[Jamie Wilson]

Brilliant race.

Huge respect to the little pack I found myself in; Michael Hermann, Chris Noble, Dave Gardner, and several others; a showcase of very clever and above all sensible driving from all involved, especially considering the tyre situation.

I was agonising on TS for ages about whether to change my lefts or fronts; I made the wrong call - doh!

 

[Corey Theman]

That was me!



Wasn't it Willi you were fighting?

Ah yes, I knew it was one of you crazy Chevy drivers blowing my doors off

 

[Andrew Evans]

** IMPORTANT **

okies fellas... the track doesn't work online - hence your error messages... there's a potential fix, and if that works we'll return here next week... in the meantime enjoy next week right now as we visit Limerock Mountain instead... link in the top post...

apologies for the late change - unfortunately that's the risk with untested add-on tracks... eace:

server is up and running and tested... lash on!

 

[Timothy Miller]

okay, here goes my take on events...

Qualy-

Had my best qualify ever on this track. Managed to qualify 7. Was a tough field last nite, but real close. My setup was good and I managed to find a good driving line.

Race 1 -
Had a good start, managed to get up to 5th(?) and it was me Corey and Steve fighting down into turn 4. I managed to get inside of Steve and just as I was going to take the inside of 4, got a little bump from Corey (I didn't even see you coming up Corey, was a race incident). That put me into the gravel and down into the back of the field, I managed to gain back some time, but could not get past anyone. Finished somewhere in the back (again...)

Race 2 -

All I saw was that everyone was sliding and stopping, I braked hard, nailed from behind and tried to get out of the way, managed to wind up behind Steve again. Sorry Steve for that bump into T4, I braked way too late to your early brake. I managed to finish 6th. Total points for the nite (3).

All in all, Twas a good nite, thanks for the fun Yves & RD. Looking forward to the next event!

 

[Mike Lee]

Hmm, just had a blast around Macau in the Alfa. I reckon a special prize should go to anyone who finishes the race with front spoiler dam still on the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It a fun track and a testing one.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Ya I'm fairly certain that wasn't me nudging you on the first corner, I was the Seat racing on the very inside line, I was in P11 to start the race and came out of turn on in P3 I think, and don't remember any bumps?

I recommend that you check the replay.

 

[Warren Dawes]

and managed to get back up to 5th place behind Warren Dawes, who was pinging at 240 I believe. THis made it difficult to get by him cleanly

Keith, was I lagging?
I usually suffer from higher pings, due to the fact that I am in Australia and the server is in The Netherlands. I have been told that despite the higher pings, I don't show lagging in-game. The other cars around me don't normally lag, apart from some exceptions (usually noticed by others as well).

If my higher ping is seen as a problem to others, I will stay out of the events, I don't want to be a problem to others.

[Dallas Willms]

I recommend that you check the replay.

I didn't see anything on the one posted but it seemed to fly by pretty fast, do you mind posting it. If I did hit you I'm really sorry! I would have slowed down/let you by, I just remember coming out of the first corner in awe that somehow I managed to not hit anything/anyone (or so I thought...)

Sorry man!

 

[Ryan Callan]

Ah yes, I knew it was one of you crazy Chevy drivers blowing my doors off

I was driving the Vauxhall - you must not have the Crowne Plaza add-on?

It didn't seem to be Dallas who charged into you Warren, he had kept to the inside and was 3rd out of turn 1? *goes off to check replay*

I didn't notice any lag from you at any time Warren. Perhaps it was with Keith being in USA pinging to Holland and you pinging to Holland?

On the first lap incident, it WAS Dallas who hit you, but Dallas got away with it. Hitting Warren and Michael?! Tut tut!

 

[Ryan Callan]

Aaaargh. I did an hours testing today! Oh well! Lol, can't be helped.

Thanks for the quick change around Andrew

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

ehrrrmmm, i don't see any servers.
what's going on?

 

[Michael Herrmann]

woooohooooo limerock another favorite of me

 

[Michael Herrmann]

for me you had the usual lagfree 240 ms ping Warren

 

[Corey Theman]

I did not realize that we even had contact in race 1 Tim - I went back and looked at my replay and it was a really bizarre incident. It looked like there was very little if any contact, door to door at very slow speeds, and all of a sudden your car shoots off into the gravel like a bomb went off :/

I do not have that add-on, I will look into it...

Warren, your lag was hardly noticeable. It is just more difficult to pass cleanly with even a small bit of car movement due to a higher ping.

You ping is not a problem in the least, it almost wasnt worth mentioning. Id love to race with you anytime man, you are a clean solid racer.

Just wanted to clear that up

(Side note- I used to play an MMORPG that was hosted in Australia and my best ping ever was exactly what you were pinging 235)

[Ryan Callan]

i changed lefts but i wasnt in a gas guzzler

Oh, sorry Dave, didn't know you'd changed lefts. Canny call

 

[Andrew Evans]

server is temporarily down to make way for the stcc explosion that happened this evening... it'll return tomorrow...

and ryan, i have a sneaky suspiscion it wasn't time wasted :wink:

 

[Ryan Callan]

Just to get it clear - We are racing at 'Limerock Mountain' and not the shorter 'Limerock'? I presume the former, but wouldn't the short version promote closer racing? Or do we not need closer racing?! :wink:

EDIT: Also, don't forget which part of the track you are on, because the barriers aren't much help, as shown here: http://blip.tv/file/1387788
