Sorry if the layout is only 5 meters long.

Was a bit of a snoozer until the SC and the restart was just insane. Grats to SVG!

Can we just challenge each other in a drift competition? Or shall we have a cruise competition if that is possible?

Fixed. Jack decides to join server to make layout and then leaves...

Format For 2013 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race Elevates Need For Speed



DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 26, 2013) – Reinforcing the need for speed and going all out for the win, NASCAR announced on Tuesday the format for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race that will put added emphasis on finishing well in each of the five segments. The sport’s annual classic is set for Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. (live on SPEED) at Charlotte Motor Speedway.



The new wrinkle that should have the fans and the competitors excited: the running order at the completion of the fourth segment (Lap 80) will be repositioned based on the average finish for the first four segments directly behind the caution car prior to the opening of pit road for the mandatory four-tire pit stop. The order of the cars returning to the track will determine the starting order of the fifth segment. Running order ties will be broken by the finish of the fourth segment. This revision puts a premium on making all of the laps count leading up to the final 10-lap shootout with the race winner earning a $1 million pay day from Sprint.



“Having the average finish through the race’s first four segments determine how the cars come down pit road for the last mandatory four-tire pit stop takes the competition to an even higher level,” said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR Vice President of Competition. “The NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race is truly a showcase event for our sport and this format should bring out the best in our drivers and our teams.”



The race will continue to be run in four, 20-lap segments and one 10-lap final segment. All laps will count in segments one through four. In the fifth and final segment, only Green Flag laps will be counted. There will be optional pit stops during the break following each of the first three segments, with the field set by the pit stop/stay out positioning during the five caution laps.



“The NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race is the highlight of our season,” said Tim Considine, director of sponsorship marketing for Sprint. “These added elements help continue the tradition of this being one of the most unique and compelling races on the NASCAR Sprint Cup calendar.”



The eligibility criteria for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race remain the same:



· Drivers who have won NASCAR Sprint Cup races in the current and preceding year. If a driver leaves a team with which he has won a race, he or she remains eligible (through the last race before the all-star race), however, the team does not

· Drivers who are past NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race winners in the past 10 years

· Drivers who are past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions in the last 10 years

· The top two finishers in the Sprint Showdown, the 40-lap race that precedes the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race

· The top Sprint Fan Vote driver who finishes on the lead lap of the Showdown and whose car is in “raceable” condition as determined by the series director

The 2013 Sprint Fan Vote runs from March 20-May 18. Fans may vote by using the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application or online at NASCAR.COM. Votes cast from the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application count double.



This will be the 29th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. Five-time series champion and reigning Daytona 500 champion Jimmie Johnson won last year’s race.

They don't like when you're straight forward.

1. Opens up every simulation on my PC.
2. Looks in options
3. Finds many assists on every sim.
4. ...

They try to bring handling back into the equation by taking that stuff away, but that seems to cause the deadzone behind the leader. But they should probably try something like that, but I would also add the test of the wicker as well, just to see if that changes anything.

Yeah the car is a bit underpowered so focusing more on the exit is important. Trying to get the car to rotate on the center has been my issue. Been able to get into the 22's but just not consistently there yet. Seems I can run a mid 22 a couple times, then the rest of the time I'm struggling to run high 22's.

Anyways, happy to get 100FPS @ 2560x1600. Probably going to try turning the graphics down even more though to see if it performs better (or as some say, make me perform better).

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

I was under the impression that the reason the racing was so bad was beause of the way the front is so low and rear so high on the G6 aswell as once it started to overheat it was hard to get back down, not because of the aero?

Lifting the front off the ground would change everything, at nearly every track. Getting front end grip would be insanely difficult. Things would go back to mechanical grip > aero grip.

I'm not sure what causes the car to stall out behind the car ahead and not continuing to suck up quickly. Only thing you can do is back up away from the car ahead and then get a huge run and carry the momentum by, else you'll just be stuck behind the person ahead for a long, long time.

And yes the wicker just kicked the air up more. I'm assuming it kicked the air up more than a spoiler, else it would have been pointless. What it did was allowed the calls to actually "suck up" to the car in front of it instead of the stalling we have now.

They need to bring back the wicker on the roof.

.

It's called accordian effect, Kyle is getting pushed by Biffle as well. It all started with Kenseth and Gordon anyways.

Quote from Gougoodthing :

I am currently watching the full race back on DVR because I missed all of it except for the last 2 laps. And, ESPN were saying that "It is a hot day here in Daytona. It has been all week"

*a graphic pops up in the screen showing the current temperature* *it says that the current temp is/was 81 F*

I would like to say, that is NOT hot..... haha. Here in Australia, that is actually quite a pleasant day. Not "hot" at all....

Well, it is winter here, so that may be a warm temperature for winter.

It does get into the 100s for example quite often in the summer, but for the northerners any temperature over 70 is too hot.

Onboard Travis Pastrana for the last 25 laps.

Hope you didn't get in that mess today Scrabby.

I don't know the record for longest onboards on YouTube, but I hope I got close to it.

Also another from Travis Pastrana in today's NASCAR race, including two huge crashes.

The fence and all will be fixed easily, that isn't the issue. More about the fans involved.

Quote from Cornys :

I'm speaking of Florida other than the panhandle . Compaired to where I live the cost of living is very high (but here it is likely below average in the first place).

That's a large sum of land that you are categorizing. The cost of living can change drastically within 50 miles let alone the 500 miles that the state is long.

But I guess if you are just comparing it to another state in general it may make sense.

And good luck this weekend Scrabby. About to get busy there soon.

Awesome.
