Who says we need real world tracks? I think the fictional tracks are much more fun because nobody has ever seen them or raced on them. The cars, okay I agree, real cars would be great to have.

Makes you wonder if there is even forward progress, they might be having to redo the entire model from scratch with as long as it is taking them. Afraid to be the bearer of bad news maybe?
I think all everyone wants to see is a progress report on the current state of the tyre update. Is it in internal testing yet?, are we still on the optimization stage? Did you have to backtrack a lot and are back on research and design stages now? Just a few minutes time to inform everyone on the work that has been going on for years now.

www.motion-motorsports.net has been updated with race standings and race schedule.

Round 2 final results posted.

If he doesn't then take even more time out to answer these new questions, they get all agressive on his ass for not communicating, If he does answer them, then there will be even more questions and demands.

Welcome to management and business 101. Demands and questions by your consumers is an expected part of being in business. When you provide someone a product that isn't completed or is lacking things that consumers want, you must learn to adapt (rather quickly) or you find yourself losing customers and generating negative feedback. Patience wears thin especially when you leave people in the dark for years.

Still looking to add new drivers to our roster.

Also looking for 1-2 admins to help oversee the MM TBO Series.

PM me if interested.

lol, I'm obviously not saying that DeKo. I'm clearly saying that giving in to nagging won't make the nagging stop, it will make it worse. It is a generally accepted and universally applicable concept of psychology.

Do you have something to prove this? I'm pretty sure you are throwing around a personal psychology concept whereas industrial and organizational psychology is much much different.

There is a 3 week break before the next round takes place. I am going to use this time to better organize and get assistance so we don't end up with a repeat of round 2.

I encourage all registered drivers to show up and continue participation. The series cash prize is still up for grabs.

My sincerest apologies to the people who showed up for round 2.

Yes I will admit, yesterday was a disaster and failed miserably. Right as I was about to call the race off, my dog escaped from the backyard and I had to go get him so he wouldn't get picked up by animal control. I came back and found that everyone had left and was generally upset.

I would like to apologize to those who showed up yesterday. I am going to call round 2 completed and award points to those that showed up and qualified.

Quote from cargame.nl :

Interesting. Give me an example where non communication worked out good in the end.

People freaked out yesterday because they couldn't use twitter for a few hours. In an age where communication is instant, saying a few words about the progress can go a long way. It has been a year since we last heard anything about the progress of the tyre physics. Surely there has been a lot of progress in 1 years time. Are we down to optimization only? Are we close to a test patch? Are we set back 5 years time because the last 4 years of work was for nothing? These are a few things that could be answered that might help give everyone an idea as to the state of the work being done.

Qualifiying has started, race begins in 1 hour.

There will not be a livestream of today's race.

*update* I will have R1 results up today and R2 up a few hours after the race is over. sorry about the delay I have been sick.

Race is happening today, will start Qualifying at 1600 and race at 1700.

Quote from Bigbob1993 :

Good idea, but I guess, i will do it when the sun goes down... Its brutaly hot here... at least in western part of Slovakia.

It's blazing over here in the Middle of the USA. I'll wait til sundown too!

Quote from [Audi TT] :

Scawen will come and finish thread.

Mods could close this faster than Scawen if they wanted.

waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. My favorite.

Quote from jrd.racer :

Another year, another disappointment.

Quote from DeKo :

Would it take so much to leave a little post on the forum, every now and again saying "we're still here, still working"? If they get that pissed off with people asking about development, they're in the wrong game and they're dicks. Obviously that's just a bullshit made up line by idiots who think that any posts asking about development are daft.

Just like those people that say new computers are too expensive to buy, yet everyone suggests buying a g27 for lfs. g27 is just as expensive as upgrading your cpu or gpu.

newer hardware is getting cheaper every year. last years technologies are relatively cheap today, so saying you can't afford a decent cpu/gpu/whatever is not a valid excuse for having a bad computer.

Quote from N I K I :

Shit happens sometimes, but maybe you should get their numbers. It's not like you're going to spam them.

I agree and I will do that as soon as I get in touch with them. Again I am really sorry.

Next Friday it is then. Same time. Again, sorry that happened. Don't have phone numbers to contact team mates so that was not an option.

Sorry again.

Sorry about missing this mornings race. My cable modem would not power on so I had to get a new one. I have rescheduled the race for tomorrow at the same time. I hope you all can make it.
