Quote from logitekg25 :

that was just my theory...i like to race every once in a while too, and if my theory is wrong so be it...so drifting is only faster when the grip racer is not going all out?

I actually had a message typed up for your first comment but didn't post it. I understand where your coming from, but the benefits of drifting are far out weighted by the amount of grip racers produce, especially on the exit of the corner.

We've all had that perfect corner drift, were you pretty much just get really lucky and it's fast. It's rare, it's really inconsistent, it eats tires obviously, and creates more drag than it's really good for 95% of the time. Just wanted to respond to make sure no one is purposely drifting the car to be fast, because it doesn't work.

atleast i got my 29.78 !!

Which is Uber fast for an XRR.

Quote from Dennis93 :

weren't you bragging for 28 times before the race? did you get under 30's even?

We projected 28's at the end of the run, but thanks to Niki we had damage all race that was cost us .5 or more at the end of the stints. I appreciate the apology Niki but, this isn't the first time we've had issues on track...

BTW, the 28 we put in during qualifying was actually on lap 24 of a stint.

Quote :

It really doesn't matter if I squeezed him or not... You cannot run into someone, drive them up the track 3 lanes, into the grass, putting themselves in the perfect position for corner entry, and view that to be an "okay" move from the protest perspective.

I don't know how your reviewing this incident, or others, but you give me the impression you are looking at something that isn't a cause of the accident in the first place. First of all I didn't squeeze, he had more than 2 lanes of tarmac... Secondly, read the quote.

I still don't see what J@tko is getting at, but it doesn't really matter. Let the protest die, it's really not necessary for us to bicker about it anyways. I should have just let sleeping dogs lie, but I was a little tired and pissed off when I made the protest... It's still clearly a takeout maneuver, but it's not really important considering he didn't even finish the race.

Quote from J@tko :

However, Niki was right on the right edge of the track, and you did have plenty of room to your left. There was certainly no major sudden left turn from Niki, he turned back to nearly central after the left kink, just moving his car across to the left slightly as he was on the edge and the next corner was a right. I certainly don't think it was intentional, and you could have always moved over to the left. Your nose was already past his rear, and there was no reason why you needed to be right next to him - he would always move left coming into the corner anyway.

He was on the right hand side of the track and I drafted by him. As soon as I got side by side he pulled to the left hand side of the track. I mean, do you really think he expected me to pull hard left and go right to the curb for the entry of the next corner, the second I passed his bumper? You have to fade to the entry point, not jerk it into position like a track day rookie. It's clear enough in the broadcast, but just look from the overhead...

I don't want a ruling on the matter, but I want it to be clear that it really doesn't matter if I squeezed him or not... You cannot run into someone, drive them up the track 3 lanes, into the grass, putting themselves in the perfect position for corner entry, and view that to be an "okay" move from the protest perspective. It even gave us damage, that cost us .5 of a lap or more at the end of the stint.

Sex-a.

Quote from dekojester :

It would be a crappy looking .flv file. If you really really really really really really really want it, I can grab it and post it up.

I think VLC would play it naturally.

Pretty sure Livestream only lets you download the advertisements. One of the many ways they are trying to get people to but their product is that they don't release the .flv files for public download. At least, I can't download them...

And yes, we need this is a download-able format.

Lap AND timecode (from posted mpr after race) of incident: Lap 1
Car(s) involved: Niki and Myself.
Your brief description of the incident: Niki crashed us clear as day. I can't believe the admins didn't give him a drive through. I mean that was a clear cut case of taking someone out because he knew he wouldn't have the pace to stick with us over the long part of the run. Typically ole Niki...

I love the image overlays. Great work!

Quote from Hypothraxer :

Ho hum. I've recorded everything at 1024x768. I'll try to upscale it with AviSynth to the next near mod16 4:3 resolution. Out of curiosity: What happens when you just upload the MP4? I have a faint memory that youtube now actually plays MP4's.

