@Kenny Paton Can't promise mate,But I'll try to be there 90% sure I can,Love those Radicals

,Not too familiar with RRE's Portimao though

Lars Hansen · Oct 18, 2015

Well, here's what happened to me.
A delightful chap called Kevin Lanecki........

Second time I've seen him do this (first being the Brands Hatch race).
Not sure if you can black-list users in R3E, but if not......
Next time he comes around, either he gets kicked immediately or I'm leaving.
I'm simply not racing with this guy.

@Lars Hansen @Phil Davies We could have a word before the race starts and make sure he knows that it is not acceptable behavior and if all else we can aye put a password on the BU server.
However since I'm normally the slowest I could take him out and it wouldn't impact the race.

That's bad I not going to heaven now, see what online racing does to a person.

Phil Davies · Oct 18, 2015

I don't know how you guys feel,But,I'd rather have some good clean fun racing with a small grid including Lars,rather than have a full grid with a wrecker in our midst and no Lars.He's our mate

Keith Joyce · Oct 18, 2015

Having to fend off the stock car racers isn't helping me learn to race competitively

Kenny Paton · Oct 18, 2015

To be fair in comparison to many open servers we have had very few issues. Fingers crossed thst continues.

Lars Hansen · Oct 19, 2015

Well, first of all, nobody is taking anybody out.

Not that I don't appreciate the gesture, but upping the ante isn't going to cure the idiots, but it might give the server a bad name.
And as Kenny stated, we have had comparatively few incidents.

Having said that, I'm with Phil on this one.
I'd rather have a smaller grid than open servers (not to mention that I prefer races with me in them as well

).
It's not so much the wreckers, since they seem to be unavoidable. Even iRacing has them, meaning some lunatic is paying a membership fee to be able to wreck others, which is....
Well, it's something at any rate.

But I digress; the reason I'd prefer smaller grids isn't the wreckers, it's that I'd rather race against people I know. I can't speak for anyone else, but a large part of it for me is the banter, both here and in TS.
If all I wanted was an online race, there are plenty of servers out there.
On the other hand, 2-3 guys does not a race make, that's just a bunch of guys doing laps.

So here's an idea:
Until such time a we get the RD servers up and running, we do have the forums to judge attendance by. So what if we said that if we can get 5-6 RD members into a race, we password-protect the server.
If not, we leave it open.
How does that work for you guys?

Sounds like plan if that is the wish of everybody.

Keith Joyce · Oct 19, 2015

Makes sense!

Phil Davies · Oct 19, 2015

Good rational post Lars

,Too be honest that's the first time i've seen that kind of behaviour in a rre open server,And now he's virtually famous i'd be surprised if we see that particular idiot in the BU server again.
