@watermelonpunch, what's the problem? Can't you see this thread: link?

 

[amarynceos]

Keep forgetting to mention this... @watermelonpunch , please put me down for all coming events.

 

[watermelon punch]

I'd like to race tomorrow. However I understand there's an on-going points championship, so I'll give priority to those who have already collected points if the room fills up 👍

Also, I'm sorry about no-showing last week. I unexpectedly had a very busy day and wasn't able to make it. Normally I would have posted on here beforehand to let you guys know, but as I said it was unexpected.

It's cool, it happens.
We had reserves too.

And you're good for tom. (Sat.) 👍

@watermelonpunch, what's the problem? Can't you see this thread: link?

Never mind...

but still, the stuff is there anyhow... I'd been working on that for some while anyway... because I've been concerned that people don't follow hte link.

 

[Phouchg]

I don't think I can make it tomorrow.. VLN Lobby opens 9 pm GMT and we usually don't end very much ahead of that. And then I would get no practise ahead of that race either, so should probably skip tomorrow.

 

[watermelon punch]

Well, don't overdo it, that's for sure.
I'd be car sick by halfway through that VLN race if it were me!

 

[John Wells]

Good racing last night, but the luxury cars I need more practice
Had a few problems, then there was the bugs and PSN faults

 

[nickg07]

Aye I lost engine sound one race which was annoying. But an enjoyable session for the most part.

 

[Chiochan]

I had a dream last night that I was racing Fiat lounge on Matterhorn. I have an unhealthy obsession with those tracks.

Yeah I may be overdoing it myself lately because I had a dream about racing Mini Coopers in a bizarre configuration of a city track with large hills that had cobblestone like Rome.

Just an FYI - I'm not counting the races for points after the room pooped.

Could I make a recommendation, perhaps a short password lile 'gtp' would cut down on randomers showing up mid event and time wasted. if you haven't already read this thread it's guaranteed they won't have the right cars.

 

[watermelon punch]

There are passwords now????

Append:

Oh, wait - you mean like someone has to say: "the dog barks at midnight" or something?



I've been so hoping for passworded rooms that I got confused and hopeful. *sigh*

The "passcode" is : "can't fly without umbrella"


(just kidding about the password)

 

[LongbowX]

I think the password should be "flatulent jaguar".

Was having some cracking races until my power went out. Thankfully it eventually came back. Good races peeps.

12. John Wells (johnwells69) Mini Cooper 1.3i '98

John Wells DQ, wrong car
L1 T1
John Wells bumped HusamOne who was hit from the other side by daddyo845 coming up the inside. John Wells should have conceded.
As daddyo845 didn't gain a position, and John Wells is DQ'd from the race for driving the wrong car, there will be no penalties.
L2 T1 incident
daddyo845 completely missed the brake point and flew through corner in front of a bunch of cars. Concession was made to the entire grid, so no penalty is assessed.

Race #4 @ London Reverse

L4 last turn
The incident with watermelonpunch, Phouchg, & daddyo845
It was a big accident & I was the initial cause but in no way had an idea of that in the race.
I think none of the parties involved knew who was at fault, or what really happened, so confusion ensued. I moved to avoid daddyo845 who appeared to me to be moving slow through the turn, Phouchg was close behind, and so hit me into daddyo845 who had moved by that point... So we all thought the accident was caused by others.
Which led to daddyo845 kind of pushing up through to take his (albeit) rightful place - but that shouldn't have to happen like that.

If you are hit, and owed a contact concession that was not given, please trust that if you report it, the proper respect will be paid, and the results will be adjusted accordingly, once someone has reviewed to see what actually happened. In many cases where contact concession is not given by regular, usually clean, drivers, it's usually the case that the drivers involved didn't really have a good idea about what occurred. This is especially true if there are more than 2 cars involved in a collision, and sometimes it's impossible to know that there were more than 2 cars involved from one person's perspective in the race.

Race #5 @ Eiger NordWand Short Track

L1 T1 Incident
A series of unfortunate collisions occur after one car spins. Concession was legal, no penalties.

Race #6 @ Eiger NordWand Short Track Reverse

1st turn after the tunnel stewards report
No fault Race incident
Actually, I think there's something rather odd about that first turn.
More than half the drivers were involved in the melee... but there was no single cause, just a series of unfortunate accidents.
We did the Friday reset race at Eiger Reverse... and the same thing happened.

Also, some confusion about the incident could've been caused by the fact that afterward, some cars were moving quite slow - and may have appeared to be giving contact concessions, when in fact, they were on full throttle, just with spectacularly crippling engine damage.

There was a lag spike in the replay, at the time of a contact incident between LongbowX & watermelonpunch heading toward tunnel, while following another car and the contact appeared anyway to be no fault. (I don't remember the contact in the race.)

The Boxes made it all worth it, right?

Race #7 @ Madrid

Race #8 @ Madrid Reverse

There were multiple incidents in both Madrid races, and apparently annoying ones at Madrid Reverse.
They have been reviewed by a couple of people, and other than some less than ideal re-entries to the track, particularly around the chicane, and some sloppy driving here & there with concessions made, there is nothing that appears to warrant post-race penalties.
Most of the problems I think were caused there by multiple spun or crashed parties trying to right their cars at the same time, with oncoming traffic on its way through.
Re-entry to traffic caution is advised, especially around chicanes with railings where your car may not be visible to oncoming traffic, because it's hidden behind a railing.

Frankly, if I never race on Madrid Reverse again, it will be too soon. 👎 I really hate it there.
In fact, I think there's something very sinister about tracks that start out with a chicane as turn one.

 

[Phouchg]

I had a real good day that thursday, only that disconnect in the last race that ruined it all. ^^ Even managed to avoid those weird pop ups.

 

[watermelon punch]

I'm still laughing about your avoiding the rising boxes so deftly... as if you expected them... as it was a normal thing for you to need to drive around in the track. Oh... boxes, pardon me, boxes...

 

[jackargent]

hoping to race Tuesday this week. but won't make Thursday

 

[Chiochan]

My boss is out of town this week so my attendance may vary.(not at work, on the track)

 

[Chiochan]

Sight seeing and granola break.
And now for a magic trick. I will make this golden Triumph disappear.

Ala Kazzam!

Viola! Can I get a round of applause for my assistant, Johnwells.

And was also planning a similar caption!!!

 

[KingKlingeling]

Congrats @LongbowX , very close again
And nice pics , looks like a car show at eiger

Edit: I just saw the golf mk1 on the picture !
hip hop lowrider car show then

 

[LongbowX]

It's almost always close! No pressure.

Very picturesque location for a car show.

 

[watermelon punch]

I have a terrible confession to make.
I can't make the Saturday results yet, because I'm missing results from one race.
I neglected to snap a pic of the results OR save the replay, for the Nurb 24 hrs race on Saturday.
Probably because I very unfortunately lost my temper during that race. So I was distracted.
Sorry!!!!
Can someone come up with that set of results, please?
Thank you!

Which race? I might have the replay.

 

[watermelon punch]

Saturday's race at Nurb 24hrs...
If you were in it tongo, you would've been in the G35, because you were not in the previous race.
