2008 V8SCFC: R1 Adelaide 500

Antrodemus · 26 Feb 2008, 08:42 (Ref:2138179)

Memo to self - never shift house on a V8 weekend

Top Ten
This section will normally contain the Top Ten for the round, but I'm sure you can figure it out from the standings below

Hard Charger Award
This is the place where bravery and derring-do are rewarded, as the team who gains the most championship places in a round is awarded the Hard Charger Award.

Biggest Loser Award
The antithesis of the Hard Charger, the Biggest Loser Award is given to the team which forgets which way to go, enjoys playing in sandpits too much, or gains accreditation as demolition experts.

Excellent. Almost a podium! We might be a real shot this year! As for the next round watch out!!

Rombles1 · 26 Feb 2008, 09:59 (Ref:2138239)

OK, I'm depressed now. My son is 6th, my wife is 8th...... and I'm in 50th.

At least it can only get better from here.... I hope

Jacko44 · 26 Feb 2008, 12:57 (Ref:2138361)

20th.... Well at least it an improvement from last year...

Matt · 26 Feb 2008, 14:01 (Ref:2138398)

****, last. Grreeeaat.

StuiE · 26 Feb 2008, 14:24 (Ref:2138415)

Wow, I thought we might do ok with how the races went, didn't think we'd win though, awesome!

...just watch for us winning the biggest loser award next round.

Crooks Motorsport.

stmookeyj033 · 27 Feb 2008, 02:51 (Ref:2138898)

I'd love to know how many so-called 4 car Mega Teams are behind my bare boned 2 car operation in the championship?

Antrodemus · 27 Feb 2008, 04:47 (Ref:2138935)

I believe that's now three in a row Stuie - including the last two rounds of last year. Easily the best winning streak in V8SCFC history!

It's a trade off - two guns who'll collect a truckload of points versus 4 average joes who'll each collect a handful. Two car teams should be able to compete with 4 car teams (well thats the way I rig it anyway), I just think there is less risk of a disastrous round with 4 drivers. All the people with Frosty/Bright (42nd) or Frosty/Dumbrell (last) will agree

Perkins_11 · 27 Feb 2008, 05:00 (Ref:2138941)

2nd!!!....... thats suprising!! a much better start to this year compared to last year!! hope it continues

SZaucy · 27 Feb 2008, 05:44 (Ref:2138952)

3rd is such a surprise but we will take it our first podium!

Boxy · 27 Feb 2008, 07:38 (Ref:2138983)

Very happy with our start this year. I don't think we ever saw 5th at all last year! Better enjoy this one while we can..

Heh, I'm on a run that has to end badly soon! Nice stat though!

On the car count thing, I changed my strategy a bit when I found out the points system was different for this year, last year rewarded winners, this years rewards just staying near the mid-top. I don't really apply any maths to it though (although I could, I just cbf, and it takes some of the fun out of it) just a bit of an educated guess balancing amount of drivers, quality of drivers, and of course, which ones you think might go well.

Antrodemus · 28 Feb 2008, 06:25 (Ref:2139881)

Yeah, last years points worked really well I thought - in real life and here (can't ask for much more than a 3 point margin going into the last round!). Its fair to say I was a little

when I heard they'd changed it.

liquid drano · 28 Feb 2008, 09:07 (Ref:2139955)

New year, same old result. Bring on the creek.

nickyf1 · 28 Feb 2008, 22:07 (Ref:2140417)

top 20 yay! Lol, amazing. My best V8 result

Prickly_Goo · 3 Mar 2008, 02:36 (Ref:2142916)

29th.. where did we go wrong?

at least im not **** last!

LOL

Suttory · 3 Mar 2008, 06:18 (Ref:2142971)

16th.... well I'm not dead last which is good.

Gaz170 · 4 Mar 2008, 08:42 (Ref:2143907)

Equal 11th. Let's hope it only improves from there (but probably won't).
