I didn't see it in the main interweb lobby, just join via direct IP.

last time we played we had to connect via that public internet list.

Its direct IP this time, mostly to keep out the tards, along with the password. Hoping it'll also fix other issues

well apologies for being in the wong car to start with - I saw some others the same colour so thought I had the right one! ie cant tell a mustang from a falcon - at least from cockpit view
Disappointed esp in 2nd race to lose connection again as I hit the button to join the race - had thought things were Ok after 10 minutes stqble in qualifying - never had these problems in the GTR league - shame

I had a dreadful night. My cars were overstearing sensationally and pulling left OR right under anything but the very gentlest braking. I won't be back to get in your way if I can't find a solution to the problem.

That was fun.

I made a few dumb mistakes - drove out into the track after a crash at one point - sry about that.

Did a Hail Mary dive on Wood into T1. Woops. I'll try not to do that again.

Game ran great technically it seems for a big field. Yay.

Good racing guys!

The 2nd race rocked, love that Alfa!

One pointer for Apeshit, re: Blocking

The rules in RL and when we race are that you are allowed to move once in one direction. After that, you have to let the other person go past.
i.e. someone coming up behind on a straight, you can move once to block (providing it's done safely), but not move back the other way.

Swerving left, right, left, right to keep someone behind you is not permitted.

Knock that on the head and all is good.

good bit of fun =]

Soz famin for the ding I just wasn't expecting your mini to brake that early it was the first time I'd been behind you , I pulled out to pass with my foot down of course and clipped the side of you as you braked.

Most drivers brake very late into that corner in the mini because that's where it's strength is, but I suppose I didn't allow for the less experienced :/

Noon416 · Post by **Noon416** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 10:47 pm

lol, and you wonder why people say you've got an attitude...

I don't have to deal with it, Apeshit. Them's the rules, whether you feel you're bound by them or not.

Have you actually raced in RL (as per your supporter's claims)?
Have you ever watched any motorsport?
Have you had anything to do with motorsport?
It's a rule that stands in all motorsport in all forms.

So I suggest you lose the attitude and start reading up on the most basic of racing rules and etiquette.
Others are willing to give you a chance, but I'm fast losing patience with the uncooperative attitude you continue to display.
After the recent fiasco, did you really want a second chance? Seems not...

or the fact that the mini was damaged... see the sparks? sparks mean damage, damage means slower... logic... bit beyond you at your speed I spose... ah well I suppose I should just roll over and accept it.

I realise the mini wasnt the fastest car in my hands but I was having fun dicing with the back end of the field till then. Yes I was less experienced in the mini, and you are quite correct you didnt allow for it. Others might have.

Bold · Post by **Bold** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 10:50 pm

Well I had fun tonight

The second race in particular was good fun and quite stressful..

Your racing was pretty good tonight Apeshit, apart from the blocking of Noon, which was a bit blatant. I'm pissed off I bolocksed the last chicane and let you back past though

I can't see sparks from other cars, I thought your car was in tip top shape.
My apologies.

Wood · Post by **Wood** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 10:54 pm

Cheers for the race guys, Jumping from the Falcon to the mini was pretty bloody scary

It took quite a while to get used to the steering wheel after helming the tillar for the first 20 laps

Was a great battle in the first race, almost harpooned in to ya riv into turn 1, braked just a touch too late, barely managed to pull it up

.

The second race was pretty lonely, I managed to pop it into first going into T1, twice :>_<: loked fronts for awesome understeer action into the barriers.

Roll on next week

Yes wood, I almost harpooned you just after you passed me going into the tight chicane.. had all fours locked up :O

I expect your Mini will eat my Falcon next week at SMondello

On the subject of blocking...I would like to put a protest in against Famin for setting his Mini up sideways so I couldn't get past.
I have evidence to support my protest.

Server Replays - Both are ~17MB

Race 2

Bloody good stuff Riven.

Sorry to Inspector for the tap on corner one, i was more looking in my mirrors and not the cars in front but tried hard to not hit you, i lose 1000 points.

But bloody good racing and the server ran flawless if people were wondering. GTL makes for fantastic good close racing.

Someone didn't learn a thing from that thread... or has hopelessly mistaken fair and square ribbing that follows a race with CS style trash talk.

I'll add...Sorry to Inspector for the tap on corner three, I was tempted to slam on the gas & pass but thought better. Thought I was safe with the braking and holding back but somehow the space ran out.

Not Inspectors night ah

Nice 5th place with locked wheels all the way in race 1 Liquid
