@those who don't do any form of racing - HAHA Seriously though, if you can't afford to race a kart but you still want to drive one consider buying one and taking it to test days, its a lot cheaper than racing.

I race junior max at Wombwell atm.

EDIT: just realised you're in Ireland so you've probably never heard of Wombwell.

I managed to get my kart running for today so I went to race. I was second novice, 10th overall. I was 0.41 behind getting a trophy It was a fun day though.

@Jay - Take your time, I don't need the XFR until 24th March.

@Niall - Yeah, I think someone did. I looked at my subscribed threads and saw "300ZX headlights & taillights" started by me. I was like

I'll join for a few races before I go to bed.

EDIT: I prefer yesterday's track. Its too easy to hit people on this one.

I agree Niall.

@Jayhawk - are you working in 2048x2048? If so then the image I posted looks better when you work in 1024x1024. I would remake that original image and make it bigger but I've lost the program that made it

Thanks.

You mean the logo? I'll put that on afterwards, that doesn't take long and is probably easier than sending it to someone else to put on. That way I also have a base skin to put words on and stuff.

I could do it but I don't really have enough time ATM. The deadline for all my GCSE coursework is in 4 weeks so I'm doing that a lot of the time

I never knew we had unmovable tyres in the autocross editor.

/me goes to look.

EDIT: You can't place them at the skidpad but they're on the list at Kyoto. I guess its just a bit of testing code Scawen forgot to take out.

This was really fun last night, a break from normal racing. I seemed to hit Jakg a lot though

I had a good race with 'Shot' one time, I think he's Shotglass on the forums, our last laps were only 0.01 seconds off each other.

And, finally, I agree about the XFG, it just fits the track really well and it can take quite a beating before you have to give up and pit.

Does it beep at all? Beeps can often solve all your problems

I've got an A64 3500+, 7600GT and 1GB ram and its playable at 1440x900x32 but with no AA. Its a pretty good game. I've got an Alfa at the moment, I only started yesterday. I guess I need to try more races

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

that skin would look great on the BF1 along with the google earth sponsored F1 car!

Yeah, thanks for that really useful input.

I'll attach the skin file for the FXR so you can see what I'm looking for here.

Sorry trebor901 but we're not accepting any new members now. I'm sorry about that though. I guess if you could get a majority vote from our members I'd have to accept you. (In other words, prove why you should be in the team )

@everyone - Our slogans now are:

"Moo Racing....Got Milk?"
"Keep it Moo.ving"
"Forget ValveTronic, VTEC and Turbooooooo, MOO POWA PWNS!!!!"

@Sketchy - we started at 6pm GMT. Maybe we could move the races to weekends to try and accommodate your time zone.

@everyone - I was supposed to be karting this weekend but that doesn't look so hopeful anymore, I think my chassis is bent

Yeah, it was fun tonight and I think making this a weekly thing is a good idea. The only thing is its a bad time for our American teammates.

Ugh, I've just gone to setup my team and found out 130,000,000 is nowhere near enough. With Anthony Davidson, Liuzzi, BMW Sauber and Spyker Ferrari I end up with no money left.

I wasn't aware of this team. Oh well, Moo is just their catchphrase anyway so it won't make any difference to the team.

Personally I make my own system for team or league websites. I did start making an automated league website where the admin just typed in some information in in the admin panel, clicked 'Apply' and it appeared the respective page. I need to finish it off as I'm going to use it for the website for my demo league. You are welcome to have a look at the source code if you want, just PM me.

I recently setup Moo Racing and I have created 2 skins so far. I have attempted to start others but I gave up on them and decided I was no good at skinning so I'm asking here if anyone could help me.

I have attached the images with the black spots on. It tiles perfectly and is meant for 1024x1024 skins as it creates too many spots at 2048x2048.

The main cars I need this for at the moment are the XFR and FOX, the other cars can come later. (I have skins for the FXR and FXO)

I had a WR for about an hour once. It was just after the release of patch S but hey, it was still a WR

I'll join.

Quote from th84 :

Banshee is right, you really need to be more selective in adding new member's, which is basically what I meant by quality is much more important than quantity (and I dont mean quality racer's, but quality people overall).

We basically make people stalk us before we even consider accepting them (boosted, our most recent addition, is a exception to this rule because we/I have known him for quite sometime now). However, everything that we do now is due to mistake's we have made in the past and learned from those mistake's. But were not really concerned with being seen as a "top team" (hence the name :P), we just like to have fun. So, I guess your approach to recuriting should be based on the type of team you wish to have.

