Red Bull X2014 Extreme World Championship Season1 Sign up Now!!/Win big prizes!!Open 

yeah, thats really late, especially since its workday tomorrow, probably need to start alteast 1 hour earlier...
for me the race wont be done until 1am, that would give me 4.5 hours of sleep before work, thats not enough.
 
I'll open the room 45 minutes ahead of scedule. If IP gives the go ahead then we can start early. But another problem is that some people may still be assuming that the race is starting on scedule and may miss the race if we start too early.
 
We have different time here in europe room should be are open now Agro you guys in US still can race today with our new time in europe ?

If I go by utc then the room should open in an hour. European time moved ahead 1 hour, not universal time 👍

Retiring after a few laps due to a lag spike crash, and an unnecessary, annoying sound glitch with the f:censored: car in the game. :grumpy:

Edit: If you don't know what the sound is, it's a high pitch sound (not as high as a dog whistle) that replaced the car sound.

#lostkimi, where you going bro?
 
Well that was a ****ing disaster, found some great pace (finally) and without all the ******** in the game (being pushed off, game filling up 100 liters of fuel etc.) I recon my race time would have been arond 1:20:xxx dead:grumpy:
 
Ok I don't really know where to start, from a racing point of view I drove as hard as I could and worked really hard throughout the race to recover positions which were unfairly taken away from me. I felt as if I deserved at least 4th place on my pace but it wasn't to be I suppose. I'm sorry for my outburst following the race but I hope once you all watch the incidents I hope you'll see my point of view, and why I was frustrated. I try to drive as fair and as cleanly with everyone and give others respect, however tonight this was thrown in my face by a few drivers. It's not fair when I've been practicing hard for this race and people just decide to take my hard work away from me even when they are not involved in the same battle with me.

Safe to say that it's one of the worst GT races I've had in years and one which I don't think I've ever worked harder during to recover places, can't remember the last time I finished 8th lol. Tbh at the time I was thinking about quitting the series, but I'm not going to let that happen I've never quit anything in my life. But one thing I hate is unfair driving and being disrespectful. Also to prevent me looking like a hypocrite, I would like to apologise to Ayrton for nudging him a few times but you were lagging really badly on my screen mate, at the point where I would overtake you on the left then you would jump 10ft in front :/ Made it almost impossible to pass, but you positioned your car really well.

So incidents to report;

Lap 1 - S2 - I was hit by many cars which may need looked at but the main incident was caused by Andromeda hitting me clean off the track when I was well ahead of him. He used me as a brake and didn't slow to let me by or apologise after the race. This incident ruined my race as I had to change strategy.

Lap 33 - S1 and S2 - When battling for 2nd place with Nik we approached zplay to pass. He held us up and didn't less us pass easily which caused Nik to catch up to the back of me. Then after we passed him, Nik cleanly overtook me after slipstreaming me and we were side by side causing us to slow down compared to Zplay. Zplay does not lift off throttle and spins my car round completely, which entirely ruined my race after I fought back to 2nd... unbelievable :/

Lap 45 - S3 last turn - When approaching bus stop, Andromeda was slow on the brakes when I was behind giving me a chance to get side by side. I touch him slightly so I back off to give him the position, yet he pushes me to the right and spins my car. It didn't cost me any places but easily could've done, and totally disrespectful. Even boasted about it afterwards saying it was his fault, but yet didn't apologise... Surely this isn't fair and something has to be done.

Lap 42 - S2 - I was battling with Ayrton for 4th place after zplay had hit me off and cost me so much time, on the Kemmel straight and was making an overtake on the outside. But mustard goes in to corner way too deep and hits me off the track. Rich did apologise after it though which I appreciate mate :)

Since drop scores aren't allowed, I feel as if my race was heavily compromised by these incidents and would appreciate it if the stewards look into them. Great win though Immortal, and great drives by Aug and Nik. Just wish that I was allowed to fight up there with you fairly :/ Hope that the next race will be better for me, just a bit gutted atm as my practice race time would've been good enough for 2nd.

