Quote from hariel-HUN- :I am sorry, but because I'm not an englishman, I don't really understand these words, like "wicked" I hope you understood what I was trying to say (and hopefully i wrote what i was trying to say). So, I think this feature could be used in TBO class, because GTR's have their own restrictions, and for the insim, it would be hard to understand, what is going on, and this feature would be rubbish for single seaters. I mean, put extra weight for an F1 car?

Wicked is slang for 'cool' or 'fun' =) The FJR had an intake restriction and it was great fun.

Quote from Dru :there are 4 of your lots signed up already - i guess someone has to stay at home and watch the baby/hold the fort

Quote from SamH :There's value in that consideration.. it could be an entirely different situation once you have people in there who are paying customers rather than freebied beta testers.

I've lost count of the number of sly shunts I've dealt with on CTRA servers. Most wreckers you deal with aren't hanging out at pit exits waiting for leaders to come through.. they're midfield, and they're sly. They systematically brake late, punt people off on approach to corners and steal their positions, or deliberately lean on other drivers around corners, all the way up the field. Some of them can take a while to find, because they're trying not to BE found.. but you have to have a system where they can be exposed and disposed of, and I'm not, yet, at all convinced that any automated system could do it.

I agree But then I would for some strange reason.

I heard that if your are involved in an incident your rating goes down, it doesn't matter who was at fault. But thats rumor because I am not willing to fork out my hard earned cash to try the game out myself.

Quote from hariel-HUN- :Yes, this really sounds good for the future btw, I don't think this can work on single seaters. Weight added to an F3000 or an F1 car? This could be a good feature (i think) only for touring cars.

Donno, the FJR's are wicked fun.

Quote from ajp71 :From what I understand there is no way to race with the Legends car and as you see the system is cleverly designed, using your free credit to buy cars and tracks you don't want without an option to race a proper single seater or sports racing car without paying extra.

Sounds like to me they are trying to imitate the level of elitism found in real racing. Which is exactly the reason why I am playing games in the first place...

Quote from RMachucaA :Marcos fault.

Ray couldnt go any lower, he went so low as to stay away from marco whos squeezing him down, he got 2 wheels on the apron, resulting in what we saw.

Regardless, its a racing incident.



When he hit the apron this is where the car started to become upset, not before.

It's racing, but he should have had more room.

Quote from DarinSRT :Well put Nolan.. but you didn't have to kiss any butt here.. It's our pleasure and honor to have your work on our show.. The combo of our voice work with your production and editing makes for some great segments .. some of my favorite to date fwiw..

In regards to the "US accent"..post.. Whatever..lol.. you understand what we're saying don't you ?? We also really had no control over how we were taught to pronounce words.. did you ?? Maybe we needed more brit teachers here to teach us the right way

1/2 the words they say over here are the muddled versions anyways and people in the USA are usually pronouncing the 'english' properly

There wasn't enough room there, Marco should have given more room, you couldn't fit a car in that area and not have an accident because once you touch that line your going for a ride.

Quote from Mattesa :CTRA Race 1 does seem to be the most popular server of all time.
Anyway, I'm not disagreeing. I dislike iRacing's pricing scheme as well. It's the principle behind it all.

Apparently though if you don't like the way the pricing is your a fanboy though of LFS. I still can't work that one out. I refuse to pay 12x more than I will ever have to pay for something roughly similar and has similar objectives No diggs intended, think we have had enough of those over the previous 46 pages.

Quote from Dorkman :Thanks for the suggestions thus far guys. I really appreciate it!

And when I say 'Sportsman'...I dont think we are thinking the same thing Christoper. The cars in the 'Sportsman' class around here are tube chassied vehicles. I guess similar to what the U.S. ranks would call 'Late Models' only less power. Fully tweakable and te like.

http://speedway.brandnewkickz.com/?page_id=6

Those are the rules, the class he runs in is the 'Martin's Home Heating Sportsman' division.

Ahh, yeah we call them limited late models =) sportsmen vehicles are older vehicles with factoryish power and no suspension changes.

Well a 'sportsman' shouldn't really have much of anything to adjust, just be there if something breaks =)

You mean you want to know what an A-arm is? Or tie rod end? Differential?

www.howstuffworks.com may help with some of those.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :It's gonna be neon, glow in the dark, translucent, fluorescent, hypervescent, uber-virgin Dot 21. And it's going to go on a Peugot 106

LOL With a big rear F1 wing and wide body kit? Don't forget you go faster with a stock engine and lots of stickers, especially NOZ!!!1111!! ones.

Quote from dougie-lampkin :See-through brake lines then?

That would work, as long as the brake fluid is glow in the dark =)

Kinda these you place on the wheel and at certain revolution rates the lights will make a picture

Quote from dougie-lampkin :Bob, I'm disappointed in you...where's the neon pads and the NAWZ Dot 21 brake fluid? I thought you were committed to this idea

LOL forgot the neon lights that make a picture when spinning too =)

Quote from Bob Smith :Yeah. He's an artists impression of these brakes working flat out.

I suggest Mk2 version of the brakes should allow for easy-over cooking.

LOL will the Mk2 have orange/blue/white in it? Don't forget the flames when the fluid pushes past the seals on the piston =) Thats my favorite part

Quote from flymike91 :Spider TLR is a good all around gun. Probably along the same lines as the tippmann but comes close to your budget including a CO2 tank, barrel plug and cleaning kit. I bought an American (brand name) barrel that really boosted the accuracy. I'll say that spyders are more easily and inexpensively modded. Electronic trigger frames, triggers, feed tubes, barrels, dropforwards, regulators, low pressure chambers, velocity adjusters are all easy to come by. It is very popular because it adapts to the player. A new player will enjoy it stock but it can be modded into a serious competition gun.

Last I looked into it the spyders were just hitting the market, they sound like a good marker.

I would suggest getting a used marker first and go a season on that personally, I know I started playing but only ended up playing for a season. You playing rec ball or speed ball?

RO is awesome, I loved it. For people into FPS you have to try it. It's very different than CSS, but not as tactical as Ghost Recon.

Quote from AndroidXP :With that amount of practice, CTRA should open an BDSM club.

Hehe, good thing I don't know what that is

I was waiting for it to hit 25k. Usually end up with about 30-50 new drivers a day joining the servers.
