Quote from PMD9409 :

Hit a low 2:00 last race, was going all out sliding around the tree and clipped it with my RF. Didn't do any real damage but I lost time.

Heh, need to take the Stock Car Cup to iRacing and do Latemodels on half oval, half road. Need leagues!

I'm on the list for leagues - let's see what happens

Quote from PMD9409 :

One of my new favorite combos!

PB was like a 2:00.7, and it felt so rewarding!

low 2.02's for me and I felt rewarded at that...... man, it's a handful but going sideways around the tree is a wicked feeling

If anyone has VIR and also the Late Model, get in to the 24 Heures du fun today. It's sensational!

For the best setup as a base, go to general discussion and look for the late model 24hdf thread and you'll find a set called ROAD COURSE.sto

brilliant!

Quote from anttt69 :

do the rookie series even race on daytona?

no......

Quote from atledreier :

The new split system seems to be working great, too! Last few races have been very close and there's always a battle to be had. Much less spread out field and you still have a shot for some points even if you're back a bit. I even got my first win last night, after a GREAT battle. About 8 or 9 laps of proper RACING at Laguna Seca, and none of os made any mistakes. Was SO satisfying outbraking him into T11, then getting the white flag and knowing I had an advantage. I knew after so many laps where his strengts and weaknesses were and knew where I had to be careful and where I could pull away. Won by 2,3 seconds. I was pumped for hours after the race!

I'm just pleased to keep it on the track at Laguna in the Spec Racer. I'm looking forward to the skippy there though. That'll be fun. It's hard work keeping everything together for the whole race and as you said, getting a win from a huge effort like that is very rewarding

The concrete's not been poured yet, let alone given time to set.

I think it's all mezzanine

Quote from tiagolapa :

Yep. My fear was doing mistakes in the race so I took it easy

well done mate. Especially after your first race nightmare

2nd place and clean is good!

Next week is Laguna

Well done to reach the final......

Man, those things go fast. It's a miracle you can steer the thing...

Arnold and Sons.... cracking watches!

Quote from arco :

Is iRacing support closed on weekends? I'm trying to take advantage of the 3 months offer before it expires. Tried to pay with my Visa, but it didn't seem to accept it for some reason. So I tried PayPal, but got some error message when paying. So I tried once more, and the same error came up. Now I see 2 payments that are pending and I can't cancel any of them. I sent iRacing support an email yesterday, but haven't heard anything back yet. And the 3 months offer expires today.

I'm sure they'll get back to you and see what you're trying to do... they are usually prompt in replying..... Hope to see you in the solstice races. Limerock starting tonight I'm going to make Moose look noob this week

Quote from SamH :

ROFL!

I hit the Yorkshire Dales yesterday but I was enjoying myself so much, driving on the quiet roads, that I almost completely forgot to get out and take photos

Drove past Menwith Hill and decided to chance an encounter with the MOD's military police.. no takers

holy crap.,..... is that filingdale or something?

I remember driving past that to go for weekends away as a nipper. My god!

Quote from Furiously-Fast :

No and no.

It is pretty good for a PSP game, but who needs GTPSP when GT5 is coming out around the same time?

I'f I'm on a flight to the States or China, I certainly want this!!!!

Quote from PMD9409 :

I was just saying there has 10+ tracks that have been released since last June. I wasn't putting LFS "down", even though it's so easy to do that I could understand the misunderstanding.

sorry my misunderstanding.....

Quote from PMD9409 :

The progress they have made so far, from beta, has been crazy. When I joined they didn't have a C class car for road or oval, let alone B and A. They have released twice as many tracks as LFS has in general, which is a pretty good accomplishment.

After one year, they are already working in different countries outside America, which IMO is a big plus. Having opportunities in Europe, Asia, and Australia makes me think I am going to have a small hole in my pocket.

I am also surprised with the amount the iR staff actually listens to the members. I know they don't do every little thing we ask, but they do some stuff that is really important that they members ask for. They also seem to listen to us when we request 24hr fun races (today's Trucks@Michigan).

There is so many things I am missing, I just know that I am really pleased with the service so far (racing is as clean as MoE in the top classes), and hopefully they keep at it with the content, physics, leagues, and small member requests.

Favorite combo? Psh! Lets make it combos!
- DP&Rad - Daytona and Sebring
- Rad - Road America
- Legends - Lowes Legend oval
- Legends - 75% of the road courses
- Latemodel - USA, Oxford
- Impalas+truck - Daytona
- Trucks - Vegas and Phoenix

List goes on, but I'll stop.

I don't think it's fair to compare the development to LFS especially considering iRacing gets in a lot more money and continuously...... [besides, you'll get tracks when Eric is ready. He made that quite clear].

Interesting thoughts though

Quote from PMD9409 :

2nd year member, woot!

^Not counting beta.

overall thought to year one?
favourite combo?

Quote from AlienT. :

Damned sexy, surely while they're over in the UK Knockhill could be scanned.

If they scanned Knockhill then I'd be i-wettingmypanties racing

Having Knockhill would be totally wicked!

Quote from Nick A :

EXCELLENT!
How long do you think it'll be till it's available?

they think the end of year by the time it's ready...

BEDFORD, MA (June 12, 2009) - Brands Hatch, home for many years to the British Grand Prix and today host to A1GP and many other open-wheel and touring-car series, and Oulton Park, a hill-and-dale circuit named by drivers as one of the world's most challenging, will join Silverstone as the second and third British motorsport facilities to be represented in the iRacing.com motorsport simulation service. The announcement was made jointly today by iRacing and MotorSport Vision, the owner of the two circuits.

nice tracks!!!!!

Quote from SamH :

Pocket cameras, like the Cybershots, with macro capability are brilliant. It's a characteristic of the layout of the sensor that results in such amazing depth of field, close up, with high-speed exposures. DSLRs really can't compete on that level because their advantages in other respects get in the way of their macro capabilities. I think specialised pocket-sized macro cameras are the future in that field of photography

These are the Minox's I have

http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Minox_35_ML

Cracking little camera with a little manual zoom but it does a load of stuff and fantastic lens. I have one with colour and one with black and white film in.

Quote from SamH :

Very nice Andy. What camera did you use?

It's my little Cybershot W90. Wish I still had my Nikon I do still have my two tiny Minox camera's that I love but developing the film costs a wallop these days for Black and White, which I prefer.

Such a lovely day here after all the rain we've had. Had to take a couple of pics with my crappy camera!

Quote from Highsider9 :

Yet more IR. Really starting to get a hang of it.
