abandoned bridges. World is sadly full of these uncompleted works. But sometimes, they offer a suggestive scenery where to stage an absorbing Stunts race! It’s sure so for the new SDR challenge entirely dedicated to NORH racing: “Abandon”! What kind of track will it be? A track a bit long than previous, but easier, above all in the first 15”. What will this mean? In “Smart”, after the jumps serial at the beginning, a driver knew immediately if it was futile to continue his race, and maybe he interrupted it a lot of times even if he had not risked. In “Abandon” there will be a crucial passage around 20”, but, differently from “Smart”, it will result FATAL only if a driver will push very hard (and not simply for the choice of the trajectory, not always easy to guess). In other words, it will be the risk that a driver will take (and not simply the track) to determine the prosecution of the race. So this race will be very suitable in order to approach the half of the season! The challenge for the title would seem by now restricted to Chulk and Mark L. Rivers, exactly like last year. But all can still be written! So this race will give us some important answers: will current leader be able to defeat the Chulk’s rescue? Or, after two subsequent victories, will Chulk become the new leader of the contest? Will other drivers’ results affect the challenge for the title? Who will be on the podium at the end of the season? How will bonus point affect the final score? Remembering that there will be only 62 hours between Start and the 1st checkpoint, drivers have only to jump very soon on their Porsche 962, driving through some modern ruins until the finish…. but without crashes and fast, very fast! |
30 May 08.00 - Who want to climb on final podium? "Tetris" will help us to know it! We are going to arrive at the half of the championship and it’s time to do some considerations just before R5, a race that tell us more clearly who want to climb on final podium, especially on the tallest step. Looking the general classification, we can see a couple of drivers, Chulk and Mark L. Rivers, who are leading the season with about ten points on AbuRaf70, about 20 points on Krys TOFF and 25-30 points on CTG (2 races missed), SuperBrian and Zak McKracken (2 races missed). More detached Paleke and Sergio Baro. What can we said about? Well, with 6 tracks still to race and a bonus points system that can permit to gain until 21 points in a unique race (AbuRaf70 learns!), there are sure possibilities for many drivers to win the title. Moreover, all could encounter some suddens missing one or more races, and this could easily change the classification. So, all the firsts 6 in classification can really still aspire to the final victory, but next race maybe could be the last chance for some of them to remain on the train for the title. appropriately, next race won’t be marked from a specific quality or characteristic but it will include 4 different sections really engaging whereto it will need a different quality for everyone of them: fluency for the 1st one, acrobatics for the 2nd one, speed for the 3rd one and steering for the last one. This should make a very balanced race not favouring any driver in order of his own characteristics. Who will be able to match all the components so to succeed to make a “perfect line”? Remembering that there will be only 62 hours between Start and the 1st checkpoint, jump inside your Porsche 962 and demonstrate how you are able to play at “Tetris”! |
|
27 May 16.30 - Chulk the master wins a great race! A great race constitutes a great garnish for the winner, Chulk, again on the tallest step of the podium! Great victory for the argentinian champion who don't need to improve his monster-time in last week: first in every intermediate, fantastic 3rd section (as last race)! And now only 1 point divide him from the vertex in general classification! But all 5 drivers (CTG joined in last week, a very pleasent surprise!) made really a great race: only 4" between the 1st and the 5th! On the podium, with Chulk, Mark L. Rivers (2nd, making a very big effort to approach the leader until 0"60) and a big surprise, Duplode: wonderful performance for the brazilian (2"65 his final gap and fastest 2nd section) who conquers his first podium in his first race, a new Lewis Hamilton! But very good perfomances for Krys TOFF and CTG too, with the french driver who succeed to beat his old hungarian teammate for only 0"40: great challenge and big show between these two great drivers! And big show in this NORH race thanks to the participation of all fantastic drivers who are keeping alive this specialty! We hope that all them will take part at next dazzling challenge on board at their Porsche 962: "Abandon"! See you soon with a short description of the track which will be active from the 1st June! |
