Actually, that's how this series IS run. Room B used to be official and part of the points structure during season 1 but it just got messy, so now there really isn't an official room B. It's just there for those of us who don't make it into A to at least have our own race so we don't miss out on the fun of this series completely. 👍
I am sure you didnt have 50 entries in season 1.

And keep everybody not good enough from racing altogether? No thanks.

I intend on running aggressive, but clean. I wont ram you unless you ram me first.
I never said that, unofficial gathering to race is no problem. I'm against any rewards only for the first place. Encourages recklessness somewhat since I doubt Turbo is gonna be reviewing room B race record to make sure the person who won got it deservedly.
 
Okay, I get you.

If it turns into a wreck-fest I'll just avoid everything and sneak my way into the win ;D

^Make sure to avoid gravydavy, who's probably gonna be lurking at the finish to punt whoever thinks he's winning :)
 
Let's just get rid of that whole "1st place gets a spot reserved for next week" rule if people think it's seriously going to be a problem.


Personally, with people like stig in the B-room I don't expect to contend for 1st, but as a personal challenge I will be fighting like hell for a spot on the podium. I'll also be the first to admit I don't much wheel to wheel experience and when combined with the awesome powah of the sixaxis I am more likely than not to partake in some inadvertent rubbing. IMO, it's better to iron out these wheel-to-wheel kinks now before I start to time trial well enough to make the A-room.

👍

That will resolve pretty much any problems of the B room being a ramfest at the end, and also gives a spot in the A room to the 16 truly fastest people of the week.
 
I say wait until the race.

If the race is a wreckfest, remove the prize.

If it's civil, keep it.

Please don't jump the gun :(
 
Wow. Alot of children here or something? Seriously I expected a spec mistake series would be populated with more mature people...

Contact is a part of racing.
Lag is a part of playing online.
Combine the two.
Deal with it.
 
^ calling others children? Classic. People came to this series to have close and clean racing. It is understandable that they get annoyed when they get bumped and pushed.
 
Im probably wrong but, I thought the winner of the b room got 5 points and an auto entry to next weeks A race. That is something rewarding in my eyes

Yea and I'm sure complaining/bringing up contact is not part of racing either right? Have you ever watched the post race interviews?

And as someone else said some come here to get close/clean racing. Contact IS part of racing, but ALOT of it can and could be avoided. And I'm sure alot of it is just lag, and people take it as they got rammed, and start to drive like an ass.

I'm not saying noone should take chances, and I'm not saying that I dont hit people either, but, sometimes people can be a little too aggresive.

Yea we deal with it, maybe not as you would like. But, bringing it up is not something to call people children over....
 
Sure, getting annoyed is a bit understandable, but I've seen real race drivers take getting bumped off track with less drama and not only is their lives on the line but a hell of a lot of time and money too. Keep it in perspective.

Yeah your right HandofGod. Ive been bumped and smashed and lost many chances for winning races because of inexperience and experienced driver. It does suck but just have to man up and that is racing.

I can take charge of B-spec since my connection seem to be better the HandofGod.Will have a practice room up at 6pm Central or earlier just look out for the numbers. But if you want, HandofGod, you can be the leader, just putting ideas out.

Also, for those who think that B room is a joke. You shouldn't be playing this game any way. It is actually an awesome idea and should thank Turbo for letting us have this opportunity that there is a room for us slower drivers and a chance for us to join A room. The B room is great practice with racing with door to door racing and will train us for when ever we make it to A room. So stop you wining, man up and RACE because if you don't I will have to put into the wall and bring yeah to the back..JUST KIDDING.
 
I'll be putting up a room in 30 minutes for the B-race unless there's someone who thinks they have a better connection, and wants to do it.
 
What's with all the complaining over B room? I raced there last week and it was good and mostly clean. There was a legitimate lag problem in the first lap (it didn't affect me, but I saw first hand the pile up it caused).

If fancypants there starts driving backwards in B room this week can we please ban him from entering it in the future? I don't get a ton of free time for online racing (in fact the quali was my first practice this week and it shows in my standings) and if somebody ruins it because they just feel like being a dick I'll be pissed.
 
On the comment about 50 people registering last season - There was more than that if my fuzzy, just awoken memory serves me well.

B room - Get your acts together. It's disappointing to see people worried about being punted off track. If Standard OLR is in place and if someone is punted off track, that offending driver is obligated to give up his newly gained position to the driver and resume the race.
 
I'm interested.

I'm gonna go ahead and just quote myself for this. :dopey:

You're a day late to get into today's race, but I'm sure you could get registered and set up to go by next week. Read the first post, and PM R1600Turbo if something doesn't make sense. 👍



On an unrelated note,

900 posts!
 
To end all this complaining about B Room here is a wonderful poem by me

Bitch Bitch Bitch
Wine Wine Wine
Shut the Hell up

Its racing time.

Yes? What about it? ;)

It's official, I suck at any kind of psychological pressure. After I rage quit last night, I swore I wasn't gonna race tonight and I was going to resign from the series. Obviously I'm not capable of that because, well, you all know I'm an addict.

The A race is always competitive, but the b race is as well. As I said a couple days back, I'll be keeping the b race replay and checking it over. If you have a problem with another driver, remember the lap number and approximate location and I will check the replay and give my opinion. Alot of the racers in the b room are not as experienced as those in room A so lap 1 is bound to be a bit rougher. However, this does not mean that "anything goes" in the first few laps.

As for all the arguing...
the-ponies-do-not-approve.jpg



Finally, to combat my apparent mental illness and competitive ineptitude, I am changing my registration (last time I promise:dunce:)

stigbane - matte black/tbd

PS - A reminder that one pit stop is REQUIRED for both the A and B races.

edit: I'll still be running the 40 mil miata during the week btw

Think you sized up the wrong part mate....very impressive though 👍

Saving money FTW
 
FYI gravy we had more signups last season than we do so far this season. But hardly any of them showed up for races.

Also, can we keep it civil in here? I'd hate to have to shut the whole thing down because nobody can get along with each other. And if anyone starts driving backwards or just plain wrecking people on purpose, you WILL be banned from the series. That includes practice races as well.
