2 13 6xx is a great time considering I can only do a 2 13 9xx .

I am more concentrating on long runs from now til the race , the rear tire wear is real bad here and there doesn't seem to be anyway to fix it .

Ill be on for most of this evening and tonight and ofcourse all day tomorrow so I'm hoping for some progress .

@ zzxxz

Did you catch that 1st WSBK race this past weekend?

There was a kid in the 600cc class that kept looking over his shoulder all race, was the guy you where talking about in the Moto Gp tread?

I did it was great. The guy I was talking about was Sam Lowes but he had tyre problems and dropped to 5th. I am liking the look of Jules Cluzel though. Can you create a wsb thread please as I can't do it atm
 
Yes mate ill be there in 15 minutes

EDIT : I suck in the rain :(

2:13's you guys are you serious? I hope that's with soft compound tires. My best time on mediums was a 2:14.9xx, so I would assume on softs I would break in to the 2:13's, but most likely I will be running 2:15's or even more likely 2:16's if it doesn"t rain?
 
RACEDAY !!!!

Joe yes 2 13's were done on medium , I haven't tested the soft tire yet .

I was doing 2 15s the beginning of this week and now I'm down into the low the 2 14's with my best being a 2 1 3 9xx.

See you all on track today and good luck
 
oh yea baby! can' t wait.. gonna do some last day testing soon! i haven't been able to practice as much i want but i think time isn't there to do the things id like to do but we' ll see

Don't think is going to go well for me tonight, chair only turned up yesterday and my back has been so bad this week I wouldn't have been able to get on for practise anyway.

Just spent the last hour trying to fix my dodgy internet...

Its like everything is conspiring against me this week...
 
Sorry anastasis, as we use a open lobby I cant start qualify before the room is full.. Im not going to go on off my qualify to kick randomers
 
Everything what could go wrong happent. Becaus of the weather in qually i started second last. When it got dry there was no time to get fresh tyres on for me. At the start i could not move up and in the distance on the straight there was smoke, i just plowed into Troylee, don't know what happent but it cost me 30 seconds or so. I gradually started to recover But the leaders were already a half track away. Then i got DC'd. when Erik and grayfox starting to do strange things. I was happy everyone disconnected. :scared:
 
Sigh , the internet gods didn't want us racing tonight , took me forever to get in the room tonight which was quite odd .

Well we all get to qualify from fresh next week so I'm sure everything will be a little different
 
An interesting 12 lap race we had tonight. I was actually catching Immortal I think, but alas it was not to be.

I need to apologise to everyone for moaning earlier today in practise when it was raining, it really wasn't that bad when I didn't let the engine dip below 6k revs.
 
Can we have a plan for next week, something like:
Do a few laps in non-dynamic weather spa and then a few in 100% weather to see if that was the problem.
 
Like we talked about on teamspeak, weather will be turned off. I love the feeling that we don't know what weather it would be, but I think that was what ended the race today.

I also noticed some fps drop on Monza long before the rain fell in the end of that race. Suzuka was no problem with rain though.

So even though I like the idea about rain and every aspect about it, ye even the moaning about it. I think it should be turned off for a more fluent race.


We knew this could happen with fixed ownership, but I noticed big fps drop when we did a pre race in the ICGTC lounge with only 7 guys on track so I think this is a risk we have to live with.
 
I don't think rain will make problems to the lobby, but it gives another layer of graphics that your console need to calculate and show. And since SPA is a track you can see very big part of the track at some places it could be the fault of the FPS drops I actually experienced today.

And it was something strange thing happening to the rain today, I know it came end went away today, but it stayed very long at 0% standing water. If that's a bug, it might be the reason why the lobby turned into a problem evening for us.

We also had several problems during practice in the ICGTC private lounge. People had loading bars and people disconnecting and couldn't join.
Could be that the last update from PD is messed up and that wouldn't surprise me at all, but it could be someone in here getting a free NAT2.. Meaning they shouldn't have a NAT2, but gets it because the console doesn't know how to act online.
As I explained before I have two Playstations online here and both is getting NAT2, even though only one should get it. The other one is very much behind a firewall with no ports forwarded. Still it show as NAT2.
I suspect that someone here have the same thing, the private room seems to act totally different when different people are on top (hosting the room) even with a none fixed ownership room as the ICGTC room is.
 
it was a good race in those 12 laps though.. i had a weird crash at the end of the straight... don't know if someone was pushing the back of my car or whatever it was.. anyway next 2 rounds were great was coming back and saw troy lee spinning on the top of the hill on the straight erik just managed to get pass him without hitting him.. & i crashed fully on to his side & got me full damage when maxitsu i think crashed in my back right after launching me from 50 km to 310 in just 2 seconds

but had a great comeback hope we have a good race next week!
