Thanks guys, i was under the impression that you could watch the archived streams just like they were live. the problem i have now is my shitty dsl connection downloading @ 25kb/s .

Could someone try to view some of these races broadcast over at PSRTV, i cant get them to work on my pc & just wanted to check that they do actually work.

Im having trouble viewing last nights race @ VIR. anyone else had any problems?

Pls dont rush to buy content, i have heard so many people say 'i wish i had bought x instead of x'. Only make purchases when you are sure you are ready & you've done your research. It also helps if you like the look of the season calender for a particular car.

If you make it to D 4.0 in oval & your feeling confident I can recommend the Silverado. Where are you in road?

Quote from brt900 :

so basically dont try to win. another question what is the best car to buy for the next oval the modified or the late model?

You can gain SR by running quali sessions also but a clean race is the best method. My only purchase on the oval side has been the truck & its friggin awesome. Got me my B licence in less than a week.

Quote from BOSCHO :

i dont want to buy the 1 month thing

If you cant be bothered to spend $5 on a months trial then you would be better off sticking with LFS/Rfactor. iRacing costs money.
Hey Wilko, i'll try to be there. I reckon the skip or spec racer would be a lot more fun tho. Jetta's tend to get boring on long tracks.

Quote from tiagolapa :

They wrote a post in forum saying about the maintenance.

Thats my point really, its not the kind of information they should expect us to hunt around the forums for. As it stops from using the software completely then it should be announced properly for everyone to see.

edit: site been down for over 3 hours now, this better be good.
edit: good point BV if they left the verification part up at least we could run some practice.

Quote from DaveWS :

Just had to make this.

i lol'd.

It would be nice if they could let us know when the sites going to be down.
Would it take much to add it to the scrolling info bar on the front page the day before it happens?
Not fair on the Aussies tbh, fri night & you cant use the most expensive software thats on your pc.

lotus @ brands, im there.

Just completed my second truck race where i ran in 2nd for most of the race. On lap 73 the rear got away from me & i just managed to save it but i lost time & ended up fourth. Quite pleased to have made it to the finish but it could have been so much better.

Gratz to Whyatt i reckon he's gona do good.

Quote from UncleBenny :

Have you not done ovals much? To me the trucks are a big step up from Rookie/Class D oval stuff.

Sure is a big step but its so much better, sobo with the legend is a nightmare. Cant believe you guys race on that in RL. I ran a 31 flat last night & looking to finish my first race tonight.
+ dodged my first wreck ! ,that was very satisfying. I let out a loud yesss! as i ducked under the mess, but it wasnt to be as my set got loose after 20 & i lost it going through the tri oval. .rpy up on ir forum

Anyone running the trucks @ Charlotte this week? I thought i'd give it a go before my sub expires, despite not being a fan of oval it really is quite good.

I feel another addiction coming on .

Ive noticed that too. Legends @ Lanier used to be a wreck fest but these last two months its been quite clean. My oval SR is actualy going up, which is a bloody miracle considering my recent road form.

A simple google search yields many choices.

If they were going for a stealthy look, why didnt they just go the whole hog & paint it in asphalt grey? Looks like a half hearted attempt @ camouflage to me.

Awesome! you must be minted.

I haven't seen this amount of epic fail since some kid decided to kick a concrete wall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23eSjQ53Kco

Qualifying round took place 15 Jan, Grrrr . Finding out about things after they've happened is so annoying.

Quote from ajp71 :

What's the actual cost to get started? There's the cost of an MSA helmet and suit (currently I've got perfectly good ones but they're out of date) and a non-race license plus what are the entry fees like?

Entry fees range from £70 up to £110
Once you have your suit, helmet & licence your good to go.
Prescott is one of my local hills & i agree with you about the MSA rule changes its crippling the sport & they dont even know it. The go racing pack for a start is silly money just for an application form.
Its even more frustrating when there is nothing wrong the equipment you already have & you are forced to purchase newer spec stuff.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Sprints and Hillclimbs are great - cheaper licence, cheaper entry fees and fewer modifications to cars (unless you want to).
The downside is that "against the clock" runs can get boring

I agree Tristan & i am in that exact same boat wanting to race but only being able to afford to sprint. Also the boredom factor of racing up the same strip of tarmac over & over can sometimes take the edge off things. The best remedy for this is a faster car & then when you have mastered that, an even faster one & so on.

Quote from Minimaxman :

I've always fancied a go at hillclimbing but like Tristan said I think after a while I'd get the urge to be racing bumper-to-bumper with 29 other cars again.

As it happens ive always fancied a go @ MR2 racing, fancy a trade? Obviously it will require a bit more financial outlay on my side. Either way you could run your MR2 @ a hillclimb no probs. Tell you what, I challenge you a shared drive.

just read about this: http://www.fastcar.co.uk/04570 ... 88285189/uk-freerace.html

At first i was thinking cool but then i learned its practically a destruction derby where they destroy almost new nissan 350/370z's around what looks like a drift course. illepall
Apparently they have a secret backer?? Yeah right it sounds as dodgy as they come, maybe the serious fraud squad should be taking a look at their finances!

edit: seems Nissan are paying them to destroy their cars! me & my suspicious mind, lol
thx for the link

wrong thread but meh

Fed up of virtual motorsport, always wanted to go racing for real?
Well look no further than Sprinting & Hillclimbing one of the cheapest forms of motorsport in the UK & abroad.

Competitors compete against the clock on a closed course. Shelsely Walsh being one of the most famous venues. With machinery ranging from classic mini's to hybrid single seaters that could out run F1 cars, there is a class for everyone.

How can i get involved? i hear you ask. Well i have the answer right here. The car i competed in last season is up for hire for an event or you could buy it off me & run the whole season. Contact me for more details.

Dont worry it was just one of those things, it involved an english man & an aussie who both must have been half asleep at the time. It was quite bizarre, i watched it back like ten times & the English guy still wouldn't admit that he did anything wrong.
