Jack - as per TeamSpeak, don't worry too much about it.

It takes a while to even be comfortable enough to allow someone past safely. In the greater scheme of some of the antics I saw last night, your holding your line was the least of the indiscretions, and definitely preferable to swerving about unpredictably in undue haste to let people past.

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

As an old member of our teaching staff use to say to our principle at our staff meetings" Point of Clarification". Apparently I was texted after the second race to quit racing when lapped. I was not aware of this policy. I was under the impression that this was club racing, for fun, and you should finish your race. If being passed, to hold your true racing course so the passing driver would not be surprised by unexpected moves. It is stated some where on this site ( rules section?) that all skills levels are welcome. If I am incorrect then I aplogize and I will leave because I do not want to frustrate divers.

I looked at the rules and think it might be a bit misleading:

9. Do not alter your line or braking for a faster car behind you. Unpredictable moves have a way of ending the race for both of you. Let the faster car dictate when and where to initiate a pass, and only then you are free to assist by easing off the throttle.

Isn't this for a faster car, but on the same lap?

Maybe there should be separate rules, one for a faster car behind you one the same lap, and one for being lapped?

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I know what you're saying, but the basic theory should remain the same in either case.

Move aside to let the faster car pass, but only when safe and predictable to do so.

To all drivers :-

6. If you accidentally leave the track for what ever reason you must wait till there is a clear safe gap before rejoining the track. Upon rejoining the track get up to speed as quickly as possible without blocking the racing line.

After some of the incidents I saw last night, Rule 6 is just as, if not more, relevant. Salient words in bold.

just a little question. everytime I stay little bit longer after the race and the session gets restarted my replay of the race is gone.
sometimes I can't remember everything (specially which driver I had an incident with and so on "I know I'm young but my brian is old ").

is there a way to prevent gtl from overwritting the replays ?

BTW. @carlos hope I don't break my ankles otherwise I can't race either (using pedals) but every thursday you will see me on the track

manuael here is a link to a post mase by steven about saving the replay:http://www.racedepartment.com/previ...0-monza-rouen-tuesday-april-6th-2010-a-5.html

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Make sure you have this line set to 1 in your .PLR file in the [GAME OPTIONS] section

Replays Dated="1" // Replays have date in filename

That way, you'll not overwrite your race replay with one about 10secs long after the race

In the plr file Manuel

What about if you sprain your neck, can you race with a neck brace?

Just messing with you Manny, I wouldn't want you to break a finger nail, unless of course breaking a finger nail would cause you to be home on Tuesdays lol!
