I did look at past results for the Level 5 cars, which suggest one will do well, but not which one!

Well despite the entry list, only one of them is actually running this weekend. Fortunately for me, it’s the #055.

I go back over comparable results with some consideration to previous results for the venue. The problem with Indycar is that with the new cars and engines, and the split between ovals and non-ovals, there are not that many directly comparable results. I tend to be more venue-specific with NASCAR, whereas when Pat launched the Too Much Racing Game in 2010, I intially thought an oval is an oval is an oval, and had to learn better.

F1:
Seb Vettel
Mark Webber
Fernando Alonso
Felipe Massa
Kimi Raikkonen
Romain Grosjean
Lewis Hamilton
Going deep on F1 picks. Weather looks nice and rather temperate so the field should be pretty evened out as far as tire performance, I feel. DiResta and Perez were hard to cut based on the numbers I had.

ALMS:
#6 Muscle Milk
Still the only seriously reliable pick in sports cars.

Indycar
Will Power
Helio Castroneves
This field was pretty close all around. In the end it was my sort-of-made-up-statistic of ‘weighted finishing position’ that won it for these two. It calculates an expected finishing position based on their performances over the last two seasons and at the particular venue in the past. Dixon, Pagenaud and Franchitti were axed.

Good luck!

Indycar:
Power
Dixon

ALMS:
#6 Muscle Milk (Luhr/Graf)
#16 Dyson (Dyson/Smith)

F1
Alonso
Webber
Vettel
Schumacher (yes really)

IndyCar
Hunter-Reay
Power
Dixon
Servia

ALMS
#7 Muscle Milk Pickett HPD
#16 Dyson Lola Mazda

I want to pick another ALMS instead of the the Schumacher gamble, but Level 5 can’t ever seem to decide which car to race until the last minute, and the Conquest car keeps retiring whenever I watch it. Maybe the LMPC guys will get a top 4 or 5 but which one?

F1:
1) Alonso
2) Vettel
3) Webber
4) Hamilton
5) Raikkonen
6) Rosberg

ALMS:
7) #6 Muscle Milk (Luhr/Graf)
8) #16 Dyson (Dyson/Smith)

IndyCar:
9) Will Power
10) Ryan Hunter-Reay

IndyCar:
Scott Dixon
Helio Castroneves
Will Power

ALMS:
#6 Pickett HPD
#16 Dyson Lola-Mazda
#20 Dyson Lola-Mazda
#37 Conquest Morgan-Nissan

A little frustrating to be playing so poorly that I’m still behind somebody who hasn’t been playing for 4-5 weeks…

I did look at past results for the Level 5 cars, which suggest one will do well, but not which one!

The one I don’t pick, as a general rule

So, Week 27… time to get aggressive in pursuit of Sebastian I think.

A lot of weeks left with some busy weeks amongst them, and not that many points between us. My aim is to look for safe and consistant to try to stay ahead, but an unlucky week or two can easily wipe out the advantage.

ALMS:
#6 Muscle Milk (Luhr/Graf)
#16 Dyson (Dyson/Smith)

Formula One:
Sebastian Vettel
Mark Webber
Fernando Alonso
Kimi Räikkönen
Lewis Hamilton
Nico Rosberg

Indycar:
Will Power
Ryan Hunter-Reay

I did look at past results for the Level 5 cars, which suggest one will do well, but not which one! I did consider Massa, who did quite well last time at Hockenheim apart from pesky team-orders, and I wonder if Franchitti’s recent bad results have been most about rotten luck, but then maybe it is better to pick someone luckier.
