It's opening for me now as well. Looks like things are back to normal. 👍

Thank goodness. I will start the backup process tonight after I pull in the sheets for this week. Will make another announcement when it's ready for data entry specialists to do their thing. It's the end of the season so it will be good for all the data entry to get done earlier rather than later, so we can clear the month and get ready for August.

yes all functions seem to be working, but i do not have access to edit, so i cannot verify anything more

Do you plan to assist with data entry?

That second time I mz braking I gas it last second to avoid contact and that's when I went off track, earlier in race when I went off track tried to not re enter track but was sliding threw grass, I noticed I making more mistakes in div 1 then 2, but that's a good thing, shows I'm trying to be completive, one thing I learned early in life was not to give up, so I'm going to keep showing up and 1 day when I get a wheel, watch out div1 guys lol

I think you're doing great considering you're on a controller. That's probably part of your problem with the reverse grid as well. Not that you are doing anything wrong, but all the D1 drivers (myself included) need to remember you're on a controller and give you some extra buffer room. A wheel is definitely more precise, so in side by side racing, you need a little more leeway to account for that. Do remember that on your side as well that you can't race quite as close side by side as you might see others doing.

I jst want to say I really enjoy racing with u guys in div1 even it might not seem like it when I type in chat box in rm, Im learning some skills racing with u guys but also I keep making mistakes reverse grid races because I know I'm slowing u guys up, slower guys need to be respected too, one thing I'm learning is u guys race more aggressive then other divisions So I'm starting to be more aggressive too, but I can't jst can't let ppl pass because I won't learn nothing, Srry for my mistakes with Lamborghini combo, another thing we all should practice is if we get raced dirty, hard, etc etc is not to take are frustration on another driver during that race.

Just be patient when you have a car like the Lambo that is high speed and has not-so-good brakes. Most of the time, the smallest difference in timing your braking point will be amplified, I saw you coming and made room to avoid you t-boning me, which was fine until you top it off with the unsafe re-entry that agitated me.

At the same time that braking characteristic can also be used as a very effective weapon to take the inside line from someone by braking a hundredth of a second later because the defender is still at threshold braking when you sneak up along side him, he will be unable to alter his line and you'll snatch his apex. It may seem like a divebomb but it's fair play at this level. timing is key here.
Anyway it's cool man, you are fully aware of the mistakes, both yours and ours and you're improving by the race. Looking forward to more fun racing with you in the future.

If the two of you are going to discuss racing incidents in the thread, you had better file some incident reports for the stewards to take a look. If you fail to do so, you will be subject to thread penalties.

D1 replays uploaded - good luck stewards ;)

Ha, well I for one have no clue why the stewards would see anything "off" in D1's racing last night (slowly walks out of the room)

Seriously though, super fun racing last night, it was a little dirtier than usual, but 14 drivers and a lot of new drivers I expected that coming in.
 
There were definitely some bumps and bruises last night, a few intentional and quite a few unintentional but one thing is for sure, ALL RACERS NEED TO ABIDE BY THE RE-ENTRY RULES! If you go off track, do NOT just drive back on as if nothing happened. If you can see in your mirrors and/or the mini map that you have a gap, then rejoin OFF OF THE RACING LINE until you are back up to speed and your tires are cleaned off.

There was quite a lot of unsafe re-entry last night. I consider bumps and bruises just a product of hard nosed racing, but the unsafe re-entries last night was absolutely ridiculous!

The same goes for the two of you. If you're going to discuss incidents in the thread, there had better be some incident reports to go along with them.

Last night I pulled out one of my best performance ever but I'm still kinda figuring out how I did it, eheheh.
Great night D3. You guys and girl are amazing and racing with you is fantastic. Too bad I have to loose next Sunday.

Ditto!!! Wow!!! The respectful racing that takes place in this group is truly commendable! Great racecraft gentlemen!!!

Heard loud and clear! Just to clarify (keep in mind I am agreeing with you 100% here) a lot of what we are talking about is two people racing, attacking the track differently and going for the same result. Which leads to bumping...until we all get used to each other. Everyone has different "styles" when it comes to racing this game, some go for super smooth perfect apexes others brake super late turn in hard and then get on the gas...etc.

I am planning on reviewing the replays tonight when I get home, seeing if any warrant a stewards review.

Technically, you all but accused other drivers of breaking the rules. I bolded the part where you did so. So, technically, even though you didn't name any names, you are discussing, what appear to be reportable incidents, in the main thread.

There seems to be a trend lately of obliquely bringing up incidents in the main thread. This needs to stop.

If it didn't happen to me it's not my place to report it. Please don't assume, I was simply agreeing with what others had said. Yes, there were a couple of instances where someone did not follow the rules upon re-entering the track and what I MEANT that post to do is remind them of the correct way to re-enter the track safely.

I didn't assume anything. I read what you wrote and took it at face value.

If you mean to remind someone how to re-enter the track, file the IR and let the stewards give them a six point penalty for it. That should go a lot farther in reminding someone than a general reference in the thread.
 
I don't think so qwietstorm. You baldly stated you witnessed intentional and non intentional violations of the OLR, here in the thread. You called it complaining, I did not. I made no mention of your intent. It appears it is you who are making assumptions here, not I. Now, you may carry on.

I personally choose not to invest too much hope into the IR system because of my personal experience in the past. I do not suggest that others do the same. It's just my opinion. I know that the majority of D1 reads the thread religiously and figured it would suffice.

@Dragonwhisky it's over already. Just let it go. I'm done.
 
Just wanted to say that the GUYS and LADY in D3 made my first night racing in S . N . A . I . L go 100 times better than I expected ;it was a very laidback,relaxed and social atmosphere ( THAT IS UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO RACE ) then it was all about business. My hats off to tccrash15 for the way he hosted and ran the room explained everything that needed to take place and how he expected all the drivers to conduct themselves was to the point . no delays . I had a very enjoyable first night the guys and lady who whooped up on us pretty good raced me clean and hard and I hope I did the same.Can't wait til next week. THANKS CAPT--DUBBS aka " STRDUBBS13 "
 
Hi guys, I was asked yesterday about what sensitivity I use for my controller, I use 4, I dont know much what it does and would much appreciate if u guys controller and wheel users can give me any suggestions on what is a good sensitivity is to use, I know different driving styles might use different #. Any advice would be nice, feel free to send a pm if u don't want to crowd the thread thx

I would use max sensitivity because it increases response time in certain areas, say a chicane where you quickly turn left to rught
