Quote from dawesdust_12 :A better question is if you guys love iRacing so much, why don't you go post there so you all can wank each other off with your love for shitty physics?

Hahaha, and you are accusing other people of being defensive. Nice one.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Again.. I find it really funny. iRental people get so defensive when you have real problems with the sim. They say you're trolling or that you're doing it wrong.

So defensive.

The anti-iRacing crew are far worse. You pollute this thread, replying to every single post just because you're completely butt-hurt over something. Talk about being defensive.

Quote from boothy :My iRating was over 4000 at the start of the season but I've lost 500 since then. Do you know what it did to which split I was put in? Bugger all.

Your last races were in the McLaren which has the best damage model out there when it comes small bumps, troll harder next time.

P/GT and GTC is a pain in the arse having an irating about 4000, and makes absolutely 0 difference. It takes 4 or 5 wins in a row to gain another 100 (depending on SOF obviously) then 1 bad race loses 150 at a time.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Well I do usually struggle with arcade physics as they bare no semblance to real life.

Your game collection must be unbelievably boring if you care that much about 100% accurate physics. Remember LFS had elastic barriers for years?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :At least I won't need to wait 6 hours between races.

Neither do I, weirdly enough. never need to wait more than 2 hours max, usually much less. Currently, I'm doing the 45 minute GTC races at odd hours, then Fixed Proto/GT races at even hours. Basically, I'm finishing a race and another one is already starting. If I wanted to, I could run the fixed trucks every hour, or the A class G6 races every 2 hours. Maximum waiting time between races is 4 hours, and that's only on series where it's very unlikely to get an official race most of the time anyway, like the L79.

It helps to know what you're talking about before you starting coming out with bullshit .

While the rest of us are having great regular racing, you can carry on running about in an LFS server yourself.

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :Yeah I heard, was it the road or oval?

Highlights of the first 2 rounds of both the oval and road DWC. The image quality was a bit dodgy, but MotorsTV doesn't exactly have the best image quality at the best of times. The broadcasters on iRacing just need to turn off the DOF effects, makes other cars look blurry.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :I hope we will see the new NFS on MotorsTV now that they're covering arcade racers.

Do you not get bored talking shite? iRacing has many flaws, but arcade racer it is not. Honestly, I've seen better trolls than you on the iRacing forum, and that's saying a lot.

Flicking through my TV this morning before I got out of bed and I spotted iRacing on MotorsTV! Pretty cool, pretty much just highlights of the DWC races. It can't be a bad thing that it's getting TV time, and it made it look really decent.

My phone got stuck doing the harlem shake, I really need to delete that tweak, keeps doing it all the time when I'm not expecting it. It's funny when it gets stuck though, doesn't fix itself until I reset the phone.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Well you have the 3 hours between iRental races for setting up a blog.

iRental is almost as tacky as Micro$oft, etc. Did you get touched on an iracing server?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :I'm sorry. I ran out of gold doubloons to pay for iRental to see your stats.

Maybe if I win the Powerball I can afford a months subscription.

That recession must really have hit you Canadians hard, < $10 lottery jackpot is a bit shit.

I really need to ask you this question, if you hate iRacing sooooo much that you say $10 a month is ridiculous expensive, why do you bother even opening this thread? Really, it's like you just really enjoy being a ****. Are you a child with no income? Do you smoke, drink, go to the cinema, go out for dinner or have any social life at all? Any of those things would cost you more than $10, and that's only 1 night.

Do you hold the same resentment for people who really enjoy FSX and spend multiple hundreds of pounds on addon aircraft and scenery? Do you constantly berate people for having any hobbies at all? All that legal BC Bud really is ****ing with your head.

Funnily enough, the appeal sided with me. Man, I really didn't see that coming.

Anyway, just done a 65 minute P/GT race, driving along nicely with a 30 second lead 60 minutes into the race when BAM! Landmine in Paddock Hill, engine was dying. It had to cut out at Dingle Dell on the last lap, leaving me to just coast to the finish line, but to lose the race win by 2 seconds. These landmines are a joke, I deliberately ran with my ride height higher because I had already hit one in practice (at a completely different bit of the track).

Quote from CSF :Did iRacing get driver swaps yet?

You mean 1 of 100 other features that games had 10 years ago? don't be mental. Next you'll be saying that tyres should perform better at operating temperature, rather than freezing cold.

Funnily enough Mustangman, my voice chat was banned indefinitely in the same incident with Andy K ages ago, even though again I didn't have a mic or headset plugged in. To be honest, I've never used a mic/headset because yanks pretty much can't understand a word I say anyway.

