:yikes:
Dammed, I totally missed this event :weeping::weeping::weeping::weeping:
NDR Nascar events just rocks, even if u dont get to do the race u get so many nice races in the practice sessions

Usuallay Cawwa (Bertil) keeps track of these events, but he's been busy driving his stupid bike , so i guess he has missed this as well

Man i'm so jealous now on all you who managed to quali into the race ... Have FUN

Dammed fun race, so many fights so i dont remeber them all.
This car is really creating lots of nice fun fights. Got an excellent set from my teammate Melin as usual. Also discovered (=Melin showed me) i had shifted wrong in the quali, so i had much better speed in the race.

Were fighting NRG Imphy at least half the race, but then he unfortunately got turned around in the last lefthander before the start/finish straight just some laps before the end ... heated up when we were 4 cars fighting for position at the exit of the corner ... I survived luckily on the right side off the track ...

Then I had a chicken race on the back-straight with Weaver ... I was determined to win it so I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaited until he braked, then i braked in panic and won it ... barely managed the chicane .. that was FUN

OKI, I'm on vacation now until August.
CU all whenever I get back

UFR and SO City is one of my favourite combos, lots of action guaranteed
Had some great fights with they guys around 10th place. Was at the back of Arbab for quite a long time, then did some stupid mistakes and got a tire-crisis, so I ended up fighting Weaver instead

We had many great laps pushing each other, then unfortunately we got into a racing incident crash on lap 17 when Weaver lost his car passing me at the end of the backstraight. Shit happens, but bad luck on the great fight we had :Handshake

Since I rammed Weaver straight on with my front in that caos, I had to limp into pit and race was more or less over ... well I manage to beat Mange I discovered when I passed the checker line

GRAND FINALE next Thursday, CU then

Quote from mange_e :

Just read through the rules found here before the race and you should do fine

Gutholz, u are more than welcome for sure. Rules are nothing strange, they are all about using common sence

I sure welcome some slower drivers for sure so I can have som company even at the end in the race

More fun race than expected
Had some great fights with the NRG guys snoopy and imphy, but i got trapped in their sandwich so they really fooled me on the overtake on both guys
Well Imphy u were faster for sure, but if I had gotten closer after passing snoopy I might have had a go on u Some laps later I pushed to hard in the chicane, lost 2 sec on that, so with 4 laps left i had to watch up for snoopy instead

Set my goal to top 10, and made it, really pleased with that

And to all of u who may think its tricky to sign up for the race, you don't have to do it on the Swedish forum, you got a signup link on this forum as well, all in English

Sorry, hinner inte ... men det kanske inte spelar någon roll, verkar under 10st anmälda just nu

Quote from tDiesel :

We are withdrawing our protest. Our driver had lag issues, but to him it looked fine.

Excuse accepted
I withdraw my protest against car #19. No point giving admins extra load

Thanks all admins for a great event.

Session: Round 6, Race
Lap: 99
Timecode: 5:04:43
Cars: #23 (me) and #16 (Kalicki)
Description:
At the very last chicane before the start/goal straight #16 decides to pass me #23 in the chicane, without having the slightest chance to succeed without causing a crash. The outcome is that #23 gets some damages and is sent to the sandbox where the car gets stuck. Takes me a long time to recover.
#16 suffers no harm and is gaining on overtaking #23 in a very unprofessional way.

Session: Round 6, Race
Lap: 75
Timecode: 3:51:39
Cars: #23 (me) and #19 (Bordei)
Description:
Car #19 hits #23 hard from behind. Hits left rear on #23 which sends #23 straight into the tire barrier, causing damage on #23 and lots of recovery time to get back on track again.
#23 was positioned at the very right side on the track to let #19 if possible, pass in a descent way. #19 failed doing so in a very bad way. Seems like #19 thinks I should have gone up on the grass to let them pass ...

