Let's not mention the Leguna Seca race again eh. To reproduce that race I let the water out of the bath once the kids had finished and scooted the soap around it - actually I had more control of the soap.
Still, we were all in the same boat if you'll pardon the pun, so it wasn't a bad race for all that.
But that wasn't the most spectacular race. Oh no, that was the Indy Speedway (you know the one we actually had to slow down on). Spectacular for two reasons:
- Five up high boost racing was actually good fun, and quite the close nit challenge.
- Luke had a magic car.
Magic thanks to the wonders of the Internet (Somewhat ironic given what he does too!). Not only did we have the smash/spin/lightspeed cycle, and thanks for the 'tap' chap, but we also had the mystery of the finish - Luke was placed first, in front of Chris, but his finish time was slower - madness!
So this replay is a little bit special, the last corner/straight is replayed from above car from both car's points of view. See what you think...

So... did I still win???
...cos you need the extra points! ;o)
Anyway, I'll replay tonight and do a photo finish - though I think I'll need a wide angle lens.
But, the challenge here is that GT5 has picked a winner on more than just visual evidence, should we take it's call in every instance or check in every instance? Certainly we've had races where the cars appear to cross together and we take the GT5 ruling - should we be questioning those too... Expect a posting shortly.
I'm not actually worried about the points... pretty weird what happened though, especially with GT5 having a negative time against me in the results.. That's what I didn't get, one part of the system thinks luke won, another part thought I had won..
I agree - you're winning by a country mile anyhow, might be different had it been last race and a deciding point. But as per the blog posting (finally!) I reckon we go with the GT5 call as that's sets a more manageable precedent - otherwise it'll be stewards enquiry all over the place!
