Keiros and Simba sorry for accidents. I tried to leave enough space, but probably I didn't. Sadly I don't have replay and can't check what happened. For me seamed I slightly touched tyres and your cars airborned :(. I was waiting to get back a possition but Keiros started offroading so I thought you got damage.
After accident Simba disappeared from my screen, I was waiting but you didn't come :(
Sorry guys

Tried to avoid problems in qually I was talking earlier and before leaving pits I reselected Loose setup - car was fine, but I got 60 l of fuel on board after that :)
 
How did the new start procedure work?

Did it go as planned?
Ok-ish. I think some people were counting "1 thousand, 2 thousand" quicker than others. :)
No crashes though. Well not at the first corner anyway. ;)

It's OK @Sick Cylinder nowt to worry yourself about. If the damage wasn't on I'd have been back on your tail. Good 4th place. 👍

It's a hard track to overtake on while maintaining our usual driving standards. There were some slightly flaky connection problems which didn't help matters either.

The V8s will hopefully be more robust - but harder to control!


I, for once, did save the replay @Tavilha. I'll have to see if I can get it to you somehow.

No Sick, I had no connection issue. I just quit in the 2nd lap. I am having a GT planet forum issue lately and sometimes do not get the forum emails when someone adds to the thread. I rely on those email notices to go into the forum for Monday's league, and keep up with changes and such.
I did not see the long post you did yesterday changing the start type, so my individual practice was all against AI with a rolling start...which by the way, seemed to work very well.
So, I was pretty stunned when I saw your message just before the race...I didn't understand what we were doing exactly. When the race started, the cars in front of me seemed to take off together so I quickly assumed each row was leaving at 1 sec. intervals. I waited and then took off, but my row mate did not...as it turns out he was correct, but I thought I had jumped the start and stopped to let him pass me. Then I had to quickly recover and chase after him. I just became totally discombobulated after this and then beginning lap 2, he slowed giving me a chance to pass, which I blew by going around him too hot...slid off and spun, and ended up last again. I admit I got angry at the whole start issue and subsequent events and just quit the race, and took a walk around town. Admittedly a rather childish thing to do. My apologies.
Has anyone else had this forum notification issue? My email alerts are set correctly as always, but not always working. Any suggestions?
 
We having such a good race, with Skip and Old. I didn't read the start procedure till after the race, Sick did say last, quickly, in the messages.

I haven't had any issues in the emails, but now when, what a thread, don't choose emails anyway.
Find it just was giving lots off emails, so just go too watched threads instead Skip.:)

Thanks, John...maybe I can be more proactive and open the forum more often even when not prompted. 💡

Don't worry about it we all have those moments. ;)

The way GTP works is that you get an alert (and email in your case) when someone posts a new message on the threads you are watching. If, for some reason, you open the alerts menu (or mail) but don't visit the thread you will not get another reminder until you do visit the thread again. So this is why confusion can occur.
On top of the main forum window there is a "watched threads" button - this is probably the best option to use when chasing up your viewing pleasure because it shows all your threads. :)

You'll always get an alert if someone quotes one of your messages or tags you though.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, If...another weird thing is lately, now that I think about it, my forum alert email has popped up in the 'promotions' inbox instead of Gmail primary. I would still see it but not in the proper inbox. I probably have a Gmail issue more than a forum one.
I have now saved a link to both of Sick's forums on my desktop and will try to remember to check for changes before race day...:banghead:

How could I, after kissing the wall the car was nearly undriveable. I do not understand why you had to drive into me while overtaking. When contacting your front tyre was behind my front tyre so you should have seen me at this time. I was driving on the right side next to the grass didn´t intend to block you or even steering to the left to give you a bad position for the left-hander you could have been going past me without any problems.

OK, those things happens, maybe its better not to think about it. Next race is coming soon and OMG its Long Beach in an open wheeler ... may the luckiest win.

PS the incident you mentioned with keiros, I wouldn´t see that it was your fault because he went off track before and reentering the track was not very fair because he blocked you immediately. If he had reentered the track carefully you would have been in the front and there wouldn´t have been a battle in the next turn. Only my opinion.

