Weekly Hot Lap Competition Week 1 2014.11.29 start 2014.12.06 end AntiSlider: 30.514 (Mike Nike) - could have been at least a high 30.4, considering Mike messed up the last curve at least twice in low 30.5x laps by driving "too safe" fearing to crash. Interesting side note: Palo gave Mike and Tijny with 30.563 a nice challenge, showing one more time he isn't just a talent in Punaball. Also Ender improved his "game" ;), as well as Double O Seven did respectable laps. EasySlider: 31.970 (Tijny) - Jannes 32.294 "come back" laprecord got smashed by Mike Nike and Tijny. At some point Tijny felt untouchable with his 32.1x lap, but Mike could beat it by a comfortable looking 32.041 ("EZ rec is yours. I can't beat that." or something like that Tijny said). And in the last night before the end of the challenge..Tijny threw a new sick lap in everybodys face. Palo on 3rd with a 32,233, quite solid as well! Spinner: 31.780 (Tijny) - impressive Palo on 3rd again with a 31.905, which Mike could beat with a satisfying 31.852 (feeling that a high 31.7x is reachable, which Tijny could drive as if it would be no big deal) Slider: 31.861 (Mike Nike) - tough challenge, close laps to impressive Palo (31.888) and Tijny (31.914), but the lap felt pretty solid and consequently hard to touch. Respectable mid 32.0x laps by Hevonen (who reminds me to Hengari at this point) and Kyna_Musti! Speeder: 29.965 (Tijny) - without driving a single 30.0x or so, as well as Mike (29.978), Tijny showed one more time that he is the speeder king of Turbo Sliders. Long time i was 0.2 off that record, but i hit a bunch of very concentrated 3 stints with early low 30.1x laps in the first laps of these stints, ending up with a laptime, which impressed myself probably the most. Overall: Tijny, with 3 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze, the winner of this challenge. Mike, profiting from no participation of dede & the rest of the hardcore "lapwankers", reached 2 Gold, 3 Silver. Palo, with 1 Silver and 4 Bronze, my personal "newcomer" in the scene of laprecord hunters at that point (although i coulda smelt it coming, considering he drove a fast RDP-Antislider lap some days/weeks earlier in a server with me). Interesting to see: Antislider has been the most selected car by far. Spinner, the most "hated". Considering the Easyslider might be a "default selection" for some drivers, it was taken quite less times, still.
