Crap weekend. Absolutely flawless during quali, warm up, and anything else. Come race time and I made some idiotic and stupid mistakes. Lets hope Blackwood is nicer to me.
LOTA forums aren't really busy except for racedays and talk about setups/strategies. Just sign up . It takes me a couple of minutes to go through unread threads in LOTA.
My fault on the last caution although there were already 3 cars turned around on the track. Kinda strange. Anyway, I lost my concentration for that split second and hit PMD. Sorry bud, didn't mean to at all.
Qualifying was absolute crap as you can tell by my qualifying time but the race was amazing, except for my two major mistakes. My set was awesome in the long run but sucked in the first 10 to 15 laps.
All in all, there are still some teething problems but this is only the very first season and it is slowly getting better.
Oh yeah, there was someone CONSTANTLY honking at me during cautions and giving me love taps for no reason.
I enjoyed it very much but have a question regarding qualifying. It was mentioned in the server that you will see a message to join the qualifying session. I never saw that message and that's why I joined the first session so late. For the next round should I just try joining and if it barks then I know I'm in the second session?
Thanks. Enjoyed it very much even though I got knocked out int he first round.
If people drift around the course and start causing a mess, DQ them. I just did a 45 lap run and the tires are OK but get worse when you slide the rear. By drifting the tires will get eaten up. Now the first corner is tricky because you are coming into the lefthander under braking and you will sometimes loose the rear end. I hope you won't be anal about it lizard but I understand why you are trying to enforce it.
If the odd person slides their car, you should ignore it. If a person blatantly goes sideways a few laps in a row, give them a warning, and if they repeat, kick them.
I was doing 1:36s/1:35s and got a high 1:34 late in the race but that's because I was kinda saving my tires . Actually my setup was really good for tires but in the last 2 laps I messed up the hairpin twice letting one of the HR guys catch me up. It was a Canuck too .
The incident NIKI is talking about happened while I was on the rumble strip in T1 and he was on the sidewalk. Slight touch and he corrected me (I went a little too hot), he hit the wall unfortunately.
Racing was amazing although I have to learn to restart. Both times I got taken for a ride on the restart. Lost 2 to 4 places on the start and restart.
LOTA does the same thing if they see some people keep timing out. They change the password to stabilize the server and to keep the people with a poor connection out.
That should be interesting to see what the results of your review are since I took a look at the replay so many times now and thought I didn't do anything wrong. The corner turned left and so did I. I would have called that a racing incident unless you are thinking of something else that happened during that restart.
I've seen that too on my new card as well until the skin loads. Then it is fine. I'm sure it is nothing to do with the video card itself but the way LFS handles the skin download.
