Thats 3/3 for Timppaq

 

[doblocruiser]

when you are in the middle of the pack it is so far beyond close, it puts you really on the edge. Had a great time!

Congrats @ Timpaq

btw anybody else taping this. Just had 2 888 tunes shooting eachother of in the 130R

 

[osrg]

That was a massive tussle from P5 down wasn't it???

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

I'd like to say sorry fo hitting you Timppaq, ut I had 2 wheels on the grass, so perhaps a little racing room that time please. Also, someone rammed me and made me hit GSTAR. Who was that?

One more race. 888 has already won majority, but at least TLD is always on the podium.

I gave you room into turn 3 lap 1..... but you jittered across the track and i ended up eating sand Your car looks very very jumpy....... maybe some network lag nd4hspd?

 

[uk86ze]

wow. Only 4 seconds between all 8 drivers. Nice race Holden

 

[doblocruiser]

that was epic!!!!

one more at x:00 ?

thanx again at TLD for the great tune!
Congrats to 888Tuning 👍

 

[HulaG]

Damn those last 2 races went terrible =S but was very much fun to race =) thx for races, waiting for more

 

[osrg]

4/4 from Timppaq....... well done..... damn Focus and Elise wreaked havoc.

Private Rooms cannot come quick enough....

All in All, that was such good fun, cannot wait for the next showdown:tup:

 

[Timppaq]

Sorry about getting the pole every time. I guess it´s not my fault... Damn you PD!!!
And thanks to all!!! It sure was fun... Should we go back??

And thanks to 888 tuning, hope you are proud now...

-Timppaq

edit2: Holden, it was halfly (is that a word?) my fault.. I should have given you room, but that´s racing, I guess. Next time I will give you more room. So no worries at all!!!

Yeah it helps when you start at the front each time In race 3 you only beat me by 0.021sec.



Well as some of you may know this first event was more of a test run to see if such a thing can be run, and see what can be done better next time. After that I'm not sure there will be a next time until private rooms come. I got put in the sand by that 🤬 🤬 Focus driver 2 🤬 times. And I believe others had problems with non-showdown racers too. I see no point in continuing this event. Any feedback on this decision is greatly appreciated.

 

[osrg]

I don't really care either way..... i'm just happy to get out and race man!!!!

 

[doblocruiser]

5'm really looking forward to the next showdowns. This is the next best thing after private rooms. We all got together and there was some very close racing. Although sometimes we got bumped by none showdown drivers makes it kind a step up of a challenge. I think when you drive a focus/Integra/Mini in a Swift showdown they start shivering and get nervous by all the Swifts that are swerming arround them

I'll try to have the vid by this evening 👍

 

[HulaG]

yea there were some unclrean outsiders, got few times out coz of em too but still i think that it was really fun

 

[uk86ze]

i got jumped by 3 red swifts in that last race.
race 3 seemed the best as there was no outsiders in it.
Great work guys and thank you Holden & 888

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

As soon as you can get those video/s up doblocruiser that woul be great. You and Timppaq had great races so seeing them in video would be sweet. Figuring out the positions would be good too. How do you wanna do that? I'm happy to say that so far (don't forget there's a race 2 still coming. I don't know what NTSC is doing) 888 has won 4/4.

 

[doblocruiser]

I can't join race 2 unfortenately because I'm have an educational day tomorrow

I'll put in the screens from the starts and result probably

I think we should continue these showdowns!! The private rooms will come and that will be GREAT, but we shouldn´t let those punters make us wait for (maybe, hopefully not) such a long time.

I have the last race on tape, but I have to figure out how I can get it to PC and to you.. that might take a while.

The other thing killing this event was the rubber banding. How could TLD drivers use our cornering advantage to catch up if that advantage was taken away by rubber banding?

And how can I maintain my lead, when the rubber is pulling you guys on straights and you are faster on the bends....... But it should go away!!!!!! PD, DO YOU LISTEN!!!?

ARE YOU GUYS Still racing there??? Tell me, because I wanna join! The thing is that I have to change my cable to PS3 so while I´m there I won´t see what goes on here...

So if you are, let me know time for next start.. Thanks!

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Apart from the outsiders that was GREAT thanks guys

@doblocruiser. How did you like your C4 sandwich in that race we had

EDIT:

Whens the next one ?

I never thought it had an effect on the straights. Slipstreaming does. I never had enough laps to come from 9th and beat you in a pro-longed battle.

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

Wow, great races! Thanx everyone 👍
I think we should do that more often! congrats to Timppaq !
hmm i want to be in the second race, any places left?

 

[Timppaq]

Actually you might be right, now that I think of it....

But now I have to go... Let´s do this again, I hope!!!!

BYE!!

[nd 4 holden spd]

Well maybe. It's possible we'll do this again.

Edit: In the mean time, check out the TLD opening post, got a slight pimpin' .

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

Holden put me in the 2nd race aswell, please.
that was so much fun! 👍

Yes sir. You realise the time it is for?

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

yeah i'm a bit confused now LOL.
Its tomorrow 1h earlier than it was today i think ... ?

 

[ofspunk7]

wow, sorry to say I am watching this all VIA posts from my cube at work.... Man I am racing for like 12 hours straight tonight

Crewmembers - check (2 Dogs)

Man I have the same crew members. If anyone knows how to keep the crew memebers from jumping on you in the middle of a online race that would be great. It is hard to race with a boston licking your face and one biting your shoe.

I hope everyone had a good race. Lets do this again so I don't have to work when it is going on. I can run the US version of the race. Maybe a sunday or late saturday night when I am free.

 

[J-PaP]

im doing a bit of practice ahead of race 2 tomorrow. anyone else interested in joining? post here and we'll organise to sync our joining time.