27 May 16.30 - Mark L. Rivers, first time in SDR! And finally Mark L. Rivers wins in the unique active contest where he still had not won! Sure an happy victory for the italian driver who has reached a very fast time in last week: 1'03"70! The podium is completed by two great protagonists: Chulk and CTG! The argentinian driver (overtook in general classification by Mark) raced very fast in firsts 2 sections but an original race choice in section 2 (he results the only driver to have choosen it) didn't permit him to approach very fast the last part of the race, and so he left many precious centiseconds: + 1"20 only in section 3. The hungarian driver was 3rd (only 0"25 the gap) at 2nd intermediate, but a very strange race choice in section 3 (he didn't cut like all other drivers the hill just before the 3rd intermediate) lead him to lose some seconds and the speed necessary to make a fast final part. After the podiumers, we find AbuRaf70 and SuperBrian, with the argentinian ahead the danish for only 0"35: a challenge which seems a wink to their previous dazzling duels! (Just a precisation: SuperBrian had sent another time before 3rd checkpoint (Spam folder, I didn't see it, sorry...) but that time don't affect the present and the past classification). 6th is Krys TOFF who didn't improve his time realized in 1st week: we hope to see him very active, together all others, in next absorbing challenge which will start the 1st June: "Tetris"! Will you be able to play it...? ;-) |
|
20 May 20.15 - Big activity, a super-Chulk and a pleasant new entry! Five times in a week, a result like no other since a long time! This is the first comment of this week, but it's not the only one to be mentioned, because we are all upright for others two great news: standing ovation for Chulk and his stratospheric 1'01"00 and a festive welcome for Duplode, new absolute entry for SDR and NORH race! Yes, the argentinian specialist has been really great, realizing a monster-lap which gives him another whole bonus point and the provisional (definitive?) lead, great! But really a big acclaim too for the brazilian driver who has sent two video in last week reaching a very good 1'05"60 conquering the provisional podium: we sure will hear again about him on this stage! But we have to talk now about two other improvements even if not very large: Mark L. Rivers lowers his time until 1'02"65 and Krys TOFF until 1'06"10. Both chase the opponent ahead them: will they succeed to catch them? How will it be the final classification? Sure an intense week is waiting all the drivers engaged: stay with us, stay with the big show! |
20 May 20.15 - All (excluding AbuRaf70) keep covered their cards... Only AbuRaf70 on the track for this checkpoint: good improvement and provisional podium for him! The argentinian driver lowers again his time reaching a good 1'12"40, and only for 0"90 he didn't succeed to take 0,5 bonus point. All other drivers have evidently decided not to take part at the race in this week so not to discovered their potential. Sure, they have sacrified the possibilities to get other bonus point but in this way they didn't provide any indication about the limit they are able to reach. So last week will be very exciting! Sure more drivers are able to lower current limit (1'09"30) but who will win the race? Will Chulk mantain the lead in the championship? Or will Mark L. Rivers succeed to overtake him? And AbuRaf70, 3rd in general classification? Will he get another great performance giving us another big emotion? But we can sure expect high performances from others, beginning from Krys TOFF and CTG, who declared in the forum to have overtook yet current leading time... Well, there are enough reasons to wait with tasted expectancy the finish! |
|
