There's a simple and excellent way to fix this. Buy a wheel!

That is the simple answer, it has been said to me many times, and yes it is the obvious route to go for anyone wishing to improve their pace but it doesn't address the steering restriction issue with the controller. My own reasons for moving from the G25 I used to use back to a controller are different but what if someone had a disability and couldn't use pedals for instance?

Well then, you're stuck with a DS3 and having the additional disadvantage of not being able to get your tires to turn in long, fast sweeping turns. DS3 users however, have a certain advantage over wheel users with their slow speed lock to lock capabilities.

Yeah, your first point is the issue that @SAMHAIN85 raised initially. While I don't wish to get into one of those flaming wheel vs controller arguments, I do think when competing against the top drivers there is more time lost in the fast turns than there may be gained in the slow.

That may be true but, the counter point to that is the advantage DS3 users have recovering from catastrophic oversteer events. As far as I'm concerned, it's a wash. I'd still not consider using a DS3 myself, but that's just because I suck in all things with a DS3.

 

[turnupdaheat]

Yeah I did mention that a while back but catastrophic oversteer events are best avoided as they tend to slow you down no matter what device you use!

Hi boys and girls.... and especially the May 2016 Data Specialists

We need the May data completed before the end of day Saturday this week so that I can:

1. Archive the data, and
2. Set up the Race of Champions​

Without the Data, the ROC gets even more complicated.

The following is lacking/missing:

May 22

Div 1: No Data entered
Div 3: No Data entered. (Mr. Birdy promised he will get it done - thanks)
​

May 15

Div 1: Total Times for all 6 races missing (It's the scorekeepers job to enter these times, but you can get that from the replay with some quick fingers and a calculator. Even if it is off by a couple of 10s it is better to have than not. Score keeper should pay attention though...)
Div 2: Data incomplete
​

May 8

Div 1: Total Times for all 6 races missing (see comment above)
Div 2: Qually time for Round 2 missing (Scorekeeper's job . Data man can only get this if he took pictures)
Div 4: Round 1 Race 1 - how many laps did you run? (if the Total Time is a typo then it is an easy fix)
​

May 1

Div 5: Round 2 Race 2 data missing
​

I wasnt sure how to put the total time in. There has been many races where people sat out and several laps behind and didnt finish the race.

The total time is simply the winner's time to complete the full race. If someone does not finish the race within the 90 seconds from when the winner crosses the finish line just leave their gap time blank.

Yea ive been doing that. I thought Rednose was referring to that fact that I was leaving them blank. Ill go back in and review the data

 

[CoachMK21]

I was going to say, guess this track, but it's listed on the picture. This was a ChumpCar race last year and it makes me laugh everytime I see it. Flyin' Miata isn't just a brand, it's for real.

Look at the Total Time cells above. They are blank as he said.

@Rednose58, I acknowledge there are gaps in the D2 data also. It was an unusual month in that those responsible for data input (me included) missed a few nights racing. My thanks to @Dragonwhisky for doing the duty on the 22nd. I will download the relevant replays and fill in the gaps asap.

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

I need the link for data and this is the quickest way to get it

 

[CoachMK21]

Oh well, I tried and failed.

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

I didn't make it I just use it

Data done for D3

Without even playing the video I would guess Mazda Laguna Seca straight to turn 4

Wrong turn, but correct track! This would be heading into the turn after the sweeping left hander that is after the corkscrew... Not sure of the turn number though

How the hell did he get up in the air like that?... It looks like a GT glitch

MONSTER LAG

That is what happens when tyres protrude past the fenders. See also why I refuse to run events where open wheel cars and tin tops are on track together.

This is where I got my wheel from. Good service and fast shipping.

Nope... prove GTS is going to be worth the cost of entry then I will

May 22 D1 data entered. May 15 D1 total times entered. I didn't race on the 8th, so perhaps someone who did can enter those total times.

Project cars alone is worth the cost of admission!!!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Project cars alone is worth the cost of admission!!!

And Battlefield 4, and Batman: Arkham Knight, and DOOM, and...
