WorpeX.net Public Choice Tournament!
I like the idea, but it might get a bit confusing and so far we've had a pretty good range of winners. Perhaps we'll try it next round and see what happens!
I put together a video for this! Two of the races were EXTREMELY close (which you will see in the video!) and almost all of the cars were on the same level in terms of speed! Great racing all around and I had a lot of fun running this one! Enjoy it!

Recap:
After an intense tournament, EconoCarl not only gets his first win, but he also gets his car into the grand final as well! It wasn't an easy ride for this little car though! The race between it and the Ferrari in round one was a toss up! Had I not had the video, I would have called that third race a tie because it was so close! In the second round it had an easier time versus the car who only just barely beat the Demon in the previous round. In the finals, it faced the Shadow Jet from the other side of the bracket. The racing was close, only half a car length separated the two cars at the end of the track! In the end, the Ford got the job done and won the forth tournament! A Porsche, Ferrari and GT Racer await him in the grand finals...
The player rankings got shaken up quite a bit after this event! tastelikedirt slides into second place, getting himself ever closer to first place and redlinederby! iowastockcars and EconoCarl are the new 3rd place runners with GspeedR dropping all the way from second to fifth!

great racing, those photo finishes are the cat's meow...hhmmmm that rascal carl is the winner... next week !
I liked the way the Demon fell behind in heat #1 and then "shifted gears" to take the lead...you don't see that often on a short coarse.
That happens a lot on my track actually! You'll see it again in the very last race with the GTX-1! The Shadow Jet gets an early start off the line but doesn't end up with the win!
Thanks for the comments on the video! Racing was super tight this time! I'll probably do a video for the finals too whenever that is.

After watching it again, I see exactly what you mean.
I really like that GTX-1...I have one w/RRs that I like to 'dissect' and convert to FTEs .
And in regards to picking cars for upcoming weeks, I think some order is a good idea...maybe last place picks first and on up from there, like a sport draft. So Worpex would post the pick order and then we'd post in that order with our picks...?
