E - Oh, just saw it is edited into the video above :P

Quote from Rudagar :

Unlucky last night Seb , just misjudged the braking point when you pulled alongside me? I'm loving the V8 around the Glen, such and awesome combo. So many corners you have to gradually put down the power or you'll spin. How Luke Mclean managed a 1.50.xxx I'll never know.

To make it worse I didn't even misjudge my braking point by much at all
I didn't want to do anything silly so I made sure I spotted my point and I then hit the brakes and my rears totally locked up and I got a big tank slapper on.. There was nothing I could do from there on.. I felt so awful that I took Josep out Even more so that the racing we were having before that was so good.

Just so nobody else gives me a code, I've got one

Quote from elliot1992 :

Yes this happened to me as well after the crash with cagas and Hardwick hitting me whilst i had shifted down to second gear. Hence why for a portion of the race i was racing with Fras, which in all honesty was the best aspect of my 500 which was otherwsie boring as i had no power to overtake . Thanks again Fras

Fair play, that was some epic engine rape

Anyone still got a code going spare?

Quote from SmegFirk :

I don't believe any contact was particularly meaningful however his car had a loss of power afterwards which repairing damage inside the pits did not fix.

I've just checked over the replay again, and I believe the source of the engine damage will be found at 41:00 on the replay.
Engine damage cannot be repaired in the pits, so he had it from that moment in the race all the way to the end.

Quote from anttt69 :

Well i'm the only Ant in the England club. Are you Seb of Celtic or Sebastian?

Oh a bit of news from the forum: The MX5 will be released mid/end of season 3 as will the F1. Fuji coming in 2011.
I think that will be September ish.

Sebastian of Celtic

Quote from Fras44 :

first off i apologize 2 seb 4 not congratulating him after race ...i was mad, u made contact with my car and caused irrepairable damage, i realize it was not on purpose but my race was over essentially. Thx 2 Mr Southerton 4 racing with me and my slow car. Now i would like 2 thank our race director 4 making me (i guess i am FM) feel so welcomed at ur event. I joined ur server at 10:15 am my time (approximately 5 minutes early) I came 2 the track a little nervous like every1 else but fully prepared 4 this event. If the race director can i would like him 2 release the transcripts 2 how i ( i represent all FM ) was warmly greeted and put at ease for the race . TY !!!

Sorry if I ruined you race Fras, but I really cannot recall when this contact occurred. Could you give me a timecode so I can check it out?

Quote from anttt69 :

I'll be running the V8 @ the glen for sure .

You'll have to tell me your name so I know if I'm racing with you:rolleyes:

Urghh.. Just had the worst, and the best race in the V8 so far.. Started on pole and stupidly tried to change ARBS going into T2 and came off.. dropped to 18th.. Battled my way back up to 3rd and then got taken out by a back-marker, dropped to 4th. Then with huge damage I tried desperatly to take back 3rd.. We were side by side across the line and I just missed out
It was a great race though, everyone was really clean and I enjoyed coming through the field

Quote from Rudagar :

Anyone been practicing the V8 at Watkins Glen for tomorrow onwards? It's a fantastic combo. Best it 1.53.2 with optimal 1.52.8. Just cant seem to string a good lap together. Seb, I've been reading how much you're loving the V8 , you doing Watkins Glen?

I've not done any testing there yet, but I've got the track and I can't wait to try it out (I know I can now, but I'll wait 'till tomorrow) Should I be seeing you on track?

Quote from NightShift :

I was referring to another post of yours I glanced at, where you called new drivers (from the free 1 month offer) 'retards', I can't agree with that: everyone's started as a newb after all and deserve the benefit of doubt. OTOH I think of some Pros... not by any stretch of imagination they can be regarded as newbs yet they play tricks in the lower series, you can be sure I wouldn't mind if you called those retards.

Again, you have miss-read my post. I was not referring to the 1 month free people all being retards. I was referring to a minority of people who have got the 1 month free and are treating it like public servers in LFS. Running you off the road etc on purpose. They will most likely not renew and will not care about their stats. Those people are idiots.

Quote from NightShift :

Anyway, as you pointed out it's not uncommon for misunderstandings to pop up on internet boards. I have acknowledged publicly my mistake, so let's just forget about this and start with a clean slate ...if you want?

Yes indeed

Quote from StableX :

I had a 25 lap race last night in the Mustang at Infinion Cup. Blew my engine on the last lap! Brilliant circuit and config for the Mustang. Went from 31st to 8th

Nice result
Is it easy to blow your engine in that car?

