Aw, too bad then... Well, glad you liked the idea. And if you haz admin pass and want to admin it then great! One less thing to worry about.
I don't care that much for the stream, I'm more concerned about getting drivers to join.
But if you guys want to do it, then do it.

XRG+XFG @ AS7R 1hour race on 04/10/08
Hello, I'm kind of bored today and probably the same will happen next sunday, 05/10/08 (title is wrong), so I'm posting this to see if there's people interested on a just for fun sunday race.
Cars would be XRG and XFG;
Track would be Aston North Rev (AS7R);
Start time would be 18:00 UTC;
Server would be [SR] Race Server 1 (all set up, thanks Sonicrealms!);
Event would consist in a 15min qualify followed by an 1 hour race with at least one pit stop required.
Provided we have enough people - like 10 or more - and a server, the race will happen.
Lastly, this should be a fun event. In order to achieve that, please respect your fellow racers, normal racing rules and use common sense.
Everyone is welcome, so post here if you're interested and confirm your participation if you can. In the case of lots of people come, I will use that confirmation to build a list and password the server.

Reason : updated server info
Meh, changed Alonso for Kovalainen. 
Also forgot to place bets, I can see a bad result coming...
Also forgot to place bets, I can see a bad result coming...Jesus can we cut the Hamilton/Ferrari crap? It's so bloody annoying to read the thread...
Veeery bad night for the brazilians, even if it wasn't Massa's fault. Piquet useless (he said the TEAM changed his setup before qualify, but who knows...) and Rubens so unlucky he couldn't even throw his gloves to the people lol! Ferrari screwed things as usual, looks like Mr. I-push-the-button-that-makes-that-stupid-thing-in-pit-stop-go-green will be looking for a job on Monday.
Crazy race overall, but was kind of expected. Rosberg saved the finns, Hamilton was ok-ish, Glock appeared out of nowhere in 4th (what happened to him after that accident in Germany?), Vettel solid, BMW poor, Bourdais poor. Yay for Coulthard, and very nice to see Alonso on top again! Give him a bloody good car!
Oh well, looking good for Lewis again, let's see what happens.
Edit: forgot about Webber. Is it just me or he didn't want to race?

Not really. According to this (portuguese only) he said "obviously the tyre choice didn't work as well today in Q3, where I touched the walls a few times, wich unfornately made me lose time" (I'm translating from pt so it might be slightly different than what he actually said). Looks like he screwed.
Nice lap! I think Massa wins this if his car lasts. The other cars seem too hard to drive... that and Lewis over-agressive style will probably mean to much tyre wear, but we'll see.
Should be interesting to see Alonso climbing the field too, although he already said it's impossible to overtake and everything is lost.
Thank you, that explains a lot. But then again games don't usually just crash when you're below specs...
Probably, I'm on an Athlon XP + Radeon 9200...
By the way, anyone found the system requirements?Downloaded and installed. Tried to play and it crashed twice while loading track. Uninstalled.
If you can, get a wheel. Period.
If you can't for whatever reason, playing with keyboard+mouse is not the end of the world really. If you're willing to try, check out this tips:
1) first thing you might want to try is decrease the button control rate (under options/controls). That will give you a more smooth braking/acceleration, but also increase your braking distances a bit.
2) I find more comfortable to have brake, gas and clutch on keyboard and gears on mouse buttons. Keeping a mouse button pressed for long periods of time will stress your hand much more (at least on my mouse).
3) Play around with the steer centre reduction (again under options/controls) untill you're comfortable with it. Having a higher value means the mouse moviment will be slower when the wheel is near the centre (more precision when you're going straight, ie. at high speeds). At lower values, you can turn faster but with less precision. Zero means no effects on mouse moviment speed.
4) As AndroidXP said, you'll probably need slightly different car setups to deal with the lack of brake/gas axis. So if you try a "world record" setup only to find you can't drive it, don't worry. There are much more friendly setups around. Have a look at the car setups section or ask around, I'm sure people will be happy to share theirs.
Hope this helps.
Edit: ghost racer beat me at some points.

Forgot about this...
I like it.
Sounds really fun to watch you guys live. There aren't many bands out there playing that kind of music, so keep it up.
Oh, and when you happen to cross the Atlantic, come pay us a visit down here.

I think you spoke the truth there Tim. The Lucky Dog was a good idea that just don't work in reality. I mean, we start the events with 20 people and after two rounds there are 12 people on the server. So why have a lucky dog rule if those that can benefit from it already left? And forcing people to stay in the server is a little bit too much, I believe.
<rant>
It's pretty sad to see people leaving the server because they were eliminated. It's obvious that you'll always have to spectate races, before and/or after you get eliminated. What we try to do is make it enjoyable to watch those races, wich, in my honest opinion, actually is.
I see people way off the pace get eliminated in qualify and leave immediately. I mean, why bother? You *will* be knocked out if you are slower than everyone, I'm sure people know this. And they still join the server to qualify (wich I appeciate) but leave after it. Come on, you're expected to watch, support a friend, get amazed by nice races, complain about bad races, have a good time. It's not regular racing, it's something much more emotional. If you can't smile by watching our good races, sorry but I think you're in the wrong league.
There's nothing like finish a race with a very intense battle and see the flooding messages of "WOW", even if you lost it! It's an awesome feeling that I don't get by winning a regular race (and believe me, I really enjoy regular racing). And I surely don't want to be the only one to say "wow" when I watch one of these. Maybe I have a completely different idea of what the H2H Series is, but that's how I feel: we need the spectators just as much as the racers.

Well...
I want the race to start dry, then get wet after 10 laps. I want Massa and Hamilton to spin together, so they'd have to battle their way through the field together while battling themselves. I want the track to be dry again half way to the end, so we can see people trying slicks on a not-so-dry track. I want the McLaren's Kimi back. I want Kubica and Vettel to have a battle. I want Alonso with a car capable of winning. And I want very light rain in the last 5 laps - so people have to choose if changing tyres is a good idea.

Might have something to do with the fact that most tracks today have endless tarmac run-off areas. So boring...
Oh, about the Singapore GP... looking forward to it.
Maybe a McLaren track? And Alonso said the Renault is faster than BMW now... Looks promising.I think the clubs don't have to spend much (if any) money. I've read somewhere that SF basically just borrows their names and colors - the brazilian clubs wouldn't have any change to afford a racing season.
Speaking about the races, I told ya! Pizzonia is pure fail.

It really has an effect... I remember the first H2H events, my races against Taha lol. I was so nervous I couldn't steer smoothly, and I think the same happened to him. Maybe not for those more experienced, but for me this kind of racing really made a difference when it comes to handling the pressure.Final results are up! Check post #1. Congrats to Nolan for the title, CoRe for the 1-2, Kasper for the Silver and Me for the Bronze! Also thanks everybody for participating, hope you had a good time.
Note: That table with the stats will be up in the following days (I promise lol).
Note2: In case you missed something with all those website problems and stuff, you get 15 points for being in all events, 10 for being in four events, 5 for being in three events, and that's it.

Quite the opposite, really. When he started I was amazed, I even wanted him to beat Alonso! But things changed fast, I laughed so hard when Alonso got the pole in Hungary.
There's no doubt he is very talented, but all that he is proving now is that he is a dirty, arrogant ****.

Thanks for that, sounds like an interesting band from the few songs I heard. I'm going to watch the DVD and then I get back here to write what I think.
In any case, good luck with it!
