Something to remember this race by for me. Thanks to Team Vires for great drive and to organization for flawless event once the green lights were on. And grats to everyone who ren the distance.
On contrary I love the fantasy aspect of it. There's no useless rants is this real enough or not. Only thing that needs to be real is the idea that it represents.
And you're right you haven't raced much. You probably haven't found magic so many of us have that makes driving a pleasure here, not content. Give it some time. At first I wasn't exactly 100% straight in love with the game either. But, it sort of grows to you with the time.
The only thing that I think the game so desperately needs is tracks. Yes, there are different layouts to tracks and that's great when people go hotlapping or whatever. But, when you go CG all you see is ky3, as4, ky2, odd we1/r, then again as3 or as11 and only sometimes some s1 track.
Or when you go league, they just make 6 round tour around tracks as if they couldn't figure a way to a proper 10 race season.
There is that feeling when you come to a track. The outlook of it. The flow of it. The sort of racing that is characteristic for that track. These things only slightly change with layouts and this is why we need those tracks. Devs sent out open layouts. However there is only very few of those that are frequently used. And you often can hear from people zomg hate on westhill. Honestly, that track is great. The rhytm it has is very special. But, then agian there is that lack of environment there that doesn't have that special ich about it. This just goes to show how important that aspect of being somewhere in 3d is important, simply over track layout. So, we have at the moment what we have with tracks and finally leagues are doing great job exploring some of unused layouts at last. Only if one day a number of new tracks, maybe one with Italian, other with German, third with Spanish and fourth with French environment just poped out. It would prolong life here so much more.
I know you want this so very badly, you want it right now. Nontheless, you have these 6 tracks that you have at the moment and you need to find pleasure in driving some cars rather then just swapping from one to another as if it was NFS or GT5 and you'll suddenly find a whole new world out there.
tbo champ is the design event
maybe make sure to have good turn out this season
your sign ups could be boosted
there were many memorable moments in past two seasons/years
id love to see design of tbo champ attract a good crowd again
No. It's weird man. Sure it's in rules. But, this is not the only league I and many more are doing. I'm not the only one who missed out on this. In fact in all trainings a vast majority of people were simply only using the 2wheel rule, as we ever do. There was nothing to suspect about.
It's just the golder rule that front runners have to get screwed first. When we used to have layouts like this in MoE, or any other big race/league, often admins would make a thread of it, or send a note via PM to point the significance of it. Before the session started and then everyone knew where they stand.
There are even people who missed out on obligation to save the replay of their quali lap! They probably thought it's not necessary since tracker is saving it. We also asked some questions about qualifying and noone remembered to make a mention of now important things we're talking about.
Because the situation is as such I believe some compromise could be done from administrations side. They have made changes in past with who and how they'll check, maybe they can do a similar thing again.
Subconsciously I drove to this rule. I am sorry, poles were conflicting with this rule, the rule that I always respect. There wasn't exactly wall there for drivers to stop us from using the grass area with 2wheels. There wasn't special notice about having to respect track poles rule either, that was then conflicting with 2wheels rule.
This case feels unfair and pushed forward by conflicting rules without any compassion in clarifying things with drivers.
The picture bellow shows 2wheels on track/curb at all times.
ohhh boi there was some seriously hefty bets goin-on on radio le mans about this race happenin/not happenin, the guy who lost looses senna signed merchandize iirc
Basically he would be chasing Vettel down in every race (and in most cases : he'd catch Seb) having been past whoever was in his way already after he had his ice-cream.
They made a great joke about my NDR comeback at SO City and how I was pointing the same way as I did when the incident occurred. Had a great laugh hearing that.
By if I meant they most likely will fail as all this years (Ferrari ) and yea if you can't beat them, join them.
But MBrundle said nicely it's weird this goes all public, when it all can be done outside the race weekend. This why I'm thinking it surely is also to make Ferrari pull into 7th gear.
@Alonso to RedBull news : It's probably Fernando just sending ducks Ferrari's way to make them work their lazy Italian asses off during this summer break for rest of the season. But, I guess if this things don't go well at Ferrari it might get serious. Therefor, not expecting RedBull to announce anything yet in months.
