no, but i wasn´t in the lead when this happend. i just lost one place (my team-mate behind me, overtook) and finished 3rd instead of 2nd

lol, nice one

and yes, give me a sign, give me date, give it to me baby aha aha

i haven´t found a song called "turn around on the other side", so that
was the best i got

hi!

even if i know, this is NOT the right place for a vid, the movie section isn´t either, because its not what they call a "movie". its more a little trick-stunt, who shows what could happen, when CTRA servers are still off

edit: i KNOW its called "blackwood", but i can´t edit the title

...
I agree I also dont like hidden or passed servers but there is no other way to get the wreckers and crashers out. Escpecially with driving a event or somethind similar.

and why don´t you simply use a password??? i really don´t get this, sorry

wow, what a surprise

very uncommon that someone is leaving a team like [muroc] for a team like UKCT...
and its a great choice in my eyes... speed isn´t everthing

don´t get me wrong, i think [muroc] is a great team with very fair, fast
and nice drivers, as far as i have been racing them...

and gratz to becky, too. i recognised this before, but was not sure if
you have just "came back" to ukct. now i know better

lol @aldi

so far except keithano, yes we are.

atm we decided not to translate our news section and more to an english version, as the most visitors of our page are from germany as well.

but we drive in international leagues and have lots of international friends out there... so we are not that kind of a "german only" team, as you might think we are

looks great and works fine for me, thx a lot

Quote from MikeBlue :

Hello !

Sam, Do you think that you could add a counter on the CTRA web page that show us the percentage remaning before CTRAX server restart or something like that ?


Michel

nice idea

ahhh looks much better now

maybe you could use different colors for different cars???

i´ll have a look at the weekend, when i´m back home. thx for this facility

Quote from Viper93 :

...I always use that first race to warm up a bit and get used to playing again.

i do the same it does make sense

still does not make any sense to me. when the bars should show the time compared to others, they are just wrong. look, 55sec are longer then
57???

maybe i´m just too stupid, for what is this x-axis for? i don´t get it

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

Thought I only had 2 or 3 \o/ Lucky me the aliens were always on the silver & gold servers ;P

a record is a record is a record

for anyone who´s interested in, here´s my csv-file, packed in rar.

i´ve no idea if there are any f1-only teams around, but if you are looking
for a great f1-league, try this one: www.owrl.de

there´s currently a championschip running (for teams only) and
SK is leading it, before cyber racing and yeah yeah yeah factory phantom racing

so if you know the names of the teams, you know thats a very high-standard league

Quote from Damo74 :

I reckon if its supposed to help with strategy, then its a fuel load recommendation.

"how much fuel?" gets asked about 400 times a race.

i saw that feature on another server (i think it was "OT") and the
recommended fuel was far too much, but it was a nice feature anyway

i think we never met on track, but his old ocrana-gtr-mate buster told
me about his amazing skills.... great deal

we are always with you becky, keep it going

Quote from SamH :

... I figured if I said anything, people would just think it was arrogance, and trying to make out that the CTRA servers are better than anyone else. Honestly, I don't think that at all..

thats why i waited a few days before making this post (could´ve done
it 30min after patch x was released). but nothing changed, it wasn´t just
"a" bad experience.... i was on a couple of different servers and it was
always the same.

and i´m very relieved that i´m not the only one and that i´m not marked
as an arrogant "wannabe" (what i am, LOL).

it´s great to see the ctra community is a "brother in spirit" (no idea if
you know what i mean, its just the english-translation of a german saying).

@moose: i read somewhere you joined gentlefoods league. he´s a long time
mate of myself, as we were both driving in the owrl. so if you like driving
open-wheelers, i´d be glad to welcome you there!
it should be the biggest open-wheel-league in lfs (as far as i know).

www.owrl.de (international)

atm i´m done with the open-wheelers, but i´m still there as a race-marshall and moderator.

Quote from Dru :

Hey there,

20 laps on an oval and 20 laps on race courses with GTR's - have you done any off line time as well cause this kind of mileage (less than 500KM) in not exactly a lot)

Of course we wish you well in your pursuit of a team, but remember that you don't HAVE to be in a team immediately, imo i would first of all get some more laps doen on more than one or two tracks to find out which GTR car best suits your driving style, get some online races done, home your race craft and then reapply but maybe someone will take 'a risk' and employ your services from the get go

oops, should´ve looked after that before.... my fault.

in that case, its excactly like dru said, learn the game, learn the cars,
learn to race and come back later

hey remu, currently we are not looking for new drivers, but if you are
fast & fair, you may give it a try: www.factoryphantom.de

we are a mostly german team on almost all cars.

this must been said:

after a few hours of testing the new patch X last weekend on quite full public servers i must say: I WAS SHOCKED of the behavior some drivers had

well most of the time of my lfs "career" i was driving in leagues or on league-train-servers and for the last 4months i drove mostly on ctra-servers,
so maybe i was a bit spoiled over the last 2 years...

but what i saw the last days was so deterrent that i thought the whole
dispute about the standards on the ctra-servers must have been a bad joke.

even the "bad" driving on ctra-servers was never down on this evel... in my eyes.

thats why i decided to join a summer-fun-league to bypass the time, till
the ctra´s a up again...

edit: btw, the server-status-thread should´ve been updated
