Zen Joltis

A place to start talking about the race until I can get to wrinting a story.

Mega Superspeedway
5 miles long and speeds reach close to 240MPh if I remember correctly.

I have yet to test the fast setup for gearing changes, so if some of the drivers can take a look at this in the draft it would be helpful.

should be a great drafting track, only problem I've found is pit entrance speed, it is quite open and easy to get in too fast, bit of practice is needed to get it right

Is it Wednesday??

Because of the size of the track tonight I think the rookie race will be a bit boring with so few numbers.

Therefore all NZNL drivers are invited to race tonight in the rookie race and help the rookies with drafting. It is important for the senior drivers to to race hard so they are on pace and not causing accidents trying to keep out of the rookies way. I will leave it up to the individual senior drivers to read the race and look to assist slower cars, especially the ones who have lost the draft of the main pack. I would ask that you keep an eye on your race position and make your own decisions on when or if you can back off and give the rookies back some of the top positions. This is however not mandatory tonight. If you are helping second place draft and there are no other rookies near by then it would be silly to drop off and leave him by himself at the end. However if you are leading the race or around a group of competing rookies, choose your time carefully toward the end of the race to be at the end of their draft so they can fight out the final few laps for a winning position.

Tonight would be a great opportunity for the senior drivers to really assist the rookies and I look forward to as many as can make it turning up to help out.

Qualifying is at 7.45pm but only the rookies are allowed to qualify.

Cheers

...short night.

9 minute tow, It's not worth piddling around the back off the field on the the most boring track in existance in hope of picking up a few extra points.

Sorry Monsters

Cya next week.

Unfortunately that was me that you hit Wood, Sorry. I had been taken out, I looked down the track, but I counldnt see any cars when I started to turn until it was to late, I looked at my replay and had about .5 seconds from the time he appeared to when we hit.

Mikool was very lucky in that ding, there must have been 1-2mm berween his car and mine while I was spinning

What a race eh? Pretty tense at times I tell you.

Little disappointed in getting caught up on the first pit but managed to crawl back to 4th after a thrilling last 4 laps with Inspector.
:P Sorry dude, I had to try something..

Thanks all for the good night.

my race ruined courtesy of Typhoon who doesn't quite realise you don't draft bumper to bumper in the CORNERS when you're in a train of 6+ cars

Bold · Post by **Bold** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 11:15 pm

F2 aint going to help if the server isnt sending the car to you... as Flyboy said, it appeard .5 sec before he hit it, it wont have appeared in the list untill the same time.

It's alright Fly, I saw your car from a very long way off, but because its black I couldn't figure out whether it was actually a car or the signage on the wall

220mph + is very fast and by the time I identified your car I had to make a snap call I chose the inside just as you started moving off the track... Shit happens, I'm moving on.
