Bob, i don't know anything.
I haven't even scratched the surface of all the combos available, so who am i to comment ?

Quote from rc10racer :

Considering how long you have been in the lfs scene you have only touched about 20 combos other then BL1, most is 166 laps on FE3/FXO which is rubbish tbh, considering your saying lfs is all great and mighty you have hardly touched the surface of the game.

And your point is ??
The guy wrote a post saying how much he likes Lfs, that's it.
Is he in your eyes not qualified to comment because he doesn't use a greater content ?

So it was on porpoise ?

Quote from Minimaxman :

Just wondering, is Dailycious pronounced like delicious but with 'daily' instead of 'deli'?

There’s no margarine for error in that endeavour.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

Mine seems to have been lost in the post...

not

As far as i know all spdo peeps are on the list.

Quote from RasmusL :

Unless you applied you aren't (I guess).

Most didn't have to apply, they got automatically added by either us knowing them or by being in a well known team.

Thanks for the positive replies guys.
We where a bit worried that people may see it as elitist but speed
is not the essence. As long as people are considerate, clean and friendly, anyone can be added to the list.
There should be cars and combos for everyone to enjoy, not just the BF1.
Happy racing.

Top people on there, well admined and very friendly.
Nice one.
Oh, and good racing too.

Here is new one.
Now i must stress i would never post a replay regarding a matter like this here but i will make a exception this time for obvious reasons.
If it wasn't clear enough the first time, this replay (lap 10)
should clear things up.
Funny how he never posted this one and still no sorry or admission of fault.
It seems they might have different rules of racing in Bulgaria but since we are not there he will have to adapt his style to conform with us I'm afraid.

Hehe, its all good. We are cool.
Wanted to join the race but then a guest turned up. Grrr

Quote from XCNuse :

It's just here to show you who's fault it is in any case of whoever it is

Yes stuff like this happens all the time, that is why there are threads like this to get down to the nitty gritty of what went wrong to prevent it from happening next time!

These things will always happen in racing and a discussion and replay of it will never prevent it. Its part of racing.
It may however clear the rules of racing a little and as Fram says could be a good thing if well managed.
The best way to deal with it is to be civil with each other and not to go running to third patries for judgment and support.
Deal with it there and then, make up, and have another race with a calmer head. SORTED

XCNuse, this is getting ridiculous now. You are talking like a Smart car driving, Evian drinking lawyer about a road traffic incident on a busy street in real life.
We are talking about a simple virtual racing incident that happens when people fight for position.
I have raced Ring a few times before and i knew he is a quality racer
who races hard and i think tries to be as fair as you or me.
I am not by nature a aggressive racer and always try to give plenty room
and the first to say sorry if i made a mistake.
However, there are times when i believe its OK to race hard or a little more aggressive: when i find my opponents to be so, or when i think we can both handle the race craft required to avoid accidents and have alot of fun.
In this case i believed it was a bit of both but maybe i was wrong.

But then you come along, all knowing, in a respectable position, about to get the chalk out to mark positions on the track, tape measure, camera and notebook and turn it into a potentially fatal real life road accident investigation and ready for a big American style lawsuit.
Just let it be.
The guy is always welcome to race on our servers and I'm always happy to race him in future. Next time i see him online, will say sorry for my bold move to him and he might even say sorry to me about clipping me (but he doesn't have to) and we'll all be happy bunnies i hope.

Quote from XCNuse :

.... if he kept his line, he wouldn't have hit Ring, end of story, there is no getting past that one, Ring kept his line, Patrese closed in on him and clipped his rear end on Ring period end of story... that's what happened...

Anyone who lives in a reality like him wont get through to me.

Yes !

right ok, well done.
now you should know 110m is enough.
sorry to have offended you.
over and out.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Slightly OT, but how can we tell that you looked left, i believe you when you say you did, but i just don't see the drivers heads turn, not just this replay, i mean in any replay, including one i made myself where i deliberately looked around constantly for the whole race, yet my drivers head never moved when i watched the replay back again.

I can. Have you tried chase view though rear window?

It makes a difference because you think you know where to brake when you don't.
Simple.
I also don't know what you are talking about "direction change".
I'm beginning to think you are watching the wrong lap.
Just look at the bloody steering wheel and tell me about "direction change".
If you are talkings about the tiny steering input to the left to get a better angle (after i cleared Ring) and call that direction change, then we live on a different planet.
I see the lovely American flag next to your name, but something makes me think you are Bulgarian.

Quote from STF :

Patrese... no offence but get off your high horse.

I'm not the one who was complaining about the incident and I haven't bothered to respond untill a person with a influental position passed judgment on a event that he clearly isn't qualified to pass judgement on.
If you care to look at the replay again, you will find i looked left twice, the second time knowing it was clear for me to go back on the racing line.
I had FULLY (1/2m) overtaken by that time and therefore had every right to be where i was.
And yes, i still would have made it round the corner unlike XCNuse who may have got his brakes set differently or whatever.
I don't even care if i was right or wrong, but what does bother me are backseat drivers who think they know better but haven't produced
any evidence of that.
I mean, would you listen to someones advice about where or where not to brake who is nearly 3 seconds slower than you?

Quote from XCNuse :

I would much rather be pulling half second slower lap times than ruin an entire race!

3 sec in your case, yet you still seem to think you can comment on braking points.

XCNuse (must make sure the name is right)
unbelievable, i cut in on someone?
i was ahead, so i can take the racing line.
if this was on the way to work, on a normal road, then yes, you would have a point.

thats the fasted you managed?
how dare you comment on my braking point!
i'm not saying im a expert on this combo, but you really aren't qualified to comment.
the reason i argue with you is that i dont think you know what you are talking about but being a moderator will give people the idea that your view carries weight.

I wasn't going to reply to this nonsense but Xnurse's comment about braking too late got my goat up.
I braked at 110m, plenty early to make the turn.
When did you last race the XRG ?
Besides, the simple fact i got hit from behind clears the matter and no need to further analize.
Xnurse, congratulations, you qualify as a marshall for F1, you will fit well in.

i'd happily pay £50 for just one F1 track aslong as it isnt Monaco.
No need for more cars.

this thread reminds me of my drive from england to austria with my kids.
after 5 mins on the road the first started: "are we nearly there yet?"
and then it carried on for the next 18 hrs.... are we nearly there yet,
are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet, are we nearly there yet ????????

is there a connection between posting alot of shite and not actually racing alot ?
some very regular posters spring to mind.....
