[Ant Creasy]

Don't know what happened. The game crashed for no apparent reason. Race 07 is normally rock solid. Did it happen to anyone else?

 

[Ariciuc Razvan]

Race07 isn't rock solid.. my game crashed lots of times.. during races and before them.
Sry Ant for the crash in the 1'st race.. locked-up the wheels and couldn't avoid .

 

[Tobias Olsson]

2 nice races !

 

[Zoltan Matejka]

At first:
Really sorry for Ariciuc, it was my fault, but! But 1 turn before, you did quite the same, overtake with push, but no problem, i'm sorry again.

 

[Ariciuc Razvan]

1)Overtake with contact when side by side is considerd race legal.
2) I never palnned to push or hit you so i can overtake.
3) You where having lag... 0.1-0.2s i never knew exactly where you where.
It's a club race and it's aim is to have fun, and i did.

 

[Michael van Scheppingen]

1)Overtake with contact when side by side is considered race legal.
.

With real cars yes. In sim racing you should try to avoid it since it generally ends up in tears for he who's not on the inside. Be aware of your opponents position on track and give each other some room. That will make the whole sim race experience better for everybody.

 

[Stas Grasmik]

Yes Zoltan, was much lags

 

[Zoltan Matejka]

I don't want to argue with you, because as you said: this is fun! For me as well!
As i stated, it was my fault, no question, and sorry!
I really love the fights, also with contacts, of course between the limits, so small contacts side by side are fine, and they are parts of the touring car races. Normaly nobody plan to push others (i hope), but this could be happen sometimes.
About the lag: new to me, but i'll check it.
I hope we will meet next time, without any anger, etc!

 

[Zoltan Matejka]

Yes Zoltan, was much lags

Sorry!!:oops:

 

[UMC 22]

1)Overtake with contact when side by side is considerd race legal.

Not necessarily. While it may be forgiven in some motorsports, it's a very fine line. A bit of paint swapping is always going to occur but as Michael said above you should try and avoid contact at all times. Heavy or deliberate contact is NOT allowed and you are always expected to follow RDs rules:

3. If you hit another driver during a casual club race and disadvantage him, we expect you to stop and let the other driver regain his position on you. If this costs you many places (eg first few laps) then consider this a penalty for your driving infringement. Doing this shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful.

It's a club race and it's aim is to have fun, and i did.

Please remember that they are meant to be fun for everyone. 'Casual' is not the same as 'do whatever you like'.

 

[Matt Emmens]

Sorry for not turning up but i had internet connection issues

 

[Richard Elfrink]

I had my first podium in a race here, managed to finish 3rd in race 1.
Had a little touch with Ant in the hairpin, he turned in while I was still going forward. Bit of locked brakes for me. Too be honest, I didn't feel or see I had touched him. So I'm not sure if I really deserve this podium. :oops:

Second race started okay, got through the first corner in the same position I started in.
Before the second corner Huge hit the brakes about 50 meters earlier than I was used to do. So I rammed him in the back. Sorry for that. Got a little suspension problem out of that.
Going on to lap 5 I hit the brakes too hard, lost my back end and crashed into Victor. Again, sorry for that.

All in all I had much fun this morning.
Thanks all for these races.

 

[Victor Kulagin]

Going on to lap 5 I hit the brakes too hard, lost my back end and crashed into Victor. Again, sorry for that.

It happens, Richard, and no one is saved from that.
P.S. To be honest, I was really angry after crash. But my race had been already spoiled on the 1st lap, so this collision didn't change anything for me.

 

[Marian Zelenka]

I bought STCC2 only yesterday. I'll tell you tommorow because I haven't practice it much.

 

[Ariciuc Razvan]

Please look at the replay Ross, and you'll see what it was all about.And add to that a car that teleports meteres from side to side back and forth every 0.2s.
Side by side contact was made because of lag and not because it is considered race leagal and i took advantage of it beeing legal.

I never mind beeing hit or bumped in a race as long as it is not intentional, and if i'm hit hard by mistake it's ok for me .. i consider it karma for my mistakes where i wrek drivers, but mistake is one thing, intention or "payback" for an earlier incident is another.

I have much more to learn before i can get offended by other drivers mistakes beacause i make them too and quite alot.
Anyway i wish to end this by calling it even, we both made mistakes, we both got carried away by the heat of the battle and we both are trying to improve our driving skills, bumps,hits, tension are just a part of the process.

 

[Alberto Casado]

Any setup and/or orientative times? The track is so long and with so many 1st-2nd gear corners that I might be 10 seconds off the pace without even knowing it.

 

[Hugo M Goncalves]

No sorry for that Richard,you just ruin my race!!! Just kidding...
No problem with that Richard,I went for the brakes too early on race 2 in T2 I was expecting some mess in T2 so I went for the brakes a bit early for caution,and I confess that I was with a bit of sleep too,but was fun to race with you all.
Hope to race with all again in next events...

 

[Marian Zelenka]

I use pretty much default setup. Only changed gear ratios to 2nd 2,06, 3rd 1,64 and 4th 1,40; rev limit 7500; caster 4,0 (may be placebo) and ride height and shocks don't do any change for me. My best time is 223794 so far. I'm sure I won't be the fastest. And I don't use 1st gear.

 

[Marian Zelenka]

OK, sign me up.

I've just driven couple of laps and :eek: , so much different from US muscle.

You're taking my comments the wrong way. I am not talking about anything specific that you or anyone else did during this or any other race. I am merely pointing out that RaceDepartment has it's own rules regarding contact between drivers. They do not say 'side by side contact is legal', they say that if you hit another driver and disadvantage them then you must cede the position. Mistake or not, everyone is expected to follow that rule.

The rules we have are designed to keep the racing clean, fair, and enjoyable for all. They are what makes us different from public servers where anything goes.
