This is pretty unecessary. The rule with the yellow line that time and the rule was within reason you can cross it but in that case it was not within reason. My team m8 ran out of fuel on the start finish straight and landed short of the finish line so does that mean i can give him points too? Rules are rules and i am sure me and X-Ter will go through the rules for next season and make them more clear. This is the first season of DTM so yes there is going to be teething problems but for the mean time these rules are what we go by.

ITEK Got another 2 new members....Well know to the lfs scene we welcome Psymonhilly and Powerslave to the team...

Another thing to try is try useing Opera....Thats what i used when i finaly got signed up.

Quote from BlueSkunk :

hi,

i'd like to vote to give burnout his 2 points for finishing 7th place.

i know he shift+s-pitted in 33rd lap (i think) but if he hadn't 2 cars would have crashed really badly into him. i know what's written in the rules about telepitting but i think this case should receive extra attention:

1. he is overtaking pickard and lsdwolf by 1 point in the overall ranking list, but those 2 guys haven't been racing the last 4/6 races. i assume they have been dropped from the list already since then. therefore burnout dosn't interfere with anyones position anyway.
2. i see his action as very fair and sportsmanslike, giving up his "right" to finish to save 2 other drivers
3. he made a true effort by still finishing his race, compared to those who decided to just disconnect when things didn't run as smoothly as expected. that's what i call good racing spirit.

all this considered i think this special case should be reconsidered.

what do you think?

Problem is with that if you do it with 1 driver then you have to do it with them all.....In one of the early races one of my team m8s crashed on one of the Fern Bay track in the DTM and there was a few drivers behind him and to stop a big crash he also hit shift-s and god knows how many more it happend too. So if you give him points then you will have to give everyone else them as well.

Hey....I was just wondering if there is going to be a new spectator at all to be used with the MoE? I heard something about it last season but that was the last. Is it possable to get a spectator were you can actually watch the race in real time instead of useing lfs spectator? I just thought i would ask since i have not heard much more about this in a while.

Hi Keith, the stills are taken from an animated scene which I posted here before. http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=122186#post122186
The test I did which the ride of the car was very bumpy, I have already chosen a frame where the car is nearst to the ground but obviously not low enough hehe..

I know you can do some amazing stuff m8 with 3ds max why dont you shows these guys what you made of :P And stop them cars flying please hehe

The finish of this DTM is going to be so close man....2 fast tracks left to do and 2 great track so i think we are in for a great final 2 tracks with good close racing..

When does unlucky come into it Misko? I was faster than he was and he was blocking me from catching you and you were in 1st place. He was not fighting for a place at the point and he was holding me up that means he has to move over on a blue flag and to be under a blue flag for at least 4 laps is a bit mad. The blue flag rule does not take effect if the driver in front is faster than what i am there for being able to try and unlap himself but that was not the case he was not faster.

I was not talking about agresive driving I was talking about Thomas not moving over on a blue flag for at least 4 laps thats all.....I never said about any punishment m8 i was just not happy with him not moving out of the way under a blue flag for so long.....I know in real life this would not go down to well. Its over and done with now and i have no hard feeling about it but i just wanted to state what he done thats all.. Cant wait untill next race.

Hi sam...I think you need to lower the car so its sitting on the ground because im pretty sure the FZR does not fly unless you hit something hard.

Well i guess you aint racing in the 24 hour race in the MoE then dave lol....I am up for what ever hours you throw at us Scoop. Bring it on

Quote from Scoop :

B11TME i'm sorry about that, i think the driver of 1ST thought the blue flags were from the GT1 cars coming to lap, it is a new style of racing and i was expecting such incidents but drivers will learn

Thats ok i accept the apology but in at least 4 laps its hard to mistake if its a GT1 car behind him or not because it would easly of overtaken him in 4 laps lol. I really like the idea of the event but i really hope its not 1 set of rules for us and another set for 1st Racing because it sorta looked that way in that race but because its a new event i will say no more.

Since my last post was ignored i will post what my problem was again Ok, i think ITEK did a great job in both the GT1 and GT2 but unfortunately a GT2 driver had problems and was not able to take over from me so we had to get a driver to step in his place but this cost us alot as i had made my last pit stop and we were also leading the race but after i came out of pits about 3 laps later i had to pit again to let another driver take over or we would of been disqualified from the race and this cost us so much time and i recon it mebe cost us the race...But i seen something else when i was racing and that was in the GT1 car of ITEK we got a blue flag and this really got to me as i was in the GT2 car and was in 2nd place to Cyber at the time and in between me and misko was 1st racing who i was comming around to lap and they did not make any effort to move what so ever and after beeping and flashing my lights he still did not let me past. Now this went on for at least 4 laps and he was under a blue flag for at least 4 laps yet nothing was said. In the end i had to catch his draft down the start finish straight to get past him which i should not of had to do after so many laps.

ITEK GT1 and GT2 are in

Would there be a penalty given if some one was under a blue flag for 5 laps and not moving out of the way?

I had the same problem chaps....The way i fixed it was do not enter in all the details like msn icq etc...I found in my one that were is asked you for you messenger email like hotmail then it would not work....So try it without them and it should work. Hope this helps

I would like to know the penaulty that we were given because our 2nd driver did not turn up. I dont think any should be given tbh since it got me about 40 secs because i had to pit 4 laps after i already made a pit and i was fueled to the end and this prob cost us the race.

Guess im leading the champs now Last few races is going to be very tough indeed..

Great work cropsy looks good...

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

I would like to claim Worst Luck award, I joined to take Bandits place with no practice at all i just fueled it to the end and crossed my fingers. First lap SCCC decided to forget how to use the steering (i saw 2 off wide at the chicane) i then got suspension damage in the resulting accident. Then i had to pit on lap 1 and make repairs that cost 10 seconds ontop of my usual stop time of...nothing

Then it was 58 laps pushing hard as i could, and i got up into 3rd thanks to dadges little roll. Last lap turn 1 i locked my front left a tiny amount and my tire let go, i tried holding off bob but couldn't stop the car in the next turn, got out of the gravel then tried to limp back for 5th place but then my other tire let go and i was stuck in the gravel 3 turns from the finish...then 'ATC Quicksilver did not finish.'

That is unlucky

Great race i though...very clean and was alot of decent drivers on the 2nd server. I was real pleased with 2nd place in quali with a 1.15.12 and a new pb and all i done was change something with the set on the last 5 min of quali. Start of the race was great and me and cropsy had a great battle but i just laid off because last thing we wanted was to hit each other and take us both out. I had to really lay off the pace because of tyres and last night in training i got 2 flats and cost me badly and i was not going to repeat that in todays race. I am also very pleased for my team for getting good results as its the firs time we have had multiple team members in a event so good job team Thanks for hosting a great event.

I'm gonna be going for a 4 stop strategy now, by running through the pits lots i can probably save my tyres enough to last a whole 60, I think i'm on to a winner with this one!
