MotorSportsUnited excert - NOSCAR CRASH RESULTS EXPLUSION!
Yesterday, Both Jack and Damian were admitted into Peruvian Oval Hospital for Massive Motorsporting Accidents(POHMMA) After a 4-car Crash between Copperine, Copperin, from The CopperNOS, and Jack and Damian McCrawne from Elite NOSCAR Racing.
It all started at lap 5, Copperin shoved Jesse Kinggrass of Whine Racing, not only taking Jesse out of the race, but it took out Olly Jenkins of Jenkins Racing aswell.
On Lap 7, Copperine P.I.T.ed Qwentin Jenkins while Damian Overtook him, showing unsurmantable bravery as he drove under the barrel rolling car of Qwentin. John Magentaflow of Whine Racing got taken out by Copperine on turn 2.
Lap 9 gave me a taste of what TRUE bravery is. a 4-car pile up caused by Copperin & Copperine took out Scarring GP* and NOSRacing* And Jack over took Copperin.
Lap 12, and the race ended. This is why:
Scarring GP drivers are Joe Kingerbean and Kyle Melonning.
NOSRacing Drivers are Sam Cloudwing and Jane Wringer
5 Safety Cars.
Damian got the win, and Jack got second.
Aftermath:
If Keiko was furious with The CopperNOS, it was nothing to how Dylan felt.
The CopperNOS have been banned forever and have disbanded.
Let's hope nothing like this happens ever again.

Its been about 3 weeks since I created the team, and Ive run 15 races. My results are fairly balanced, with the majority of the podium finishes coming recently.
Position / Number
1 / 3
2 / 3
3 / 2
4 / 2
5 / 2
6 / 3
Incredibly my first 5 races saw me finishing 4th-6th, so I avoided promotion. Mostly they were against bots at the end of the server day. Perhaps these bots are based off of competition prize winners, because they were very fast. They dont seem to represent what was in League 1 currently. This kept me in L1 to win some bolts and get some parts.
To start from the beginning...
My car of choice is the Kingroad Trophy. All the SBT cars are roughly equal, and the KT is the most balanced of them all. The 25 in S gives a nice +1 S to the driver, unlike the Toyouyota or the Lambada Camera. Anyway it doesnt really matter.
I bought my mechanic, and set up affinity before my first race.
This left me with 0 bolts. So no parts for race 1. Generally for my races I try to choose low damage tracks (Speedys or Peruvians) so that I can save my mechanic action to install new parts if I have them. Usually I can get at least 1 of these 4 tracks anytime I sign on.
After my first race I came in 5 or 6, winning only 50 bolts. I immediately purchased a +1S others and a level 1 RH. Since my race was only light damage, I was able to install them the next day rather than use my mechanic for repair. Using my first days mechanic for affinity paid off as my first race bumped my affinity to 2%. Also I got to 6% in my first week of racing, a pleasant surprise.
As more bolts came in, I bought a few more parts. Ive been scanning the shops periodically for specific things. Others with A or S driver bonuses, or measly base parts with measly trigger bonuses. The specific triggers I want are AS SB SC CA or BA. If I cant get those I wait until the next day.
So far Ive bought a +3S others, a 3RH tire and a measly brake and gearbox with measly BA and CA, respectively. I also bought a second +3S others, because Im stupid and didnt check what I already had in my inventory.
Aftr installing the 3S other, I promoted to L2. A few days later with the brakes and tires, I promoted to L3. With my current 1000 bolts, I am hoping to save for the OCMMP, but due to the rarity of specific bonuses and bonus level parts I am looking for, I will buy parts if they become available. I doubt I will buy anything above level 3 in the shops, but rather turn to research. This could take forever, 8000 bolts, so Im not sure how long this attitude will last.
I plan on buying a second car for my subsequent drivers, as to maintain the affinity Im gaining with my first. Ive also considered the idea of hiring only drivers, no mechanics. While the repair values will be lower, it will give some flexibility in who races on which days, and get some occasional earnings out of a mechanic spot that otherwise wouldnt win me anything.
Not sure what L3 will hold as far as competition. The final 500 bolts for OCMMP could take 10 days, could take 2. Makes that wasted 270 on the duplicate others all the more frustrating. While it can ultimately go on the second car, if it takes me an extra 5 days to make that 270, thats 300 more bolts lost in delaying the completion of the OCMMP....
