Touring Class:
De Souza with 12 point lead. 1 point seperates 2-4

I wish. (that's my teammate). For some reason things are working again, let's see for how long. 3 podiums in the last 3 races, I hope I can keep that shape and get closer to the leaders.

@Z: did you spin on the banana I dropped?

Sounds good, I'll probably participate. Saturday would be better though.

Oh and since you're talking about the restrictions, probably the MoE ones fit better. By the way I think GT2 cars should be a bit heavier as well, but that's just me... not that I will drive them anyway.

@GreyBull [CHA]: two hours is piece of cake! Try doing a 16h event with only 2 drivers...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Personally, if someone meant an appology, they'd type it themselves, rather than hitting F1 and continuing onwards, regardless of what position that may have put you in (i.e off the track and in the barrier lol).

In my case typing anything would mean going straight ahead without any control, because of kb+mouse driving. So I don't have much choice.

Also sometimes - specially in leagues - I don't even apologize. If it was a bad crash I just wait for the guy to recover and resume his race in front of me again. Then at the end of the race or later in the forum I'll tell him I'm sorry.

In the end I think saying sorry doesn't change much. Some people just hit F1 or whatever and keep racing like nothing happened, doing the same thing later or gaining unfair advantage. I mean, why bother...

Funny, half the grid qualified with slicks under treacherous rain and spray, including Mr. Ford and Mr. Aguilar. *points and laughs*

Quote from zeugnimod :

It was never stated that it was my fault.

I know it was.

Quote from Toddshooter :

Hey M8

Just an update on the server. RSR would gladly have you on our server if you need it.
Just let us know if and when you need it and we will set you up with a password for the event.
Just don't give it to Deko he's a menace and he'll try to boss everybody around.

Hahah, awesome.

Thanks a lot mister, I think I'll have it as a backup. Since Deko and Jack said it's ok to use theirs and kindly offered it, no reason to refuse it now (we'll see about this "boss" stuff though). But yeah, if we have any problem we could use something more radical.

Patrik you wrecker!! A crash and a driver error in 3 laps, sigh...

Well at least I'm scoring points again. :|

Hmm... seems to be working fine right now.

Quote from Inouva :

It whould be nice if someon can host a server with that car/track combo for the entirely week to start practices with all , and make it privated and send the pws via pm

Quote from de Souza :

Note: You can already practice that combo at [DR] Train Server 2 (thanks TysCaargh and DR!)

Wow close qualify. Now I'll do 5 laps on the race and explode my car again...

And at least you know who your teammate is.

Poor zeug, nobody likes him..

Quote from ajp71 :

I hate to defend the other guy, but those laps were made on a wet->dry track.

Quote from samjh :

Any more results?

Completely forgot, sorry.

Here's the Race 2 results:

Liuzzi didn't race because his back was injured (Barrichello's fault?). Schumacher had to retire after some contact with Thiago Camilo, but seems like he wasn't in shape this time anyway.


I can't find the "championship" standings but seems like Rubens won with 36 points, ahead of Di Grassi with 35.


Edit:

Quote from samjh :

Come to think of it, I'm a little curious that there aren't any more big-name drivers. It would be nice to see more of the F1 chaps, especially the likes of Kubica, Kovalainen (who did really well in the Formula Super A), and Raikkonen.

Obviously most of the drivers will always be brazilian, but as far as I know Massa invites a lot of people out there. It's up to them (and whatever/whoever manages them) to accept it or not. Gordon said he accepted it without even thinking and was one of the most excited guys in the track, despite having little experience with karts. Kimi, on the other hand, refused.

Quote from Intrepid :

Have to give it to Massa for putting on this event...

On a sad side note, Santa Catarina (the state where this event is happening) has gone through some nasty storms the last days and there are already 110 dead, 19 disappeared and nearly 30k homeless people.

Massa already stated he will be donating some money, and will try to get the other drivers to do the same.

Yup, 1 lap shoot-out for the top 5 of each group - there was 2 groups of 13 cars on qualify, and the top 5 of each group earned the chance to try the pole-position.

Group 1 Results:


Group 2 Results:


Starting Grip:


Lol @ Jeff Gordon. And I don't see why Di Grassi is a surprise... But my vote goes to Luizzi as well.

Quote from nisskid :

you are lucky caller number 50 to completely miss the point. congrats.

Maybe 50 people got the point of the discussion and one missed it. Anyway, it's about what's fast in a race: drifting or not. And I told you that if you need to make sure to have a lot of variables at a certain state (no traffic, nearly 100% perfect brake points, lines, apexes all the time; few laps because of tyre wear/heat) for drifting to be faster, is that even a race?

Quote :

wow, im flattered that you went to do a a background check on me, not that it's really relavent as i can't even remember the last time i went racing. Those pb's were probably all set show drifting, hence not giving a shit about time.

Fair enough, but you completely missed the point... I was joking.

Quote from nisskid :

if you look at it though there are a few times where i lost speed because how much faster i was going than the AI, and since i was drifting it wasn't as easy to slow down without ****ing up. one of the biggest issues with drift is doing it over and over again perfectly, a lot easier to maintain a fast line holding traction, but u can so easily **** up a drift causing you a lot of speed, when you put another car in the equation it just gets more complicated. when you drift you have to know the corner and setup your car perfectly, any inconsistancies in line, speed or anything really, and it's much harder to make corrections.

Wow that's useful. So, speedrift is faster in a race where you're alone and lasts two laps... Sweet.
Judging by your online pb's you were obviously "gripping"? A bit too much perhaps?

Sorry for today's random spam. I'm done now.

Lefty, but use the mouse with my right and I'm "good" with both legs when kicking a ball. No problems shifting with right as well.

Writing is a pain sometimes, as described already, but I love my own handwriting.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Whel how about a difrent way of qualifiying wich is is like everyone can go on the track at the same time and just lap for 15 minutes

It was like that at the first season, it's just normal. Times were closer to WRs and the difference of the fast drivers to the not so fast drivers were huge, as it is in any other league. Those slower drivers didn't have a chance what so ever. Also there was the problem with traffic, tracks being somewhat short.

Now, as you only have one shot, you might want to think about pushing to get a good position/pole (and maybe ending up in the wall and out of the event) or doing an ok lap to garantee a mid/low position on the grid (but then you'll have to battle your way against the faster drivers).

Either way you'll need lots of concentration, pressure handling and smooth driving on cold tyres. Talk about extra tension.

Quote from Toddshooter :

I'll ask the rest of the team but I'm pretty sure you can use our server as a backup for your race if needed.
If I can I will join you for this as well sounds like fun. XRT for me please!

That's great, thanks a lot. Looking forward to share the track with you again.

I know...

Quote from J@tko :

And don't worry, if its our server I have the admin pass

It was a joke.

Sure, the only restriction I'd like to see is people driving only one car through the entire event. But you can choose wich one right before the qualify if you want.