Very sorry. It was 100 % my fault. I was looking by side view where was you. It was quite big gap and I wanted to use line closer to racing line and contact happened. I didn't think track is narrower after pit exit than I was looking at you I was looked about the start line). Maybe I used bad sadle position because I didn't see you when contact happened. Sorry again
 
You did get your wheels tangled up. It doesn't take to much contact to damage these cars.

You'll know when Sick bumps you off track through, he makes a really good job of it. :mischievous:

:lol:

When Skip retired, after his discombobulation, in disgust he must have parked the car in wet concrete!

Hope they can dig it out ready for next week. :)

OH MY! And the 'glitch' beat goes on...
 
But current date is winter and if select seasson "summer" date automatically change to summer time.
I did 1 hour practice at Ruapuna with JAN and winter, all practice tyres were cold, but in the MON race they were hot, so something according date setup was different.
 
Hi everyone...
I will not be racing tomorrow (Monday) due to changing work schedule...so now there is a seat free.
In fact, I asked Sick to put me on reserve for now as my schedule just became unstable for the foreseeable future.
See ya around guys, and good luck in Long Beach...be sure to visit the Queen Mary while there ;)!
 
I recently went to the launch of the new Brabham BT62 and there was a pretty impressive historic display, so thought I'd share a few pics with you guys. David Brabham (Jack's son and 2009 Le Mans winner) was kind enough to give me a tour. I asked him if the new car would be in a computer game near us any time soon, he wouldn't give anything away but said he was in discussion with several studios and that they would go with the one that offered the best deal and the most exposure for the brand. He also said he already had a good relationship with Turn 10 from the historic Brabham DLC on Forza, so I assume that's where the BT62 will end up. But I did say I thought PC would do the car the most justice in terms of physics/dynamics, so if we end up with it you guys own me a beer!

(ps @IanBell we need some Brabhams, new and old!)

BT62
Track-only, though David hopes road and and endurance racer version will follow – he's got his eyes on Le Mans if the rumoured return to production-based GT1-style rules to replace the outgoing LMP1 category materialises...
70 will made at £1m each, first 35 will have liveries inspired by the 35 Brabhams that won an F1 race. The launch car honours the BT19 that Jack won the Driver's and Constructor's title with in 1966 (the Brabham team's first-ever GP win)


BT45
Designed by Gordon Murray, first Brabham with an Alfa engine (flat 12). Owned by the Rossi family (owners of Martini) – the other two remaining BT45s are owned by Alfa and Bernie E


BT42
Also owned by the Rossi family, delivered after its retirement (with BT44-style bodywork from the factory) and still in their collection.

BT24
Denny Hulme's car for the Championship-winning 1967 season

BT11
Used to develop the BT19 that Jack used to win the Driver's and Constructor's Titles in 1966

BT3
Brabham's first Formula 1 car

Midget Racer
Probably the most important car here. After leaving the Aussie Air Force, Jack Brabham used his mechanic skills to set up a machining shop. He was asked to build a Midget racer, but the bloke he built it for had one too many accidents and his wife barred him from racing it. He persuaded Jack to enter it in a race, which he won. He carried on winning races, moved to the UK and the rest is history.


Trophies
A few historic artefacts from the Brabham family's collection were shipped over for the event, including Jack's first winner's trophy for the 1959 Monaco GP (awarded to him by Princess Grace), his driving gear and the 1966 Dutch GP Trophy. In the lead-up to winning the latter, Jack hobbled to his car on the grid with a cane and a false moustache, playfully mocking the critics who said at 40 he was too old to race...


Sorry for long post. Looking forward to my first race in the Type 49 this eve!

Awesome tour!
 
Never mind the BT62 we need the Midget Racer in PCars. Imagine a grid full of those, it would be a blast.

Yes! Brabham Junior said he was a bit apprehensive when he first got to drive it because he wasn't sure if it would drift or roll! :lol:

Almost forgot, look how you decide on the livery your BT62 wears...