Sorry to all that had a bad race. I struggled for speed but thankfully didn't scrap too much apart from bumping Chris and thankfully not taking us both out. little traffic drama allowed me to pass those that had fights & crashes. :sly:

Well turn 1 lap 1 seemed reasonable from my seat, ayrtonschumachi gave me plenty of room on the inside or maybe that was someone else dont remember. It all seemed to go wrong after the kemmel straight up front. For the life of me I dont know why nobody could pass immortal with the draft, I'll have to watch but it looked like some racers crashed as I started in the back of the pack and was ahead of Aug, Chris & company after sector 2... he he he

I had a lonesome race if I'm honest, all the battling and fighting seemed to be happening elsewhere thankfully. To Chris I'm real sorry, I got too much speed down the kemmel straight with 4 laps to go or so, and bumped chris and forced myself onto the parking lot area. Thankfully we kept going okay without too much loss in momentum. It was real tough to pass with the dirty air, at times it was non-existent but other times it seemed to cause my car to snap sideways. Anyways fair play to AYRTONSCHUMI for the 4th place, I cant believe that Chris or I couldn't pass. :ouch:
 
yeah great fun all round. really enjoyed it.

during the race someone was going round at 50mph (start button) I met them on the racing line going into Pouhon. I didn't know if I could drive through or had to drive around them. Lost time going in at a tight angle. If you can't keep lapping please pull into the pits before pressing start.

I did not apologize because I do not feel I have anything to apologize for. I took the inside, and held that line really tight, I did not use you as a brake. On top of that, when I looked at the replay, I cant believe you blame me for that, when you got back on track, I just managed to pass you, you where right on my tail, the palces you lost was after that.

In the last corner, you hit me pretty hard, almost forcing me off the track, and I did not see you lifting off at all, if you look at the replay, just the lap before I made the first mistake, I accidentally made the same thing to mazoki, but unlike you, I lifted off heavily, and allowed him to take the line infront of me. you kept going and did not leave any room for me on the inside.
 
GT did something very odd to me and this I swear was a very odd glitch...

I was about to start the race and to get to the race starting screen, it took a minute. Then, I was spawned in an incomplete environment of spa (the track/neither did not completely load yet). The lights for the timer went to the one then suddenly everything loaded, including the players (that I saw) just at the time the flag dropped to go. I was 13th.

I understand the anger Chris. I apologize and I am greatly sorry for what happened today. Its my fault for not looking around and noticing a full grid that I saw in qualifying that dissappered on the race grid... Whatever consequences are coming to me because of this I must inherit due to my lack of communication.

Could you not see me? That would explain it, but you should've said man if that was the case!
 
Decision from Agro Rich and me

L1 T7:
It was 3 wide with nik, IP, and chris. Andro was a few car lengths back. Chris brakes early on the outside to let nik and ip through. Andro overestimates the braking distance of the 3 cars, and divebombs chris.

Warning for overly aggressive overtaking.

L33 T9:
Chris and Nik are side by side and slows each other up. Zplay (2 laps down) attempts to get beside chris on outside. Spins chris in a big way and did not slow.

A warning for now, but he must be reminded that he must blue flag himself when he's being lapped by a driver.

L42 T7:
Chris is side by side ayrton. Mustard goes too deep and hits chris. Looks like a lapse in judgement, and chris did not lose too much time. An apology was also given.

Racing incident. No further action.

L45 T19 & T20:
Chris trys a last chance overtake on last corner, but is a bit far away. He hits andro, and andro trys to get a good exit, and pushes chris wide.

Both drivers at fault in this one imo. A warning to each.


Andro seem a bit too aggressive in the races. He's very quick, but I think his racecraft is to be improved. A warning for his incidents seem sufficient for now, but I think he needs to be reminded that he needs to give other drivers more respect.

I must note that these reviews are in my words. But the conclusion amongst the stewards were the same.
Andromeda, I know your a great driver, but just calm down a bit :)

To all drivers:

Any incidents that looks like a retaliatory action will be harshly looked at by the stewards. Any incidents shall be taken care of AFTER the race, not in it.

You might need to download GT6.... if the disc is scratched that is.

Maybe find a blue ray DVD cleaner like a Laser Lens cleaner to help the PS3 read the disc. You are in Texas Monster? Is it hot in the room your racing in? My PS3 always performs poorly above 68 F or so. I always open the window to let cold air on it while racing. Vacuuming out the vents in the back to keep dust out is good too.

After watching the replay I am disappointed that the stewards did not penalize Andromeda. I have seen penalties for much less in Extreme, FGTA and other major championships.

On the exit of the first corner Andromeda forced my team-mate Aughablo almost clean off the track and - if it was a mistake - did not lift to acknowledge it - and of course there were incidents that followed with other drivers that affected my team-mate, as well as other drivers, and possibly the race result.

I accept the stewards decisions, but consider Andromeda a lucky boy and hope he improves for the remaining races.

On the race itself, a fantastic drive from Aughablo after the setbacks he faced on that first lap, Nik who looked accomplished out there, Ayrton who was my driver of the day, and Immortal for the win.

There was notnig dirty about that whatsoever, and also there was no incident report about it.

Furthermore, I have discussed the incidents with the stewards, and we are in agreement of what happend, why it happend, etc. and I have accepted what they had to say about it, and will try to adjust my driving accordingly.
