Anyway, what track is next week's race going to be at? I need to do some practice to try and pick up a few points.

Another of my favourites, the Nurburgring GP course, super fast track with some excellent corners where you can gain quite a lot of speed if you're daring enough, a lot like Spa really.

NTSC Annoucement:
GP2 driver Z is once again racing tonight, taking Nicksfix's (ImagineByLennon's new name for those who don't know) seat.
 
So who is hosting tonight's race then?
Btw, I am sorry if it is me you are talking about, I know I do get a little stressed out sometimes, but that's only due to my competitive nature. Also, I am very very very sorry if I have caused you any discomfort in the championship and I would be happy to repremand and mistakes or offence that I may have caused you and would be willing to take any punishment that fits the crime. This should be a happy, fun environment so i apologise if I have spoiled that for you or anyone else.

You're ok Kak, you didn't do anything bad, if you had you would know about it!

I'm referring more to anyone who takes it too far, causing a massive argument in this thread or hurling abuse or anything like that, I know we haven't had anything like that yet and we probably never will, but just in case ;)
I'm just trying to keep all sides happy here, lol, I know we all get a bit annoyed sometimes in races, thats fine, you can even complain here and let it out, just as long as you are understanding afterwards.

I believe you should be hosting? ;) If thats ok?
 
Yeah that will be fine :)

Good luck to everyone and I hope to see you there as well Pepsi, even without practice, like Ardius said, you can still do very well with consistent driving. The only thing I will say is if you are considerably slower than the front runners, then just remember to be as considerate as possible. That really goes to everyone lol.
Also, just to add to that, I am terrible at Spain, but I will still participate, so you should too :D

EDIT: ALSO, CAN PEOPLE TRY AND GET THERE A BIT EARLIER, i've noticed that some people are sometimes about 5 mins late, which, in some circumstances is understandable, but it will help to know when to start if everyone is a little earlier than usual.

No your fine Kak.:sly:

And I will attend this race by the way, but don't expect anything superb from me.

Ardius, now I know what to practice. Thanks for that.
 
Echoed above. This is for fun. I've thoroughly enjoyed my few races so far, because it is good fun, even when 6th.
 
Horrible race. It seems i punted Kakundoo 2 times of the tracks and the weird part was that i didn;t even touched him. Sorry again Kakundoo:(
 
I think I'm gonna give the NTSC guys some real world reference for the race:




If the organizers don't mind, I'd like to do this for the rest of the races just to give everyone in their respective regions good refference and a good chance to practice what they've learned.
 
Great race! :D
Qualified 2nd by a good margin, but was significantly slower than Gyles. Drama at turn 1 when I was hit up the back and thus going into last place! :(
I pushed really hard from then on, but tried to be consistent as well, I passed Pepsi on that lap and began hunting down Sureshot. I think he made a mistake and I was able to overtake him, putting me in 3rd place and then I was hunting down Appie. I knew I was faster from the qualifying and just after the first round of pit stops, i was in 2nd.
From then on, it was a quiet racem until lap 15 when strangely Appie was right up with me after I had pitted (I thought he had already pitted).
So then he smashes into the back of me at the hairpin and flies off. That lap was a disaster for me and I was making lots of mistakes. But then I contained myself and saw Appie speeding from the pitlane, and I overtook him, from there I just had to hold him off, which was difficult at first until he spun off on the last lap.
I am thrilled with my 2nd place :D

Congrats Fishfash! :D

EDIT: Don't worry about it Appie, no hard feelings :)

Could have been me at turn one, I had a broken nose and if you were on the outside of T1 then it was me who hit you. Apologies, got distracted by someone on the inside and underestimated braking distance. I did think it was you who I hit, tried waiting, but just had loads of AI. I had made a corner cut at the first left-right-left, due to back coming out, I saw you were close and didn't bother accelerating till you had gone past.

In total, I probably made a minutes worth of mistakes. Had to be respawned 3-4 times...
 
