Quote from HVS5b :In reply to pikd:

I beg of you, please do not do this to me if I am in a position to lap you ever. You obviously have no intention of listening to others trying to correct a horrible driving error but please please do not brake on the racing line in front of me.

Quote from HVS5b :It was a dab of left foot brake to facilitate the pass, not liked we slammed the anchors on.

Is that was caused the problem? Or the subsequent nose-chopping manouevre?

Braking on the racing line while not in a braking zone is a horrible idea, especially when there is a car behind you concentrating on getting around you. They are going to assume that you are going to remain as predictable as possible (that is, braking in braking zones, staying on throttle when on the racing line) so that they can worry about making a clean pass.

If you had tried that right in front of someone less experienced you may have ended up rear ended and YOU could have been heading towards the red 'n white barriers.

The "dab of left foot brake" was what started the whole turn of events, DMT just was a bit foolish to go back outside so quick. I would expect deko to hand both warnings at the very least.

Edit: Later in the race I was being lapped by two cars one lap ahead of me, fighting for somewhere between 8th-10th or something. I got completely off the racing line (I went to the left of the straight) while still pretty far from the braking zone, I think just after the bridge. I then lifted to let both cars past. No incidents happened because I moved left far enough ahead of them that they could see where I was going well before they drafted up to me. I would suggest doing this if you really feel the need to slow yourself to let lapping traffic past.

Quote from Bmxtwins :dont allow shift+ u on the server... i think there's a way.

Layouts can be taken from replays as well.

Andy King, I would say you are SOL. It might be "yours" in the sense that you created it but once its out there pretty much anyone can use it. It's pretty much the same deal with skins. There is nothing you can do to keep people from "stealing" either.

Quote from skstibi :Because my second driver AND the backup driver failed to show up. Need I say more?

Ah, I was thinking it was something like that. I figured both others on the tracker would have been much better.

Quote from skstibi :Hell, He is my teammate and I was not happy! He was not even supposed to have to drive in the race.
I will agree with you that he was all over the place, he had never driven with the setup before and he is a FXR guy.

Quote from pik_d :

I would also like to say that some people should get a bit more practice in before trying to race. oldnavy and fabiansaad. Most of the people seems pretty well prepared though, not quite as "amateur" as I expected. Only one SC? good going guys.

Wow, I didn't know it was THAT bad. Why was he even in the car?

Quote from AjRose :Everyone that far back was doing that speed. They were trying to close the gap.

This is true, the start was a total failure. One of my teammates on Ventrilo said "They have to waive this start off... oh I guess not..."

I was doing the same speed as RSR but had to slow because I had CD in front of me (who I should have been beside of, but if I had done that I'd have been rear ended by RSR) slowing a bit since they finally caught the grid.

Here is the appropriate rule:

Quote :
VIII. Race Procedures
3.The race shall be started with a double-file rolling start after one lap behind the Safety Car. Drivers are to remain in single-file formation until the last sector where all tyre warming activities are to stop and teams are to get into double file. The front row must be on the pitlane speedlimiter from a marked point. The rest of the field shall hold approximately pitlane speed until the green flag flies. The pole-sitting team may choose to start from the right or left of track, prior to grid setting.

The entire back of the field was desperately trying to get caught up in formation but didn't have any time to. Blackwoods front straight is pretty short and there's not really much that could have been done here. RSR didn't plan to get the advantage they got but they definitely were not close enough to those in front to get caught up like everyone else did.

Look at the date of the OP. SR's server was big before FOX Junkies came around.

Quote from JO53PHS :This is like saying 'chav' is racist. It just isn't. There is no religion or nationality of 'Pikey' or Gypsies. Sorry if I caused any offence, but I didn't think I would

Now please, I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion about what is and isn't racist, because that would just be a waste of time, money and internets.


I'm American, words like chav/pikey have next to no meaning to me. Here I'll rephrase:


Do the politically incorrect one. I want to see what a "gyppo pikeymobile" would be.

A tough choice

Quote from oldnavy :Other news: Due to some people reactions we was thinking to rename our team to "Promotech racing", but its very hard to deal for copyrights to this awesome name and this can take some time.

Quote from Deutschland2007 :No words anymore ->

EDIT: Eimantas, just because they say you need a diffrent name because there aren´t many Lithuanians in the team, it doesn´t mean you need to do it. F1RST Racing doesn´t change their name either when they come 2nd, do they?

Leave it to a German to not get a joke.

Quote from oldnavy :How much times you will say that?

Everyone can leave the team but it wont close, and you can say whatever you want. TBH i dont know what more I need to do to prove that we not closing down, and all this talks about that continiues for almost all year

As it seems like you know, teams can function with few drivers. sa| has only 3 drivers and has for months and we're doing just fine.

Good luck guys.

Too long, I got bored about 1/2 to 2/3rds through and didn't bother finishing it. It's some nice effects bust most of it was simply the same thing over and over (with a different car).
