i have achieved my Great Moral Victory!
if we ignore the guaranteed-win i had against a FILLUP slot, my record for this tournament is 3 wins and 3 losses. given my relatively low racing skill (13.3), i'm really quite pleased with this result!
thanks for the races, group P!

after round 6:
Group A
In an impressive race between BeepBeepBoop and KungFuhrer, BeepBeepBoop has improved not only group A’s but also the best overall time by posting an insane time of 45:20.12 winning with over 15 seconds ahead of KungFuhrer, who with a 45:36.11 didn’t have a bad time either, gaining himself a third win. Will anyone be able to beat that time in the group stage? We will have to find out in the next days. AmritTwo had an off day in their important duel against mcnn, finishing with over 47 minutes. Last but not least we got the race Elfo against Resurrector00, Elfo barely able to grasp their win with 1.7 seconds ahead of Resurrector00, putting Elfo with three wins one win ahead of Resurrector00.
Leaders in the group: Konys, mcnn
Fastest finish time group A & overall: BeepBeepBoop 0:45:20.12
Group B
Race 1 of this group is Leelip against plwslw, the groups fastest, in which Leelip has proven to be the faster, winning that match up and putting a fourth win under his belt. NSFlygirl1966 was able to keep up with Leelip, also winning her fourth race and putting herself at the top right with Leelip and posting todays best time of group B with 46:03.01. Yeala didn’t want to be left out and closely won against Xenos48, with just 4.9 seconds ahead. Thus putting Yeala, NSFlygirl1966 and Leelip at the top as the leaders of the group, one of them will have to prove soon what it takes to be the winner and emerge above everyone else. ThePlugCasper was looking for his second win in the tournament, their hopes shattered by DrVoid though as he dominantly took the race win home with them, putting DrVoid on third place together with Flid.
Leader in the group: Leelip, Yeala, NSFlygirl1966
Fastest finish time group B: plwslw 0:45:57.56
Group C
In group C’s first race Themick has faced off against JayJay7775, the group’s fastest at the time of writing, but has proven successful and bagged a win, putting himself at 3 wins, they had a close race with Themick just finishing 5.03 seconds ahead of his opponent. bear1lit was up next, winning against one of the current leaders, Cayde-6 and putting himself at 3 wins as well. At this time there is no result available between DegTyrev and Bt999.
Leaders in the group: Cayde-6, JUSTIN
Fastest finish time group C: JayJay7775 0:45:48.01
Group D
Group D’s fastest of the day, ThunderDrak, won against RawRexHead with a time of 45:51.45, missing the groups fastest time by less than a second. But his consolation is putting himself on the same steps as RawRexHead, both standing tall with 4 wins currently. BillHimself has joined them with 4 wins, winning his match-up against 4n4rchist. Rosierosie has bested busyant82 by mere seconds, winning against her opponent by 4.84 seconds and being rewarded with her second win. The last of group D showed WKTs very own CJBWRC, with one win, facing Youngcas, with zero wins. Youngcas was able to gather his first victory in WKT thus putting themselves out of the sole last place and instead now together with CJBWRC.
Leader in the group: RawRexHead, ThunderDrak, BillHimself
Fastest finish time group D: Illusionate 0:45:50.71
Group E
The first race of group E was overDos3 against Sarm. overDos3 being able to score a point by beating his opponent and earning his third win, putting the two of them in the same position on the scoreboard. As in our previous group Pacoano was able to also claim his first victory in WKTs winter edition, driving a solid race against Hanging_Judge which secured them their win. There is currently no time between Gonzalezco & omcatmeowbuddy and nomoretime & SleepIsForWeak.
Leader in the group: SpeedSkateR
Fastest finish time group E: SpeedSkateR 0:45:55.84
Group F
Our first match-up of the group is MkeMalta against Mad_Ninja. Mad_Ninja was able to secure her second win with over a minute ahead of her opponent MkeMalta and a time of 45:54.40. Her next race will be against Geeklord, where she will have the opportunity to even out the score between herself and Geeklord. Speaking of Geeklord he has won his match up as well against Bilbosaggings, winning with about 38 seconds ahead and a finishing time of 45:59.63, earning himself his 3rd win and overall 3rd place shared with mathuaerknedam. mathuarknedam is also next in line, as he has won his 3rd win as well as previously mentioned. He has won with 18 seconds ahead of aaronachnid, giving aaronachnid his second loss in this group phase, proving that this group is far from being decided. mattynob has taken this opportunity to earn himself the temporary title of group leader, winning against WarFlamezzz in their matchup. mattynob has posted this race days fastest time of Group F with 45:47.95 but it is nowhere near aaronachnid’s fastest time, we are left wondering if someone will be able to beat that time.
Leaders in the group: mattynob
Fastest finish time group F: aaronachnid 0:45:34.32
Group G
In this first race-off we got DOVER against DaigleTheBagel. DOVER was able to emerge victorious over DaigleTheBagel and put himself at 4 wins total and also a 4 wins win streak. gabbar_dude has won his race against dev_is_ded as well, which puts gabbar_dude at the top of the leaderboard, keeping us excited as to who might be able to take first place in the end of group G. The current fastest driver leckie2786 was facing Alyssa today and has emerged as the winner. None of those wins were able to come close to the fastest time, gabbar_dude being the closest with 20 seconds behind today. In our last race DrClarkus showed a solid performance against HeartInBag, putting themselves on second place together with DOVER at four wins.
Leader in the group: gabbar_dude
Fastest finish time group G: leckie2786 0:45:36.12
Group H
-Noxious- is starting of this group strong, extending his lead over his close contenders Siredge, MyDuude and SevTai, by winning his match-up against MyDuude. Sitting comfortably on his 5 wins, we have 3 races left to see if anyone will be able to take that crown and lead from him. One of those close contenders is SevTai, who has posted an impressive time against Arvina, kicking -Noxious-‘s name of the fastest finish time list and replacing it with his own name and time of 45:42.71. SevTai is now on a 4 win winstreak and the next race against -Noxious- will show if SevTai is worthy to kick the king off the throne and end the leaders winstreak of 5 wins. Iamnorrinradd was able to claim his second win in this next match-up against XGCaesar, winning closely with just 4.65 seconds ahead of his opponent.

