I feel soomehow that sunday re-races should be re thought.
They were supposed to be an exception not the rule...they should be only used to fix DCs outside the restart rule and to allow people with Real Life impedments on saturday evening to race on sunday.
I was able to race in schedulled day and hour and in the end I was only allowed to do one race...not happy,no sir.

I feel that every lobby should have a backup host just in case a problem arises like in group A last night.
Steveo how the hell are you going to hold your beer mate?

Does anyone know where I can get a new shifter for G25? Mines is playing up. Try to get 1st some times engages neutral. 2nd is almost impossible, keeps engaging 4th. And when I go for 4th it either engages 2nd or 6th.
Its effecting my laps badly, still going to participate tonight but I'll get out of anyones way. Will get a new shifter this week if I can find out where and depending on the price.
Sorry for long post!

As far as I can tell the following people from Group A need to re-run the 2nd and 3rd races...
arvore
Aldo001
Mohamu
Jamie-C
Chaperz19
kemp333
MannyMoenjack
Aldo001 actually needs to do all three if he can...
Since this is nearly a full lobby we may have the unprecidented situation of having to run two lobbies on a Sunday. I do hope that this full re-race on Sunday's doesn't become a common occurance. I assume the recent DLC and the overloaded EA servers had something to do with all the disconnects yesterday...
As I said above, I can host the re-race for the Group A lobby at 5pm EST.

See yous there with my poorly gearbox
Maybe you could use the paddle shifts? It might be awkward at first but couldn't be worse than a missed gear, right?
Oh dear God! Flank Speed Astern!!!

Yea I think thats what I'm going to do. I've only used them once or twice though and couldn't get the hang of it. Might go do a bit of practice with them now actually.

As I usually have to do at the beginning of every season, I would like to send out a word of caution to everyone, but to our new guys in particular
Please use discretion when passing other cars in the League races. By this I mean, if you think you might bump the guy you are planning to pass wait for a better opportunity.
If you do make contact with another car, particularly in the act of passing that car, you must fall back and allow him to regain his position in front of you. You may not advance your race position by means of contact.
Some helpful hints
Thanks.

Some helpful hints
- If you pass Driver A and you see him off the track behind you you most likely made contact with him although you might not have felt anything.
- If you are racing closely with another driver and he suddenly disappears and you notice hes dropped to the back of the pack you most likely made contact with him.
- A microphone is the best way to find out if you made a clean pass if you dont have one, get one. Theyre not very expensive and it may save some very hard feelings later.
Thanks.

I was just going to run Group A as it was yesterday since we all got booted. I was only going to run race 2 and race 3 if Aldo wasn't going to be able to make it.

I can't race tonight so you can do race 2&3.
I am so tired after a tough tennis match that I won
I would literally fall asleep during the race... I've done it before and my car was mashed after 2 seconds of shut-eye
Goddamn other commitments that are slightly more important

If we need an extra (and it looks like we might because arvore probably won't make it) can I invite you if you're not racing?
No problem Allyn.👍

I was guessing a tuned Zonda would be able to cut some tme off a fast lap at Nord since my times on a stock Zonda at SPA & Silverstone are so much slower than with my tuned Zonda...
Once in awhile I'll get obsessed with a time or track and do my best to reach my goal time. It really is ridicules that I've had this game for over four month's and have only done Nordschliefe less than 12 laps. The reason I call it Project Darkos is because you have the times I'll be shooting for. If I ever get obsessed with Ambush driving an Audi R8 I'll call it "Project Hog" since he's over a second a lap faster than meI'm not dead yet! So you could at least wait until Grimm Reaper take the swing at my head. Then you could call project's with my name
Anyway have fun with Ring. Ill started with DBR9, squeezed absolutely everything and switch to Zonda R.

God I'm glad I'm back! Was great racing tonight.
Spa was a good race, had some close racing with Kemp until I cocked up and then I couldn't catch him again. Had a bit of close racing with Manny and nearly took us both out trying to overtake in the tight chicane near the end of the lap and made him go wide so apologies for that, should have waited, no contact though so all is good
Nurburg was also pretty good, had very little practice for this and no practice at all with paddles was close racing with Kemp again but he spun and I got in front and then I kept pulling away from him , on the final lap I was really getting in to it and enjoying the drive!
Overall a good weekend of racing for me. And my only question is, where is Chaperz getting the pace from? He is flying!
My results:
Glendale 3rd
Spa 3rd
Nurburg 4th
Sorry no pics so cant help with any one else's results.

The make-up races went pretty much without a hitch, except for the fact that we lost addictions early in the Spa / Ford GT race.
I must say that based on what I've seen so far we ought to just hand chaperz19 the trophy right now. He was the only person to actually finish either of the two races. We were all at least 30 seconds or more behind him.
On my part I'd like to compliment Mohamu not only on his racing skills but his behavior on the track. He and I were mixing it up in both races and when there was contact he did exactly the right thing. Mohamu I felt like you deserved 2nd place on the Nordschliefe race due to the fact that I spun in front of you and you only hit me because I was sideways. That's why I made you pass me on the long straight. You ran great races on both tracks. 👍
One problem I have is that somehow my camera didn't catch the names of the drivers on the Nordschliefe race. I know chaperz19 was in 1st, Mohamu in 2nd, and I got 3rd, but I'm not sure who got 4th or 5th. If those guys could post it as soon as they can I'd appreciate it.
Edit: I see that Jamie-C got 4th at Nordschliefe. Good racing tonight Jamie.
