I think calling 9 engines letting out the fatal puff of smoke 'random' is very similar to this:
I also think that the game remembering 'engine stress' from praccy to race is a complete load of
, I, et al. have stressed the engine much before races (in fact at Piggzport I was caught making doughnuts at the end of the tunnel =]) and I went on to race and had no engine trouble what soever.I have had engines blow up before where I had previously not stressed the engine in practice sessions.
All the talk about 'drivers could have done something about it', 'that's just the random factor in the game', is just all porkie pies
It was obvious the setup revved too high in drafts (and that's not taking into account what the grill tape was set at) but it's fairly clear that the setup was part of the cause of the engine blow ups, we have raced here before with few or no engine blowups.
Whether the points count or not, those that got high places in the race still have an achievement - 1st or 2nd place in any race is tip top.
For everyone that had a good bit of luck in that race, or raced well and got a good place, there was someone else who had a shitter of a race. Lets not forget the 9 cars that went pop improved the finishing positions of alot of the drivers who's engines didn't go pop.
The only people I'd expect to be heavily against canning points are the likes of Skuz and Prom and the other few that finished in those first group of places and did not gain anything out of other cars' engines going pop.