13 May 15.15 - Strong time by Chulk but Mark L. Rivers leads again! Chulk irrupts on the track with a very fast time, but not enough to catch a whole bonus point: Mark L. Rivers succeeds to stay ahead him lowering over 1"50 his previous time! Great outset by the argentinian champion who stops the chronometer at 1'03"80. Predicting a strong time by Chulk and to avoid he could catch too much bonus points, Mark L. Rivers had lowered yet his time twice: before 1'03"55 and then 1'02"90. Great time by the italian driver, enough to defeat the Chulk's attack, but not enough to conquer other bonus points: in fact for only 0"35 he didn't succed to lower his time over 3%, and so he must be content only to limit the score of his opponent. And now it's beginning a new week of race. It's appeare impossible for Mark he could conquer other bonus points. But sure this is possible for the others, leader permitting, sure...! |
13 May 15.15 - Change at vertex, great activity and outset by Chulk! A new leader at 2nd checkpoint, great activity by AbuRaf70 and SuperBrian, and outset by Chulk: the race enters in a interesting phase! Mark L. Rivers improves decidedly his time (-7,72%) and conquers 1 bonus point leading the provisional classification and smashing 70" barrier. But behind him SuperBrian lowers consistently his time (-4,31%) getting other 0,5 bonus point: really motivated the danish driver, 2nd with a little gap, only 2". Third provisional place catched by Chulk: outset quite strong with 1'13"20. And finally AbuRaf70 overtakes Krys TOFF (no improvement for the french driver, we will wait him at next checkpoint ;) ) improving 6 times his time: now he's 4th reducing remarkably his gap, with his usual tenacity! OK, again 7 days and we'll have a more clear idea about the potential of the drivers. And sure we'll know who will be able to catch the last bonus point at stake! |
|
06 Mag 15.15 - A "Smart" duel! A "Smart" duel: Mark L. Rivers and Krys TOFF soon on the track researching the right strategy! For the moment the italian gets 1 bonus point resulting 2" faster than the french (0,5 bnouspoints), but maybe leading time is too much fast to be easily lowered at next checkpoint... So Krys will have more possibilities to get a whole bonus point next Sunday! Anyway, we sure are waiting Chulk: what kind of time will he reach at his outset...? |
06 Mag 19.40 - SuperBrian ahead all! Very fast time by SuperBrian who conquers the first bonus point at stake racing very hard: really great! The more and more consistent danish driver precedes Mark L. Rivers for 0"50 and his teammate Krys TOFF (2"05). A bit distanced the fresh winner AbuRaf70, who seems find some problems to individuate the best path through the switches. But, as we know, we will find him very near to the others from the next checkpoint yet... ;-) |
|
|
06 Mag 15.15 - Technical problems.... A strange technical problem is impeding to race administration to read the replays received. Race Direction is trying to resolve the problem. Update is postponed, really sorry. |
|
30 Apr 20.00 - Gentlemen, start your engines... ... and be "Smart"!
|
30 Apr 20.00 - Gentlemen, start your engines... ... and remember: it's a Stunts track, not a railway! |
|
29 Apr 19.00 - The return of the master! Nothing to do against a great Chulk!! The master of last season returns to the victory with a superb victory, improving furtherly his time until 1'01"10!! Behind him, we find his wonted opponent, Mark L. Rivers (2nd), who didn't succeed to improve his previous time (1'02"20), and then a good Krys TOFF (3rd) with 1'07"30! As we know, he could race only in last 5 days, so his time is really appreciable. Checking the analysis, we can see how the argentinian champion has built his victory in section 2, where he succeeded to reach the powergear at the corkscrew. Mark didn't reach it, and two very fast section (1st and 3rd) haven't succeed to fill the big gap accumuled in section 2 (+ 1"65). Anyway, Chulk made a fast last section "jumping" last tunnel: great idea! And now Chulk reduces his gap in general classification: only 4,5 points from the vertex. No other drivers again. But it's not time to talk about it, maybe we could do it in next future. Now it's time to present the new dazzling challenge living it inside your Melange! You know the car, it doesn’t need presentation: speed, grip, steering. In a word: smart. You know what kind of driver SDR needs: fast, able, imaginative. In a word: smart. You don’t know this track. But don’t you imagine how could it be? Yes: “Smart”! Enjoy with the 2nd track entirely dedicated to NORH drivers: only one day to the Start!
|
29 Apr 19.00 - AbuRaaaaaaaaf70!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic, wonderful, marvellous victory of AbuRaf70!!!!!! The argentinian driver conquers his first victory (first podium!) in a official Stunts race after he conducted since the beginning!!! Really a big satisfaction for him and really a big explosion of joy in all Stunts circus, we think!! AbuRaf70 writes his beatiful page of his career (until here!) dividing the podium with Chulk (gap 0"30) and Krys TOFF (only 0"05 from 2nd place!). Just after Mark L. Rivers (4th, a bit disappointed but very joyful for AbuRaf70's victory!), a very consistent SuperBrian (5th), Sergio Baro (fastest 3rd section, congratulations!!) and Paleke. And in general classification now Chulk leads with 1,5 points on Mark L. Rivers and 3rd (tadà!) AbuRaf70, who conquers the maximum possible score: 21 points!!! Again very congratulations to AbuRaf70!! But now it's time yet to talk about next challenge, a superb challenge! Yes, next RH track is really involving and absorbing with a unique characteristic. Don’t you believe it? Well, what would you say about a multi-way challenge where the track switches from one way to two ways 5 times in about 80”, and where drivers will have to switch from a way to another after every road fork if they will want to reach their best? Only the best drivers will be able to choose the right moment to change the way… Sure, you’ll drive a very manageable Stuns car on a Stunts track, not a locomotive on a railway… but sure a bit of water doesn’t make easy the switches! |
|
22 Apr 18.50 - A terrestrial is trying to defeat the alien assault! The incredible leading time has been skimmed in the 3rd week by a terrestrial: Mark L. Rivers! Trying to defeat the alien assault, the Italian driver succeeded to approach Chulk’s time reaching 1’02”20, only 0”05 from current leader! The argentinian champion still leads but now he knows he can’t sleep quiet dreams… ;-) What will last week of race reserve us about this one more time dazzling challenge between the two great NORH specialists? Who will be able to maintain firm nerves finding the right lap to win this involving race? Will Chulk succeed to firm his first success of the season? Or will Mark get his 3rd consecutive center? Well, it would be pleasant to consider other choices about final result, but no news from other drivers until here. The questions put at the beginning of this race seem to go towards the firsts sharp answers. But again 7 days to the finish: there’s still hope to see much more real Stunts passion at work, there’s still hope to see other real Stunts drivers in a real race! |
22 Apr 18.50 - AbuRaf70 is surprising more and more: again 1st!! AbuRaf70 is surprising more and more: he reaches a thunderous 57”65 keeping the 1st place!!! Moreover, lowering over 3% his previous time, he gets other 3 bonus points making a fantastic en-plein: 6 bonus points got, the maximum possible, 6 points which will permit him a very high score whatever final result will be! But the tenacious argentinian driver is really intentioned to stay very high in classification until the end! This race could reserve him the first podium in SDR, and (why not?) his first victory in a official race! Who can beat him? Three names until here the more accreditee: Mark L. Rivers (gap 0”10), Chulk (1”30) and SuperBrian (1”75) who irrupts at the 4st place (a very good outset!). The doors are open to all results, even because “Geometry” has a final that reserves to all drivers many surprises, much more than the designer had thought when he built the track! And thinking that we could see the outsets of CTG, Krys TOFF and Zak McKracken… well… who won’t discover how the race will finish next Sunday? ;-) |
|
15 Apr 15.15 - He's simply an alien!!! There're no many words to describe him: Chulk is simply an alien!!! Incredible time by the argentinian champion who pulverizes his previous limit reaching a fantastic 1'02"15, a time which seemed unreachable! How can he succeed to be so fast after only 2 weeks? Pure talent at work, really a great champion! Moreover, leading at 1st and 2nd checkpoint with 2nd time 3% lower than 1st one, Chulk catches other 2 bonus points beside 1 bonus point for leading 1st checkpoint: 18 points is the provisional score for him! (By the way, see new column "Improvement Percentage" in Checkpoints Standings). Behind the alien, Mark L. Rivers succeeds to improve his previous time so to catch another 0,5 bonus point, but now there's an high gap between them: over 4". Sure the italian driver can improve his time, but he really thinks not to be sure to succeed to approach current limit. Well, after Chulk-Alien's time maybe there's a concrete alibi for others drivers who won't go down on the track... Isn't it? ;-) |