This was a disappointing time and loss for me but group B is quite close so if I give a strong close to the tournament hopefully I can still find success in a tiebreaker.
Also, why in the challonge for group A does it say that FILLUP defeated BeepBeepBoop in round 4?

Still 3 racedays to go, so dont lose hope!
ohmy thanks for noticing
The write-ups are a great idea
Thanks for noticing, apparently my luck is so bad that I lost a matchup against FILLUP
Turns out they thought I was joking when I said on discord that I lost a matchup against FILLUP

Don't throw me under the bus lol. I'll add another scenario to my write up.
0.001% - As the last race comes to a close and the stewards are preparing their escape to the nearest bar, there's a knock on the door. Its Ched. Unbeknown to the team, the staff have been conducting a months long operation in to finding the identity of the biggest multi-account holder in Torn. (Why didn't Jairyll know about this? Too busy crying over her inevitable defeat to notice the notification.) The identity of the player is non other than Brainslug. And Kafia. And vInDicTed. And Strandevader and Lalop and Toxicmonkeymzc. Turns out nearly everyone in group H is part of this scheme and thus are permafedded. As the only players left, bkoz and fillup move onto the next stage. After a tough battle through the knockout stage, the competition if eventually won by Fillup, who is powered with anger after being ignored by every one of her competitors in the Main stage.

Have no doubt that I would have upvoted that twice if I could.
Feeling much better. Thanks CJ
Turns one can really explain anything with statistics and probabilities.

