Season 9 - General Discussion

[Valerio Vinassa]

well done Kennet I tried this evening your track is very nice need more technique and clean driving

 

[Jonas Lex]

edit:
I wrote something longer yesterday but the more I think about it, the more it seems ridiculous having to defend myself for suggesting ideas.
-For the third time: I cant change my situation so please count my vote as not valid, this has nothing to do with "refuse to vote"
-Also for the third time: I accept this voting system so please let it be now and David stop going at me

ok then I will rate the 2 tracks I know end leave out the other tracks

This sentence is not rude, if you see it like that then I cant change that

 

[Peter Marshall]

If something doesnt make sense to me I will ask .....

That is the only sane way to live.

 

[Jonas Lex]

That is the only sane way to live.

I edited the post the same time you wrote this but thanks anyway Peter

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

No worries Jonas, there is no ill intentions from me either. it is just that when I get pressured on time I get stressed up, and I did not know how to solve this problem as answering your argumentation have taken a lot of time lately. but you are right that there is no excuse for me to answer in an unfriendly way.

For the future I would like to say that sometimes I must be short and brutal in my answers to save time and spend it where I have to. That does not mean I do not respect suggestions, just that I am a normal human being limited on time. Besides running and racing in this league I work more than fulltime in my own business, I play football, I race go-kart, I work out etc. etc.

But now I must run the mountains for the weekend

 

[Jonas Lex]

Nico I wasnt aware that this was bothering so much, so, sorry for that, but I assure you that there is no bad habit behind this. I just see a lot of potential in this league, as Im sure you do too and then there are some things where I dont see the point but it shouldnt be that you have less free time because of that, thats why I offer to help whereever I can with threads, video or articles or stuff like that.
So if you have something that needs to be done that I can do, then I'll be willing to help.
I live very close to the Alps, so I know how nice such a mountain adventure is, so have lots of fun there

 

[David Turnbull]

jonas i didnt mean anything personal with the posts i made, i just meant as nico has said, give him a break, everyone has a life away from prestogp and must be allowed some personal time at least during the off season, everything in the league will turn out fine, its always does so calm down and take things easy sometimes it seems like you and kennett have duracell batterys you guys go on and on like the duracell bunny i still enjoy and respect your posts though so dont stop just dont get annoyed if suggestions are sometimes overlooked or discounted.

p.s before anyone mentions, yes i am now the epitomy of calm and taking it easy lol

 

[Bob Luneski]

Any calendar is fine with me. I expect to attend any and all races

Ditto

 

[Bob Luneski]

...mentioned the bump in Blanchimot and Eau Rouge to be too tricky. I can only say that both can be handled with sensible driving and the correct line (like in real racing)....

One of the things I like and respect about you Reik is your ability to make calm and sensible statements of the obvious.

 

[Bob Luneski]

Then I shall help you along. As I see it we can vote from this list.

Paul Ricard
Watkins Glen
Imola
Magny Cours
A1 Ring
Estoril
Dijon
Cicada

The vote will be done as I described a few days ago, because I think it is just as important to know what tracks people do not like to race as the once they do like to race.

Please forgive me, but I can't seem to find the post you described the voting process. Can you please point me to it or briefly describe it again. Thanks a zillion.

 

[Reik Major]

Thank you Bob.

You better don't get a girl friend then! Things can be over quickly. Or do you have one but forgot to mention her?

Jonas, you should make a screen shot from Davids faithfull post and save it well. Those are expected to be rare...

 

[Peter Marshall]

Please forgive me, but I can't seem to find the post you described the voting process. Can you please point me to it or briefly describe it again. Thanks a zillion.

Hope your eye has improved Bob.

Voting will be via a Race Director [Nico] sent email.
I believe there are two tracks that need to be selected [from a list of eight tracks] to fill two vacant race dates in our calendar. Race 6 & 8 I believe....

The proposed track list to choose from:

Paul Ricard - http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=15419

Watkins Glen - http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=14138

Imola - Ingame

Magny Cours - Ingame

A1 Ring - http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=7303

Estoril - Ingame

Dijon - http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=10543

Cicada - http://cream.galleria.fi/BTB/Projects/Cicada/Cicada_1.0.9.6_by_CreamTeam.zip

Please correct me if I have made wrong/unwise url's.

Each of us will assign a number to each track to rate it and send the email back to the Race Director...

In effect this will give the following score system: 5-4-3-2-1-0-0-0 instead of 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. The difference is very small in my view and will likely give the same result. I still marginally prefer 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, first and foremost because that is how we have done it earlier and it have worked very well but also because there are many that have an opinion of all tracks (even though they may not have raced them).

Our proposed Calendar:

22.8 –Presto - Race 1 – HUNGARY

uploaded 2011:http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=33712

N.B. Brazil is planned for the 5th of December I believe

None of this is set in stone and there are no prizes/ penalites.
The timing of the final race may move to a week earlier. Not certain....

 

[Jonas Lex]

oops wrong thread

 

[Jonas Lex]

Edit:
Video is up

 

[Dino Paolini]

Hey guys. Just wanted to say that I'm looking at this thread with some interest, as I'm interested to join you guys for season 9.

And to add some maybe useful information about the Hungaroring track that you guys want to run for Round 1:
The 2011 version is very well suited for good league racing; I've done a full league-race and a 2 hour enduro-race there with different cars already and it has proven to be very good

 

[Reik Major]

Cool, you're very welcome Dino! How much drivers have been at the grid there? I think Kennett said the spots are limited to 20.?

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Yup, 20 spots.. The fix incredibly east, locate the line max vehicles in GDB file and change it to 25. It will cause online mismatches, which is unfortunate but we'll change the name slightly so all those who doens't have the fix, will see "unknown" track.

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Welcome Dino ! on the track i think its same fix we had to do for sepang when everyone had pit problems so sure we would manage that.
That video is awsome Jonus i wouldnt no where to start making something like that very nice

 

[Bob Luneski]

Hope your eye has improved Bob.

Thanks. Totally healed and ready to race!!!!

 

[Jonas Lex]

Thanks sean I have the raw files for another 2 weeks untill then I can make changes, but now Im off to Barcelona for a week so I might not respond to any posts, cu until then
