So who did the 2,000,000th mile?

I've got a feeling it was during the 2.4hrs @ Le Mans, so I'm in for a chance, but maybe that's why you were a late entry Tim?

This is a good point. It would be nice to see who completed it though!
Would have to subject the laps from the last weeks events to figure it out.

Well, we're about 17,000 over 2mil now. It took us almost 3 seasons to get from 1mil to 2...averaging close to 330,000 miles a season. 17,000 is about 5% of a season and a season is around the 80-90ish day range, max. Considering that we don't run a race everday and that every day that we do race has events with variable lengths, my guess would be that we hit the milestone about a week ago but probably before the Le Mans race. Just a rough guesstimate, though.

yeah yeah... :)

My question here is, though, do the independent chapter miles count? A couple weeks for close to 20k seems kinda fast...

errr...forgot that S6 was still a 4 month season instead of the 3 we run now, which would alter the average per season quite a bit. Nevermind, was probably close to a few weeks ago, maybe a month.

ok I'll admit it I did the 2,000,000th mile on my way to 4th place in the rftcc race ;p

Surely Miles are calculated by the whole field doing a mile, and not each individual mile done by each individual person, right?

I'd guess it is individual as Conor won $1000 for doing the 1,000,000th.

You didn't?
