I've got a lot of catching up to do in the next round.

You're still in the running but Dusty does have a good lead.

With one drop score....
1) Dusty: 191
2) Rolo: 190
3) Ian: 186
4) SkengD: 181
5) Street: 180

Still relatively close.

With two drop scores...
1) Dusty: 158
2) Rolo: 150
3) Street: 146
4) Ian: 142
5) SkengD: 136

I need to up my game too, I'm not doing very well this season.

 

[Mikey24]

I may as well have gone Independent

 

[CptMadBean]

Well I'm back this Thursday boys and I'm going to win

That maybe first to miss the break zone and hit a wall.
And what Skeng doing in 5th with drop scores, guess I need to give him a kick

 

[Ian_83]

Hmm, you've not had much support have you Mikey?

 

[CptMadBean]

Hmm, you've not had much support have you Mikey?

And who not play golf on gta and beats me on the second round!
Mikey got his civic honda cup Ian, think you need to be there

 

[Mikey24]

Hmm, you've not had much support have you Mikey?

Nope, not decent support I know Stig has started a new job, and Smith just doesn't show up

 

[Mikey24]

oh wow, 4 points outside top-10

Deep Forest 🤬 it up for me tbh

 

[rolo912011]

Nope, not decent support I know Stig has started a new job, and Smith just doesn't show up

So Stig won't be racing at all any more?

 

[Mikey24]

So Stig won't be racing at all any more?

I doubt it

 

[Ian_83]

And who not play golf on gta and beats me on the second round!

I think that you let me win that second round of golf. I have honestly never played it before, you saw my first swing....it was terrible. I hit the golf tee further down the fairway and the ball barely moved.

I doubt it

That's a shame. Stig is a 'good egg'.

 

[Ian_83]

Has anyone done some practice for tonight? I was wondering what lap toimes we should be aiming for.

I've just got online and missed MadBean by a few minutes.

I have a room open but I'm not currently at my ps3.

@rolo912011 - Sorry I didn't join you on GTA last night. I got your message, but I was playing a PS1 game at the time and it doesn't allow me into the xmb to read and reply to messages without first quitting the game.

I'll be up for a little GTA tonight. 👍

 

[rolo912011]

I've done no practice yet. Intending to come on around 5ish to get some laps in. Usually at Monza it's hanging around the 2 minute mark somewhere... maybe 2:00 or 2:01s with these cars at their power level and max speed of 150mph or so.

No worries dude, another time PS1 games ftw!

 

[CptMadBean]

2:01s if anyone gets in the 00s that got to be draft.
Bit worried myself on cutting turns off here and there, I maybe in the limits not 100% sure.
Think turn 8 and 10 my worse ones :/

On the final chicane, you're cutting the kerb on entry (the first left).

To All: Stewards will be watching tonight and persistent cutting of chicane's will be penalised.

 

[Mikey24]

ANNOUNCEMENT TIME GENTS!

I am officially resigning from my current team Rothmans Honda Racing and will go independent under the name Bright Green Racing.

 

[MarchingSaint]

When do you plan to open the lobby for free practice?

 

[rolo912011]

Within the next hour or so. Maybe 5.30.

 

[CptMadBean]

Yeah I think stewards need help in tonight race, see cutting of bends report it.
I think all need to save there replys to watch out for it and report it when it happens.

Ian talking about turns 8, 9 and 10, me cutting this bend doing my head really.
But cutting can also be done on turn 5, if you mess up turn 4.
Beware of it as other cars on the right line you may take out!

Rejoin the track and cut the bend if your save to do so.

 

[MarchingSaint]

is it possible to have a map where the most penalized turns are?
Just to make sure to not ruin anyone's fun

 

[CptMadBean]

The aim is to keep two wheels on track, if all 4 wheels off then your off track.

 

[rolo912011]

'Track' is defined by the white lines on the edge of the circuit.

 

[MarchingSaint]

Is the track ready? Havin trouble entering the lobby

 

[CptMadBean]

See you join and leave

 

[CptMadBean]

For some reason I liked tonights racing, guess a few weeks missing it did some good.

I'll try and report all tomorrow.
Sorry in race 1 Ian where I hit you up the back side.
Not really my fault as I got rammed up the rear end.

Think I did some mean moves and that turn 8 cut off a few times
Think first time was in race 1 tried out braking Ian had to slow down and cut it or put Ian in the sand.

Bit of lag and guys just braking to late, I fell in some late brakes myself.
As some just don't give a bleep and will try and over take 2 cars.

Some good team work in r3 Ian but it ended up bad, I saw it in my mirrors m8.
Thought you was just going to park up really.
Want to see the replays I think Ian may lost his rag in r3.
but if he did I not blame him he had to give me room on the brakes, just the two behind him not see it that way.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Mixed bag tonight. Screwed up my Race 1 with silly braking into Parabolica then taking too much inside at Lesmo 1 and smacking into the barrier. Race 2 was much better grabbing my second win this season before getting cost a podium on the final corner in Race 3.

 

[CptMadBean]

Me not remember race 2 that much need to watch replays, I know I was there and them I was not in it
Just losted 4th to rolo and Dusty

First turn was a nightmare in a pack as you just did not know what was going on around you.
Got a feeling I out braked myself come first turn on one of them laps or just pushed off.

Good win in race 2 m8, I did have my fingers crossed your puppy would eat your feet or something lol

 

[Ian_83]

@rolo912011 and @SkengD - Thank you for a great battle in race 1. It was really enjoyable and reminded me very much of old times. 👍

Race 2 should have been a good one too. For the first few laps it was going well for me..... And then it all went downhill.

I must apologise for my outburst in the in-game chat following race 3. I was quite angry at the time, which is unlike me really. I used profanity which was uncalled for and I'm truly sorry.

I'm getting rather tired with the way in which certain people are driving. I'm having to compensate for others actions, change my line because someone decides to make a dive. I'm not naming and shaming here, I'm better than that, but I would just like people to start to understand that there is no need to force an overtake at every available opportunity. It was a 10 lap race, there are loads of opportunities to overtake without causing contact. Just wait, be patient, leave racing room and don't attempt to win the race at every corner.

Tonight's racing could have been awesome. Instead it was frustrating and in parts just plain silly. I hope that I never ever have another repeat of this.

 

[MarchingSaint]

I want to thank all of you for the race and the time spent, the race was quite enjoyable but i've got to say sorry to everyone if i happened to ram a car or two, it's my first time racing seriously in a racing series and i've got so much to learn on braking zones, times and how to overtake without causing a ruckus.
I had some serious fun

Hi guys sorry I have been away for so long without notice, I have got a job at B&M, 20hrs a week, 4hrs a night + I have picked up an extra unit till January at college so it has taken me sometime to adjust to a new schedule. I have tuesdays and thursdays off work but I have assignments to hand in on most thursdays however, I will try to move the time I spend on the assignments to tuesdays so I can get thursday evenings free, as of next week hopefully I'll be back racing with you all if it goes to plan

Again sorry for my absents