15 Apr 15.15 - AbuRaf70 is not joking!! He's really without brakes and he's seriously intentioned to make a great race: AbuRaf70 still leads at 2nd checkpoint smashing (unique driver) the minute barrier!! Great progression by the determinate argentinian driver who lowers over 3% his previous time conquering so other 2 bonus points: 18 points is the provisional score for him! (By the way, see new column "Improvement Percentage" in Checkpoints Standings).Behind him, thin challenge for Chulk (outset in this race) and Mark L. Rivers to catch 0,5 bonus point for the 2nd with the argentinian who succeeds to catch them for only 0"20. Really a bad strategy in this race for the italian who risked to be overtook by a surprising and very consistent Sergio Baro: great improvement for him and 1'03"80, just 1"60 more than provisional 2nd place! And finally, another outset in this week: Paleke put his wheels on the track realizing a patrol lap, very far from others. Other 7 days and a new checkpoint: who will be able to catch last bonus points at stake? |

08 Apr 15.15 - Chulk: right pedal down and great time! They simply cannot stay without NORH race: Chulk and Mark L. Rivers soon on the track and the argentinian driver with a very low time yet! Yes, very fast time by the 2006 NORH champion which seems not to follow big strategies: right pedal down, great 1'05"55 and 1 bonus point got! Effectively, it appears a bit difficult that Chulk will be able to catch other bonus points next CP. He should go down under 1'03"60 to catch them, but that time seems very hard to reach, maybe not impossible but very hard. Anyway, Chulk's talent his the best showed unitl here, and he could reserve us a new great time conquering other bonus points! The other driver, Mark L. Rivers, has reached in the 1st week a time quite far from current leader, 1'08"70. But he has got 0,5 bonus point and he should have more possibilities to catch other ones. A best strategy? Difficult to sat... let's see... Anyway, it will be a great challenge, as usual, and if other driver will want to join sure it will be a dazzling show! |
08 Apr 15.15 - AbuRaf70 leads the classification with a great trial! Fantastic race by AbuRaf70 in 1st week: three times with a great 1'03"15!! The argentinian driver seems really motivated on this track, finding very soon the right feeling to reach a very low time: a big and pleasent surprise for all the Stunts circus! AbuRaf70 drove very fast and now he leads with over 3" ahead Mark L. Rivers (bad strategies for current championship leader...?). But the 3rd in classification deserves a special mention too: welcome by SDR to Sergio Baro at his first race in this contest! We are sure happy for the outset of the argentinian driver, and we hope to have further news from him in this race and in next races! No news by other drivers... Did they wait to see first times before racing? Let's see at next CP! Meanwhile, 1 bonus point for AbuRaf70 and 0,5 bonus point for Mark... Who will be able to catch next ones...? |

29 Mar 08.00 - The time of the truth! The first SDR track entirely dedicated to NORH race is going to be published! It will be a truth-track. Yes, being simple (no critical point) and short (around 65"), and demanding less time to reach a good performance (thanks also to the great grip of Indy), this track will permit to the drivers to be able to make many attempts than previous races to reach their best. So this track will give us a more truthly answers about two important questions: 1) Who really have a great passion for this wonderful specialty? 2) Which is the real rank about NORH drivers? If a Stunts driver likes NORH race and if he thinks to be fast driving from start to finish without RH, now he can demonstrate it! Come on Stunts drivers, make a great show putting your heart in your NORH race! |
29 Mar 08.00 - A race for able geometers!
Here it is
the first Indy track of the season, fully dedicated to RH driver! A
delicate beginning, then 20" of PowerGear with a really strange way
to choose and a final for sensible fingers.... all in around 70"! The
track is characterized from some tracts never seen before (I think, but
correct me if I’m wrong), above all a strange way (very far from
conventional track!) which drivers will have to choose to make a very good
performance. I think this race should be involving and above all drivers
should enjoy thanks to a funny PowerGear and some unusual shortcuts.
Anyway the winner will have to show a great ability to individuate the
right angle to choose so to draw the right trajectory availing all
shortcuts that track offers… An affair for able geometers… What did
you study? ;-) OK, only few hours to start! Remember new
bonus points rules and try to gain more you can! |
