I'm shocked the the accusations of drug abuse flying about

Even if i did use certain mind altering substances, I'm most definately NOT a wrecker because of it!

being under the influence is not (in any way) a good excuse for driving like a twat.

try it one day (when you're old enough for a licence) with a copper. "It wasn't my fault occifer, i'm too f-cked up to drive straight"


They just keep on diggin! :-) lol, gotta love the kiddies

Please tell us, it might actually help if we could work out WTF is going on inside a wrecker's head. (joke withheld)

I enjoy a good crash, but i'll still go out of my way to avoid them if i'm gonna effect somebody elses race.

quite often there is a bit of fun contact with a few of the guys i regularly race with and know well, I never do it during a race, but we'll often have a lap or two of full contact racing, it's fun.

the only thing most of us hate wreckers for is simply because they are ignorant of other people's right to a clean, close race, they just wanna have fun in the quickest way possible.

try banger racing if you want to crash, nobody will get upset with you for ruining a race, and you'll have a huge amount of fun. (we might even start to respect you, if you respect others)

Quote from DanISTheMan :no offence, but i really couldnt care less. even if i can race with AI drivers on my own server, im content. not that i have to, like i say, there are pelnty of other servers where i can get ma race on.

you still race the AI, i didn't think anybody was a slow as them

the kiddies are amusing at times, especially when they get upset

[humor]

please dont ban me, im only a wrecker sometimes

Is the word F'cktard offensive to people of you're type then? or am i just being ignorant?

[/humor]


if you wanna make the best of it, start racing for you're kicks, it takes a while to get to a decent level (we all know wreckers can't drive) but worth it for the respect you'll gain from people you race with. you certainly ain't gonna get any respect from any of us ATM


I'm signing up my server!

BTW it might be a cool idea to have an identifying symbol in the server name or welcome message, showing it part of the network.

1 a week might be a bit much for me, but i'm sure to have a go every now and then. i love any race more than an hour long so this sounds like fun

It's north then, cool.

a new challenge for me, can we have at least 3 weeks practice?

i'm starting to like the hairpins already, and the esses are addictive once you get going.

Suspention frequencies are simply a guage of stiffness/weight,

a 1500kg car will have to have spring (wheel) rates of twice that of a 750kg car to attain the same frequency.

the same thing can be expected with the front/rear stiffness/weight balance

it's just a way of saying comparitively how stiff a corner/end is

compulsory pitstops are there for adding a little strategy into the game, it's only really any use with anything over 10-15 laps, and only then when R2s are used.

I don't like using them when it's only a short 10-15 lapper, simply because there are too many people out there who'll take advantage of something that would be seriously frowned upon IRL, most real series have a pit window to stop things like this happening.

we should have windowed pitting

or mybee the pit doesn't count until you cross the first sector marker

LL pitting is wrong and anybody who does it are cheating fecktards.

no aids! simple. I always prefer to keep things as real as possible. it's more about satisfaction than outright speed, and it's more natural this way.

Sorry if i offended you with that one, but thats not quite what i meant.

It would obviously be a problem to have 20+drivers all competing for the same league, but in 2 seperate races (in case of over subscription), ny idea was to split it down the middle, but like you say, it's not easy or nice to decide who goes in which server.

I did just have another thought: it's a crazy one but it might just work!

A rolling league, simply count the results for the last 5 races only, and declare a new 'top dog' at the end of each race. that way there's no worries about having to sign-up for the league etc. it's all about being consistent (at least , for 5 races at a time) and it could all be as casual as before (a very important point), i'm sure it would work out nicely if the servers are split into fast/slow or something, but that brings up the above issue.

it would be nice to see a good, friendly (very important) enduro league going, and it's not something that has to ruin the character of the races, but something like the rolling league system would be a much more casual way of running things and allows everybody a chance to win it, and enjoy doing so.

But i suppose it could all be seperate, but that's a shitload more work for franky

I'm pretty sure one of my major weakspots is with my pedaling style, and i'm pretty sure most of you are at an advantage, with full control over all axis.

sometimes I need my left for the clutch so i need to find a nice balance between left and right foot braking, i'm working on clutchless downshifts ATM, but it's tough to avoid lockups if you miss a gear. might have to heel and toe with both feet

but it's all just gonna cause issues with vains problem, i don't want my feet arguing about who's boss in my footwell

I don't really know either of them to any real degree, never raced there.

But hell yes, i'm racing!

One of my reasons for racing these GPs is that its a great way to really learn some tracks!

yeah, i don't use my shifter for evrything, sequential for racecars and H gate for roadcars (LX ) i've found it IS worth a bit of time but not really anything to worry about, I prefer the challenge of using real-world controls, no aids, just skills

can't drive without a clutch now (well maybee not BF1) my left foot 'lives' over the clutch and only comes in for the occasional dab of brake. I get a really twitchy foot if it's not got it's own pedal to play with!

just looked at the stats.

Is it true that i'm the only Manual clutch driver to finish (in either server?) it seems that most of the DNFs are manual clutchers.

It could just be showing they extra wear and tear the clutch can make on it's driver.

Or it could just be a bug, any ideas?

if you ain't racing you shouldn't be voting!

especially demo racers

doesn't have to be complicated (but it probably will be)

It would be nice to just a have a list of dates/combos and a league table for drivers

still keep it fairly casual (thats why i like ATC GPs) but count points for the races, at the end of the season declare the points champion

you could have bonus points for the 3 highest climbers, qualifying, - points for pit-lane penalties. etc to balance it out better for non aliens

maybee even split it with pro/am leagues and races seperate so the split server issue doesn't become a problem

Might be fun to wheel my UFR out for this one, although it might be a little faster with the XFR, the min' looks cooler!
