Personally I don't think drivers should do anything you wouldn't see on a normal racetrack. This is supposed to be a racing simulator, not an arcade game. So doughnuts are fine, but ramming, in my opinion, is not. The other day I had a great race with a guy over the last couple of laps, seemed quite sporting, he made a last corner error and I made it to the line ahead by a car's length - as soon as I lift off, not even a chance to press Shift-P, he's rammed me into the barrier. Charming.

As quoted in a previous post, its part of the culture to let out some steam after a completed race...

You've been "LFS'd"

Quote from SamH :

Sorry Pete but nope, it's not happening. There are very good reasons why you have to race hard and long to reach Silver licence and TBO class racing in the CTRA. Those reasons are as solid today as they ever were.

Cool! I'll keep cracking on. Thanks

Hi CTRA/All,

Recently, I've been working on my CTRA Licence in the 'Race 1' server. It took me ages to get rewarded the bronze licence. I was wondering if you would be able to let the Bronze licenced drivers to get into the 'Race 2' server?

After doing some homework, it seems that i have a lot of work to do to get my next licence upgrade (silver) which will then allow me to jump straight into 'race 3'. That will skip the 'Race 2' server all together.

I understand that this may cause a lot of work but i think it seems reasonable.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks
Pete

I've just added this app.
I might be being a bit dumb, but I can't see the app? What's it under?

on your facebook profile page it should be under the tab called boxes i think

Quote from Eclipse :

What about when you are hit hard into a barrier (usually the red/white ones that launch you) and you take the wrong route?
You go to rejoin and the race is full, race restarts and you have to sit it out. It happens quite a bit.

You should have used Shift-P a lil bit quicker...

Don't mean to sound harsh but i always do it now and re-join straight after, sit in the pits and watch everyone else by using the Tab key!

Perfect solution

Quote from Storm_Cloud :

Sunday mornings - who is busy at 9am on a Sunday? Get out of bed and race!

That's the spirit

Quote from tenmantaylor :

Can we change the race to sunday evenings next season?.

This gets the thumbs up with me too, even tho i didn't join in much the season just gone i am more able to race on Sundays

sounds like i was lucky to only last 6 turns, even tho i had no way of avoiding the spinning cars infront of me maybe next season i could get a team together and race FTW whoop whoop

Quote from Davidos93 :

Because P3TE only completed the first split, before getting schmuzzled (poor guy) this occured.

1 [VIP] P.Hopkins peterules 0:30.09 0:00.00 -0:30.09

For Best Possible Lap, as he only completed one sector XD

I lol'd

lol! It was all going well until that point - It was a total blind corner and everything seemed to happen in 1/4 of a second. Someone had a spin and i was knocked 60 feet in the air... I tried to brake but it was toooooooooo late! I lost a few places on the straight, then gave it a wide line to give some space them KaBoooM! :uglyhamme

Sorry for that!

Great race tho well done guys!

Quote from eimer_ :

you can also just join the race after the countdown, so you start from the back and test & warmup without causing trouble.

After The first split of the second lap! hehe

Quote from Becky Rose :

Precisely my point. Infact it ought not too as the removal thing is a /spectate rather than /pit and the sensitivity of the timer is designed to allow you to wait before rejoining, after a race the timer need not be so long and /spectate would be the wrong action to take.

Ahh got ya! I'm such a dope!

Quote from Becky Rose :

I still see an advantage to /pit drivers after the race if they stop on circuit though - it would assist in keeping the circuit clear for those testing. At the moment if you want to test between races or find your right setup or something you have to pick your way very carefully through the first two corners which at some shorter tracks like South City Chicane results in effectively a "practice the easy last corner" affair.

If the cars are pitted after 5-10 seconds stationary when on ctra or ss servers the circuit will be much cleaner (ie, not BnJ as there are a few ramifications).

It requires the same amount of administration as now as no new ruling is introduced, in the place of rules a culture of clearing the track is simply encouraged by the automated mechanism that it just happens anyway. After a while drivers will expect to just pull over safely and be returned to their pitbox, and probably wonder why this doesnt happen on other servers...

Strange that! - i'm pretty sure after a completed race the autopit thingy doesn't teleport u back after an amount of stationary time... or have i completly lost the plot? it wouldn't be the first time

Quote from SamH :

The more I think on it, the more I think it doesn't need thinking on, tbh. If you don't want your wheel to shake, hit the pits or just hit escape.

Totally agree - took a while to work that out, but it is the best solution

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Tbh I'd still prefer to shift-p & esc to get in the paddock. It's not so much the numpties crashing around, usually there's a safe place to park w/e at. It's the constant revving and noise that annoys me more, and the pits is a bit more quiet in that respect.

Getting back to the point, maybe if we pitted and just sat in the garage that could be a non-wrecking zone... Plently of time i've tried to go out for a practice run between a race and got caught by a martian trying to create a crop circle lol

Quote from Mille Sabords :

Just press the ESC key... it disables FFB
No need to spectate or pit this way

Oh yeah i didnt think of that! alternatively SHIFT-O if you wanna do it the long way round