EDIT:
Protest withdrawn, see below.

password set: "usebrain"

Server is set on quali 30 min. Can you pls change it to practise so we can test long stints

Quote from Mustangman759 :

qualifying will be over by 17:00 , superpole is not a open session

Yes, I realized that since I manage to get in to quali sessions 10 minutes before end ... but it was not that obvious when you read the schedule. Then I thought the first part was only a "warm up" session, and the superpole was for all attenders

EDIT: ... yes Matt, after reading the rule book once again I saw its clearly described in it

Last edited by sjoblom, Sun, 6 May 2012 10:57.

Cant make it to 17:00 UTC for superpole prob ... more likely 17:15 ...
Can I log in on server then?

Quote from cargame.nl :

It has some sort of official name; F22
Without the 'loop' section (mini oval part that is).

Good spotting there
Updated with the info I found on the GT3 forum:
Fern Bay Classic w/o Loop - Fe25r w/o loop

This combo will be awesome

Will be lots of action when brains are fading away and front tires get smoking red ... not just hotlaping then for sure

Beware of the sandbox before the straight to the horrible tire chikane. You end up there race might be over if you cant keep the car rolling out of it

WELCOME to a FUN and FRIENDLY event

Youre more than Welcome to give next event a try as well. That combo is a mean mot..er fu..er, no rest at all. I also putted in a mandatory pitstop so my teammate IRM | H.Melin can grab his mandatory beer ... no points for IRM if doesn't get his doping

25 cars on the Grid

Really fun that so many drivers has found this event again. You are all WELCOME again friends, your behaviour was excellent ... well on complain over your speed, you were dammed to fast, better slow down next event to give us oldtimers a fair chans

Fuin race for sure, had a battle whole race with the tree/four last cars, and was lucky to end up in place 21. Thanks for fun fights with you all

Were actually pretty pleased with my driving tonite, found the extra pace when I was under attack, and manage to drive rather consistent rest of the laps.

CU next event, racing mates

Team name: Independent Racing Mates
Number: 23
Car: FZ3
Drivers:
sjoblom, Mats Sjöblom, Sweden
Cawwa, Bertil Holmberg, Sweden
nobreaks11, Hans Melin, Sweden

EDIT: Will probably be late for superpoole, around 17:15 UTC ...

Dammed fun race tonite
Think it was 3 or 4 cars around me fighting for position in almost 20 laps, switcing positions almost every lap.
Ended up almost on the podium, among the best races I've done recently

Fun to see some new racers on the grid, hope you enjoyed the event.
Some of you wasn't signed up ... well would be nice if you do that next races

Quote from Cawwa :

Looking good Sjöblom ...

To mark a field Obligatorisk is "Mandatory" in the English language though ...

EDIT: ... and Skicka at the bottom is "Send" in English. No more Swenglish please ...

So u tell me how to solve it ... it´s Google using my swe location, the formula is all autogenerated by google docs ... so maybe (=hopefully) its in eng (or your foregn locale) if your pc is using foreign location ... anyone outside sweden, pls let us know if your formula is in swedish as well

This english spoken TR forum is recently "reborn" and shaped up. We want Your opinion about this forum and our events in general. What seems to be OK and what is not functioning.

Eg:
- sign up formula; is it messy or ok to handle
- rules thread; can you understand it fairly easy
- forum structure; is it organised ok or total chaos
- race events; did you find it friendly and fun or just hostile and boaring

... and all other stuff you wanna say something about

We just start with this single thread, then we can expand it and have special threads for special subjects.

OK Racers; Speak Out

Hello all Friendly racers

This season, S25, we are implementing a new way of signing up to our race events. Earlier you have had to register on a Swedish spoke forum in order to be able to sign up. Well, that's easy for me understanding all that crap, but for our non-swedish racers its been a pain in the ass

So we have created a form in English were you can sign up for the races in the current season. Please only sign up for one race at the time, so we only get sign ups from racers at least 90% sure they will attend the TR event
Then, god forbid, if your wife/girlfriend suddenly decide that you should go to a boring dinner party :wtf2:, you can use the same form to withdraw from our Fun Event :eclipsee_

Since this is a test in the beginning, it's still OK to sign up at our Swedish forum as well. This also means that when you check the current signup list (link below), you will not see all attenders, only the one that has signed up using our English form

So what are you waiting on, its time to sign up for next event

HERE is the event signup form!
HERE is the event attenders list
