Managed a dirty 1:41, but averaging 1:42's. so we'll see how that works out...just happy the Mustang is done with. I'm sure that comes as a suprise to you all
For the life of me I can't get a clean lap that is anywhere good enough. I am in the consists 42's dirty with an unrepeatable 40 so it should be fairly close.
I do apologize Knight but i can not understand why car on fron of me (Your car) just stopped and got no chance to brake - need to see replay but i can swear that was no braking lights and evo stopped twice quickeer than i been expected.
Any way so shitty my car choice - be honest even didn't checked EVO as i choose car what i got sentiment. I had 1998 wagon and a lot nice bits in in - but gone due to high fuell price.
That onec again sorry - not intensional smash in pratty shit race.
Second race I got hit badly in the final corner at the end of lap 5 when I was still right on Goose's bumper and still had tourni within shouting distance
Then on lap 7 I got hit on the first lefthander leading up to the corkscrew after I had just made a pass on the corner before it. Then after I recovered I almost got squeezed of the road by someone else.
Couldn't do anything about either accident & lost so much in such short time I knew tourni was gonna be untouchable & Goose was still within reach but far away as well, that was very demoralizing.
I know mate, might have been a lag spike it is not your style, we have had some great battles. It was just the last straw, every week it is me getting sent to the back on the first couple of laps and it's grown a beard. I dropped out because in ten lap race from were I was going to end up I would have been lucky to see another car so I just couldn't be bothered. I knew from practice I could be fighting up at the front of Div 1 and having gone through a month of that bloody Mustang I was looking forward to being back in the chase...My zen has temporarily deserted me.
Brilliant Race 1 w/ Zeratul. I thought I had lost touch w/ him after slowing a touch to let Goose by so I didn't lose time in a battle. That notion backfired when I had to jump on the binders to keep from t-boning him when he got sideways on corner exit. I was able to catch Zeratul w/ 2 to go and an epic battle to the finish commenced. We were side by side going through the last right hander before the finish. I couldn't quite make it stick to keep the inside line into the final corner and had to settle for 2nd. Brilliant race!
Race 2 I lost out big time when I had to check up at the start for slower cars...then proceeded to get passed on both sides. I decided to let the fury die down and let things settle down a bit into T1. With Zeratul starting at the front, I was afraid he was going to dissappear on me while I tried to work my way through traffic from the back of the Div 1 grid. I was able to pick off cars as the corners and laps clicked off by keeping tidy lines while others washed out wide. 4 or 5 laps in I saw clear track to Zeratul. Caught Zeratul a couple laps later and settled into a nice game of chess. He ran a little 2 deep into T1, pushing wide, and I pounced making a move up the inside. Seeing the move coming Zeratul tried to get his Subie back down to the inside to protect...but it was too late. I was already there. He chased me for a few laps until contact w/ an Alien car sent him off track and back down the order. Had fun racing w/ Tourni for a few laps until I let him go, seeing others catching up. Ended up hanging onto the tail of Goose until the finish, taking my first EUSL Division win! Woohoo!
I've had a look at the replay and to me it seems to be a lag issue, the effect of the colission was way to much in relation to the speed differece of the cars. It should have been just a nudge.
Yeah no way should he have hit me that hard, he was right behind me...It's just a conspiracy of Turn ten, Microsoft and the occasional over enthusiastic driving that makes Sunday night somewhat less fun than it should be...
Now i know why Your frustraision is about - previously i had some lag ,wheel disconnecting, and gear change issue but all of them been menageable to compete and do not lose to much.....
But when something like that has happend You just asking myself - WHY THE FUCK ....... any way is still only a game fortunately.
Another thing is - i'm not going to defence Turn, Micro, etc. but is pretty big challange to have online racing for all over the world racers UK,USA,D.... sorry if i missed someone ;) - that i wish we all have 100Mbits Internet access on fibreoptics and private servers :-)
It is, its also one of the reasons why i drop points from the series. So when things like this happen, out of our control, it doesn't affect you too much. Still annoying as hell!
Yes the only a game aspect is fine but, as I have said before for some it's a hobby, and a hobby I have invested heavily in, race rig, wheels, pedals, monitor not to mention time and the new PC upgrades...I don't like to count cost, but it is a lot for a game. So when it goes pear shaped week after week...well...Zen...Knight... Zen.
Well, I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed that, but I loved the mustangs as well.. :)
Sorry king for wacking you up the arse on the first bend, again. Bloody cold tyres and offline, good job it was a 4x4 hey, good recovery and didn't lose too much, well, until you hit the sand trap :)
Nice idea tourni to split the divs and set off times, made a challenge even harder. Although, I do think our set offs were too short and didn't give them much chance to sort themselves enough. I know, I'm making things harder for myself and the Aliens, but maybe double the time ? Depending on track size and length ???
Did I mention, I hate Laguna ? ;-(
You did some great driving there helios, through the first section of the track there was very little gain. You did struggle more with the faster corners. :)
How did the new race format work out? grouping the aliens with a roll off delay?
How did the new race format work out? grouping the aliens with a roll off delay?
I liked it. It lets you see exactly where you stand in your division (thinking about it now, I may have actually had a Division win at Motegi in the Mustangs, just didn't realize it w/ the mass grouping). Another bonus is you can tell real quick wether the car behind you is for position or not...so you can make an easier decision if it's worth battling, or just letting the car go. Call it traffic management skills.

Parcells wasn't there but I like the concept. Have no idea what the delay was but it reads like it was too short? Parcells recommends a 10 second delay. That "should" prevent the aliens from catching us all at once and also allow some semblance of separation within each group when smaller groups of alien cars do catch up.
A 2 alien vs. 2 non-alien battle for position is much more pleasant and manageable than a 5 vs 5 battle for position where participants of both groups are more likely to suffer the consequences when different skill levels compete within and against each other on the track.
I'll make it this week boss just back from a week away with the kids
iam in. carnt see my name on sign up sheet.
Managed a dirty 1:41, but averaging 1:42's. so we'll see how that works out...just happy the Mustang is done with. I'm sure that comes as a suprise to you all
im not gonna be there tonight, gonna watch the footy
I might do the same, if I am not online don't wait for me.
For the life of me I can't get a clean lap that is anywhere good enough. I am in the consists 42's dirty with an unrepeatable 40 so it should be fairly close.
Bring back the Mustang!!!!

.
I found the Evo to be nearly a second quicker around Laguna. That just maybe down to my driving style.
Hello,
I am on and will take care of the back from the field!
JDANKERT
Hello,

JDANKERT
So the wife really wants to watch the football.

There's a man that has his priority straight.
I gave up watching england take part in any sort of sport - we fail :D
Just about had it...and I'll say no more.

Points updated.
Bastek and Antz go into the last 3 rounds with 1 point between them. Antz is charging hard for the win!
3rd is still anyones - only a few points sperate about 5 drivers!...
Bastek - You can get lag incidents that cause cars to warp about. I've had it before.. and its why i cannot rely on sim dam in this game.
Second race I got hit badly in the final corner at the end of lap 5 when I was still right on Goose's bumper and still had tourni within shouting distance

As always Parcells supports Tourni's decisions
