2023-1 Shorties: Taupo

Race 1

Jamie kicked things off by just driving away from the field.

Behind him, things were starting to go awry as The Egg had a contact.

Which cascaded into several contacts.

Tnadz and Zack were clambering through the field when Tnadz had a slide.  Zack was kind enough to help him point right and took the position as payment.

And while that was all happening, Jamie was enjoying champagne.

Race 2:

The second round saw The Bear (after many attempts) take the pole and try to drive away.

But because of a start exploit, he was swamped before he could cross the line and lead the first lap.

On the next few laps, the quad of humans fighting for the front saw The Egg give Jamie a tap and drive away without redress.  A dark day in sim racing.

While Tnadz and Webster were fighting each other and traffic, The Egg caught up and it was a furball.

Despite a close battle, Zack stayed ahead and pulled out victory.

Race 3:

The finale started much like Race 2 with the humans flying through the field.

Sadly, Zack had a slip off the curb and touched an invisible wall, killing the motor instantly.

Egg was the next one to slip down the order as he followed Tnadz too far off through the T1 exit.

Jamie had the win in hand when he decided to go to the beach in the final corner.

He tried to cut through the esses to catch up.

And he nearly almost had a pass around the outside.  But instead played at the beach again, giving Tnadz the win.
