Max was in front of me as the AI took over, this was in turn 4. I don't know if the race order was finalized at the finish line of our last completed lap, or??
I recall that the timer expired back in the turn 1-2 area, at that time this posted finish order is correct, regarding the positions around me..
What criteria defines the finish order of a " timed" event? Apparently you do not race to the line. Position as time expires?
I need to practice ovals in a group, collisions on. Qualified last, and separated in a rearward direction( just like the pros?) from the pack from an ill timed checkup lap 1, leaving turn 2. Ran by myself until about three laps from the end, clean, and apparently destined for a fourth place finish. Shockwaves and Abe caught me at this time, in their damaged two car draft. This is where I learned that b apparently rear traction is compromised by someone behind you. WHEEEEEEEEE! Drifting the front straight, wall to wall, even without touching them, does not lead to a good laptime.

it goes by miles.the game knows what positions the feild is in..rite at the 30sec mark
everyone should take alook at what position they are in before time runs out.

Where does all those numbers come from?

It's don's weird algorithm spread sheet
so who know

XPR Soundwave wrote:Where does all those numbers come from?

The numbers are based on a scale from 0-3000+ In theory one could break 3000, but it isn't likely that the top rated drivers will go above 2800. This scale is borrowed from the formula used to measure/rate the skill of chess players.
We've adapted some elements from not only chess, but golf, tennis, and iRacing too. The IFCA ratings formula is unique to Forza league drivers, and gives us a fairly accurate performance rating. This in turn allows us to see at a glance where everyone is in relation to each others skill level. So far we've rated nearly 1500 races already this year. That's about 5 rated races per rated driver.

Uh, dam! Lol well it's really unique n I like it, but how do figure where the drivers projected finish would be?

That's very simple, it is based on their rating. The higher rated driver is predicted to finish ahead of the lower rated driver. Obviously the highest rated driver in any given lobby would be favored to finish 1st. Therefore the computer picks him as the expected winner. The second highest rated driver is then expected to finish 2nd, and so on down the line.

When will the Sprint Cup Series be updated?

I expect to drop in the Road America race.

The ratings results for motegi are right there Tom, just scroll up.

I think Tom's asking about the points standings for the Sprint Cup.

That would be a question for Oneshot

Updated:

crazy stuff in points bracket,three-way tie for 3rd and a three-way tie for 6th.
the first 8 spots are only 9 points apart

Thanks Don, it was hard tho! After the wreck at Motegi, I didn't think I would be even in contention for the championship. Nailing that win at Road America surprised me. And keeping the car clean around Indy was the hardest...

But all season, Venom gave me a great car and all he said was don't wreck it! Haha

Cheers on my first Championship! See you guys in the next one

thanks don, dont you mean OneShot.. LOL

Congratulations Soundwave.