after round 7:
Group A
First race of the day was between Elfo and Nick9633 both had 2 points at the start of the race. Elfo crossed the finish line first and won his 3rd point in the tournament. Race number 2 was between Resurrector00 and KungFuhrer, like the earlier race today both contestants had 2 points at the start. Today KungFuhrer seemed unstoppable and won the race. KONYS and mcnn were the next pair on the tarmac, Konys however proved to be the fastest today gaining their 4th point. At the time of writing the race result for BeepBeepBoop and AmritTwo is not in yet. Depending on that result we either have a sole leader in the group (BeepBeepBoop winning) or 5 leaders.
Leaders in the group: depends on unknown result
Fastest finish time group A & overall: BeepBeepBoop 0:45:20.12
Group B
NSFlygirl1966 (3 points) raced against DrVoid (2 points). DrVoid, hungry for that 3rd point managed to beat NSFlygirl1966. The race between plwslw and southbank resulted in a win for plwslw while also setting a new fastest finish time in the group. With that win he comes to a total of 3 points, while southbank remains at 2. 2 races have not been added yet towards the steward ThePlugCasper vs Xenos48 and Leelip vs Flid, for this reason there will be no mention of the leader in the group.
Fastest finish time group B: plwslw 0:45:57.56
Group C
Bt999 faced Cayde-6 during the first race of the day in group C. Cayde-6 being one of the groupleaders was considered the favourite in this race due to Bt999 having 1 point so far. Bt999 however proved the analysts to be wrong and took his 2nd point of the tournament. JayJay7775 managed to secure his 4th point by defeating DegTyrev who remains at 2 points, JayJay7775 managed to improve his fastest finish time in the group doing so. Due to the other results so far in the group if Justin would win his race against Themick, he would become the sole leader in the group. Themick trying to get his 4th point, was not able to keep up with Justin. Bickomad was up against fillup and got 1 point1.
Leaders in the group: JUSTIN
Fastest finish time group C: JayJay7775 0:45:46.10
Group D
Group D started with a race between BillHimself, who is a current leader, against Youngcas. Youngcas having 1 point faced the tough challenge to search for his second point against a leader in the group, however he managed to pull through and got a valuable point from BillHimself. RawRexHead went against CJBWRC, CJBWRC had the same difficult task of trying to gain their 2nd point against a leader in the group. She however followed the example of Youngcas in the earlier race today and won. Rosierosie went heads up against ThunderDrak. ThunderDrak being one of the leaders in the group could profit if he would win from the earlier losses of RawRexHead and BillHimself. He managed to do so and got his 5th point, leaving Rosierosie with 2. At the time of writing the race between Illusionate and busyant82 was unknown.
Leader in the group: ThunderDrak
Fastest finish time group D: Illusionate 0:45:50.71

Aaronachnid went in this round against WarFlamezzz, he however had an off day and lost the race. WarFlamezzz gained his 2nd point and aaronachnid stays at 4. Second race in this group today was between Bilbosaggings (2points) and mathuaerknedam(3 points), like in the earlier race there was someone who had an offday, thus losing the race. This time it was mathuaerknedam. Mad_ninja raced against Geeklord and also had an offday making Geeklord win his 4th point. I’m starting to wonder if this group held a lockdown party with lots of alcohol and some had a worse hangover then others…. Last race in the group was Jorgen vs MkeMalta, both racers had 2 points so far, proving to be most likely a race that could be won by either. This time MkeMalta won.
Leader in the group: mattynob
Fastest finish time group F: aaronachnid 0:45:34.32
Group G
Gabbar_dude went up against Alyssa, Alyssa had the difficult task to try and win her 3rd race against him.

The race was won with a time difference of 4.37 seconds in the advantage of dev_is_ded. DrClarkus went up against DOVER both having 4 points before the race. DrClarkus however was the better racer today and won his 5th point. At the time of writing the result between TheTyrantSmew and HeartInBag is unknown.

This group could have been a nailbiter but miro and JACR decided to not let it get that far and simply won both of their races. JACR narrowly avoiding a knockout by 1.81 seconds, winning against Beerstein, let us cut to Prezze who I have locked in my basement and forced to watch and comment all exciting races before I let him out:
*Krhk* The race starts off with JACR taking the lead from the start, JACR certainly is the faster one in the first part of the race. In the first 7 laps on industrial he managed to steadily grow a gap of 17 seconds on Beerstein. During lap 8 it’s the first time Beerstein shows that he can keep the same pace and take back some time, JACR however takes it back up to 18 seconds during lap 9. The next 4 laps in the race Beerstein closes the gap again to 7 seconds. JACR feeling the pressure takes it up a notch again and at the end of lap 15 the gap widened again to 13 seconds. After 3/4th of the race Beerstein hasn’t taken the lead once. Lap 16 showed an unknown Beerstein so far in this race, he finished this lap with a time below 0:01:20.00 and brought the total difference down with an astounding 7 seconds to a total of 6 seconds. Lap 17 and 18 are a yoyo, both racers taking and losing a lap, but Beerstein took in lap 18 quite some seconds on JACR and is about 4-5 seconds behind now. Lap 19 was incredible for Beerstein he caught back up to JACR and even took the lead for a short while, just before the finish line JACR took the lead back again, but the difference between them was minimal when they went into the last lap. Lap 20 showed however that JACR controlled the race and set a steady pace that beerstein only was able to follow. JACR would pass the waving checkered flag 1.81 seconds faster than Beerstein. *Krhk*
Thanks Prezze. miro drove a solid race against Okapi winning with a time of 28:15.12 seconds. Thus JACR and miro have both qualified but will race each other once more to decide who truly deserves the first place in their group, good luck and congratulations to JACR and miro. Thegoat514 won against Jazeejas, claiming their fourth win. Octon & Kv0the have no results yet.

