Thanks Deko, shame you were managing the MoE. Was looking forward to your expert running of the league 
Not that the guys didn't do a bad job, They did it perfectly

Ah well, I could write a hole essay on this race. But I won't so here goes...
From practice till the qualify I felt me and Reintjan had a good chance of getting into the super pole shootout. After changing some settings on my setup the car felt great and after the practice I felt that I could get myself near the top 6.
But that wasn't so, I stuggled to find my lines in T1 and lacked the confidence in qualifying. I put in a so-so time but was very surprised with my teammates performance and very please he made it into the super pole shootout.
In the race I knew I would have to get ahead quickly to make my strategy work, I tried to keep my tyres warm in the formation lap and kept good distance to the cars infront. On the green flag I went for it starting in 2nd gear I had the engine power I would need to sprint past the lead cars.
After getting into P4 after T1 I was pleased but knew this wasn't over until I gained an advantage or the other cars had incidents. Once we were 8 laps in the car felt amazing it could only get better from here, my main consern was pushing too hard too quickly.
From the point that the first set of cars started pitting I felt it was best to leave my stop till the last moment, this way I could push like hell on the new set of R2's. I made a clean stop and got away with only 8secs between me and the car behind. The race was on again, I was hunting that fastest lap time and felt like nothing could stop me until... I got a bit caught up with a lapped car, I made the pass in T1 but he didn't leave enough room and it was a close call once I made it past.
But going into the uphill chicane of turns 4 and 5 I made a mistake the car went mad as the lapped car was about the pull back past. I gatherd the car up and shook it off, from there I still wanted to push everything out of the car and pull ahead with a large enough car I could be happy with
But to finish 1st from starting 7th i'am very please there is no doubt about that. My only wish is that my teammate didn't have engine trouble which got him stuck with a heavy battle for 4th, 5th and 6th.
Thanks again to the NDR team, I will be back for the next race and will give it my best to try and get a good possition there.
@no one - It's Pettigrew btw, But thanks all the same.

Ok, I hope this is not already known.
But after sitting in the Driver menu I saw that the LOD reduction on the cars was lowering the detail on the cars viewed in TV mode.
I have all lfs options at max and the Dynamic LOD reduction set a 0.00.
After asking others and the fact that they saw the same it seems this seems to be bug.

Ok, but I really can't see where that is placed in the rules :P
Thanks Falke
I hope the rules are what I expect
I just want to say I can't wait for friday.
But im very interested in what you had planned for the tyre issue. I've been trying to find one of you guys on ventrilo but no one seems to be around, ever.
Its very clear that R1's are not going to work for more than 3 laps *at best* and R2's seem to even struggle around this tough track. So I really do hope that you have spoken about this and found a nice medium for us
Bring on friday, good luck all.

oh ok thanks Jack, well I shall try to pop onto your ventrilo. Theres a few questions I wish to ask about this league.
Use of R1s on road courses (Will not load)
Hey, seems this page is not loading.
Would be nice to have it fixed as I need to post and ask about something.

You will proberly see a custom update/mod before EA do fook all.
I have not tried the latest in the physics updates but the 1st one I tried felt great, Ok there is still the front skipping issue. But setting up the car in a different way may help.
Gotta love those seat covers 
Two new mods for the game just in 
Tobias Kluge has released a new mod for Need for Speed Shift, getting rid of the fictional trackside objects that spoiled Shift’s tracks for many sim racers.
http://www.virtualr.net/need-f ... rack-objects-removal-mod/
The mod will enable gearbox, engine and tire damage for enhanched realism. Furthermore, sharp objects will now play a part on car impacts and tires can fall off.
http://www.virtualr.net/need-f ... hift-damage-mod-released/
Little bit shocked on the 2nd one, Im really going to have to try both these mods

