Races are 20mins, so number of laps will be different for each track.

It is best to be on teamspeak, even if only to listen, so you can at least hear whats going on, and also receive the friendly abuse that may be direct at you

Then next week, you'll be able to dish it back again

Very, Very good. Except when I crashed into a stationary mini

at full speed

, head on. Wow those minis are tough. Was Sasquatch I think, sorry matey.

Thought to myself, no one would park there car dead smack in the middle of the road, so they must have lost connection.......I'll just drive right through him............boy was I wrong.

Well done riven, too fast, too consistent, too much bloody horsepower

famin · Post by **famin** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 11:05 pm

yeah horsepower definitely counted on that track ... didnt it Jack... Inspector..???

We had at least half the race together and Id have a damn alfa or cortina all over me around T2 and then just B L A S T past them down the straight!!! I waved every time I went past just to be nice too....

I was wondering if the old falcon would last the distance tyre wise but Inspector tagged jack finally and they both dropped away.... whew...

Couldve thrown the proverbial blanket over us for much of the race.

If I hadve chosen a lesser powered car I wouldve been eaten alive but as it was... you cant beat cubic inches!!

Excellent racing, team!
I can see I'll have to practice practice practice!!
Had a great view of yeeharr trying to pole vault his Alfa on the start finish straight - wish I'd got a screenshot - was too busy trying to avoid him

Yup it was me

What happened was there was 3 -4 car pile up in front of me and I T-Boned one of them at full snot. At that precise second of impact my frame rate went down to 1 fps... I called out on TS to warn everyone i was parked in the middle of the road and i couldn't move. Then you came along a few moments later and found me unexpectedly 'stopped' in the middle of the track. When you hit me it sorted out my frame rate but you ripped off one of my wheels (i think) and i limped the mini around the track in 2nd gear and pitted. Finished the race 5 lapse down but still finished the race

2nd race was great even though i got a stop/go for cutting the track. I started off at the back of the pack but after 5-6 laps (i think) managed to get into 6th position behind inspector. I followed him around for a while and try as I may i couldn't catch him in his zippy grand dad wagon

He pulled away from me as i was bashing the dash board of my stang crying out 'god damned fords!'

Good racing to all and well down to thoughs who got onto the podium

as you do...

especially when you on the edge in power oversteer and chasing Jack.

How about posting the clip where you took out the alfa for me finally Inspector? That was sooo funny....

At least I apolgised for my mistake, stopped and waited for him to get in front of me again.

Driving on the edge will always mean racing incidents, there were plenty of them last night and that is fine, but you attack me, almost turning me round when you had heaps of room to pass without touching, then come completely across the widest part of the track and hit me again almost taking me out and not a word of sorry even after the race or in the forum which lead me to believe you might have done it on purpose, not that you haver done anything like that before I guess........

Yep. That was some good air. Amazing the super tough alfa drove OK after that. But I did lose a lot of grip at the end of the race. Presumably just normal tyre wear.

I should have just backed off - I didn't expect that car in front of me to fly the way it did when he hit the wall and then I hit his flying car methinks. The replay is funny to watch. I pass under his car and then fly.

And I can't believe I missed the start of the Mini race! I was expecting the warmup session. Doh.

It was still fun though. One day I'll get a mike properly setup on teamspeak. Shame it doesn't have that nice testing mode ventrilio has.

I almost crashed myself while watching in the mirror and laughing

hahah yeah mario and myself watched the replays on monday... carnage, I'm fairly sure I managed to drive under a flying car at the start of the main straight also (and just about crapped myself when it happened during the race

)
