@all in the gt300 room.
Well done. Falcon, Byggy, doc all having connection problems. Try everything to make sure they are ok. Josh disconnects during the formation and carry on. Very sporting, that's the top 4 sorted then.
Last week the driver suffering from lag is this week's host. I am baffled.

I got dc'd in the end. Sorry to falcon for damage on first lap, but snide sarcastic comments are hardly needed. Not very sporting mate.

Neither was running me off the track and blocking the corner. But I won't say any more in the forum, I'll report the incident like I should.

 

[toyotsupra]

Not a great way to to end the season by me i look forward to getting a better car next season and hopefully fighting for podiums .Thankyou to all the Admins For watching qualifying laps and putting this series together i look forward to seeing you next season.

 

[OK8]

If there was any round I was going to win, it was this one. This is truely my "home-event" as before joining this series I pretty much only raced the Nordschleife. Testing session with Widow was also crucial and when I first joined Litchi's room I thought I had left mediums on because the car felt so good, setup was really perfect. Used the actual race mediums when it was pitch black so don't know if I got a fast lap but didn't make a single mistake all race.

A satisfying end to the season then. Must say I've really enjoyed racing in this series and will give out a big 👍 to all the stewards and admins who've made the system work. Looking forward to next season.

 

[ByGGy]

I guess I have to hate this game now..was leading from lap 2 to lap 8..till the game decided to give me a drive through instead of the 2nd pit stop...and 3rd pit stop...

Too late the damage had been done and that was hardly snide that was pure frustration of everything that has happened over the last 2 rounds.👎 Also I didn't run you off you were not passed me.

You have no idea what I have been through this season so do not even start. You should not of been even allowed to start.👎

Also starting the race knowing full well we had damage was totally unsporting, even if I make the top 4 at the end of this I am not happy because this was a race that I had pure pace only for a reserve driver to run into me not once but twice is unforgivable considering the circumstances.

I hope you can look in the mirror and say to yourself what I did was morally right. You know who you are.

Everyone of you here has tried to make my championship hell in order to make an example of me for my probation, near suspension of the championship, penalties for things that others got away with, not listening to my problems and trying everything to throw me out. My dirty lap was the last straw and I only started because I had a chance of winning. Crashed into twice on the rolling up lap I told everyone I had damage, The race hadn't started so we should of been given a chance to try again, that didn't happen when it should of done regardless of the troubles we had starting it in the first place and I lost 1 minute because of it which I was never going to get back.

This was an absolute shambles and a farce, GV after your lag issues last time you were hardly qualified to host, Cicua should of done so as apart from Josh-F's disconnection was trouble free.👍

You have almost succeeded in making me quit the championship because of the inconsistencies but you have failed!

 

[GV27]

Twist, Josh could not connect properly to Cicua's room. Since this week there is nobody at my place (usually there's my parents and my brother at home, which is the reason sometimes there is lag. Today I even shut my computer, so only PS3 on), we decided to give it a try. Nobody said anything about connection problems until suddenly Josh disconnected. When two people called having problems, I waited to see what would be decided... but since nobody called off the race, I had to continue.

If I was the host today, that's because we wanted to try helping Josh, who had been getting disconnected from Cicua's room all afternoon, and apparently had no compatibility with Cicua. It was not many people today, and I've explained my situation. I firmly believe we did the right thing in having me as the host. If Josh could not connect properly to Cicua, we had to try the only other option. I did think Twist would be good to host; but we didn't know when he'd come, actually.

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

More like a calculated plan to make sure I didn't get in the top 4

 

[GV27]

I am at a loss for words at reading what I'm reading right now.

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

So am I because quite frankly I have lost faith in this championship, well done everyone for ganging up on me to see me quit or be thrown out.

 

[cicua]

ByGGy I did not understand anything! You were holding out very well up front!

Twist I opened the room but Josh kept the dc'ing from my room so I passed it over to Alex. Which did not make it better on Josh's part unfortunately.

The start was really messy, with Josh dc'ing, and Falc talking about engine damage (did not understand it was himself), and while I was driving formation slow expecting Alex to say something we were suddenly at the start line while I had fallen back, keeping Falcon and doc-shipman behind too. What a mess. But the race goes on.

