End of the Mini-Streak ...

The 2013 WBC Formula 1 season saw another year of great attendance. Once again the tournament brought drivers from across the globe to the racing mecca of the world; Lancaster Pennsylvania. In the quiet countryside of hand churned butter, barn raising, and finely crafted furniture; the excitement that is Formula 1 racing took over for three glorious days. Using a three-heat format with the top ten qualifiers advancing directly to the Final gave racers a chance to play, have fun, and not need to race for days on end to maybe make the semi-final if they produced enough trade goods.

Each of the three heats had enough entrants to run boards of seven to nine drivers. Players were allowed to sit at any table of their choosing, eliminating lengthy randomization, while also allowing players to sit with their friends and have fun at 200 MPH.

The qualifying tracks were chosen at each table. Many chose the action of Monaco this year where a missed turn can take you from near victory to the back of the pack in a hurry. Another track seeing considerable love was Portugal; a fast track that rewards the quick-paced racer and allowing ground to be easily recovered if you have a miscue.

The 2013 Final was not played on the large scale track as in years past. 2013 saw the use of the Night Race Street track from the Asmodee Games Edition of Formula D. Moving forward this will be the official version in use as they have become a great sponsor for the event - providing multiple prizes.

Let's get back to the action.

The starting grid was filled with ten unique qualifiers - heat winners all. Everyone was present for the start time. Pit boxes were chosen, gear boxes were thrashed, tires were shredded, brakes were burning red, and there could be only one winner.

After the first corner, the racers left six debris spots behind in the "Chemical Plant". This would prove hazardous for the next two laps, cutting off clean lanes and making driving difficult. In the end Rejean Trembley emerged victorious by overtaking Nick Henning. Nick enjoyed a big lead but suffered damage to his car and the pit crew made the decision to ease it around to a second place finish. Better second than out was the decision.

There was much more action to report, however I must admit that the complete record of the race has been lost, perhaps absconded by the Ferrari Team to use as inside information for next year.

Who needs a pencil?
