rF2 V8 Supercars @ Surfer's Paradise - Mon January 11th 2010

[Rhys Gardiner]

No ideas? You got the details turned to max?

It's the same with me, Ryan. The curbs for me are white, no stripes at all. I'll try turning up my settings and see what happens.

By the by, my internet's fixed, so I'm certain for this event.

 

[Gary Lennon]

jeah

 

[Ryan Callan]

Weeeaaard. Try a wee re-install?

 

[jnl.42]

No need to reinstall, you only get the stripes on full track detail.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Nathan is almost right - you need to set 'Texture Detail' to full.

So you've been telling porkies Gary

 

[Gary Lennon]

No need to reinstall, you only get the stripes on full track detail.

I was on full,it has to be Max!,just sorted it and got me stripes now,but it has now become quite a different track almost everywhere!,have to do some re-learning,really some surprising major differences.

 

[Gary Lennon]

So you've been telling porkies Gary

More a case of whapping things up to "Full" and thinking that is the top setting,like some other games i have,but now discovering i can have more .

S'wat we meant

More a case of whapping things up to \\\"Full\\\" and thinking that is the top setting,like some other games i have,but now discovering i can have more .

Pfffft . A whole new world has opened up!

EDIT: Hang on one second - I can't get to Max. Full is the highest I have. You been on the 'shrooms again?

 

[Ian Bundell]

May I have a grid slot please

 

[Richard Sobolewski]

It's too tempting to say no

May I have a slot.

Cheers

[Daniel Higgins]

me please, im actually half good at this one

 

[Ivo Simons]

Thats was a hard one. Was doing oke had some little spins like everyone i think.
But in lap 11 i was focusing on my HUD instead of the road so i smashed the car agains the pit entry lol
Crazy track btw but huge fun.

 

[Daniel Higgins]

loved it got upto about 5th but then wasnt thinking at all about the race and just went down an escape road had to wait for all pack to go past so was last again did that a couple of times, me not paying attention. Few good battles though

at the end I just decided to see how long I could 'wheely' my car for over the humps

Thanks for setting it up

Dan.

 

[Martin Bulgin]

I seemed to be the slowest in qualifying and was having trouble in practice, but the race was excellent fun and I only really started to get a handle on the car during the race, I nicked a few places off the start and a battle with Ivo (again ) and Dan began to develop but we all had some spins and I finished in 7th I think, last of the runners, thanks Dan for the setup.

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

That was excellent stuff.

I started pretty well in 4th, but fell back to second last by the end of the first lap. I tried to concentrate on getting my positions back, and until my battle with Steven (which was bloody great) everything was a blur. By the time I had gotten past him and Ben had retired, I glanced at my HUD and was like "3rd?? Where the heck did that come from???"

So that was where I finished. Pretty chuffed with a podium in my country's cars at one of the world's best street circuits. Thanks for the event Ryan, and thanks all for the unusually clean driving for a street track.

Hope to see more Aussies at Bathurst on Sunday...

 

[Gary Lennon]

I never really became freindly with the track at all despite plenty practice runs,so didnt expect much and if im honest,i had a niggling in my head saying "early retirment in flames".....away in 3rd behind Ben and Greg and it was all holding stations for a lap or 2,then the gloves came off for some battle,i could hang with them fine very early,then some good old overdriving dropped me off slightly,a cloud of smoke at T1 and suddenly it was Greg just ahead in 2nd place now...then a bit later another cloud of smoke,and its Ben again ,not long after Ben clipped an apex wall spinning to a halt so im gifted 2nd spot,as i settled down a bit i noticed that on some bits i could gain time,but always the final 2 or 3 turns Greg pulled it all back again (grrr..)...then very late on another massive cloud of smoke at T1 with him just recovering out of it with a signature "loool",from 10secs down to 1.2,this perked me up for a bit of push style for a possible grandstand finish,but any kind of pushing now resulted in very scary sideways slewing towards walls,and Greg had sorted his mentaller Belgian heed out now and quickly built some gap as i desperately tried to give more....but i had nowt more.
Grats Greg and our real live authentic resident Aussie Rhys.

Thanks Ryo & RD