I think you will be fine Danny, just do what you feel is right. The only way you will learn from your mistake's is to make them.

I see another demo league in the future, and the winner get's, not only a s2 voucher, but a free ticket to join Moo racing!!!

"Moo Racing.... Got Milk?"

I see what you mean about getting members who can get on, not just any people who haven't even met the members but I wanted to get a small(ish) team setup and then get the team-members interacting. If any of them obviously don't fit in with everyone else it'll create tension and, I hate to say it but I will ask them to leave.

Yes, there will be another demo league in the future, maybe starting next month, I don't know, I seem to have no time at the moment. (I do really, it's just my excuse for being lazy ) I could offer the winner a place on the team but I'm not sure it some people would see it as a bad thing

Quote from banshee56 :

Danny,

Let me clear the air about a couple of things.

1) I am glad to see that you speak with your potential team members on MSN prior to letting them join. I would challenge you to be even more selective, though. Most of the guys, if not all, that have joined CoRe Racing have been friends of the team for a period of time that let us be comfortable with them before we asked them to join. Notice that? "Before WE ASKED THEM to join." That means that after we were comfortable with these drivers and had raced with them for a while, did we decide to ask them to join. In some cases, even after they were asked, we still took a vote about whether to add them. Anyway, just remember it only takes one bad apple to ruin the bushel. CoRe Racing is also not concerned about being the "best" team, but we are extremely selective of who we add. And because of that, we do have a very strong team. More importantly, they are a very good group of guys to be around.

2) Preston was not kicked and subsequently banned from LOTA servers for wrecking in the sense that you may think. He caused accidents after joining mid-race, while being lapped, and then proceeded to use vulgar language to argue and lay blame on the other driver, who was clearly not at fault. After we warned him to settle down, he was kicked for continuing his assault. He came back to argue once more, again with a fair bit more vulgar language, which I won't tolerate. He was then perma-banned. A couple of days later, I got word from the Wrecker's Barricade that he had been reported. I reviewed the replay, and proceeded to perma-ban him from the CoRe servers as well. And YES, he was wearing a Moo tag when he was banned, but no, I don't remember the exact date.

1) I see what you are saying. I basically replied to this while replying to th84's post so I look up there.

2) Causing accidents and blaming other people, even if the accident was purely an accident, is still bad. The replay on the wreckers barricade is blatant wrecking and that's the reason I kicked him off the team. Thanks for telling me about him, I think I got a PM from you about him? Anyway, I'm glad he's off the team.

And lastly, this is to both of you, thanks for the advice, I have taken it in and I will use it, in fact I'll cap the number of members now, at 8. It's a start, anyway

@SketchyRollin564 - It was Preston4321

Thanks for the concern and I see what you are saying but you are wrong with the "a post or two on a discussion forum" thing, I have spoken to them all on MSN and seen their driving on LFS. I can't keep tabs on them all the time and I'll have to accept that occasionally I will get drivers like Preston who seem all right on the surface but are/were wreckers. Preston was promptly kicked from the team when I found out he was on the wrecker's barricade. This was about an hour after he joined. I am surprised that he joined with the Moo tag and started wrecking but no team can avoid that. I assume that he had already been booted from the team at that time so he was trying to give me/us a bad name for kicking him off the team.

Of course every member of the team is liable to be booted off if I find out they have been/are a wrecker and I know that people like that would bring the reputation of the team down but I'll accept that and see where it gets me. If I end up having a one or two-man team who nobody has any respect for then I'll go about it a different way but until then I'll do it my way. If I went about it your way I would have a team all for myself for a long time, while I got to know all the members. I find it easier and more friendly if they come into the team before I start getting to know them more, it shows I trust them. Lastly, you're right, I know I need to research their history a bit more, this was something I failed to do with Preston. If I had looked up his name on the wrecker's barricade I wouldn't have let him on the team.

Oh, btw, please could you tell me when Preston came onto your server and started wrecking, I would like to know if it was while he was on the team.

And a general note to everybody reading - if you see anyone with the Moo tag wrecking then please report it to me AND the wrecker's barricade. After Preston I need to be more alert.

P.S. Thanks for the good luck

EDIT: Heh, too slow. The majority of that post was a reply to banshee56's post

There's gonna be a team gathering tomorrow evening, 6pm GMT. On Moo Racing 2. Everyone's invited, even those who aren't on the team. We will be running a mystery combo.
