Don't worry about my results from last week snoop as I don't want to upset anyone. I will be withdrawing from this event from today.
I will however run the Ring Endurance. Cheers

I don't know the reason but I find it a loss for the upcomming races.
Hope you change your mind.
If it has somthing to do with the plasing from Le Mans.
To my opinion that was correct also consistend with training time's, I was no ware near the CPro time's.
A pity to hat to mis the alps race hope to be there next week in Cataluna.
That was some good racing in room B. Sadly the Porsche wasn't very well fitted for the track, so I couldn't keep up.
Next week is a different story though. ;)
@Church is there any particular reason as to why your leaving? it would be a shame to see one of our top drivers drop out so soon in this series. Don't forget there are point drops :)
@Jorm Unlicky for today dude, although next week should be an interesting one as the pit stop handicaps will definately bring the pack closer together.
Overall the room B race was a success however there were a number of cautions and just to remind everyone that the cautions are available up to 80% distance which is the time the pits close. There were a few instances today where a caution could and probably should have been called and wasnt. Obviously whats done is done but if people are taken out by another driver and it is withing the usual Caution rules pdo not hesitate to call one (it makes the race that much more interesting)
I am still awaiting the room A results but I know these are on the way and as soon as I get them I will update the scores. Room B has already been updated. First of two point drops is after Suzuka which is the week after next.

I'm not 100% on the usual caution rules (1st series I've raced in with them). I've not yet any reason to call one yet (I think...), but are there some definitive rules or examples of when to call one?
Good racing again last night guys, lots of fun, Snoop you were really pushing me and I thought you'd be in front after my 1st pit stop. I think this is the last "confined" track so maybe less issues with cars stopped on/near raacing line... which I think caused you to fall back mid race.

- You can call a caution if someone causes you to lose position during the race through physical interaction - If you cause your own departure from the track, or accident or whatever, you cannot call a Caution. - Once you call a caution, everyone will slow down to 50mph. Do not come to a complete stop! - Those involve will rejoin the field where they are currently placed. - Restarts are single file. - Once all cars are within a car length of each other (within each group) and up to caution speed (50 mph) after completing the final corner the race leader will control the start by saying “3,2,1,GO" prior to the start finish line - No passing on restarts until you have crossed the start/finish line. - If you pass someone prior to the start finish line you must give back that position before the completion of that lap
Big apology to Snoop , I didn't see you coming out of the pits ......................I apologise for the crash.................also going to drop from this series , just don't seem to be able to get on the pace

Sim dude its a game don't worry I should have called my exit I just didnt think you were going to turn in so early. It would be a shame if you decide not to race. At the end of the day sim if you cant hit the pace its not the end of the world. Its about having fun and enjoying a race with other drivers. These cars can be a handful and you were running second before our coming together so you arent off the pace at all we just had a crash and probably should have called a caution. It would be a shame to see you leave the series so early.
I was running strongly and my lap times were competitive, with the top guys having an extra pitstop I was confident of a good finish. Then going down the hill flat out the wheel decides to go to the Xbox menu causing me to hit the right side barrier and spin out, by the time I got straightened out going again I was way way behind. Seriously pissed off and I quit the race. I doubt if I'll be racing anymore in this, ill see how I'm feeling next week.

That is SUCH A PISS OFF- it happened to me in the early stages of Le Mans last week. Not only did I have to hit the RESUME button to get back in control, my screen had switched to the TELEMETRY view instead of RPMs ect. so I had to monkey with that while trying to get back in the race.
I have no idea why that happens once in a blue moon but it does. Just curious if you also use an XBox wheel and maybe it is specific to it?
Back to the race. It was an interesting race for me. Started off backending my team partner and causing a caution and then picking up a few spots before getting hit and having to call a caution (thanks motor for helping me find my position) and then getting bumped again until finally I was running in last place. For the middle part of the race I was running all by myself in 3rd or 4th and all of a sudden around lap 25 Snoop is pressuring me from behind (no smart comments please), then Thane took his 2nd pit, I ended up in 2nd with him and Snoop right behind me for the last two laps. Whew after no pressure for most the race to that ending was INTENSE!
I had a good race in the A room. Busted ass the whole time to keep KC and Johnny in my sights. I was bummed Johnny hit that invisible lag car thingy, we could have had some more great racing for podium positions. Looking forward to the next run, not looking forward to 2 pit stops lol

I had a bit of an eventful race last week. Lag took me out twice and I lost all communication with max and possibly gizzie too as I didn't hear his caution.
Would it be possible during a race event for others in the household to not download or use things like Skype etc please. I had my Xbox in the dmz on my router since I've started racing and haven't had an issue until lately. Since last week I eventually got the port forwarding to my Xbox. Hopefully this helps getting this lag issue fixed. I also checked my upload speed and got 9.1gb which is more than ample.
after nearly 4 months I started my xbox for the first time today. No training, no tune, but I would like to race as guest driver for a single race. Only if there is a free spot in room b. My times will be terrible, but I slowly want to rejoin the party!
PLEASE someone sent me a tune for the Ford, the Porsche and the BMW. I will look, which car will fit my now really amateur driving. :-)
Thanks.

PS: It was tough in the last months. In my private life (now all is setteling down a bit), in my business (it will be "crazy" until summer) and personally (some health issues), but as I always said: I did not and will not give up!
Not sure what happend. Was hosting a lobby fine, tried to get into Max's and kept getting the player unreachable. Re booted several times, with different people, same thing. I could get into Snoops room though., oh well
Aren't you a privateer?
Yeah but still I NEED A PAINT PLEASE!!!!
Race Day!
I hear its one of Church's favorite tracks
This track is so loved I should stay in the pits...
I don't know the reason but I find it a loss for the upcomming races.

Results from Room A
On a different note, I hope you do plan to race church. Would not be the same without you.

I asume it will be Cataluna Grand Prix Circuit next week, not National Circuit.
Yes Full GP track
FYI Gents, the points sheet is now fully updated. A few place changes in the tables and dont forget 2 more races to the first points drop :)
Yea Seeker it's a Microsoft wheel.

Good race guys
looking forward to my Only 1 regular pits stop
unless of coarse you get smashed of the track and get ignored when you call a caution
Hey guys,
after nearly 4 months I started my xbox for the first time today. No training, no tune, but I would like to race as guest driver for a single race. Only if there is a free spot in room b. My times will be terrible, but I slowly want to rejoin the party!
PLEASE someone sent me a tune for the Ford, the Porsche and the BMW. I will look, which car will fit my now really amateur driving. :-)

Jdan its fantastic to see you onlline again i will stick you on the room b list and come and race when you can. see you on track in half hour :)
Max i assume you are ok to host room A?
The handicap pit stops in the points table are not up to date, correct? I will have three stops?
Not sure what happend. Was hosting a lobby fine, tried to get into Max's and kept getting the player unreachable. Re booted several times, with different people, same thing. I could get into Snoops room though., oh well
