Thursday Nights fun racing / Re: Fun Run 11/10/2016

Just got confirmation i can pick up the pedals i got off gumtree tomorrow night so will miss this  8)

Yeah good stuff Hornbag. When I started with XGN I was the same; rather that looking for what position I'd come (because I'd always be last), my goal was to be lapped by the fewest number of people  ;D

I also don't get the rage quitters, some people just wanna be in the top few positions or not race at all. I've had plenty of races right a the back due to spins; I just enjoy the game.

I think this penalty is actually a good thing and would prefer an option to not resume after escaping by server setting.

I agree with this. Kinda takes away from the realism if you can just teleport back to the pits. The only time I could see it necessary is on dodgy mod tracks where you can actually get the car stuck.

I was using plp but was just curious. Will be moving it to my central monitor after tonight so i dont miss the cuts  ;D

EDIT: Out of interest does PLP use the same rules as the AC cuts? In practice I found PLP would register a cut quite often when the game did not, but I thought they always used to be inline.
No, they are not exactly the same. PLP is quite more restrictive when we have asphalt runoffs, but it forgives you a bit more if you actually slow down while outside the line.

I knew it was based on speed you go off and back on but thought track limits were the same

Joe and Hornbag got a 10 second penalty for cutting on their qualifying laps.

Ah man! That puts a massive downer on what was a great race. I bailed out 3 low 08s which would have put me top 5ish as I noticed the cut, and didn't notice it on that one; I definitely would have slowed if I did. Would have been better off keeping the faster ones  :(

Was a fun race though, got Wally at the end of the straight on the opening lap due to his heavier fuel load. A few laps later I went around the outside of someone who went sideways on the hairpin before the straight, which was a mistake as I couldn't take the fastest line and Wally came up in the inside to the take the spot back. I then couldn't get past for quite a while and with my low fuel load it was really hurting my times. I was so close at time I'm not sure how we didn't touch, and eventually I got a draft right at the start of the straight and went past.

I pitted after lap 11 for fuel, which undercut a few people including Simone! I came out into relatively clean air and can't even remember that stint. I think I just kept it clean enough and then came in for tyres at the end of lap 16 as I could feel they were going off.

A few laps later Wally came out of the pits just behind me, and I had already got a 10 second cut penalty so I made it my mission to get 10 seconds ahead of him (not that it mattered now...) I was making good pace slowly closing the gap on Mael, but then every time I got to a back marker the gap would increase a little. I think I got it from 8.5 to 5 seconds, and I was well clear of Wally and Russ running > 10 seconds behind.

Was really happy with 11th to 5th, but looks like that's bumped down to 8th due to two 10 second penalties. Still a lot of fun.

Like Simone strikes fear into Wally each week. ;)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;Actually i got 2 opponents now that i`d like to strike with fear,and.....Joe....mate....my dust will make your mouth dry(ahahahha i love this quote :-X)

On the little more serious note,is gonna be a stormy night north Brisbane and it is not reccomended to use a PC during tropical storms,so guys,i`d love to race but i have 50% of not making it  :( :( :( :( :( :(

All that talk and now making excuses? Seems you're scared to me..

1525
I have no preference so just do me whatever. Maybe a yellow one  :)

1526
Grat and I are going to finish 1 and 2, Marty willing.

That's a bold statement to make there Wally! I was in the zone last night doing consistant low 07s, but doubtful that'll happen tonight  ;D

Race Videos / Re: Silverstone 1967 Video Highlights

as a follow on from Des' great race videos, I have a way to add the drivers' names to the windscreen upper.
I will create the files for each racer before next week's race, but we need to have a car selection,
Phil are you happy to allocated selected cars to racers on the server?

Good work Bruce, would be good to know who is who!

1528
Phil, I PM'd you about team pit strategy as I have no idea and last week didn't work out so well  ;D

1529
That race has multiple restarts for other reasons, and someone complained twice that it was a rolling start and why were people overtaking, but it wasnt a rolling start.

1530
I don't mind a bit of chatter at all personally, what bugs me though is listening to people breathing, changing gears, etc. I'd love to see "Push-to-talk" be an enforced thing. This is not a go at anybody directly, so please don't take it that way. I'm just someone who gets annoyed by things like that in general very easily. :)