I had a mostly ok race, was only driven off once, and only got self-inflicting damage once

Well twice actually. But the other one was when I totalled the car on the pit entry wall

Here are the immediate PAL-GT300 results:

Points to be updated soon!

 

[twistedfirework]

I am not blaming you alex, I just can't believe that the race carried on despite still being on formation. Especially now reading that the start was bodged with damage etc. I didn't race tonight because I felt I didn't have enough pace or consistency on this track. I wanted to ensure that the guys battling were given a fair crack of the whip without me being in the way. It's just a shame that it has ended this way. I understand that you stepped in to host, I just found that strange considering your lag problems last week.
@doc please don't take offence but you shouldn't of raced tonight for the same reasons that I didn't.
Finally,congrats to Hellboy on a great win, and congrats to alex on the championship.

 

[GV27]

It appears Simon and I were waiting for each other to say something... It truly is bad luck.

Also, believe me that if I hadn't been on my own at home, I would have definitely never stepped in to host, regardless of anything, because it would have been 100% pointless. Also, Mr.CaptainFalcon89 here had exactly the same kind of problems as last week in Monaco (and I told him to leave the room and join again, expecting them to be fixed, just as he said it would happen in Monaco). Perhaps he should get HIS connection checked up, instead of accusing the organisation of scheming against his self.

As for the race, it was okay during the first half, but rubbish during the second half, with stupid mistakes from me. Once I was far enough, mistakes would happen more easily because I wasn't as focused. A shame, as I believe 4th was possible today. Maybe not podium, but 4th, which was my goal. Congratulations to Hellboy, he did one hell () of a race.

 

[cicua]

Cut the paranoia Falcon. You could just have done a proper quali then you would not have started at the back with me and doc. Just sayin.

And as has been figured out during the week, the fact that you and ByGGy could not see each other in the Monaco race had absolutely nothing to do with the accident that took you out. It was an ordinary incident for which a penalty has been given out, business by the book. Ordinary in the sense it had nothing to do with lag or network, it was just a driver error.

And btw if you want to run the paranoia train why don't you speculate if Josh was dc'ed and race not restarted, so you could get in top 4? Just sayin'.

Josh had been dc'ing from my rooms all afternoon, and I asked him if that only happened in my room because I really wanted him in. He said yes so I suggested Alex took over the room in hope of improvement.

The race could have been restarted. But that is up to the host, and he did not, so that is how it is. I understand actually, since the DC problem was apparently still there after changing host, and we were already 25 mins late because of connection hell. The damage thing should have caused restart imo, but then at first I thought Falcon meant Josh had engine damage, not that I understood anything, and suddenly the start line was there.

Chill out man, it makes no odds if I'm a reserve, I qualified for this tournament. Your attitude is a problem mate. I apologized after the race. That was my first incident worthy of being penalized and I have reported myself.

Get off your high horse for the sake of others. It's a damn game.

Each race in individual, I don't know what happened last race and, to be frank, I care not. If you think everyone is out to get you perhaps you should consider the likely hood of suffering from paranoia...

 

[Jash]

I guess I have to hate this game now..was leading from lap 2 to lap 8..till the game decided to give me a drive through instead of the 2nd pit stop...and 3rd pit stop...

no i was leading lap 4, 5, middle of lap 6 andddd plaf !!

 

[GV27]

To be honest, I wasn't sure I had the right to call off the race, and since nobody had said anything about lag before what actually happened, I didn't know lag was the cause. Besides, and I'm sorry if it sounds bad, CaptainFalcon89 tends to be very vocal when something happens with another driver, so I thought there had been a misshap with someone else and he was venting. Only after the start, it occurred me that there may have been a connection issue.

Also, at that point I was receiving an unexpected (and important) phone call, and I had one hand on the phone and the other hand on the steering wheel...

I'm honestly sorry about the important part of blame I may have to bear. Just please understand there was no malice. All the opposite.

I don't take offence by it mate. Other than the formation lap error (which I've reported) I wasn't a problem to anyone, when I totalled myself I allowed everyone past.

 

[ByGGy]

ByGGy I did not understand anything! You were holding out very well up front!

