Hard out races, thats for sure! I was the unwitting catalyst for Snakes unfortunate air time - lol - sorry about that man =]
I clipped a short (3 meg) WMV of Riven pulling an overtake off into T1 in BUSY traffic... things didnt go well!

The same sort of thing happened twice more before he got past properly - the poor bugger!

Np prom, It was awesome fun trying to storm my way back through the field.Prometheus wrote:
Well I was the unlucky fool being in the wrong place at the wrong time who took out Mr Wood in race 1. Too fast, spun, lost control, and wiped him out. As mortified as I was, I seriously considered dropping out of race 2, as I thought I would be just a danger to everyone else.
Certainly was a lot of carnage about, hopefully it will be more settled next week.
Brake on the straight before it's too late.

i reckon thats why he was banished to the rear of the grid for race two.

I may have contributed to this. I have a GPL shifter and it decided to die on me as we were taking off behind the pace car. It just wouldnt engage a gear.BAZZIL wrote:Is Nathan going to get pinged for this ? this is the second race i've seen him do this in, and it screws everyone behind him.Race 1 started in two groups courtesy of Nathan Smith who seemed to hang back and the top 10 quickly opened a gap
I had to duck inbehind the pc, unplug and replug it back in. Luckly this did the trick and I was able to get going. But I did stall on the grid for a short while (seemed like an enternity!).
Cheers

while it's not the policy of the officials to discuss penelties in a public forum, he was penelized and put to the rear of the feild for race 2BAZZIL wrote:Is Nathan going to get pinged for this ? this is the second race i've seen him do this in, and it screws everyone behind him.Race 1 started in two groups courtesy of Nathan Smith who seemed to hang back and the top 10 quickly opened a gap
nope, your shifter issue had nothing to do with it, you where in th correct postion when you approached the start line, nathan simply failed to move up behind you.Tickford wrote:

Ok I'm not trying to cause grief or argue Ron I just want to clear something up incase it happens to me. I may have the in-game rules confused or they may be different for the tptcc mod.ronwest wrote:snakes gets pinged as well for holding his line back, thou it's only an ip point.
Wasn't Snake required to stay behind N Smith unless his spotter gave him permission to pass? If he had caught up with his pacing line he would have passed Nathan and recieved whatever the games penalty is for overtaking before the start line?
Obviously I have something slightly wrong here ?
Cop: Are you OK?
Randolph: I don't know. I'm kinda ****ed up in general, so it's hard to gauge.

in short you wont get a penelty unless you pass the guy in front of you in your line of cars

I hope I didn't contribute to this broken field issue too much, every race so far I've found that the cars infront leap away up 50+mph then slow dramatically, the concertina affect, in the second race I had to take evasive action off the track to avoid piling up the guy infront.
Also I've been trying to follow the 0.5 sec gap, pace speed until start line then accelerate rules, I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one.
Maybe its just me in that I'm slow away or something..thoughts?

No, there is at least two of us.Sulley wrote:Also I've been trying to follow the 0.5 sec gap, pace speed until start line then accelerate rules, I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one.
i think the first rank take off... then every body goes 80mph to catch them... then discover that the leaders are only doing 40mph.. hardbrake = concertina. then the hard brake lets the lead rank get away again and it starts all over again. etc etc ad nauseumSulley wrote:Maybe its just me in that I'm slow away or something..thoughts?
hopefully with th new suggestions made we can prevent the rapid speed up - brake movementsSulley wrote:I hope I didn't contribute to this broken field issue too much, every race so far I've found that the cars infront leap away up 50+mph then slow dramatically, the concertina affect, in the second race I had to take evasive action off the track to avoid piling up the guy infront.
