Garry ive taken you out, Karl and Daz ive poped you in! Has anybody built their car or know what they are uaing?

Chris,

You can remove me from the entry list for this league squire, as I won't be participating unfortunately (don't actually remember signing up for this one either, lol). Need to have some nights free for other things I'm afraid.

 

[Chris Bell]

Was on page 1 mate, no worries will take your name off

Chris,

Spotted it. I remember now registering as a reserve/maybe entry, but time is not on my side for this one.

 

[Dazmaniac]

I can't make this one, guys. Was hoping I could but I'm supposed to be attending my work Xmas do. In January.

Bloody hell, talk about getting it in early, lol.

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

Any test times?.....

 

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

Mine's a 1:02.613, that's with a huge 3 lap practice by the way.

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

That looks freakin sweeeeeet! I need to get my car properly painted up.

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

My best time on a clean lap is a 1.02.887

Regarding incidents/vids for the Stewards.

I've looked back at a couple of incidents (DTM/SC series) and sometimes you really need to look at many angles from different cars to get a true picture of what happened. You are (slightly) limited if you only review a storefront replay - not as many features available(?).

Helicopter from on high is good for looking at who had racing line, you can also see if sudden unexpected moves were made. Driving with different view options gives drivers more or less visibility of what's around them - this leads to blind spots and, I fear, incidents. I always drive chase cam to see a little of what's alongside me and avoid side swiping as I enter corners etc..

Biggest problem is the slow process of only 1 vid at a time to Forza.net. You can overwrite but it is very slow process.

I also noticed the impression you get from viewing at different camera running speeds. In reviewing incidents I think we should be looking at normal running speed to gauge how driver could have reacted.

Everyone can make odd mistakes but if it happens too often then I think RD penalties should be applied. We are here to race cleanly and fairly and not win at all costs aren't we?

It's only a game.

Nuff said .... I've gone on long enough.

Your right wayne!! I drive on bonnet cam which as a view is very restricted but it only takes a flick to check either side!! Aslong as you think about what your doing and are aware of your surroundings then you shouldnt really have any issues!! Just think about it!! Last night was a prime example, race 1 i think myself and Jimmy side by side for 3-4 corners, simply because we knew where eachother was and where we would be in prep for each corner but also respected that we both had the right to be there and didnt just swipe for the apex!!

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

managed a 1:00.8 last night, theres a couple more tenths there to be had, a few tweeks to the tune are needed but not sure ill get time.

 

[Ash Kendall]

Good luck tonight, guys!

 

[Chris Bell]

Looking at the practice times i think we need a lap extension as there will only be 20mins of racing

1st race 15 laps
2nd race 25 laps

Is everyone happy with this???

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

Sure fine for me.Without a pitstop I presume as it's a short track.

 

[Dan Smith]

There are so many different views you can look at a replay. Gotta be at least 40-50 different angles, although some of them do limit viewing space. I find if your looking into an incident, the game cameras are the best to get an idea of the drivers point of view, but for rear facing cameras I find it's best to use "Car FAR". When you are selecting a camera, click on the symbol again and you'll get a different angle. Some camera have about 10 different angles to choose from.

 

[Dan Smith]

Laps are fine by me. More the merrier imo.

 

[Chris Bell]

Yes guys no pit stop tonight!!
