Good Fun, Thanks all!

Id say good luck and I hope you do it justice, however your Racername is [360*].. Please dont turn it into another forum team, we are overrun with those.

have you searched it?

Not since S1 to my knowledge.

Quote from spyshagg :

look, didn't know it was you... i race with tyre temp view.

and that makes it all ok? I race with the same view as you, I can see the race position list, which tells me who is where. EVEN so, why does it make a difference who it is?

Quote from spyshagg :

wrong assessment of events there.

when i was racing the stcc league, lots of guys were penalized because of stunts like those you did to me. I find it nice and challenging the guy behind wants the lead so bad. I didn't get mad and i probably lost the race in those stunts, but apparenty you are because i sticked to the rules that protect the leader.

The rules are not there to protect anyone. The rules are there to ensure clean racing, the ability to be able to trust and to race wheel to wheel with another and to not have to worry about them turning in. We didnt even get that far.

Quote from spyshagg :

That what you saw wasn't me blocking.

Blocking means i put my self in front of you before reaching the corner.

I never did that. I never abandoned my hotlap racing line because no one won my position before any corner, except dadge and gAg.

Oh right. Firstly you contradict yourself here.. Hotlap and Racing line.. two entirely different things, and if you are thinking that you can win a race and keep tyres safe by driving hotlap lines for 60 laps, then I will come and shake your hand, its simply not the way its done.

Quote from spyshagg :

Its not cooperation but its called racing.

Racing without cooperation is effectively wrecking imho.

Quote from spyshagg :

its all fun until its not, right? bye

Its a funny comment that, and I always wish to reply when I see it in other threads, its an excuse thats used too much. Lets break it down.

Its all fun until its not... FOR WHO? Am I just not good enough to run at the top end of things? Am I so much of a threat that the lead has to be protected so badly? Do I just not deserve the resepect to race with as another clean driver? Do I have STCC written on my head?

I didnt think so either.

In summary.. doesnt matter.

Quote from spyshagg :

edit: we didn't race together for like a year i'm sure the next time we can have fun if not to much time passes until the next race, or we will forget our racing styles and something goes wrong in the race again! really. I go by the book because i havent raced you guys in a year or more. Now i know something about you guys and next time we can have fun by "cooperating". cheers

Nice genric comment to end on, but let me ask the question, why does it matter who you are racing? Does that mean that you wouldnt race by the book with others? Are we special? Are we not worthy? Which is it?

Its a shame, but my feelings pre-race, remembering some of the last time, and im sure I could find threads if I really looked hard enough, seemed to be proved right.

Every time I spend some time practicing, I always end up having better races and more of a fun time in practice. Everyone (exceptions) seems to go into uber competitive mode when the green light comes on.

And so I bid you fair well Spyshagg, enjoy your fun racing.

[And yes Franky, I am Feel free to remove].

Its a concept called cooperation, a concept you seem to not have any understanding of. If you hadn't have spent so much energy on making sure you could block EVERYTHING your tyres wouldnt have got so.. hot.

Its actually quicker, and wastes less time to cooperate with others rather than trying to always keep the position.

yes the lead car chooses the line, but that choice cannot be made in a split second and expect the driver behind to react no matter what.

There was a lot of contact between us, and as that was coming from behind, its technically my fault. However you did nothing to cooperate with me. I should have realised from last time, ill remember for the future..

Too right it was for Penny. Good win Dadge.

I know franky Thank you for the information resend, I got it eventually. Thank you also for taking the time to host these GP's they never ever go right for me, but it doesnt (normally) stop me finishing.

This time, I dont know. Lots of blocking and shoving. Its just not why I entered.

Regardless, unlucky on the drive through dadge, tho you will win it in the end, you deserve it.

Any chance of a resend, ive so far received nothing..

Im sorry but it has to be said, and im sure if i browsed the other 9 pages of this thread I would fine more..

To the previous poster...LOOK at the thread title.

Interesting concept and design Danowat, good luck

Well use your mighty powers Sir Doodle-a-lot

Why do you wish to join a team?

New PB new PB Yay! 1:22.56 I think!

I think we all are, but we know this entering anyway, and yet we still enter.. Must be something in the water..

Exactly, now thats planning and dedication.

But im not saying every league has to be like that, some are popular without anything, and some just work, but most things do require a little more than "4 hours on a plane" planning. But if you do "plan it on a plane", I take my hat off to you. I love flying, but it makes me so sleepy!!

1:22.91... cant believe it R3's too. More time in there!

Good luck to you. However you may find that most of the S2 licenced races wont visit the demo servers, so will probably not be needing your skin.

Skin looks good, too good for a demo server.. (hint)

Quote from banshee56 :

Hmmm....that does sound like the recent trend in the teams section, doesn't it?

Indeed it does! It makes me wish there was a Moderator soley for the Teams section, and perhaps some posting rules, or a sub-section for "Forum Teams".

Quote from banshee56 :

EDIT: Another thing I would like to see in LFS is registration of leagues and league admins, as the only ones that can get league sections. Hmmm...off to the improvements section I go to type....

I'd support that request 100%

Banshee56 knows how to run a league. Ive ran a few myself, and I know it takes a lot more work than usually people running in them see. Its easy to think "oh, I can do that"

[shameless self promotion]

Driven By Passion's two latest leagues took a long time in planning. They both have external websites and links to forums, with rules, structure and tones of information.

Multicup | MRT5 League < that is the one I like better, it doesnt take too much work to get a simple site up, but its the information and content that takes much longer.

Yeah thats my bad, however via searching I found all that was needed, and tried out slick mod myself for the first time. Lots of fun actually.

It would be nice to see things like they were in the old days, with leagues and series fully planned out and all ready for entry before they get threads opened on them.

What happened to this league? Did it happen, was it canciled? How can I invest my time in something that even the organiser doesnt know the full details of?

Way to encourage Bob Quite possibly the nicest put-down ive seen for a while. Tis true in some ways tho. Its a tricky car to drive, it can snap away at any point and is not easy to get back in control.

But yes, point being, there is a search feature, and many places running MRT5 leagues.

Technically neither as there are none But it has to be ATC, depending on franky's mood

Will be good to race you again Although I feel I will be one of those who you pass after screwing my tyres up in the first 15 laps.

Then will be back I miss them too. I planned on some practice tonight, but never got around to it.

I have a league race tomorrow evening, then ill be online in the ATC Server.

1:23.10 for 68 laps is currently my online pb.

Here is the only link you will ever need.

Search

One Slick Mod Link

One LFS Tweak Link

A Patch V Link

DrivenByPassion is into the last three rounds of its MRT5 Series, which has been running since the 1st July.

Im sure there are others currently running too. Infact, http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=24615

Searching will help

Works well for me remotly. Throws an error (which I forgot to copy) if you close LFS first, its basically a disconnection error, but still, thought id report.

Thanks for this Darktimes.. Your LFS Apps are great, keep em coming!
