Happy birthday NDR!

Quote from Senninha25 :

They practice regularly - the problem is that they do it without too many people around so they just practice their stints without suddenly being posed with faster cars to let through. They went racing without being prepared for that, simple as that.

Well about that. You are a big team, with lots of active drivers as it looks like, Just why don't practice like that: 10 guys go out of the track with GT1s and GT2s and start doing stints. GT1s will fight eachother and get used to the traffic. Same goes to GT2s.

Quote from Senninha25 :

Alright, since I'm the guy that is behind everything that the #72 does, I'll try to explain the purpose of the car for those wondering why the hell we race a car this slow.

This entry started when we got interest from a few new members to the team that wanted to try out endurance racing. For me it felt like a good idea - we could be able to give these new members the chance to race in a top-tier league because then we can show them that 1. Racing in a top-tier league is very different from racing in cargame.nl and 2. The feeling and experience of what an endurance race really is about. We only set one objective for this car - finish the race. Any objectives harder than that would make these guys more nervous than they already were.

The problem with this particular race was that Ray had to fill in for one of our guys in the GT1 car, and that left the #72 with no experienced driver to help Pablo, Jorge and Sigitas out during the race. The problems were 1. No experience with GTs in South City, which contributed to 2. Really nervous heads that didn't know how to react when there were faster cars around them. I think you all know where that last one led to.

Letting the #72 race here was always going to be a very risky decision, but now that I know the dangers of a 100% inexperienced lineup in a GTWS field, I'll make sure that these guys don't race without a more experienced driver again.

Well, I was nervous on my first league race too, it was GT3 BL1R. I didn't cause any problems, that's the thing. But i've putted like 800 laps there. Seeing the amount of practice, which your #72 drivers did it is as follows:

Max-Biaggi: 379 laps with fzr on so4. I see he drove also GT1, so not all of them is with gt2.

cyclone_u2: 384 laps
driverlt: 244 laps

Don't try to tell me that they did lots of single player practice. Won't work. I see that everyone said "Only once I had problem with LLM this race" Well we were 10-12 teams in GT1 with few drivers in it. Let's say 10ppl had problems with you. That's quite a lot if you ask me. I know you are trying to help newer drivers, but that's not the way how it should be done. They don't simply ask you if they can try endurance racing and you let them race. No, not in GTWS.

Grats to Dynx for the great pace they had. Grats to top 3 in both classes. Sadly my connection went to shit for 10s and that costed us p2 and lead in the champ. But more races to come, so see you there.
And btw, Mante learn to race man. 1st, when you half spun you retake positon under SC. And on the restart, that's NOT how you should let a lapping car.

Good luck to all teams, may the force be with you

Can someone give a link for the FZ interior? Thanks.

Quote from N I K I :

Are you incapable of doing the math or you want to make a fight with me so you go half insulting?

I don't really care what you think. I'm telling you whats possible time and then you come to me and start doing your philosophy things again. Do what you want, I'm fed up with your "all-time professor" attitude.

So basically you want to say that 1h-2 of practice for a 16h our race is too much? Logic lvl: Niki

I've done 42s with race fuel and r2 r3, so pls. If you are good enough you just need 50laps max on this combo to hit 41s.

FZR can do 41s easily with r2s, even aim for 40high 41lows in Qually

Quote from jasonmatthews :

My only suggestion is to not require a pain in the ass sign up/ skin editing. It takes alot of time, and is completely unessesary, especially if you don't have s stream!

So you want to tell me, that good 10-15 minutes are too much time? I can't agree here, because putting a numberplate and few other details don't require any skills in editing.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Make a wiki for your respective leagues. It just looks nice and makes competition reports, and points more visible and mirrors real life in some respects.

Nothing makes a win more special than a yellow box with a 1 in it on a wiki page! Let me assure you!

Good idea. And as James said, spdodb motivated many of us. So I think something like this would be useful.

Quote from jmeade :

If this series is aimed at Am drivers, I would like to see a rule that a gold driver can not qualify or pre-qualify.

With the way things are now, yes it is good that you are not allowed to have a gold-gold team, but the pre qualifying server will just be filled with gold drivers and the inexperienced teams will really struggle to even gain entry into an event. This will be very similar to the past GT(1/2)WS in that the really small teams, or very new drivers do not (can not) take part because they are trying to out qualify very fast drivers. This series is for newer drivers, let the new drivers earn their way into the race...don't depend on whoever has the fastest buddy.

Really good point there.

Quote from rockclan :

I might have very few photo's and some video's from the 2013 meeting if you'd like.

Video's are only 1 or 2 from inside one of the fun centre's where we was playing air hockey and driving in a crappy simulator. And a few from all the guys doing a hotlap challenge at my place, in the GT Omega Racing Pro Simulator Cockpit.

Photo's are from the podium of the first kart track, and some other random photo;s.

I would like to see the videos