I do not understand either..Pit stops were just not workin for me after the first one: I didn't receive fresh tires nor fuel at the end of lap 8, the car didn't even stop, just a drive through really. So I had to do one more lap without tires, just so the problem could occur one more time at the end of lap 9. I decided to smash the car in a wall after this.

Something might have gone wrong on the server for me cause the game crashed at the end of the race...sad I couldn't save the replay too..

Btw, good job Hellboy. French flag has been raised at the Ring!

no i was leading lap 4, 5, middle of lap 6 andddd plaf !!

True! you were slightly () ahead after the first pit stop

Don't you even dare suggest that, you have no idea what is happening with me because of this, you wouldn't allow it in Monaco so don't even try to cover your tracks there because there are non to be covered. You caused my problems tonight aswell by changing the time too quickly before I had even loaded up first time only then was I allowed to go in and out which worked. Had you allowed me at Monaco to do the same there would of been no problems and tonight proved it. You have no idea on what is happening in my life, my internet or anything else for that matter so, DO NOT MAKE IT YOUR F:censored:ING BUSINESS TO KNOW!!!

Well maybe I am mad but the trouble is perceptions and I cannot read people's intentions all the time and very rarely I get them right if at all. I am vocal when I feel I've been wronged as I feel that justice needs to be done and I feel bad for others when they don't have their justice. You trying to judge me for something which I am not makes the whole situation a hell of a lot worse.

Different racing leagues have differenet philosophies. This one have many rules, its fairly complicated, but I guess the idea is to make it fair. Personally I don't agree to all, one in particular, but I'm taking the good for the bad and enjoy the racing.

Falc. There is no conspiracy against you. I watched your qual lap, and you had all four wheels off the track, with three all the way in the sand. Rules are pretty much clear cut in this case. On the formation, you and Doc was trying to warm up the tires by acceleration/breaking/accelerating. I believe this is also against the rules, and increases the risk for damage in the formation, which indeed happened this time between the two of you.

Heart breaking. I though you were going to win, didn't understand you pit strategy, but now I do. Moral winner.

If life is that bad don't race. Either way just calm the f:censored: down. I've had problems in my life too, but it isn't the problem of the nice people here.

And don't have a stab at every single person in this series. The admins are doing a great job of dealing with this series whilst getting on with THEIR lives too. Chill.

 

[Sail IC]

Crap race for me. So manu spins all by myseldf.

But I did had the tire heat bug. Tires would never heat up, and the car was very slippery and hard to drive.

 

[CaptainFalcon89]

Did that cause the damage, no it didn't!

 

[GV27]

What I've been through during the last few years is more than you've ever been through, Mr.CaptainFalcon89. So shut the hell up. Also, I was NOT the host in Monaco, while I was here. And I did think it would be unfair to start if your connection wasn't fine.

And you're accusing me of switching time too fast? Talk about ridiculous accusations, man!! If it puts you at ease, I didn't switch it until the menu said everyone was loaded

By the way, I only spoke of your internet, not of your life. So I don't get where all that comes from.

You've mentioned more than once this problem of yours. Bad luck, because it so happens I've studied it, and the so called symptoms do not happen with you, buddy.

I was just trying to catch the pack. Falc hit the brakes a fair few times, hence why I ended up hitting him. Entirely my fault, hence reporting it

 

[NJ72]

Shut up. Please. The world didn't end, it's still only a game...

edit: and don't bother using the "it is to you as you were never going to win it" line as that would be predictable, pointless and childish

I am not having a stab, I am having had the need to fight my corner which always happens after every round here which it has never happened before in the last 2 seasons I have done here, this has been my worst one because I could never go into a round thinking I can race.

GV, Sorry I had no idea.

If you realised the world isn't out to get you there would be no need to "fight your corner".

And the last line of your post sums it all up. You have no idea what's going on in other peoples lives, so why go at everyone like a bull in a china shop? As far as your glass being half empty, I think it seems more like you feel someone stole the other half...

Provisional points are up (for PAL-300 at least): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...UXNKR2pfU0tobnc&single=true&gid=8&output=html

They produce a top 4 of:
GV27 - Champion of PAL-GT300

GTP_Josh-F

Yeah, Josh keeps his 4th. But only because Falcon decided to bow out and get no race points, else he would have got the spot. Not my fault so I don't want to hear anything about it.
