interesting splits/lap times iceman, i find it hard to believe that u could be 1.2 seconds faster on a single lap, no matter how good ur secretive setup is, this time certainly needs verifying... when i initially had a go at it without the wing, my 3rd lap was around 1'20.5xx, peaking at a 1'20.3xx, and i thought my setup wasnt that bad. so as far as i am concerned, ur lap is invalid unless u pulled off a miracle. If i am mistaken, i apoligise in advance:tup:

0.0km car?💡
just a thought, i´ve been away this week, so i really missed a lot of the discussion...

i just watched the replay.
SS tires, correct HP, 35K miles on the clock, no wing, and totally clean.
looks like the secret weapon was using the Stability controller to remove all understeer.
He was able to take turn 1 and the big double apex sweeper at speeds that would have made my un-aided roll-caged scooby slide nose first into the wall.

good clean times from the iceman. 👍

I'm going to check ice's replay out later today, I need to see it for myself, and to get a second verfication vote just in case it's needed.

The only thing I think is against the spirit of the rules is not telling. Holl is the fastest almost every week I've been here, he always posts his setups, methods, and times.

This week, I was the fastest (at least on the leaderboard, because ice didn't post), and I posted my setup (next time I'll keep in one post, it's kinda scattered), and my method for a nice T1. I just think if you are the fastest, you should explain how you did it, so others can learn from you.

 

[Casio]

^^^ Exactly.

While there is no rule that states you have to post your set-up and split times. It's just plain courtesy to do so.

Coolgeekz, I think the rest of us know that you well and truely beat us this week, fair and square.

It doesn't really worry me that he didn't post splits. Mainly because the splits were a pain in the arse to get. I didn't post any splits last week, I guess I'm against the very fabric of WRS too!

I guess so, but only when it suits it seems.

 

[Iceman]

How can you guys be such hypocrites?

Last week fasj didn't post splits and eveyone was saying how it was ok and there's nothing that says you have to. And now suddenly 1 week later it's totally changed. I like how you guys immediately label me the bad guy. I've been nothing but friendly to everyone in the WRS and GTP since the GT3 WRS. How was I supposed to know we couldn't qualify? I raced this the Wednesday after it was posted and never came back to it, so I never really looked at the splits or discussion closely after that. Was I supposed to follow a rule set in race 20 weeks ago that I probably never even saw? I'm sorry if I'm supposed to look at races a third of a year old to find rules I supposedly am supposed to follow.

 

[Small_Fryz]

, Didnt that comment come back to bite you on the Arse Casio.

Im not even gonna bother to say my .02 everyone knows it already.

Ice well done mate 👍
Hope you feel good now 👍

Congrats to the rest of the guys as well 👍

 

[Tyre King]

From a totally impartial (if that's possible) point of view I, have no problems with 'anyboby' posting no splits!

I also have no problem with anybody taking advantage of a rule 'not clarified'.

Cyril himself has stated that [Para-phrase=]"No-one has asked the question, therefore the point hasn't come up!"[/Para-phrase]
or that is my interpretation of what he said.

For someone to take advantage of a loop-hole in the rules, not declare that he is doing so, not post any splits, and to be victorious............

Is inspired!

Is legal!

And to be honest, I wish I had thought of it too!

Quit complaining, admit that he took an obvious advantage that we all could have taken, admit it's just a game, and get on with out the petty bickering that is plaguing the WRS at the minute.

Just because we didn't see the loop-hole, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used!

Wonderful, WRS is turning into a lets-see-who-can-take-the-most-advantage-of-the-rules-and-any-loop-holes-and-not-tell-anybody.

If it ever gets like that, then its a sad day. Only competitive or money sports get like that, a fun WRS should never.

Maybe im floored, But sometimes just because its not technically "illegal" to do it, doesnt mean you "morally" should. especially when its all in good fun and not even for money.

Had this been for Money, Id have nothing against Ben. Id have done the same myself. (shame also how money does this to people). But it is not, and its not suppose to be such a competitive eat your competitors, hide everything and not share. Your suppose to share and feed off each other and improve as a group, this cant be done if everybody keeps to themselves. So many racers have gotten fast quickly, how? From watching replays, reading tips, and using setups. If none of this happend, they would be much slower than they are now.

 

[Iceman]

How is qualifying a loophole?

Speak for yourself mate.

 

[Small_Fryz]

I never said it was, i was refereing to ballstothewall, use of "loophole"
but it doesnt hurt to say.... and last i checked didnt take much time or energy.

"ah btw does everybody know your able to qualify to miss the AI?, it helps a lot"

 

[Small_Fryz]

Speak for yourself mate.

I said "So Many", not All , and nowhere in my post did i refer to myself.

