Hmm…you mean the gap in the engine noise at 3:53? I think that's just the shift between 1st and 2nd? I'm not sure if you tuned a gap between them, since the only person who does that is Roj…but yea, part lag, and part sloppy driving basically put a near perfect car out of contention, it seems.

So…for the record, what the hell happened guys? Why did neither of you think of re-running the screwed up runs for the sake of fairness?

+1 to that. Just finish watching that run, tears literally streaming down. That hommell was indeed all over the place.
 
Personally, I think the testers shouldn't be able to enter the classes that they are judging and the touge battles should be run by the tuners, kinda like LotS.

Uhh…ok, so you're saying that Harvey, who runs a second or so slower than average, should go against someone like either me, someone who's just a tad quicker in my car than average, or Rob or Slender, who know this track like the back of their hands? We'd just get the same issue of having too many variables. Ideally, the two drivers for the final battle should be both fast and of equal skill…

…which means Rob needs to be the tester for the battles! He's the only one who can keep pace with Slender…I think. :lol:

Well we need a system that works better than the current one. 2 months waiting for results from T200 is unacceptable to be frank (no disrespect to you Tak or Mat) and the poor driving in the finals needs to be sorted before T300 starts.
 
No hard feelings guys and I hope we can still run online together some times but as for this....👎👎

None taken. 👍 'Sides, it's also my unorganization that's got T200 into this. School management, and leisure management just don't add up.

Errm, just so you know, I wasn't in either of the clips. lol

Anyways, yeah, I do agree that the shootout needs more organization. Good news is, my school year ends in a week, and I'll finally be back in business! 👍

To be honest, it also isn't acceptable to me.

Basically, we need a quality control person to keep track of the progress and for all testers to have sufficient time to do a good few practice sessions in all the finalists before filming.

Edit: Mat, does that mean we get a second shot at the finals?

It'll need to be someone who isn't afraid to speak their mind and can rule with an iron fist. :lol:
 
@Onboy ABS had little to nothing to do with Slenders effort in my car. Watch the video again.
Start of first run and you can both see and hear the missed shift and effectively huge gap created. Then in a car he gave a 99 score for and said only slight issue was a bit of oversteer on corner exit he was literally all over the track, corner entry, mid corner, corner exit even on the straights.
I've ran in rooms with him and even in cars he's just starting to tune his control isn't that sloppy.:yuck:

Glad the testers enjoyed my car as much as they say they did in solo runs, but between the endless wait for the results and then seeing what finally occured, no thanks, I'm finished here.

I'm sorry i really am not that good with running no ABS, I didn't even know i missed shifted too.... :indiff:

The reason for this is i was getting fed up of waiting for Tak to actually online to run the battles... that final battles took about 2 weeks to film....
 
Well, the higher up (Mat) have spoken, he wasn't satisfied with this result either, so a re-run is rather probable anyway.

I don't get it, why won't you start the tuning time for T300 now, re-run the T200 finals that were messed up while we tune, and then release it as the alternate ending to T200 along with T300? It's far more efficient to keep things moving while you wait than to stop everything, wait for one tester to move their backside and hold everyone up.

I was actually just about to say that...

Though the re-run isn't too assured yet.

It'll give me enough time to build another 8 T300-ready and 3 TMax-ready cars. :lol: And another Brap-box.

Well i refuse to run the battles due to all the messing around and waiting i had to do just trying to get them done.... No offence guys
I'm not saying i don't want them re-run, I'm saying i'm not going to one of the driver's in it
 
Rerun ... I like the sound of that, I want to see some real touge action :) And I want to see the cars driven like in real life, not taking 2 or more wheels off the tarmac just to get the most of the road, that would lead to spin out or crash in reality. Just looked weird to me when watching those 2 videos ...

Well, what do you intend to do about the results? You can void them but Slender would jump off his balcony if that were the case, another month of waiting is just too much for him. :lol: I'm sure the finalists won't be happy about voiding results as well.

A re-run with you and Tak should be a better choice since the timezones would probably match up better, and since you're off school (you lucky man) your schedule is probably more flexible.

Of course, your call in the end. I'm just making noise here.

Focus your attention on one car dammit. :lol:

None taken, I understand that you were put in a place where you couldn't do much other than wait and I'm sure most will as well…just pick the car with ABS next time. :lol:

That one was out of my hand's too....(Blame you know who) as he gave me the choice of, I run the ABSless car or wait for him to get hold of the car himself as he didn't have it at the time....:ouch:
 
I can do no ABS, any car, any tire, but not sure if I'm fast enough at Akina as I don't use the whole gravel part, I usually stick with the tarmac portion :lol:

Yeah, I get what you mean...

The other option is to write T200 S2 as a bit of a flop and move onto T300..

Or this... Depending on the situation.

Anyways, I'll save the thinking for later. I gotta prepare for my exams, and try to convince the teachers to sign my damn requirement slip.

I'm sure there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff we don't know about as well…but why not just swap cars? Would that not solve the situation? He has the Berlinette and you're out of the ABS-less car.

That's an option no one wants, and T300 is starting already. :P

You don't even need to use the gravel. At least, I don't run on the dirt.

it was mostly me bugging him so we could run the races :lol:
Personally after all this mess i'm 100% done with T200... It's been a long and painful road i think :indiff:

*read in deep, Jeremy Clarkson voice* T200 has been a long and difficult battle for all of us, we have suffered many casualties and the bonds between few have been strained, but we shall march on regardless![/war-like motivational speech]