Boothy, exactly what I was thinking, and what I've said in my appeal. Not exactly hoping for much, seeing as it's the same clique that deal with protests. If I start ignoring you in servers, you know why . Nim actually sent me the chat transcripts, and highlighted where I replied to Josh "Nah no point protesting, Nim is worse than useless, doesn't have a clue" haha.

Fair enough, I was pissed off. But there's a difference between being slow and careful, to being 8 seconds per lap slower and weaving from side to side in a flat out corner while the leaders are trying to lap you. First comment was made at the time, then the rest is after the race once he had already left. I mean, I see worse being said every single time I'm in a race. Who knows who protested. I suspect it was you Boothy, trying to get rid of the competition haha. Bolding is Nims, not mine.

Funny thing about this incident is, Nim indefinitely banned my voice chat, so I pointed out how useless a **** he really is. My voice chat has been banned for a long time, so I've basically incriminated myself and will be getting my text chat removed also. Superspeedway races will be fun.

I'm ****ing sick of this, Nim is a useless ****.

"Verbal abuse - Description/Explanation of Protest: After the race, Derek started to call on slower drivers, calling people noobs and started blaming how the whole system works, while driving unsafely and with incidents.
It was not fair to other people who chose to have a safer race at the slower pace. He finished with 10 incidents anyway."

Was protested for this last night, what a joke. Proto/gt race round Brands, I had 10 incidents fair enough, 6 1x off tracks (par for the course for brands, less than most people had) and a single 4x at the last corner, fighting for the lead that we laughed about either.

Now obviously, some dickhead has taken offence to me mentioned that a guy was 8 seconds per lap off the pace, on a 1:11 lap, at the end of the race I mentioned this after the guy had already left the server. I was on pole, with the fastest Q time of the week, and I got caught off guard by a guy braking hard down to 3rd gear in a flat out 6th gear right hander. So I mentioned this at the end, in text chat.

What does nim do? With no evidence, and that shitty quoted paragraph up top, he removes my voice chat indefinitely. I have been patiently waiting to get my voice chat back for the last 6 months, after an incident with Andy Kitschertorete (however you spell the ****s shitty name, basically he was screaming abuse over voice chat, I leave the server and send him an abusive PM, and I get forum/PM and voice ban, and he get's **** all. Even though I deliberately didn't say a word in the server. Does this start to show how ****ed up the protest system is?) and to now get my voice chat banned indefinitely, for a single 1 sentence text chat at the end of the race, is really pissing me off. As much as I enjoy the racing, **** iRacing if that is how biased the officiating is.

Moyes is another long-term option. Him and Fergie are good pals, so Fergie will no doubt have hand picked him, and will no doubt stay on as some sort of director of football to babysit him for a year or 2.

Bit of a shock though to read that this morning, I just kinda expected him to be immortal. As much as I dislike Man U and the way they do things, Ferguson is the absolute daddy and no manager comes close to him.

Quote from Bose321 :"Released 2 days ago".

i.e. it was 'leaked' when I posted the link.

They weren't leaked, they were just a collection of images that were officially released at the time with all the different preview articles. Look familiar?

What happened to you in the last race Boothy? I had to leave straight away but I had a quick look, I thought the laggy guy dive bombed you at the time, but it looked like you saw it, went wide and the guy behind you wiped you out?

I have a problem overdriving the FGT in races, end up cooking the tyres and sliding everywhere. Too used to throwing the HPD about.

Corner before the back straight is where he did the dive. I said exactly the same thing, he had a nearly 10 second lead at the time and nearly ruined his own race instead of losing half a second.

Done my first race in the C6R today for ages, and wow. I've already done my 4 races in the HPD and sitting top in points (for now), so i fancied racing the GT. Man, every single HPD driver should have to do races in the GT cars first. Me and another C6 driver having a nice battle for the win. Leading HPD comes up, tries to stuff it down the inside from miles back, gets pissed off that I took a racing line then stuffs it down the inside on the next corner. Of course, he broke far too late, slid wide and tapped me. Then gets on the text chat with "waaahh you gave me a 4x blah blah blah". Lukas Johnson, if you're on this forum you're a prick.

I'm obviously an HPD driver, with more than a few wins and absolutely no contact with any GT cars, and man are HPD drivers wankers. All I do when I'm driving the HPD is slow down going into the corner, cut inside and overtake on the exit. Easy peasy, never any problems, and I must be doing something right. No wonder GT drivers hate HPD drivers. At least I still won the C6 race, but I'm embarrased that wankers like this Lukas give HPD drivers like me a bad name.
