Thank you Yann... surprised to see myself in fourth to be honest!

By the way it should be after round 6, right? Since we have two rounds each race day. I know, OP's fault... :P

He asked for the UF GTR.

Anyway your best bet is to take a look at setupfield or setupgrid.

Quote from J@tko :I decided against dual class because, with 32 cars over 16, there's alot more chance you'll be battling for someone for the entire race

It's a long track and a long event, the grid will spread anyway and people will DNF. So with dual class there's a lot more chance you'll be having to deal with traffic every lap, being it for position or not.

Quote from zeugnimod :AS4 the best track in LFS? No chance against AS7, BL1R and SO6.

This man speaks the truth. Hey we could at least have some dual class again...

Quote from J@tko :2) @ De Souza - In reply to your PM, yes a bit

Don't you take too long now!

Thanks for changing the date.

I'm expecting some crashes this time. And I'm expecting to perform better than last time.

I only raced this combo once, but it's a nice one. Here's my race info if you're lost with laptimes: http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/event/866/results
Please note that on that league FXOs used weight ballast instead of intake restriction, I think actual times will be consistently lower.

Blackwood puts less stress on the tyres (almost like AS3) so, the way I see it, FXOs will dominate again with RB4s and XRTs fighting for what's left (exceptions made for aliens).

As posted in our forum:

"Pretty poor performance this time.

Practiced more than I usually do, had a setup I was completely comfortable with... And then I was only 12th with a time .3 faster than my pb. "What am I doing here", thought with myself.

First race was bad... Had two big slides wich caused my rear right tyre to overheat. My setup was kinda oversteery to save front tyres, so I couldn't cool it down untill it was already too late. Had a nice fight with Jack McIntyre and still finished 7th, for my own surprise.

So at second race I started 2nd. Passed Yann because he was in a FXO, then McIntyre passed me. Santos were putting some pressure and it worked, lost a braking point looking at the mirror and went waaaaaay down the field. Was gaining some ground when I hit a tyre that had just appeared on the chicane: major spin. Recovered a few positions back and was catching EliteAti, but he touched a tyre on the chicane who got perfectly placed in front of me: near major spin, some seconds lost. Still passed EliteAti in the end but finished in an embarassing 12th position.

Next round please, nothing to see here."

MX-3's used to be common around here 10-15 years ago, when imported cars were cheap. You can still see a few of them ocasionally, and if they last in our roads, they sure are well built.

We only got the 1,6 litre engine, and from what I heard they're good (read: ok performance with nice fuel consumption - for that time anyway). I find it pretty nice, although it has little space inside and the interior is horrible.

Quote from Kalev EST :A better video of the incident...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCr9_c4rRbU

Apparently Pepe kicks the Getafe player twice, then showes his face to the dirt and steps on him, after that punches another player, mocks the linesman and 4th referee and has to be forcibly removed by his teammates. Nice. Afaik he got a 10 game ban.

At least now we now he's good at something.

Quote from hazaky :The last ball, got some hard kicks and it blew up.

Try cutting the nails next time!

Quote from oldnavy :Actualy this thing apeared when you put another player to driver status

Let's remove all drivers then!

On a more serious note, I should try to rewrite that part in a different way to see if it helps. We'll see.

Quote from oldnavy :i dont know maybye anyone hgave said that later but in your site is bug you can see it in atached image. Its with opera

Yeah I use Opera myself and have been battling with that broken table since forever. Can't really find a way to fix it, and since I didn't see any problem with other browsers, it will stay that way for now.

Thanks for pointing it out though.

Awesome, too bad I can't watch it.

Cool.
Mine goes like this: soul-za. Add a quick D (like d'soul-za) and there you go!

(the D is not really necessary to be honest, whatever suits you best)

Quote from VoiD :[b]Thrilling commentary:..."Oh what a great manoeuvre, he passed Ranseier on the outside..."

Hahah had a great laugh as well!

Great driving, VoiD. Hope I can stay close on the other rounds as well (it's pretty hard you know, I have to drive like a madman to be even remotely on the same pace as you guys with screwed tyres).

Hmm, I like Westhill. It flows quite nicely with the XRT. Also my only win in league races was in this combo at the extinct GTTC (well, troy timed out).

I don't expect to win again as there are more fast drivers this time, but I do expect another good result.

Just watched it and it was nice actually. The cameras were a bit dodgy and a few other mistakes but nice anyway.

Maybe you can ask the drivers how their name is pronounced? Some names are very tough but most of them are easy to learn. Can't really be a bad thing.

Boring?

Passed two cars in the last lap of the sprint race. Passed one car in the last lap of the main race. Other than that, it was very tough and I had to attack and defend all the time. Not good for the tyres, but I guess I was consistent enough to get two top5 finishes while I was clearly slower than most on flying laps.

Pretty nice races.

According to the server, tomorrow we'll race with the FOX at Blackwood. Not a bad idea if you ask me...

Hmm so there was an incident in the test race too? I wasn't there. Well I'd say things can only get better after that.

Don't mean to sound rude, but you already made your point mate. We all saw what happened, let the admins do their job now.

I watched the replay and there were accidents all over the field, won't be easy for the admins to come up with a decent decision. I'd be surprised if they didn't tought.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :everybody recovered as they could, so I think that nobody on the back was 100% sure of his position.

Indeed. Specially at the chicane I was like "wth there are cars all over the place, what should I do?". As people stormed through the madness, you just go. Haven't seem the replay yet but I don't have a clue if I was even close to my original position when "green flag" was shouted.

He's probably drunk enough to have lost his phone and don't remember the way home.

Seriously now, hope he's just drunk really.

Just want to apologize to car #08 for the contact on T2 at around 1:16:15, saw you lost a lot of time. I thought you had already passed me before the corner, but you had not. Sorry again.