As in our previous group, Ketone and TheCarCollector really didn‘t feel like going into any relegation races for qualifying, so they simply went ahead and sabotaged their opponents cars, Ketone winning against Muirisc, who had to drive with the brake and gas pedal switched and TheCarCollector winning against Telomun, who found out as he entered his car for the race that the driver seat has been put in the back of the car, what a mess. Both of them will have to race against each other for first place and we are excited to see what sabotages they will come up with next against each other. emerix who relied on a win to qualify had even achieved that against Greekposer, winning with just 3.06 seconds ahead but since neither Ketone nor TheCarCollector lost, he sadly hasn‘t qualified. cwa311 has also won their last race of the tournament against Starlord. Congratulations to Ketone and TheCarCollector for qualifying and a solid sabotage and good luck for the rest of the tournament.

A pattern is starting to establish as the easiest possibilities are starting to come true. Hammer has qualified in first place, winning with a great time of 28:13.51 against Dexy. Aaassh has also won their race, proving victorious over Kamakazie99 by just 3.87 seconds, narrowly avoiding a race for second place against Chronos. Back to Prezze on that race report for that:
*Krhk* In the first lap of the race Kamakazie99 soon takes the leads and takes of being 5 seconds faster than Aaassh. The next lap Aaassh nibbles down that difference to 2 seconds, during lap 3 he overtakes Kamakazie99 and leads with 3 seconds. Aaassh keeps taking seconds the next laps and at the end of lap 8 he leads with 14 seconds. Lap 9 we see Kamakazie99 finally overcome the nerves and he starts to gain back on Aaassh, halfway the race at lap 10 he is behind 9 seconds. But lap 11 and 12 he takes back enough time to briefly lead during lap 12 . Both racers are now neck on neck and this remains like that during lap 13. Lap 14 kamakazie99 takes risks and leads after the first part in the race, however he takes too many risk resulting in an error which Aaassh uses to fly by. Aaassh leads now with 6 seconds making Kamakazie99 to pursue again. Next laps Kamakazie99 steps back up and at the end of lap 17 he made up the entire difference and passing Aaassh just at the finish line. Kamakazie99 went into lap 18 as the leader however after 2 turns in the lap Aaassh overtakes again, the difference is however small as, with 1 second in the advantage of Aaassh. During lap 19 Aaassh grows that time to 5 seconds again. This difference with only 1 lap remaining was too much for Kamakazie99 to overcome and he crossed the checkered flag with 3.87 seconds difference. *Krhk*
Thanks Prezze and no, you cannot come out yet. Unfortunately Chronos had a rough time on the track today, finishing with an awful time of 28:52.19, 11.72 seconds behind their opponent Patapouf who had taken their third and final win of the tournament. Deansrule beat their last opponent of the tournament dang_nabbit, taking their fourth win. Congratulations to Hammer on first place and to Aaassh on second place, good luck to the two of you for the rest of the tournament.

If you have read the previous groups it should come as no suprise that group F has also not had any crazy turns.

MrLaw had lost their race yesterday, automatically qualifying Green_Revolver in second place. Stan has claimed their fourth win of the tournament against Joseph, putting them in third place of the group.

Finally some excitement ladies and gentlemen. As mentioned in our previous write-up, Lugburz only is able to qualify through a relegation race if dromedan or Fortunas lose, well the incredible has happened and both dromedan and Fortunas have lost their races. Trachten has taken home their fourth win against dromedan by an incredible 0.85 second margin and Gnarkills has succeeded against Fortunas with just 3.51 seconds ahead, exciting races for sure. This leaves Lugburz, dromedan and Fortunas in a 3-way race-off for qualification and we are glued to our seats to see who will advance and which unfortunate racer will have to be left behind. Good luck to the three of them, the results are already in and will be talked about in a special race-off write-up.

Yes, you guessed it. The most unthinkable scenario happened or as Madbranch and Ali_Looya would have said, it was highly likely (something about some Pratchett? I don’t know, forgive me, I am a young European). Anyways, we have five(!) people competing for second place and a place in the knockout stage. Those insane bastards are Kafia, Strandevader, Brainslug, Lalop and vInDicaTed. As mentioned in our previous write-up both Kafia (against vInDicaTed) and bkoz (against Strandevader) won which caused this whole mess and the race between bkoz and Strandevader was pretty close indeed, with a time difference of only 2.61 seconds. bkoz is the only unfortunate soul to be out already but you have done well with your last win and we hope to see you again in the next edition. Not to forget congratulations to ToxicMonkeyMZC for qualifying already by winning against Lalop with the groups new fastest time of 28:11.92 and good luck to Kafia, Strandevader, Brainslug, Lalop and vInDicaTed. Try not to rip each other apart in the race-off to be the lucky one to qualify.