I'll try it, I was just hopping we could get it in HD. I'll let you know how it goes. Ether way will be sufficient.

Quote from Hypothraxer :

As I don't have a youtube account it isn't there. If you want to host it, feel free to do so (thanks in advance ). If you need anything (like a .f4v or .flv file) please say so. I don't really know how youtube handles that (it probably converts everything, regardless what it is?), so if you need anything, please tell me.

Well Youtube recomends 1280 x 720 in .avi format. They also recommed that you compress with Xvid. That would be the best for HD youtube. Feel free to render it at 4000 KB/s or more...

I've been meaning to ask this, and I should have done this before the thread dropped so far... Do you have this posted on YouTube? If not, I can host it for you with credits in the title.

I just need it on Youtube so I can use it as an embed stream.

Quote from Myffe :

Hi!

Can someone help me? Im just learning to use Fraps. When I record, my FPS is normally 60 but when I watch AVI file with media player its really laggy and slow...I tried make test movie and turned it into windows media file with movie maker. Then it was fine...no lag and it had normal speed. So what is the solution? Its really difficult make movie when its so slow and laggy. And it also got crappy quality when editing it. I tried use Sony vegas but allways same result. I posted same message in making lfs movies thread but I didnt got any answers.

Just becuase your computer can run games 60 FPS, doesn't mean that when you record in those settings that you won't be missing frames. It's probably computer related because my computer, so start recording with less frames.

Quote from pik_d :

How nice of you to get that in just before bringing Ken on board. Maybe he'll get in your next video.

It's a good video, good editing, some good action, (as always for all three) but it didn't really seem all that inspired. The other recent good movies that come to mind (Moments Like this and the JIT Day one) were more memorable for some reason. This just seemed to be "Here are some cars with CoRe skins generally passing people or showing off". I know that's the point of the movie so maybe I'm just being silly with this.

The big difference between those two videos and this one is that they show the action in long term portions. These much shorter action shots are really more eye candy based than the "hey, check out this pass" based other two videos.

Nice pass. Whats the song name?

Am i on the right forum?

Rarely are my opinions considered accurate, this is surely a ploy to stop me posting more long posts. Im onto you both!

Rarely do I find your opinions this accurate.

You said it all Paul.

Quote from AstroBoy :

Wheres the streaming non hi-res version?

I stopped posting the non-hi-res links about 4 to 6 videos ago.

Quote from Dennis93 :

well, none of the cars will match speeds, so gg to rulemakers of this event.

Just like every other series we run in... I understand it's tough, but there is enough data laying around out there that we have to be able to get it close. Only problem is, I think it's to late to make any changes. I mean we already have 30 people with times in the pre-qualification, and there is no telling how many others are practicing on different servers.

I really think the next time NDR or MoE run an event, that they make the XRR and FXR a tad quick than the FZR. We've seen the FZR dominance for years. Next time lets see what the XRR and FXR guys can do when their at the front.

At least it's teaching me to drive the FZR which is nice.

Shows the action great and is still pretty artistic. Goes a long great with the iTCC video. They both really show some great action, which is awesome to see people make videos of.

Been watching and tutoring this guy a lot over the past few months. I'm really happy to finally make this sign to show everyone in the community that Ken has become just as mature of a driver as anyone else out there. Really happy to make this possible.

Welcome to the team.

@ nolan
i guess this is a matter of how u see it.

That's not a matter of how I see it, that's the law...

Quote from PMD9409 :

Deko had a phantom in every vent channel, so he could hear what we said in the first place.

I have no problem with him recording, they do the same in real life races, and the only reason you would complain against it is if you said something in the wrong.

That's another really good point...

Quote from karkar :

in international law it is NOT allowed to record someone if he or she does not know it.

Actually, anything we broadcast over vent, live stream, youtube, etc. is considered public domain unless it is accompanied by a copyright. I heard no copyright discloseer at the end of the race, so by law that is completely legal as long as it's not rebroadcasted... The vent messages were not rebroadcasted, thus there is no arguement here.