Quote from Raven88 :

Wow didn't think i lead that many laps and for sure didn't think I lead the most laps.

Paha, I can't believe I still had the second highest even though I went a lap down!

Quote from Makao :

Seb, tell me please, how do you change arb in V8 during the stint on the setup you've posted earlier.

Press F8, and then its like LFS really! You can bind your arrows the on keyboard to scroll through the settings and change the brake bias and front and rear arbs

Quote from NightShift :

If you think this topic is here so you can play the internets **** and look cool with your pals, you can go back hiding under the same rock as you have been for the past two years - that's how much I have been reading and posting in this thread without having the pleasure of skipping your <cough> valuable contributions to it.

Implying others can't drive and calling people names? save yourself some finger work: we have enough of your type posting around here already, nobody will ever notice the difference.

All I was doing was being polite and offering my ideas of how to get around driving the car. I've only raced the SRF once a while ago and didn't know if the setup was limited or not. I wasn't simply telling you to 'Learn how to drive because your shit' I was trying to say that you need to learn the feel of the car of that stage in the race.

Please, point out a few posts when I have tried to look cool in-front of my 'pals' and called you, or anyone else names. I do not make arguments on here for the fun of it. I'm very new to iRacing, and I take pride when I get good results and want to share that with people on here. Do you have a problem with that?

As for my valuable contributions you can clearly see I was trying to help you, as well as posting the two sets for the V8 further up the thread.

Quote from NightShift :

I don't know about comparisons between the SRF and V8 (don't have it and not planning to get it), but the general tone and that last smilie were pretty clear in my view. Though, if I have been too quick to jump to conclusions, I have no problem to offer my apologies to Seb66.

All I was trying to say is that the V8's tyres go off badly, and I'm guessing this was also the experience you had driving the SRF, as for the general tone, I didn't realise that sarcasm could be heard through the internet. The smily was there just to be friendly. I wasn't trying to offend you in anyway.

You've clearly stated with many facts what you think of me anyway. What good is your apology?

"English mother****er do you speak it!?"

Was there any need? stfu. He's just asking for help.

Quote from NightShift :

Anyone has an idea whether/how tyre wear is modeled in iRacing?

I had two SRF races yesterday, in the second half the car would start acting unpredictably, taking some corner where I usually have no trouble controlling the car even if it gets a tad unstable, it just goes astray and I can't bring it back for the life of me.

This could be driver fatigue, but usually in nKP it doesn't feel like this, the sim gives me plenty feedback and I adjust my driving without even thinking, so no troubles ending races. BTW I'm using the default set (which looks a bit too stiffly to me at times)

Tyre wear in the V8 is huge, after 20/32 laps I often find myself 1 - 2 seconds off what I did on lap 3/5 .. You need to make your set so that its suitable for end of race conditions.. as well as the start I don't think you can change anything on the SRF though.. So you might just have to tough it out and learn how to drive at that stage in the race

Quote :

Just looking at this thread for the past couple of weeks it's very apparent that a good number of people who've held off on trying iRacing have now finally took the plunge with the Father's Day promotion. While this is no doubt a good thing to see I hope it doesn't degrade the overall racing standard in iRacing.

Well I'm guessing all the retards that have joined recently are the people that have been given the month free from the fathers day promotion... Hopefully when It runs out and they don't renew, everything will return to its clean fashion
When I started iRacing, I did alot of solstice racing before I bought new content, and EVERY race I did was clean. Hope it changes back to that soon

Quote from Raven88 :

And sorry to Ryan, Roger, Ray, Raymond, whatever his name is.... haha sorry Randy, i'll get your name right one day.

Haha, I laughed at that

And on a more serious note, this:

Quote from Raven88 :

Again want to thank Deko and the Crew of NDR for putting on a fun event. And a fun month leading up to the race with all the mini races leading up.

Thanks guys And girl

Quote from SCA-F1 :

Now how the hell am I gonna win the LFSCART title? :|

Tehe

Quote from anttt69 :

damn you seb, lend me your setup. Your fastest lap in that race is quicker than my quali time! Nice win.
edit: looks like Caddell ate all the pies.

Cheers My fastest lap is a 19.7.. opt of a 19.4
Jason Lovett made the set I used for Qually and I modified the ride hight and roll bars to make it more race friendly.. It still seems fast enough though.. Make sure you change the arbs through the race and watch out for the qually set, because its so tail happy
I'll post the original set and the modified one.. I'm sure he wont mind me posing them

V3= Qual (although you can use this for race as well)
V4= Race

Quote from iFastLT :

I'm jealous, want to drive V8 too

Get it then