Terrible race for me, and that will be the last time I will be using Auto gears 👎

There was no fun today and I had 6 penalties and 3 spins. Just had no consistency and was lapping around the high 1:15's and mid 1:16's. Managed to do a lucky lap of 1:14.8 but that was just a one off.

Only managed around 11 laps with no mistakes. :nervous:

Just as well GT and Shaggy were not here today, otherwise I would have finished 3rd.

This is a tough track for penalties. Lots of fast corners. Getting around here with a quick clean lap is very rewarding. I've been touching 1:18.9 in practice but i don't think I can push that hard for 20 laps and be error free.

Like last week I'll have an open room about an hour before racetime, so there may be some randoms in there, but it's just practice, so yeah NTSC guys feel free to join. 👍

Edit: 1:14s is insane!
 
I did get a 1'18.1, I was very happy with that. Was on my outlap from the pits.

Oh, I also had another drive through in the pits without my crew being there!
 
I really enjoyed that race. I got punted off at turn 1 which sent me flying, literally, into the barriers, backwards! That was probably the funnest part of the race, even though I was in last. I carried on and made a few mistakes, but I was actually laughing at myself for making those mistakes, and that actually gave me an advantage and it managed to keep me running at a consistent pace in my well known last place.

Laughing at yourself actually works, it gives you more concentration, it's worth it, especially when you are in last place, like I was all this race.
 
How far were you in front Fishfash? lol

At the finish I think it was over 1 minute. You guys obviously had more penalties than me !!!!

Auto gears are just boring, completly different kind of driving and braking points. Surprising I managed a 1:14.8 as I can do around a 1:14.5 with manual, very strange.

Also very easy to spin with Auto gears, you have so much better control with manual gears and it is 100 times more enjoyable 👍

:idea:And while you're at it, post the track map with the video!:D

To bad there seems to be no Imola track map anymore.:grumpy:
 
Great race guys. Thoroughly enjoyable. But seriously, did Racecar only have one pit stop? I thought I was ahead of him all race, until the last 5 laps. Congrats RACECAR!

I'll post the results in my F1CE Championship album shortly.

Again, great race guys, next is one of my favorites. . . NURBURGRING!!!:)👍

Had 2 stops, just streched out my fuel. Also, I hope I left everyone room. Tryed to be as careful as possible.
 
First off let me explain what happened before race,I stupidly set race up for 8 cars not 10. When I tried to edit settings it wont let you change that so I had to make a new race.Seems everyone had my ideal of starting in back of grid I goofed off for qualifying,so I would start at back them dang 5th right in middle of pack:nervous: Bad place to start. But I made it through OK I ran a slow and steady race. No spins no wrecks, Till wrecked with 5 laps to go I know it wasnt on purpose so no biggie. Seemed to be a pretty clean race cant wait for Nurburing.
 
Good job racecar well my race started out not too good i drove way out in grass in first turn hoping to miss crash no 1 around then bam get hit dont know who it dont matter just was not expecting anyone but myself to be that far out in the grass i get out of that mess LAST i dont think i could have driven any harder i had 1 penalty no crashes passed everyone clean no other problems except i just wasnt fast enough looool i tried out some new Carbon Fiber Wings they helped out a little my arms aren't as tired but speed wise they didn't help any looooooooooool dubs i almost got ya twice wasn't expecting to see you brake that early but i missed you looool 2nd one was real real close but all in all im happy to finish 3rd p.s. racecar slow down buddy you dont have to win them all loooooooooooooooooooool

To be fair, you only wrecked 'cause I tried to initiate auto-coitus going through the Villenueve curves. As a result, I *ahem* snapped off my front appendage. :|

Also, an apology to Mofongo for our collision at the start of the race. For whatever reason, the server reported you as being offline so I took whatever line I wanted through the first corner, but you were still racing.

(Yea, I probably need some sleep..)