In a huge upset group I has been well shaken through. Ali_Looya has won their race against Tittie_Twister, forcing a race-off for second place just barely by 0.59 seconds, where both of them will have to race again! An incredible win surely, what does Prezze have to say about that race?
*Krhk* Ali_Looya quickly takes the lead in the race and doesn’t slow down her pace at all. By the end of lap 3 she leads with 11 seconds. The next laps keep switching on who gains time on who and halfway the race Ali_looya leads with only 3 seconds anymore. Tittie_Twister does not often set the faster lap on the clock but if he does he immediately takes back half of the total time he is behind. Lap 11 Tittie_Twister breaks that rule and closes the gap between him and Ali_looya, he even overtakes her and takes about 1 second on her too. Lap 12 we saw the most action so far, a lot of overtaking by both racers making it a neck on neck race. Ali_looya manages to overtake Tittie_Twister a second time in this lap in the straight line towards the finish. Lap 13 shows Tittie_Twister being faster and overtaking Ali_looya in the corners, the straight lines Ali_looya overtakes once again and finishes the lap in the lead with a minimal difference. Tittie_Twister overtakes in the first corner of lap 14, but a couple of corners later Ali_looya passes again. The audience must love this race so much action. Ali_looya takes 2 seconds at the end of the lap and lap 15 we see both of them not giving an inch to the other. Ali_looya then increases the gap over lap 16 and 17 and leads with 7 seconds. Lap 18 and 19 are once again for Tittie_Twister who goes into lap 20 with 3 seconds behind. At the end of the cornering part in lap 20 Tittie_Twister closed the entire gap and they are racing neck on neck towards the finish time, finishing with a mere 0.59 seconds difference Ali_looya takes the win that changes the outcome of this group. *Krhk*
Appreciate it Prezze. Mobil has defeated group I’s leader FuzzyRight1, putting him in the second place race-off as well. Xopowo also won their duel against Sarosv, making it a four way race-off for qualification. Unfortunately Madbranch had chosen a fairer car against his opponent QwertyChegie and lost out on the chance to participate in this incredible race-off for second place, better luck next time!

Due to Fraziel’s strong performance on Industrial against BloodyKangaroo and winning, Prezze and Smolder can count themselves lucky as now they are both qualified and will only have to race against each other to decide who is first and who is second in this group. Congrats to the both of them already. To put themselves into that spot Prezze won against Yiddles, his lucky streak continuing as he had a not so good time of 28:43.58 but fortunately for him his opponent drove worse, gaining Prezze their fifth win needed to qualify. Smolder won against Dunk666 with a solid time of 28:18.38, also gaining them their fifth win that was needed to qualify.

Due to Fraziel’s strong performance on Industrial against BloodyKangaroo and winning, Prezze and Smolder can count themselves lucky as now they are both qualified and will only have to race against each other to decide who is first and who is second in this group. Congrats to the both of them already. To put themselves into that spot Prezze won against Yiddles, his lucky streak continuing as he had a not so good time of 28:43.58 but fortunately for him his opponent drove worse, gaining Prezze their fifth win needed to qualify. Smolder won against Dunk666 with a solid time of 28:18.38, also gaining them their fifth win that was needed to qualify. In our last match-up jeremyg8888 won his race against Kalaya, putting him in third place together with Fraziel and BloodyKangaroo. Good luck to Smolder and Prezze for the rest of the tournament.

In the duel GFTL vs The_Joker, GFTL was able to decide the race for themself thus BuzzHead is through in first place and GFTL and The_Joker will have to race again for second place, the winner obviously qualifying. Congratulations to BuzzHead and good luck to the contestants for second place, the result of their race-off will be talked about in the next write-up.

Group P
Donco had to win and then hope for MaGnO to lose their race. Donco did the first and won against JIbblets with a nice time of 28:15.71. Though MaGnO really wanted to qualify, so he swiftly set a new fastest group time of 28:07.30 and beat Frudd who also had a solid time of 28:22.26 we should mention but with MaGnOs speed that was not enough. Thus Mathematics and MaGnO are qualified, Donco closely missing out. In our last race, biosterous won against Swerige, putting biosterous on 4th place of the group with four wins. Mathematics and MaGnO will have to race against each other to decide who will truly be first and second of this group, we wish both contenders good luck for that and congratulations once more to Mathematics and MaGnO on qualifying.
Qualified: Mathematics, MaGnO