ok, well I wasn't keen on trying those mods that were released a couple of days ago. But thought what the hell I can always replace the old files, although I do have to say ... Wow
Now that is some improvement on the original files from the game. The cars feel more realisic atleast, as for the blur adjustment so far i've gone with the lighter version and not turned it fully off. In my opinion I do like the small amount of blur you get and once you have all the racing info turned off it looks great.
So I went ahead a tried the evo first off and found that pretty good, still had the overall 4wd grip but had understeer moments that put me off track or into the barriers.
Since I do love my S2k I really want to give it a blast around the Nordschliefe, and first off people who have driven this car with Stage3 upgrades know how crazy this car is in the normal game. But YIKES it's like a monster now with the mod, I love the wheelspin you get all the way to 4th.
So while driving I found that the game is much better for drifting without having to be in the stupid *Drift mode* drift events. It's very much controllable without being just plain stupid, oh look the car has locked into a drift without me doing much.
Heres a video

But on Topic, can't wait to see some HD Top gear
Well im really happy about the Lan, me and my brother can now see who is better at drifting and cruise the Nordschleife together.
As for Mouse support I think its a good addition, but they could have done soo much more with this patch.
Whats your issue with PhysX? I love the graphics and have no trouble running it lol
Yeah the patch is out today, bloody hard to find *at least for me*
http://needforspeed.com/web/nfs/downloads
OMG, rofl thats brilliant.
Yeah I have to say.. I'm very happy that I bought this game.
Firstly I have had no issues with the game at all, and to all those people calling this game crap I have to say, it isn't from my point of view.
When I saw all the preview videos I thought that the motion blur was abit excessive, but thinking about it while driving around a clear track it's actually quite ok. It gives you a chance to focus on the track rather than paying attention to the dials *Not that you really need to*.
Out of all the NFS games this is now my fave, the graphics are really amazing and it seems to run really smoothly on most pc's * Myn isn't quite upto data, CPU is abit old*.
As for the sim part of the game, it is a bit yes and no. For now i've set the wheel up for 360' turning and iam using the same force settings in the logitech profiler as I would in lfs. Ok the steering is a tad slow and there is not much movement going on infront of you. With the pedals I have a mixed feeling, I think I will need more time with the game to find out the true feelings but for now they seem ok. And I will say it feels better than grid.
But my story so far, I have started with the ae86 and it does sound close to the real thing, and after thrashing it around the Nordschleife I found that the car is great fun.
Here are some pics

Ok, first I will say thanks for the NDR team for a smooth running race
Wow really my first oval event or even my first time on oval maybe since the early FM days. I didnt expect to get anywhere near the top 5, but to hit joint 1st best time with Reno I was shocked. I knew I could do near a 45.89 but Reno was much faster in practice before the quali.
To lead the grid on the a rolling start I was thinking what the hell do I do haha. I was thrown off with Deko talking in my ear of when to hit the pedal and go on the restart. Once we got going it was all ok, I think my only wish was how to pit and when to pit on the oval events. Well to be honest it wasn't so bad once we had that nasty yellow, but I was praying for one after I fell back.
But to end on that yellow rolling along in 5th was great, I felt for sure that I would be 12th on the finish line, at a bit of a cost with reintjan being taken out. But to see Sokke come in on 2nd was a great, and I think as a team we did well.
Can't wait for the next event

I do agree its a bit hard to work out what is what in Nkp, im glad lfs' garage is the way it is now
But I will also give donington a go tomorrow to find out this bottoming out stuff. Where abouts is it happening?
I'm glad that was posted and fixed, I had that nasty wall grab me and wouldnt let me go haha. But seriously my 500's rear was stuck in the air, couldnt move, thus ended my race
lolAlso for Deko. Sure I dont mind, erm everyone could PM me with their names I could run up some sort of exel sheet, simple really. It just relys on other people doing it.
As for server, our CR|Troy had one up and running a couple of days ago. And we had some good runs around Adelaide with some random people * I think may have been from lfs *.
And since half of CR have the game I think its more than likely we could have a server soon, tho im not really sure.
I was thinking maybe we should have people post and make a list so we know who is who and also get a server :P
This may be a stupid question, but I want to make sure im not the only one And im sure im not.
But with the server list I take it everyone sees the pings of the servers being about 1000+ at most times?
