Welcome to Week 12 of the Too Much Racing Game!
I really enjoyed both the IndyCar and MotoGP races at the weekend, I hope to write a couple of paragraphs tomorrow but we’ll see what time there is. I didn’t catch the Le Mans Series or the NASCAR Cup, I hope some of you were able to follow along.
This is a special week for the TMR Game – it is one of the busiest in terms of number of events in a single weekend. There are five eligible events this week, this is only topped by the weekend of 22-23 August with six. There are all manner of ways to play this week – do we split ourselves across as many series as possible and try and pick lots of winners, or do we concentrate on the top runners in just a couple of series and hope they have a good week? You can bet this week is going to create some differences in the scoring.
You’ll be pleased to hear we have two quiet weeks after this with only two races per week.
Quick-Start
Racing this week:
F1: Chinese Grand Prix, Shanghai, China;
IndyCar: GP of Long Beach, California, USA;
ALMS: Long Beach, California, USA;
NASCAR: Texas Motor Speedway, Ft Worth, Texas, USA;
WRC: Rally of Turkey
Usual restrictions apply, pick up to 10 drivers, no more than 7 from one race… though this week this may not be a problem!
The cutoff is Saturday 17th April at 4.59am BST (British Summer Time = GMT+1), that’s 11.59pm Friday night US EDT. I am aware the first day of the rally is Friday. I’m willing to sacrifice that in order to maintain a consistent closing point – henceforth I will only change this time when the first day is Thursday.
For the full results from Week 11, read on.