 

[Sphinx]

and nowhere in my post did i refer to myself.

perhaps you should've

 

[Small_Fryz]

perhaps you should've

Yeah jerry, everybody knows im nothing without my weekly replay from Dan and his setup.



Edit.

This was of course sarcastic, if you did not already pick that up.

 

[Sphinx]

Yeah jerry, everybody knows im nothing without my weekly replay from Dan and his setup.

Don't kill yourself over it mate. nearly everyone else here does that too.

 

[Small_Fryz]

Don't kill yourself over it mate. nearly everyone else here does that too.

except of course you, who's never used anybody's setup, read any tips or watched any replays. Every single improvement in yourself is 100% from your trial and error, none is from outside influences.

Like This and This and This

Another maybe?
This and This

Everybody does it.

 

[KLR142]

Christ, guys.

I have nothing against what Iceman did. He could've looked at the thread once, sat down and played for a while, then never came back and looked at the thread again. He might not have had the thought that other people might not have done what he did. Not everyone participates in the threads all week long. When's the last time you saw me post stuff? I spent 10 minutes on last week's race, didn't read the threads much, and didn't post any tips(not that I had any).

Anyway, blah.

And about those Aussies... We all know why they're fast now. I knew some people did it, but I guess there are even more. Don't matter to me! 👍

Smile, shuttup unless you have something nice to say, and HAVE SOME FUN! Damn. 💡

 

[Iceman]

They are having fun, you just can't tell from the posts

 

[Sphinx]

They are having fun, you just can't tell from the posts

I'm serious

 

[KLR142]

Lol, all right, as long as we have that clear now...

 

[Casio]

I guess so, but only when it suits it seems.

No. Last weeks race took 30 minutes to check your replay and get split times. This took 4. It's a big difference.

It's not really the posting of split times that are the problem per se. The reason why I said it was that if he had of posted his insanely quick (Compared to the rest of us) split times, we would have gone "OMFG!!!111 how did u do that?!". Then he would have gone "You can qualify infront of the AI". Or conversely, he could of said "Hey guys, I wonder if you knew that you can qualify infront of the AI", then we could of all discussed it, and been on an even playing field.

It's not so much of a loophole, but like Dion said, it's not morally right. Are you saying that you didn't see everyones slow times and think 'Maybe they don't know about this qualifying', or did you still choose to continue on with your cheap win?

He could've looked at the thread once, sat down and played for a while, then never came back and looked at the thread again.

I'm 99% sure I saw him online a least a couple of times in the week.

good clean times from the iceman. 👍

nice then, yeah it would have been nice if u could post ur settings iceman, u didnt, and u look like a stingy little secretive, i might loose to someone if i post my settings for everyone to see, type guy. and i did say u 'look' like that, i know u from alot of various msn convo's and ur cool, just in future...

great times:tup:

 

[MisterWeary]

So much anxt...so much anxt...

I think it's a really good thing that Dan posts his setup and splits and tips and track guides every week, Dan truly is the man and has certainly helped me become faster. I wouldn't be in Div 1 if it weren't for his help and I really appreciate that 👍

But, I don't expect people to do that. Finding out in the results about someone's lap is fine with me because firstly, it is just a game and secondly not everyone has the time and energy to post splits etc. So I applaud iceman's win and I have no problem with the qualifying thing, it was a very nice win man 👍

[PRE-EMPTIVE EDIT]
I would have only regretted keeping this section

But surely you expect people to show sportsman-like conduct. I understand that people may have not have had the time to write down splits and lap times, but come on, this is completely different and you know it.

Like Dion said, it doesn't take much effort to come in an say 'Hey guys, you know you can qualify infront of the AI?' or even asked if you were allowed to? The rest of us managed to follow the rules rather then exploit them.

 

[MisterWeary]

I dunno, I feel pretty indifferent about it all, but I respect your opinion, I think we'll have to agree to disagree

BTW How many pixels wide is that new avatar of yours Casio man 👍

dun worry champ, i have no qualms with what you did this week, it completely eluded me to do the same thing... i wish i had of had more time to actually put my brain in gear and figure it out, 45 minutes of driving this week was just not enough it seems...

 

[Casio]

BTW How many pixels wide is that new avatar of yours Casio man 👍

If you're using firefox or IE (I assume), you can right-click on it and go 'properties', and then you can see that's it's exactly 100 x 100. It just looks bigger because of the border I think.

 

[holl01]

to win when you have revealed every possible secret/tip setup is to win with added hounour and respect, to win secretively, like iceman, fasj8 have done these past few weeks, is to win with no respect from others, and it makes fellow racers annoyed with u. so can see that in the future, this thing won't happen again as quite a few people including myself have commented, and the general vibe has been delivered.
