Quote from need :

He couldn't believe he'd been so stupid as to totally misjudge how much time he had to get across the track and away from the racing line before the next cars came through.

Well there's nothing to judge really. Look at the map.. Are there cars coming? Then wait.

Simple as that.

He did apologize though. But I'd like to see some kind of warning or penalty for this. It was irresponsible and disrespectful. Like a slap in the wrist, you know.

For a first time with a wheel I guess I was ok. Spun in the pace lap but with the wrecking later on that lap I didn't lose any positions.

Then at some point there was a car PARKED on that fast corner after the first split. Didn't save the replay so I'm waiting for the official one to see who it was. Am I allowed to file a report after the race?

Near the 1h mark my inputs froze and there was nothing I could do. Sorry for spectating but it was too dangerous.

For the test race.

Updated lineup.

Team Name: Sim Racing Society
Number: 10
Car: FZR
Drivers:
de Souza, E. de Souza, BRA
Mp3 Astra, M. Passingham, GBR

Nice read, fantastic adventure. I'm very happy for you, Tim... And happy to see you back after such a long time.

Those pictures are incredible by the way.

Please be patient. Passo is at uni, I have my work and studies, Tim just got back.

We're pretty short on time, but we'd like to get this going (emphasis on "we'd like"). At this moment all I can say is that we don't know when it'll happen.

Any news, we'll post here.

Both.

I don't think so.

I play on my laptop (Turion 2,1GHz, HD3200) and it stays near 60fps most of the time even at 1440x900. Obviously I have to turn down the details a fair bit.

Play around with the graphics settings, with a 5200+ you shouldn't be having problems. Well at least not at 1280x720.

Quote from Fuse5 :

or will you do it alone, Michael?

No way, he'd park the car in the pits again!

It means that if more than 4 different drivers drive the same car, you'll get some kind of penalty.

Bebum...

My point was: the 8800GTs probably aren't faulty.

At work right now so I can't research...

...but a little googling will tell you that all(?) G84 and G86 cores have issues. The 8800GT is the G92 core, wich I think is a die shrink from one of those, so nVidia should have fixed it by then. No?

Whoa I'm featured in this thread. And it isn't because of my excuses!

@andRo.

One thing I forgot to say earlier when I quoted you: just remember that the place you live being in summer time doesn't mean the rest of the world is.

Heck, we are/were on winter down here.

The event time must consider this. It should be doable for the most people everywhere, and we found that 19:00UTC is quite alright. So sorry if you can't 1 hour later.


@Passo: that's what I'm talking about.

What part of "UTC/GMT Offset" you didn't understand?

Quote from n-murray :

How am I being thick, omg, I just proved that GMT is not UTC untill after 25th of October and you all start slaging me just cause you know I'm right and your wrong

You proved that Dublin is currently on a timezone that is one hour ahead of UTC/GMT.

Quote from andRo. :

Shouldn't it be at 18:00UTC? Since it's summer timezone now? Otherwise usually I had to race at 21:00, and now it would be 22:00 for me. Not sure if I will be able to make it. Or am I mistaking something and UTC is GMT +1?

It's always been 19:00 UTC.

Quote from danowat :

Yup, 5pm tomorrow is good with me

Better hurry then... I'll go with a 1:51.37.

Enjoy the ride.

Yay! Brazil 4-2 Chile. A great match. Well played by Chile, it's good to win when that happens.
And now why the hell Robinho is doing in that team? The guy barely walks. Nilmar on the other hand was in great shape with a hat-trick. Stupid coach.

Oh, and how could I forget... Congratulations for Paraguay, they're on the World Cup as well after the 1-0 win against Argentina.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

So Argentina out eh.. Man, who let Maradona to be a coach, no hard feelings, he was a brilliant player, but i wouldn't let him watch my dog (if i had one), let alone to coach a footbal team

Hehe not really out, they're still in 4th. To be honest I'd be very surprised if they lose their place, as they're 2 points ahead of Colombia and Equador. And three matches to go yet. You're right about Maradona though.

Good luck to Serbia.

Quote from BlueFlame :

can't wait to see Messi and Maxi Rodrigez ownin shiz up!

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

I'm going to be backing Argentina

Better luck in 2014. :wave2:

Hehe, well... Argentina needs to win if they don't want to see their place in the next world cup compromised.

And I still think that this brazilian team is hardly our best. I don't agree on almost any player, and once again we'll have to rely on our keeper and pray for Kaká and Luis Fabiano to be on a good night.

Whoever wins I hope we have a good show. Always enjoyed their football as well.

And good luck to Scotland and County.

America's (and possibly world's?) greatest football match is coming in two days.

That's Argentina vs. Brazil.
