The test that was ran, no one might have set off whatever the bug was/is and this could rear its ugly head tonight, unless the track is updated.

I agree. A track file is not a big download, so there should be no issue with the late notice. Even for those on dial up.

Running 48.4 on smooth runs into the 48.3 area when pushing it a tad....20 laps and virtually no tire wear

This is an interest track, for one that you don't have to lift on, in that there are really subtle ways to make up time (without going below the line) where you wouldn't actually expect them to be, and any gains get carried the whole way around the track.

It will be interesting to see what the pole time will be, and what the spread of qualifying times is.

Not that it makes any real difference for such a long race, but it's still interesting to see different peoples solutions are to this track.

RACE DAY BABY!

Also Important to Note

Known bug:

The pace car takes off really quick and slows down to enter pit road.
Passing the pace car will bring out the caution before you take the green flag at start of race, so beware.
Pit road speed is 60 MPH...that was never recorded in the game so it never is said. Pit road speed is written on the pavement twice and on the wall.

So for the pole car understand that although the pace car is going quite fast, the pace speed is in fact 60MPH. If you are going faster than that when the pace car pulls off and slows down, you will probably get a black flag for passing the pace car (we don't use caution flags). Cars behind simply stick with the pole car.

Pit speed is now recorded in the update as well as on the wall.

What is the race distance for the VRC race tonight... ?? %

TonyG · Post by **TonyG** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 5:35 pm

Normal 25%

Well the pit entry/exit "fix" appears to be an insane increase in the grip level of the pit entry/exit areas

Which is all good by me. Nice fast entry.

Engine failures are not cool

I was having the usual Momo controller problems and when I got taken out in just another of jbr's accidents that was enough for me. JBR is just a menace on the track and seems to ruin races for quite a lot of guys.

Quite a tough track for an enduro.

Post by **Jetboy** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:03 pm

Lost the will after the PC decided to have one of its random restarts....unfortunately only 15 laps in...back in 6 laps down and just resorted to hanging on the back of drafts and giving them a hand

Apologies to [sack] tonight and hope to see Carnage and Wraith have a good finish (watched storm get taken out about 10 mins ago)

VENTRILO HAS A MUTE FUNCTION.....all this time and I never knew it was there....woot

Sulley · Post by **Sulley** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:41 pm

Yes engine failures suck arse

They can stick their camshaft up their you know what

Ah well, was going alright, except for a ferk up on lap 105, I take it the dud train didn't know I was trying to pit, was running on fumes, wrong side of track, sideswiped by a yellow/black car, into the wall, panicked and slammed on the anchors and then didn't quite judge it to get over to pit lane with 3 tyres, sorry to those follwoing, thankfully it wasn't worse.

Suspect that was mostly my fault and just bad luck.

Got JBR'd earlier and lost a couple of places, looked like a lose on his part and I was unlucky to get collected.

Good drafting with Storm for quite awhile and then the dud train until things went ye olde pear shaped..ah well, all good bring on next week.

Just think i was lapping just fine with everone sitting in 10th untill i too got take out ended beached on the hill with a 5min toe thanks to who-ever that was

But i guess the guy tring to fight on his own is always in the wrong

My machine locked with about 50 laps to go, then went for a couple of seconds, then locked again, then went again, locked and went, locked and went, I tried to get off the track as quickly as possible and stopped, so sorry to anyone on track that it might have been affected by this, if there was anyone.

Quite the eventful race >8p
Sorry to Noon who I dinged, and Sully who I sandwiched into the wall cause I didn't know you were there

.

Looks like a dud night for SackTV.

Lots of fun, and apols to the Duds train near the end - simply lost awareness of "car outside"

doh !

Happy · Post by **Happy** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 12:43 am

oh yes, thats right, you just jammed it down on top of me Prom, she was a bit tight wasnt it.

Wraith · Post by **Wraith** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 12:44 am

Awesome work duds, that was a real draft track.

Never got caught up in a decent ding, made 1 less pit stop than the field and still a lap down

Spent too much time on my own, but at least my pit stratedy helped

Bad luck to those who had, discos, engine blows etc, really sucks, had my turn at that a few seasons ago in the enduro but that was 10min from the end

Had the Momo pedal problems last week, did the fix and they have been all good. Home late tonight and logged in just after 9, 2 laps in and the pedals fail again. Plug in the old Saiek 220 and get 10 laps practice. Didnt qual as didnt want to start in the middle with a wheel that im not comfortable with. Worked up to 11th with 2 pits to go and get a black flag. Didnt hear the spotter so did a drive thru. Black flag didnt clear. Did another slow lap and a it was a stop go penalty. Still ended up 13 overall. So a good race for me after all the problems at the start.

MLC lift your game, Im the teams leading points scorer. And that doesnt sound right.

Big Al · Post by **Big Al** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 1:02 am

shit track, shit race. Sorry to Inspector I think you slowed for Eagles blown engine which i was not expecting and i didnt slow enough and then i nearly took you out on pit exit after the first stop. Sorry to Riven also, not sure what excatly happened but i dont think i did anything stupid just an accident.

looking forward to next week.
