Quote from lizardfolk :The broadcast is postponed until further notice. Right now maintaining and developing the league is much more important than the broadcast. The broadcast should only serve as a supplement not a prominent factor.

Best case scenario I can find some time to actually start recording and have at least race one out by the start of Race 3. Worse case scenario, all broadcast activities are postponed until the league stabilized.

I know I'm being very vague right now, but that's the best I can give atm. Thank you for your patience

Quote from scania :I think the down hill hair pin & the up hill fast coner will kill more car & we will see more caution than the bus stop chicane....

You haven't been on CTRA servers have you? Even with the lovely XRG & XFG, people thought they can go two wide. You can't. In the downhill left hander in SO Town you actually have room to go two wide safely, three wide if you push it and really slow down.

I'm glad SO Town is staying. It is a great track with lots of bumps....

Too tight for this bunch. I actually love the SO Classic track with the XRT but with these drivers, you will have a caution all the time. People won't know NOT to dive bomb into the chicane. You have to line yourself up and get a great exit to get the driver on the next corner. Plus people will bitch and complain that they are getting tagged or spun out since lap traffic will be horrendous.

I'm sorry but that should be a DNF, plain and simple. I've been a victim of that due to my ISP but it only happened a couple of times.

It was Ken and I who touched after the funky restart. Once I saw the green I thought it was a green flag but that came 2 seconds later. Pumped the brakes but then realized I should just floor it because I will most likely be run over by the "I-have-no-brakes" drivers.

Ken, I thought I had you cleared and gave you enough room to go side by side in T1. I don't know if you had anybody on your left though. I will have to check the replay again.

Cautions:

Well, some people need to learn to use their brakes. Once I got into the top 10, it was a lot better but out of the top 10, my rear bumper was hit a couple of times. I started driving with both feet at that point and out of the line. I was able to keep to 80 km/h most of the time but at the start the leaders accelerated and then dropped back to 80 km/h. I think that's what caused most of the passing before the S/F line.

Get the NVIDIA monitor view to see what your temps are like during game play.

I just upgraded from an ATI Radeon 1900XTX to NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX and all my artifacts, glitches, weird graphics are gone. My ATI card overheated once with the stock fan and it never was the same after that. My ATI card reached the boiling point of water .

I watched Days of Thunder last week. I really like the soundtrack so to the intro so far.

Nice video as usual. Anything for GTCC?

Talk to the LOTA guys since I'm pretty sure they opened it up to everybody.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :This time, the safety car driver had a mouse, but next time there will be a safety car driver with pedals and a wheel, for smoothness.

As for chatting penalties, that will be discussed (excuse the pun) between the organisers and I'm sure a satisfactory decision will be met.

As for admin chatter, most of it was in vent but some slipped through vent and had to be text spoken. There was A LOT going on in the vent channel, believe me!

Thanks for explaining. Speed limit was 80 mph. Even with mouse could you guys not have it geared where it would top out at 80? Just wondering.

Anyways, I lost power 5 minutes after I logged out of the server. Since my APC connects to an ungrounded socket, it looks like it took the whole hit of whatever lightning bolt hit our electrical segment.

I agree with everything that's been said before. Due to my bad fortune and getting involved in almost every incident, I thought the pace car wasn't keeping a steady lap since all I was during caution was accelerate, brake, brace for impact, accelerate, brake, brace for impact.

Do we really have a lot of kids here? It seems most people go a la Clarkson "POWAAAAAAAA" and don't even know they have a middle pedal called the brake. I was slowing down for mishaps in front of me and people at the back thought they could fly through the wrecks. And like I said earlier, even during caution I was getting hammered from the rear.

Server crash. It happens. You guys seem to spring quickly into action unfortunately there were some people that thought they were admins on this server. The admins should also NOT use the race to chat and instead use something like TS or Vent.

Also, do any of the kids know what it means to shut up? Or do they know how to read? Asking for setups on raceday? Automatic kick/ban for that day to the server. Eventually that happened but it should have happened right at the beginning.

I would love to participate in this league because it is on the weekends. I usually drive in LOTA but because of my shift work, I miss 2/3rds of the races. I want you guys to succeed but please enforce the rules. There should be a boatload of chatting penalties this time around.

As a request, can someone post the replays?

We saw yesterday what can happen at the start. My car is really loose for the first few laps so I will gladly loose position taking the high line and letting everybody go. But that's me. When I did try to race for position, my car would break loose coming off the kink.

A warning, yes but I think the majority of the people will be fine since most of them I raced with last night were quite good at the beginning. If you practiced with them, you know the line they take at the beginning.

Reboot your router or reconnect to your ISP before the race. That seems to help some people who have frequent disconnects. Turn off everything that uses the net and you should be fine.

Quote from Bose321 :i'm trying to make it.
i'm using my newest scene for it, it's still a W.I.P.
The lights and the wall texture have to be improved, but this is what i have so far..

If you don't like the whole idea, just tell me and i'll do a normall render for you.

I like it because of its peekaboo character but I would like a full render of the car itself as well. .

Quote from lizardfolk :Well during the race being fast still might not win you the race

I know. I've seen it personally where I got a podium over the faster drivers. As long as I stay away from trouble, I'll be fine. And you use your wheel lizard .

That's quick. My best was a 48.57 but I am pretty consistent.
