For those of you that enjoy, or would like to enjoy, the Dead Men Racing team racing evening we're trying something a little different. A team race over one hour.
Format:

• Two drivers per team. Teams are chosen by our insim programme which pairs the slowest PB with the fastest PB so there is no favouritism!
  
• Three 10 minute (approx) sessions each, making a total of five pit stops
  
• Fuel will be calculated to last approximately 10 minutes (we'll do tests beforehand) and refueling will be the same amount.
  
• Venue: South City Chicane route.
  
• Car: XRT; Setup: RACE_S
  
• Ventrilo is pretty well necessary as you'll need to keep in contact with your partner.
  
• Details here:
  

Sunday 30th November.
Starting 8pm, suggest getting on the server at 7:30pm GMT
Think you could do it? It should be a great evening.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

I just don't want to pay £20 for a suck. So I need some persuasion.

This has been said many times in many forums (forii?) iRacing tracks are the best! No getting away from it. Car physics is a subjective thing. For me. slightly better than LFS and not as good as nKPro. The single thing that has put me right off is the bloody iRating/Safety Rating thing.
I DO understand the reasoning behind it, I DO understand it goes some way to keep racing clean but it iRritates the hell out of me to be penalised by putting a wheel on the grass or for having the temerity to be punted up the ass by someone that doesn't know where the footbrake is! I tried to swallow it and go along with the 'if you are crashed IRL you'd have to pay for the damage regardless of whose fault it is and this is iRacings way of making you pay' brigade but I can't. I can't put up with races timed to suit Americans. I can't put up with not being able to race against friends. So sadly, despite being daft enough to buy every goddam track and car on offer, most of which I'll never be able to race on, I gave up on it.

/draws breath.

....and relax.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

OK, I'm thinking about trying iRacing for a month or two. Anyone here think they can persuade me it's worth it?

It's like all these things, you suck it and see. I sucked it, saw it and spat it out.

Quote from zeugnimod :

I'd still like to see where I said/you got the impression that I am a "cockpit hater".

Did I quote you? Besides, what does this smiley denote? :gnasher:

Quote from The Very End :

Wow, listen on mr. awesome, the man who drives beyond the real thing!
Serious, grow up, a matter of choise does not mean I hate anything. Your attitute as disgusting, and I hope you and your mr. too serious friends would rot a nice place.

There, enough of my rant, but tired of these warmongers that belives a game is anything like the real thing, and therfor that people chose to drive with the way they want in the game makes them crappy players.

There ya go again. You've made the same post a thousand times.

Quote from The Very End :

+1

:gnasher:

And you.

Quote from zeugnimod :

:gnasher:

You are firmly on record as a cockpit hater. No need to post every time the subject comes up.

Quote from obsolum :

You make it seem like it's some sort of Nazi regime, Todd I haven't seen that many people banned so far, and only very few kicked. Sure there's rules, but in my opinion they can all be summed up as: use your common sense. This means things like intentional wrecking, driving the wrong way, being offensive to other drivers, unsportsmanlike behaviour etc... are not tolerated. Other than that there aren't really any special rules if I remember correctly. Just hop on and join the fun! No emphasis on pace, like you said. Besides, we have people of all calibers in the dMr ranks, from pretty darn fast to ... well... dMrDoorman But we're all serious about racing; we're not just mucking about. We enjoy fair racing and close battles And forced cockpit view is on

I think you just elected yourself Dead Men Racing's PR head honcho!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Geez spank, yuor speling sucks!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Nuthin rong wif his speelinf, its his graamer wot am bad

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I thought it was "Lifes a bitch, then you marry her!"

How deceived I've been.

I didn't think you could say 'bitch' on here.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

....meaning spending my next 3 paycheques on things for other person). My funds have depleted me!

Life's a bastard, then you die!

That's a 'no' then.

Sorry for the bump but was there ever an answer to this problem?

Too Spanish.

Quote from wsinda :

Yes, and we all know that gays are wife-herding, sheep-humping, drug-dealing homicidal maniacs, don't we? :rolleyes:

No, I didn't know that.

Quote from ImportFantasy :

Picture as requested.

You spoil 'em rotten.

Quote from superstix :

I already have downloaded it!!! its great, i'm just saying it helps if there are screenshots

Now you've got it, you make some screen shots. See if the time spent faffing about = the time it take to d/l

It's a layout file for god's sake!

What does it take to down load them and try them?

Quote from The Moose :

Jeez, some peoples sarcasm detectors seem to have stopped working here and at RSC.

He's going nowhere.
1.03 developement is continuing and Jaap is preparing for the next season at GPC.

Not used to seeing humour in any form from Jaap, much less sarcasm.

Here are my chicane layouts for Blackwood GP and reversed GP. They've been very popular at Dead Men Racing.

OMG! :yikes: You lot are in sooooo much trouble! Fatwahs will be flying around like nobody's business. I'm gettin' outta here. :auto:

Quote from obsolum :

...All of the DMR guys are nice chaps...

I'm not, I'm a mean S.O.B!

Quote :

As a result the racing is always clean and fair.

Thanks for the plug mate. Oh, and join us on Ventrilo as well

Quote from wien :

Quite frankly I get the feeling 1.03 is just a "get off my back" from Kunos. Finally giving the community a somewhat usable product so he can **** off and do his own thing with BRD without feeling too guilty about it. I will be hugely surprised if 1.03 is followed by regular patches in the future (though I certainly wouldn't mind being proved wrong. )

Sad to say, I have harboured those thoughts myself.
