R.I.R. Formula 1 racing @ Eagle Raceway

If NASCAR has already obtained its honor on the grid, Formula 1 still has a long way to go. For example, R.I.R. has arranged a Formula 1 race, all of you remember how many people usually show up for their regular events? Well, F1 had only 4 racers.

Formula 1 cars aren't handled the same, so after the 16th lap and the second pit-stop Badguy arrived at a conclusion that he had enough and pulled over. Sharon was more patient - she pulled over after the 26th.

Apparently that's the kind of the race where experience rules, and Grosmanteau has a lot of one - even after the pit-stops he remaned 1st, the only major difference was in the gap between him and Eagle. 

Eagle himself was doing fine too, especially at the start when he took the lead position (with Grosmanteau on  his tail, but not too close) but the track is pretty dufficult, with lots of holes in the barriers where racers drove into from time to time and were losing their time getting back on the track, and Eagle wasn't an exception - on the 4th lap, he bumped the barrier and it took about 15 seconds for him to pull back into the track, meanwhile Grosmanteau passed by and remained the 1st position till the end of the race.

Their final positions weren't too different from the starting ones - Badguy and Sharon switched places, but their qualifying time differed in just 1,5 second.

Let's take a look at the stats:
