Let's concentrate on the foul language instead of real issue as lord knows we shouldn't want some 5 year old to stumble across the word and have his whole life ruined.

FFS. Now I've seen the footage, my replay got overwritten, it's a lay down misere, bradc receives a penalty for that or my name isn't.

9/10 drivers agree bradc should cop first lap penalty for that. Tell me I'm not wrong

Dude, you disagree with how it was judged.  That's going to happen in life. Accept and move on. It happens to everyone at some point.  No need to bring yourself down with that sort of rubbish.  I'm sure you're a decent bloke, so get it together and put one incident, from one race in a game that has no real bearing on life behind you.  It's not worth the agro mate.

I happen to think, based on the video, that Brad should have pulled over to the left more once he had fallen behind you to allow some room, but I get what Wally is saying and you have to respect that Wally is running the league and making the best judgement call he can.  No need to make an already difficult job more difficult for him.

Aha, thanks. I have no excuse then!

63
Disappointed I'm away for work tonight. Would have liked to have tried the Skippy.  Enjoy!
Make sure to post what you thought of the mod :)

It might be good as a learning process for us all Wally, obviously not to target Seanus or Brad.

65
...Tricky one: Seanus just passed Brad, but then braked when very close to Brad who did move a little towards Seanus. Wheels touched and Seanus went off, but I’ll judge that to be a racing incident because Brad probably didn’t have time to react when Seanus braked so soon after passing....

I relied on you last night Wally to keep my cool, as that incident happened I was fit to burst, but told myself that someone was getting a penalty, and now I've been let down.
Came out of Spoon, Bradc was slowish and I gained fast, chose the right side which was almost a mistake as the gap closed, I think I may have taken some grass. Now I need to negotiate 130R possibly two abreast. Brake at some point only to see in 'car radar' that it seemed like Bradc was tucking in for the slipstream and that was never going to work.

The incident itself is trivial, similar stuff happens all the time, but I feel somewhat aggrieved by the following decision.

And it's all good bradc,  :) ;) :D We ended up in one or two battles through the rest of the night.

Sounds like if you were on the outside of someone going into 130R then you were on a hiding to nothing.

Got to accept the ruling and move on.  It sounds like almost everyone has been involved in an incident with these cars. Good to hear the racing was great for the rest of the time though.

For me, the CPU is the thing to shell out on most because it has less significant impact on fps and so it will lay longer without upgrading, and most importantly needs a while new mobo of upgrading again.

GPU get the cheapest you can that will give you what you want as thats the thing being upgraded most often.

I'm wondering what kind of setup you guys are driving...if you don't mind to share, please upload it on the test server.   For example, I remember, Guybrush, you've made a few really good sets! ;)

I've posted a Fez setup on ptracker.  I think I did it right. Haven't ran any laps really but will try to get on later tonight.

68
I haven't really had any time on the track and will only be home Sunday night and then away until race night so I'll see if I can run a few laps Sunday, make some tweaks and then post a setup then.

69
What's the best way to share setups?

Thursday Nights fun racing / Re: Fun run 9/5

The ball and chain is stepping out for the night... Woohoo!  Praise the lord! I might be able to turn up for a quick blast.

71
Yep. Great night of fun guys. Good to be back in the saddle.  Although I'm a bit rusty!  Apologies to anyone I tangled with - including the barriers on the outside of turn 2 multiple times...

Will done to KCender, Bacchulum and ab on the podiums.

72
Qual starts at 8:30 right?

73
KCender really should be your reference.  I just had the chance to do a bit of practice.  I haven't properly tried it but I think getting the Lotus up there in time is probably more of an achievement.

And...points are only handed out on Sunday... Or Tuesday as it were.
Was just using you because you've done 310km/h in the Ferrari and I can just get 307km/h sort of flickering at best...sometimes.

Look at the power and torque curves and set your gearing around that.  Just because you've got room to move in top gear (5th) doesn't necessarily mean you will go as fast as a shorter gear that peaks at the right engine output.  :)
I'm running the highest 5th gear in the eagle and the revs are maxed out well before the end of the straight . . . . there's no more! :'(

That could be why the eagle looks to gain time on the straights but doesn't have a higher top speed - it gets to its top speed quicker.
