Quote from Inouva :

It whould be nice if someon can host a server with that car/track combo for the entirely week to start practices with all , and make it privated and send the pws via pm

Quote from de Souza :

Note: You can already practice that combo at [DR] Train Server 2 (thanks TysCaargh and DR!)

Wow close qualify. Now I'll do 5 laps on the race and explode my car again...

And at least you know who your teammate is.

Poor zeug, nobody likes him..

Quote from ajp71 :

I hate to defend the other guy, but those laps were made on a wet->dry track.

Quote from samjh :

Any more results?

Completely forgot, sorry.

Here's the Race 2 results:

Liuzzi didn't race because his back was injured (Barrichello's fault?). Schumacher had to retire after some contact with Thiago Camilo, but seems like he wasn't in shape this time anyway.


I can't find the "championship" standings but seems like Rubens won with 36 points, ahead of Di Grassi with 35.


Edit:

Quote from samjh :

Come to think of it, I'm a little curious that there aren't any more big-name drivers. It would be nice to see more of the F1 chaps, especially the likes of Kubica, Kovalainen (who did really well in the Formula Super A), and Raikkonen.

Obviously most of the drivers will always be brazilian, but as far as I know Massa invites a lot of people out there. It's up to them (and whatever/whoever manages them) to accept it or not. Gordon said he accepted it without even thinking and was one of the most excited guys in the track, despite having little experience with karts. Kimi, on the other hand, refused.

Quote from Intrepid :

Have to give it to Massa for putting on this event...

On a sad side note, Santa Catarina (the state where this event is happening) has gone through some nasty storms the last days and there are already 110 dead, 19 disappeared and nearly 30k homeless people.

Massa already stated he will be donating some money, and will try to get the other drivers to do the same.

Yup, 1 lap shoot-out for the top 5 of each group - there was 2 groups of 13 cars on qualify, and the top 5 of each group earned the chance to try the pole-position.

Lol @ Jeff Gordon. And I don't see why Di Grassi is a surprise... But my vote goes to Luizzi as well.

Quote from nisskid :

you are lucky caller number 50 to completely miss the point. congrats.

Maybe 50 people got the point of the discussion and one missed it. Anyway, it's about what's fast in a race: drifting or not. And I told you that if you need to make sure to have a lot of variables at a certain state (no traffic, nearly 100% perfect brake points, lines, apexes all the time; few laps because of tyre wear/heat) for drifting to be faster, is that even a race?

Quote :

wow, im flattered that you went to do a a background check on me, not that it's really relavent as i can't even remember the last time i went racing. Those pb's were probably all set show drifting, hence not giving a shit about time.

Fair enough, but you completely missed the point... I was joking.

Quote from nisskid :

if you look at it though there are a few times where i lost speed because how much faster i was going than the AI, and since i was drifting it wasn't as easy to slow down without ****ing up. one of the biggest issues with drift is doing it over and over again perfectly, a lot easier to maintain a fast line holding traction, but u can so easily **** up a drift causing you a lot of speed, when you put another car in the equation it just gets more complicated. when you drift you have to know the corner and setup your car perfectly, any inconsistancies in line, speed or anything really, and it's much harder to make corrections.

Wow that's useful. So, speedrift is faster in a race where you're alone and lasts two laps... Sweet.
Judging by your online pb's you were obviously "gripping"? A bit too much perhaps?

Sorry for today's random spam. I'm done now.

Lefty, but use the mouse with my right and I'm "good" with both legs when kicking a ball. No problems shifting with right as well.

Writing is a pain sometimes, as described already, but I love my own handwriting.

Quote from Toddshooter :

I'll ask the rest of the team but I'm pretty sure you can use our server as a backup for your race if needed.
If I can I will join you for this as well sounds like fun. XRT for me please!

That's great, thanks a lot. Looking forward to share the track with you again.

I know...

Quote from J@tko :

And don't worry, if its our server I have the admin pass

It was a joke.

Sure, the only restriction I'd like to see is people driving only one car through the entire event. But you can choose wich one right before the qualify if you want.

Quote from J@tko :

Meh, love to race but I doubt I'll be at home.

I'm sure you can have the NDR server though. Maybe deko/joe can help you sort that out or something

We won't be using it then

Talked to deko and he said it's ok. By the way Jack, you can't make this one? I promise I'll send you the password.

Quote from Hypothraxer :

I'd be interested as well - in the RB4.

Hey, don't forget the tyres this time.

Haha, well... you used to be slower than Production cars, and now you seem to stay within the same second as the other Touring cars. So yeah for me that's a considerable improvement.

Quote from zeugnimod :

A 35 second gap!!

You noobs with your tyres.

Meh, my car gave up at the last laps again, or else I would be closer... Luckly this time I could finish, and thanks for the noobish tyre choices, I was able to finish second!

I'm still too far from the leaders, but at least scored points again.

Ps. Who's Dengucho? He seems to be improving a lot.

No need to go that far. I drive a '95 Fiat Tipo and it uses a single light for both indicators. It's a green light though, not amber.

Quote from J@tko :

What are your driving style things set to?

*opens batracer*

65 for pace and agression and starts, 40-50 for the rest.


Edit: wet practice and dry qualify? Let's see who's better at guessing.

This is getting sooooooooo frustrating...

Entendi. Vamos ver se fica bom agora... :P

Ahem..

What JasonJ said was correct. He wants the drivers, timings, laps, etc. overlays to be shown like in a real broadcast (a la F1) for those spectating, as it would be more realistic.

Right now it looks more like Gran Turismo, but if it's meant to simulate racing series, it should simulate the series' overlays as well. Or something like that.

Chris, I don't know if you can join a private game mid-season. Anyways the info are in the OP, give it a try.

Welcome back Rob. You might want to slow down a bit now.
