GTPlanet ITCC Driver's Meetings (pre- and post-race)

[TDZdave]

send out the jet dryers behind the grid on the warm up lap before the race start lmao, just make sure montoya is in infront of it lmao,

 

[anirishnirvana]

That wasn't the only time TNT missed his braking point on that turn either. I counted 3 other times that he over shot the hairpin.

Wait. So in the initial quote your bump draft caused him to crash into me, now it's him missing a brake point. Which one is it?

By the way, I hope those southern-hemispherians don't moan when I throw my French brandy bottles all over the track

lmao, this is gonna look like ken blocks gymkahna video where he drifts over the fluro lights, only various bottles of vodka, rum, brandy, bourbon, french wine and coke (Mrm/ cnd01) now we just need to run a wicked song thru it, like Rammsteins du hast or pendulum lmao

I did bump draft him, but I lifted at the 100m sign. He didn't brake until he got to the 50m sign. If that isn't far enough then I am sorry. I was braking after the 50m sign under normal circumstances. I do realize that me bump drafting him gives him extra speed.

Therefore, it wasn't entirely your fault. Just that the wording in the initial post made it seem like it was. Still bump draft in Madrid? Think it just helps show Madrid wasn't the best choice for the first race of the season.

So is life I get a crapton of ballast also for Deep Forest.

I didn't think I'd have to make a ruling about this, but bump drafting should be avoided.

 

[Johnnypenso]

"Bump drafting should be avoided" sounds more like a suggestion than a ruling.

 

[anirishnirvana]

So... how much vodka shall it take to successfully bribe you TDZ? A "slight" miscalculation on my part.

PS, I blame lack of success ballast. Nothing to do with my "Oh my god what an amazing corner to mince MrM down the straight! Now to be as giddy as a schoolgirl teeheehee! Oh wait..."

 

[cnd01]

I haven't looked at any replays yet, so PM me any issues for Deep Forest. Not tonight though, I am in a bad mood.

i didnt even see you near me coming onto the front stretch then POW right in the kisser lmao, nah its cool, you corrected it on the spot, same with norm,

but Mrm, race 1, lap 4, turn 10-14, WTF???? you blocked the outside and to avoid slamming you i went into the cliff face then coming onto the front stretch you were doing like 140kph, basically a brake check in which i slammed into you at 190kph and took mechanical damage forcing me to pit immediately, then race 2, turn 10, you virtually slammed me into the cliff face going to turn 11 once again no apology, WTF dude? hence some reasons i was so irate at 6am apologies for my comments and language once again

I did apologize, actually. I told you, there were marbles on the tires. I had no turning. You gave me a little rub (I think) into the cliff wall, and that caused my tires to pick up marbles, then I continued to drop even more tires off because of the marbles. Then, in the last corner, you followed close behind, and I had to go slowly because the tires still had no grip.

The main thing is that I did apologize, after the race.

sorry i didnt see it, atleast you apologized now

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

No worries. It's still my fault. I needed to apologize.

 

[TDZdave]

honestly thats where a 3rd of my frustration lay, the other 3rd was jp leaving, and the other 3rd was race 2 grrrr,

by the way damu, in race 1, I have watched the replay several times, lap 1 i dont know if that was a lag shunt, brake shunt or just lag, i really didnt think i hit you on the concrete, and theres no contact between us on my replay, but you still went flying in to the wall, im sorry if i did hit you, but its not showing up on my replay, is it on anyone elses?

 

[NizmoDr3]

Sounds like I missed out on some controversy ...

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Yeah, apparently. If there was still lag, I don't know who's causing it, or how we can fix it. I think we need to consider how to help people connect with each other.


Can everyone please post their NAT types up?

 

[NizmoDr3]

Well from my side of racing there are one or two people who lag. The majority of you drive smooth from my angle ...

I don't want you to feel like you have to leave because of your connection. I'll do everything that I can to ensure that you can continue to connect. With Polar's new router and Storm's connection issues, Saturday's races were all a wash for connection issues. The Rolex was continually delayed due to connection issues. Same with the ITCC, but it was much here, with people from so many continents and so many drivers on track at once.

 

[NizmoDr3]

Well I was pretty irritated to hear that Race 2 was restarted 3/4 times due to BS, when Race 1 was just continued. I understand that I told you guys to race, but the organizational skills are lacking Mel ...

We need to sort out the behind the scenes before we can consider the on track antics ...

People must remember that the GT severs are put under continuous strain everyday by millions of people from all types of nations. There's never going to be a perfect connection issue/lag free event ...

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I know. This week is the eighth round. People, nothing's really changed. This week, have your loo breaks a bit before the ITCC Rounds, and come prepared.



Also, last week's lag was a lot, though, Nizmo. We couldn't make it around the formation lap without explosions and death. My parents are done "adding more stuff [value] to the house, so I won't be disconnected this weekend. I'll be clearing my cache a lot this week, though it doesn't fill up too quickly.

 

[TDZdave]

this dive bomb rule, i pulled of 5-7 "dive bomb" passes in the forest, will i be penalised for it?

 

[anirishnirvana]

As far as the connection goes, Storm couldn't connect until MrM disconnected, I believe. He also couldn't connect to either Rolex lobby. I'm not sure why the internet seemed to struggle this week compared to last weekend. Nizmo lagged and TDZ did for me as well. I remember the quick race where Nizmo seemed to suddenly get rocket boost . Yet last weekend was relatively fine internet-wise, well for me.

was i still having the issue in race 3?

i believe you in saying that, all week and including the race i had issues with the timing sectors, telling me im 56 seconds down at sector 2 or 99.59.99.99 up at the first sector, even still during the race after the room reset, but only at deep forest, i did shuffle racing at motegi, nascar at daytona etc and no issues, perhaps the russian alps messed with my connection lol

I'll have to check the replays. For incidents as well. For my over delayed Madrid report as well

bahahaha, its cool, i wasnt sure if the incedent between us was caused by me, im sorry if it was, my replay shows im clear, but you launched like a predator missile, so there is an issue there but what? i am sorry tho,

 

[freshseth83]

ANNND the points standings are? Ballast is? We need information like this to be up to date. Dedicate someone to handle these and it'd be smoother.
