Season 4 Championship, the 16th car

Since I screwed up at the beginning of this season and the 458 FTE won two tournaments, we therefore only have 15 winners and are in need of the 16th. Looking at the rankings, I have tentatively picked Fandango to be the 16th car in the championship. Even though the Rover and Dieselboy out rank it, since they are previous season winners, I wanted to see another one of this season's cars be in the mix. Unless someone puts up a good argument for another car, that will be the pool going into the final tournament.

I'll be seeding the championship either Saturday night or Sunday before 6P...depends how my time works out. You'll get the normal mail reminders, don't worry. And as usual, this is a pre-picked tournament so there is no car entry. The championship is all 16 of this season's winners in an all-out drag race to be champion. The winning car will then be sent to the Hall of Fame and be (more or less) permanently retired.

And it looks like JDC is on track to be once again league champion...although the spread in the Top 5 is pretty narrow and I think this last tournament will be a challenge to pick, lots of good cars.

Also, a reminder that if you have any thoughts or suggestions for Season 5, please post or PM or mail or whatever.

Should also note that the unlock and bonus points for the Rookie Picks will be rewarded AFTER the championship. That's worth an extra 25 points.

What car would have won if the Ferrari wasn't in that second race?

Hmmm...hard to say really but if you took the 458 out of that second race and just excluded that branch all together, the Mercedes or BMW. The Mercedes already went on to win, so I guess the BMW would have been next in line. But it's hard to break it down that way. I think we'll stick with Fandango and leave the BMW in for next season.

This Saturday is super busy for me so results for the championship probably won't get posted until late. I'm running...nay, walking...in the Race for the Cure in the morning then have some family obligations in the afternoon. I'll be running the tournament Friday after work and will post results Saturday evening.

After the tournament results are posted, I'll go through and award the Rookie Picks bonus points and we'll finally see who comes out on top this season.
