sign me up scotty

After taking a few minutes to cool off and watching you all race for a few laps, it is time for my event report.

Qualy 1:

Got two decent hotlaps in, the second of which was a mid 1:52, which put me in 8th overall and 2nd in class. Was pretty pleased with this.

Warmup:

Added loads of fuel and went out for a couple of laps. Was in the 1:53's from the get go. Not the best race pace, I admit, but still, I was happy with the way things were going.

Reset:

To allow a fellow racer with system issues to rejoin, the server was reset.

Qualy 2:

Qualy didn't go so well for me this time around with loads of traffic on the track. Did not manage to a single clean lap in. Ended the session with a mid 1:55, way off pace, all the way down in 12th overall.

Race:

I joined the grid right away and went to alt+tab out to pause iTunes, which I had playing in the background. For some reason I hit ESC instead and my race was over before it had even begun. It makes me mad just thinking about it. Hours and hours getting ready for this event, all for nothing.

Any ways, I'll be watching from the sidelines, wishing you all the best of luck and loads of fun.

Also would like to thank Eric for all the hard work he put into setting this event up. Looking forward to the next one.

I'm unfortunately out due to annoying lag causing housemates. I always have my ping open in a window and it was going ok until lap 15 when it pretty much went to full on ping timeouts. Everyone else seemed to be moving fine so I decided to pit to check if I really was lagging. Then Rhys says in chat that I am so I decide to quit there. I guess the culprit is using something involving a lot of upload bandwidth as I wouldn't have had any idea if I didn't have the ping open.

Apologies if this caused any problems to anyone.... disappointed really :rain:


p.s. please don't keep chatting if you're out at the start except for important messages.. it was very distracting in the first few laps... TS is fine (what it's meant for), but in game it's a problem

 

[Nils Wijk]

Andrew, I am sorry but I cannot make it. Just got home but I have to leave again in an hour or so. Hope you guys have fun

 

[Rob Goldthorpe]

No more dropouts please :weep:

 

[Andrew Evans]

no worries nils, mate :thumb:

 

[Lee Downham]

Just got in and about to join using one of Marcel's lovely BVM skin creations ... CU in 5 :thumb:

EDIT: Skins are available here

 

[Adrian Lazarescu]

Sorry guys for exiting but my computer was annoying. Firstly the game started lagging very bad somewhere in lap 12 i think and i stopped the car until it was back to normal(by then i lost about 2 minutes). I continued the race but somewhere in lap 33 it started again and when it stopped i lost connection so i exited the race. Very sorry guys for the problems i caused due to the computer errors.
Anyway thank you all for the great race. Have fun!

 

[James Yates]

Gah, resync - stayed on the server but the cars never came back. Wish it was like iRacing where you just reconnect and carry on fine.

 

[Cristian Haba]

Lap 38 engine failure, probably I was a bit too aggressive with the down shifts but I dunno if that was it. Water and oil were both at 75 Deg and I was short shifting through out the race, real pity I was getting into a good fight with James. He had the better of me in the last sector and I had him in the first two sectors, was quite the fight. Will watch from the sidelines.

 

[Cristian Haba]

Put me down as a maybe, I got a mechanical failure in the super enduro in the C5R of all cars, that thing is bullet proof, the stupid 7L Chevy engine just seized on me braking from 270kph, can believe it. If my ass can take more sitting down I'll join u guys.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Computer even started doing the graphic problem on here! I'm gonna roll back to the 182 drivers, these 185s seem unstable.

 

[Eric. K]

Half way, it looks as we are down to 11 on the track out of 21.

Would have been 12 had i been able to reconnect in the race

Not exactly thrilled about it, was doing pretty well in the Viper CC

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Sorry guys, I made it half way but my shoulder and wrist cant take it so had to pull out.
Was real good fun while I lasted, but I think a 3+hr single stint race is too long for me.

Sorry James

Yup, they have been dropping out left in right.

Going by lap times it looks like I would have been up there with Henrik fighting for the class win and a top 5 finish to boot. Argh... next time.

 

[James Yates]

Sorry James

I probably brought it upon myself, earlier i said "wow i haven't had a resync in ages!"

 

[Eric. K]

Whoever finishes this deserves some kind of award Let me think about it!!

James and Joao are only 12seconds apart after 57laps.... IMpressive

 

[Stefan Werner]

Whoever finishes this deserves some kind of award Let me think about it!!

I think Sean Vohs deserves some props for soldiering on with that smashed up Porsche the way he is. The front on that thing is smashed beyond belief. I can't believe his front bumper is still on.

Getting close to the pit window.
