Should be a fun one this, prefer reversed here, but still fun. I have a busy team events schedule till monday evening, so I might get some laps on tuesday afternoon
So you are in a team, but its temporary, and been in 4 teams in the past, and you are looking for a "fast team" who's members you can get along with, and you wont accept last place..?
I would guess that there would be more than just yourself nutty who would be "independent" and if there are so said independents, then why not team up together for the event.
Nothing that can be done really Dan, its a mixture of the time of year, start time of the series, annoying time zones and lack of commitment. Drivers will come and go, those who where there, im sure were greatful for the organisation.
U bugger!
I was disappointed for you to see you spun out at the first corner of the first race of your series, but it happens, and im sure that will be your worst round
To me, most things looked like racing incidents, but yes, hopefully, it was just first race tensions
Can I just get a quick clarification on a rule please?
Does that mean that you can Shift+P to the pits at anytime in qualifying and return to the track? A team mate who was in the second server had half a session wasted by someone who told him that he couldn't rejoin qualify after warping to the pits.
So generally, can it be a little clearer please? Does it mean you can "drive" into the pits and make a pit stop, or does it mean you can warp from any location, get a new car and give it another go?
Also, are there any different rules for tracks without a pitlane?
And finally, the "stuck and can't move" part.. does that include running out of fuel?
I was somewhat under the impression that there would be more in the way of changes to Blackwood, a line from the preview video said something like "changes to blackwood.. make things more exciting for the lesser powered cars" (not a quote, just what I remember reading).
The only changes I see to the layout are the curbs at the 1st chicane, the reduction in the grasscrete at the end of the main straight, and a few other little bits.
I guess I was expecting some kind of "feature" on the back straight, I cant find the text now, within the 1374 posts within the video thread, but, alas slightly dissapointed with blackwood.
South City on the otherhand, im amazed at how good that looks now, of course, now I would like all the tracks to look like that. It is safe to say that since trying x30, ive not raced anywhere else but blackwood and South City!
Season Two of the Christmas Cracker kicked off last night. The Championship is going to be hard fought this year, with the top three all on the same amount of points!
Rounds Continue on Wednesday and Friday this week, and Monday, Wednesday and Friday the week after.
I will say to you here what I have said to any other who has threatened to quit or leave a league because of an incident of something or other.. Do it, don't hold others to ransom about it. If you want to leave, leave. If you don't really want to leave, but thought you'd post it for the sake of reaction, that's fine too, but, if you are going to do it. Be true to your word
For the record, "muppet" is much less offensive than "idiot". Dictionary definition of "muppet" is "a stupid person". Dictionary definition of "idiot" is "an utterly foolish or senseless person", which goes on to say "a person of the lowest order in a former classification of mental retardation, having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25".
I don't expect people to let others get away with insults, but you shouldn't expect (or anyone) to get away with it either.
Incidents.. I could report a few im sure, however, I joined the series to have fun. I had fun. End of.
Thank you Dan for running a smooth event. It is so so nice to attend an event and not have to worry about admining it
Had a good first race, finishing 6th in the end. Second race wasn't so good, I could not slow enough for the last corner of race one, and I made contact with Dan down there, later spun and flipped.
After that, it was lonely till the end really, but thankfully, others made mistakes, and others were taken out, but ho hum and karma. All good in the end.
Yes, im in too. It is definatly more difficult that it was, and it shows me where I was obviously going wrong too, not being able to complete more than two laps when I started with it yesterday evening.
Some great changes overall, and some nice new things to get used to, and now another reason to get a non-plastic wheel
Dont really see the issue.. DBP had an event planned for last night, scheduled to start at 8PM uk time, and at that time, we were just learning of the master server issues. some 24 minutes later, we all got online, we all raced as planned.
Event admins and league administrators should have common sense about them to be able to make other arrangements. At any rate, what happened wasn't your fault, it wasn't anyone's fault. Technology brakes down, it happens.
Im quite sure your races in your league will get over it. After all, the new car alone will keep them busy for quite a while.
Season Two of the DBP MRT5 Series has been completed, R4R Storm Cloud took the championship out of the grasp of [DBP] B-rad this season. The series will return in the first quater of 2008.
