Great name: perfect for PR.

We are still kings of that, if I may be so bold.

Quote from Mr.46 :

Or... maybe you just Photoshopped the plate blank?

Tommy had a plate number but Ken didn't. The plate changes to whatever the new person has set when you switch drivers.

Quote from racer hero :

Are you kidding me? I'm the one that NDR always picks on, shut your face.

We should all consider ourselves blessed to see Ken win an NDR event and not have it taken away from him via penalties, right?

Quote from gacek1 :

and he doesn't have penalty? good job admins!

Oh damn.

Quote from The_Project :

Hi racers ! I'm actually searching for a GT2 FXR setup for KY3, i need this setup for a (very) long endurance race . I would really appreciate if someone can make me one or help me to do one ...
Thanks

GTAL did GT2 @ KY3 earlier this season. You may do well do check which teams did well (7Karat comes to mind) and ask them directly. I guarantee no results, but it's worth a shot.

Quote from xtraction :

Safety car laps like 6 min or something?

3 minutes 45 seconds, deko tested it. 2 SC laps (the minimum for a SC period) means exactly one less green flag lap.

Quote from NightShift :

Is that a medical condition?

Yes it's called ICantStandAnnoyingPeople-itus. It's an old guy trying to be 20 again and a pair of tits stumbling over every other sentence they manage to read out from the cue cards.

All I learned about rFactor 2 is that it's evolutionary except for the tire model, and it doesn't run on crappy laptops, which they apologized for about 17 times.

Quote from NightShift :

No comments?

Here's a comment I suppose:

After listening to them for about 3 minutes my face literally started to hurt.


And no, I do not mean "figuratively", there was actual pain.

Quote from fermevc :

lap 43/time 1:03:30/ race
#04 and #24
At the end of lap 43 our car 04 goes into pits for driver change and Car 24 hits us from behind causing us to spin.

I know that you guys at SCP love using screenshots to prove points in protests, so I'll give you a screenshot or two.

In the first screenshot it shows you coming out of the final corner with us immediately behind you. Your driver is in the process of lifting off the throttle, before his tires are off the curb he is completely off the throttle.

The second screenshot shows the distance, less than a car length, 2.08 meters to be precise.

Your driver lifted in a full throttle zone with another car less than a car length behind him and contact was made, then you proceeded to protests against the car that hit you?



Are.

You.

Insane?


Edit: Actually I'm not done, I'll tell the story from our point of view as well.

I wasn't actually watching remote at the time, but when I opened it up I saw Randy did a time 5 seconds slower than his best, I asked him "what happened?" and he said "I hit a slow SCP car by the pit entrance." He also then called me to take over the car because his tires flat spotted from sliding around, when we had planned on doing 5-6 more laps.

Your driver's daft maneuver of lifting off the throttle right in front of someone else ended up costing us time and caused us to have to change our strategy around a bit, if anyone should be protesting anyone, we should have protested you.

Quote from Drift King CZ :

They both finished in front of us and if they will be penalised, it will change our position.

That's a great example of something being indirectly related to something else.

Quote from J@tko :

Thanks to everyone who came. I hope you enjoyed it, I think it was a successful event

Are the bold those of us twats who pulled out at the last minute?

Quote from Drift King CZ :

I did.

OK, you read them then completely discarded them. You know you did wrong because you had to come up with an excuse for what you were doing.

Involving your team directly means that it was a contact incident or he unfairly overtook YOUR teams car. It does not affect every team directly, it affects some directly (those involved) and possibly some others indirectly.

MoS passing LLM before the start line, how does that directly affect you?

LRT passing three slow cars under SC, how does that directly affect you?

Quote from Drift King CZ :

Lap/Timecode/Session: Lap 112 - 113 restart
Cars involved: 32, 37
Brief description of incident: Ministry of Speed (32) passing Last lap Motorsports (37) before the line on a restart.

Quote from Drift King CZ :

Lap/Timecode/Session: Lap 67, under caution, after the 1st chicane
Cars involved: 20
Brief description of incident: Someone probably slowed down suddenly after the chicane... 01 slowing down, 03 very surprised, goes on brakes hard, 03 hits 01's rear a bit and 03 half-spins. 11 and 01 keep going (11 and 01 are in front of 03, they only slowed down to make it safer and were accelerating slowly again) a bit slower, but it's clearly obvious that their pace is not that low that they should be passed by 20 which uses this situation and passes all the 3 cars under caution.

Not to mention that 20 made spin 2 cars on the 1st green lap after restart.

Read the rules:

X. 4. b. Protests from a team may only be for an incident involving their team directly.

I seem to have stayed up all night for F1 so I'm not be waking up in time for this so one of the late sign-ups can take my spot against wilko.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Basically, it was Snogard, trying to dive on the outside of T1 at a restart, braking like if they were restarting, at 8 minutes to go, while there simply was no place for them. They almost took me out with that move, but fortunately, only touched my rear bumper slightly before going to the gravel.

I did nothing dangerous or illegal during that move. I changed my line once during the straight, and then, came back on the racing line for the braking point.

When you braked you were still moving left, across/into M. Schnieders' braking line. In braking zones cars get closer together, and when you are already nose to tail like that you can't brake into his lane, contact is going to be made.

If you had braked straight everything would have been fine (except maybe he would have passed you, but that's neither here nor there).


Schnieders was wrong though, offline practice wont help poor racecraft.

go back to your old avatar immediately please

Quote from J@tko :

Chris Wilkinson, Ramon Blauwhoff and Lims Chebbi currently are on byes into Round 2. If anyone else signs up, then they will fill these bye spots, in order from the top down.

OK. I assume I'll be going against Ramon though since Chris crippled himself?

Also if you keep scattering tires everyone will hate you and you may end up dead, so there's also that.
