Looks like he's just holding the handbrake the whole track

Quote from 5haz :

All Merlin engines, wether Rolls Royce, or Packard, were supercharged.

I'm an idiot, dunno why I wrote that...

Quote from BlueFlame :

Ever heard one? They make baby jesus jizz his pants. V12 of the biggest kind, was in Spitfires and was in the Hurricane MkC i think too, it was also in bombers but I don't remember which ones of the top of my head.

Don't forget the mustang! Although it was built by packard and was supercharged...Still a merlin though.

Quote from mclarenmatt :

For years I have only really watched F1 but now Im starting to get into Nascar, Le Mans Series etc

Ordered up the rather hard to find Nascar 09 for Xbox 360, should keep me entertained for a while Even if its not the best Nascar game ever

Try NR2003, great game(err simulator)

EDIT: There's also the VHR mod for Rfactor. It's not that realistic, but it's mighty fun to race online with other folks.

The car looks better in this link IMO

That's what I thought. When I first looked at it, I thought it looked a bit like that new Lotus Evora

Yes, yes it was.



Either you didn't read what I typed, or there's is just no hope for you.



Responded in red.

Have you guys ever been in a league where there is an SC? You have to use common sense to know/find where it is.

It's a league race, not a day care center.

What part of THERE WAS NO QUEUE(aka"group of cars") on the map don't you understand? And I stated that the admin needs to have a SLOW DOWN message not for my sake, but for others, I do know that you need to slow down but it's kinda pointless if it results in me getting wrecked. The first car slowing down while the rest are still going fast doesn't help that much does it?

Quote from J@tko :

Wait, why are you still racing when the SC is out? Surely you should slow down as soon as the caution comes out, so it doesn't matter where the SC is?

Read my post, if I slowed down, I would've been rear-ended(which I was regardless), the whole damn field was still driving fast.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Sounds like the drivers had issues. It's pretty easy to spot a slow triangle on track map, or a group of cars (queue), but overall its just that the drivers need to slow down to a safe speed (while still faster than SC) in order to catch the SC wherever its at.

Crashing just shows the drivers obviously were not driving at a safe speed, so its a fail on their part.

First of all, I'm not going to keep my eyes on the damn map looking for the speed on one of the numerous dark orange triangles when I'm going 150mph around the track so I don't get rear-ended. According to the rules, I am not supposed to tell people to slow down(it's the admin's responsibility to do that) and that surely didn't happen.... Also doesn't help that the safety car just sits in the pits circle-jerking while a caution has been called. And I thought you said blaming the drivers was wrong?

Quote from J@tko :

Yes..... can't you see on the mini-map that there's a queue of cars somewhere, failing that can't you use your EYES to see whats on the track ahead? The brakes aren't that bad on it

Takes a whole straight-away to slow down....if you watch the replay, I tried as hard as I can not to ram the safety car(cause I'm a nice guy :razz I barely missed him and was still slowing down after I passed him.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Maybe I am glad my PC crashed and I couldn't make this race.

I'm not going to take sides (drivers/admins) because I know both are in some ways "wrong" in the end.

Drivers: If you wreck under SC, and the SC wasn't the actual fault of it (SC brake checking you or something ridiculous like that) then it's the driver's fault. No matter what. Saying the leaders ran into each other because the SC didn't come out fast enough is complete lack of *lets not get into it*.

Drivers blaming admins: Ok, you got to understand that these admins won't be perfect for the first few races. Actually, they probably will never be perfect, because no admins ever are. Admins volunteered to help run this series after the creator decided to bail out last minute. Blaming them is making you look bad, it doesn't really give a bad impression toward the admins. And no, you have not backed up any "complaints".

So you're telling me that safety cars are not obligated to at least acknowledge where it's at, not to mention that it's on the damn track. When you're drivin around the track waiting for the safety car (which, might I add, is the same colored arrow as like 5 OTHER lapped down cars on the track) and you have people racing around the track as to where if you slow down, you risk being a**-raped, it's kinda hard to know where the damn safety car is. It's just common courtesy to notify the drivers where the safety car is. Or else two perfectly good cars (and arguably the fastest) wouldn't have been wrecked (one had to DNF for it, and he was a very fast car) I'm sorry, it's VERY hard not to "complain" about that.

Quote from Wilko868 :

We don't want to hear that sort of thing, we want to know how to improve. You moaning without even giving a reason dosen't help one tiny little bit.

What exactly did I moan about without giving reason? Enlighten me.

Here's another piece of "constructive criticism"

When the yellow flag comes out, please don't wait like 3 damn laps for the safety car to finally come out, without people knowing, and having the two top cars get wrecked because of it...

she has a mole on her forehead

f**k everything, I'm moving to israel

Damn you kristi, stole 410

Quote from PMD9409 :

So then they have an excuse. What's the excuse in other series?

good man, good man

He's saying don't talk about who didn't do their jobs, that's input.

Quote from dekojester :

If you really want the things that went wrong fixed, give input, just don't complain. That's the only way to get something done.


I don't want to ever again hear any of this he said/she said BS about who should run it, or about who didn't do their jobs.

I'm getting mixed messages.

I think I read somewhere that the only reason you would need to use double-clutch is if you don't have synchronus...
