Lots of nagging going on again ... Just unbelievable that people can't just accept that incidents happens and just let the admins take care of it in the protest section

Well I'm in this league to have some fun at the great events Realistic Nascar gives us, thanx admins for all the great work you have done to make this events come true

And thanx to all of you mates overlapping me without flashing and honking like maniacs (only happened once tonite). As you noticed I use my mirrors and step aside when time comes

Well, NASCAR league next then

81 laps, AS1 very short track for sure ...

... so how do we deal with all the blueflag situations that will appear? Bringing this tricky Q up before the race might spare some hard feelings during the race, and saving some hrs to the admins

I know that some of the drivers in this league tend to stick to the horn and flash their lights furiously, expecting the lapped cars to dive in to a parking space to let them throe without any loss of a 1/100 of a sec ...

With this short track I think overlapping cars drivers need some more patient, because otherwise all cars one lap behind might as well go to pit and park there cars in running order, or just don't show up if you know you might be in the "blueflaged crowd"

Of course, the golden rule is to never fight your position when blueflaged, but still, to keep the race interesting further down in the field, the blueflaged car must be allowed to find a fair spot (in short time) where to yield without loosing it's positions towards cars behind.

I know this might offend some drivers, then stating that they are in a fight with some other guys and need to get throe without any time loss at all ... and sure they have a point in that statement.

So I think it all boils down to mutual respect, solving each situation the best possible way.
If a lonely upcoming car is approaching a bunch overlapped cars racing each other, I think he should give some more space to them, and if a lonely overlapped cars is going to be overtaken by a bunch of leading cars, that lonely blueflaged car should be very very careful and give lots of space to the passing cars

Drivers that fail to follow this conduct of honour and misplace themselves on the wrong Q-server might be taken out of the qualification by TR Admins

General Q behaviour.
- ALL drivers MUST check the "minimap" for upcoming drivers driving there hotlap.
- If you are on outlap/inlap you MUST let drivers on hotlap stay on their racing line and let hotlap driver pass in a safe way.
- Its recommended to let faster drivers pass if you have "lost" your hotlap, otherwise normal racing rules applies if both drivers are on a hotlap.
Qualification protest are treated the same way as race protests.

Everybody pls remember:
There are some guys, including me, that will watch the F1 final after our race at WE1, so pls don't post any spoilers in chat telling the outcome of the F1 final.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Screw the F1,it's much more fun to race by self than watching those overpaid milionares taking those spot ugly high tech vechicles for a spin,which would drive themselves with a little computer support anyway.

Those guys (except Kimi Rääkinen) wouldn't survive one season in Nascar Sprint Cup (or Indy) ... they are soooooo spoiled children

Imagine seeing the brawl at Phoenix last weekend in a F1 race ... man those millionaires and the fancy fans in the paddock would be soo shocked that they had fainted ... and Bernie ...

Quote from Cornys :

Just realized that this directly conflicts with the final race of the F1 Season . Sorry guys .

NP Corny, time is fine with me :-)
Im always downloading it at the motorsite no1 racingforme and looking at it later on. In Sweden motorsport is "banned" on TV and Radio (not considered as a sport actually ), noone around you talks about it, so its just like live broadcast to see the download whenever it suits you

Quote from Cawwa :

... At the back strait 3J waited to let me pass to restore our position between us two. Very seldom I see such gentleman action (according to to old and fair gentlemen agreement). On the other hand I haven't been racing for a long time

Bertil, I think we are becoming old gents

TR is back , 32 cars on the grid It was years since that happened before this event tonite.

GREAT combo, lots of fun tight hard racing.

Had some really mean racing with L.Matonis. We were almost 100% equal in speed so it was a real fun give and take hard battle. Lost it at the end thou, partly cus I had some bad luck with a blueflag situation were I suffered lots of speed.

All we TR admins are wery happy about all you new drivers on the grid. It has really improved the fun-value of our events.
Last fall we decided to also reach non Swedish drivers to get more participants to our Thursday events, and it has really payed off for sure

Keep telling your friends about this event

Quote from Eclipsed :

Seems like everyone felt warned exept the guy just behind me,thank you Mats...

No need to be sarcastic mate, I'm really sorry for that bump on you at T2 lap1.

But if you have a look at the replay you will also discover that I was bumped from behind as well, so i would say you were the victim of a chain reaction. Also notice my breaking lights, I'm breaking way earlier than the normal breaking point, and so are you ... I can admit I'm taken a little bit by surprise by the low speed you have, no excuse, just an explanation.

Never the less, I'm the car behind and I'm responsible to brake in time, so I take full responsible for my first bump into you , but not the second bump, because then I'm bumped from the car behind me.

Also sorry for the delay of my excuse, but as you know the forum has been closed for a while.

Fun to see some new drivers in TR at this event, your welcome back for sure

Sorry for the cut and paste mistake on the CEST time zone in the race post. Hopefully noone got it wrong

3 drivers who finsihed the race got 10 points deduct each for crossing the pit exit line:
Danny, Rocket and Nilex.
Some others were hairy close but imo you were never crossing the line

OK, cu next week, keep telling your friends about this event. All friendly drivers are welcome

Password set to picnic !
Weather will be cloudy, 32kmh wind

Quote from Big.Jamo :

Yepp, promise to not hurt you tonite, still annoyed hitting you last race

OK Kids, this is a combo requested by the Oldies in this league You had your monster combos already, now we need to calm down before the mighty Final of season 27.

This will be a Thursday picnic at Fern Bay
Feel free to take the roof down, and bring a bottle of wine and some cheese to enjoy in your car while racing

Since u probably will run out of wine pretty fast, there's a pitstop at lap 11-13 so you can have your pitcrew to hand over another whatever you are missing. Female passengers are banned thou ;-)


EDIT:

Without asking the other admins I have added an "Actual weather condition" test.
Its all in the first post above.
The idea is stolen from Corny, running the "World TBO Championchip" with this concept.
Thought it was ok to try it on this race, since its just a low end car this time 8)

Forecast for next thu at Fern Bay is Isolated T-Storms ... its gonna be wet on the track guys ;D

Just waiting to see if the other admins will kick me out now ... :-[

First:
Weaver, I'm dammed sorry about the incident on lap one, just before the chicane ... i was totally focused on the "chaos" in front so I forgot about you being at the rear of my car ... Really sorry about it mate, feel free to file a protest for sure

Otherwise I had a great race, fighting a lot of guys, but mostly my teammate Holmberg. And I managed to overtake him in the middle of the race, held him back until the last lap and the last chicane ... then he managed to pass me on the inside
It all started with me having a bad exit going into the long straight so he got great draft on me, but since we were on the same set I was really surprised that he was going that much faster at the end of the straight.
And since it was Holmberg i really tried to hold him back in the chicane, resulting that I had a crash, fortunately I didn't loose any positions on it
