200 races and 500 shots
Jul 02, 2012

My firs idea was to make my milestone blog once I reached the 250 races, but as I reached both milestones at the same time, I thought it was better to mix it all in one blog full of pics and statistics.

These 100 races took me almost a year, since August 20th, but I think I got better myself and my results in the process.

STATISTICS:

Races: 200
Total distance: 29861.377 km (Increased by 18950.025 km)
Podiums: 33 (Increased by 26!!)
Victories: 2 (Increased by 1)
Poles: 5 (Increased by 5!!)
Track records: 2 (Increased by 2)
Team Championships: 7
Shots per race: 2'5 (However, during my first period here I barely uploaded any pic, so this number should be much higher)
DNFs: 18% (Reduced by 4%)

I've had fun with the poles. I remember my first one, not so long ago this season, FIA GT at Road America on rainy conditions that took the best of me. Somehow in the last 2 weeks I made another 4 poles. Still my win/pole ratio is a bit poor.
On the DNFs I managed to make, twice, 29 consecutive completed races, with a total of 1 DNF on 59 races. Unfortunately on the last races I haven't been so good.

Sims usage:
Race07: 51% (down by 9%)
rFactor: 23% (down by 1%)
GTR2: 19% (up by 1%)
netKar Pro: 4% (new)
Game Stock Car: 2.5% (new)
ARCA Sim Racing: 1.5% (new)
rFactor 2: 1% (new)
GT Legends: 0.5% (new)

Racing categories:
Sports Cars: 52.5% (up by 1'5%)
Touring Cars: 31% (down by 8%)
Open Wheel cars: 14% (up by 4%)
Stock Cars: 2.5% (new)

Most used cars:
1st: Audi R8 GT (21 races)
2nd: Volvo C30 (10 races)
3rd: Formula RaceRoom (9 races)

Most raced tracks:
1st: Brno
.....Nurburgring(9 races)
3rd: Istanbul (8 races)

This is most of the stuff... I'm still looking for my first drivers championship. It was close this season, but Alvin was more consistent than me on the last race, but the battle all season long was epic!
I can't finish this without saying I desperately need some rally competition, but the near/medium futures doesn't look bright. WRC3 new stages look good, but I don't have faith on the physics. Hope they prove me wrong.

Nothing more to add. Thanks T&T for this place, my teammates from Phoenix Racing, great place to be ;), Ed for the effort he puts on the IMSS chapter and everybody in this community, really, great racing I've had on all these 200 races, and counting for many more.

Leave you for now with a little teaser for next season and the community most liked picture of mine so far:

Cya on track,
Alberto.

@Kane: R2P automotically stores a bunch of statistics. Simply go to the 'History' tab, click on 'Sims: See all' and there you have how many races you've made with each sim, just do the maths to get the percentage.
I did the same post when I reached 100 races, so I just compared the numbers with that to find the variation.

What a great post Alberto! The combination of the pictures and detailed statistics is fantastic!

What method do you use to compile the statistics for the Sim percentage usage?

Thanks, guys!

@Garry: I also put the info on my 'About me' page. It was made using all three of them combined.

@Ed: Yes, Ed. It's a mod I found at racedepartment featuring Super Touring cars from middle and late 90s, specially the BTCC. Clicky here if you want

I second Andy's comments :) It's been great racing with you, and I consider myself lucky that you participate in my league. Thanks Alby!

BTW ... I recognize all the mods in your pics ... but what about that second one? Are those "vintage" Super Touring cars? ;)

Stud. I also like the background on this page. Chandra? Spitzer? Hubble?

Grats Alberto!

Your pics are outstanding and it's always a pleasure to race with you.

Nice one Alberto! As a driver you've no doubt improved in leaps and bounds, and your screenshots in the same way. Definitely one of the major screenshot contributors out there:).
