Wait until I get the hands on the guy that powered through the mess =) with something like that everyone should have been on the brakes much harder. Still, funny to watch though =) Alot of people just coasted into that.
The problem is on the CTRA servers we do not allow passengers. Most servers do. What's happening with your setups is that older setups are recognized as having a passenger when in reality they don't. If you take the "Race S" setup and duplicate your older setup you should find that you will be able to race.
It's a bug, but only from older setups and then only when the server creates the rule of no passengers allowed does it show up. Hopefully this works for you =)
As for XRT races the CTRA Race 2 server bounces between the GTR's and the TBO classes so you should be able to find some great racing in there for the XRT. If not you can always try out the GT2 classes of cars, they are tons of fun too =)
The announcement wasn't ideal for anyone involved. =) VAT free because its under 18 pounds =) Least thats how I think it works :scratchhead: No posts yet because nobody has posted =)
Will have to wait to see what Vykos does with the CTRA league rules used for sanctioning leagues but it shouldn't be too dissimilar to the ones used for on track infractions for the STCC. I will hope to post more up on the ESport website and I am sure Vykos will be posting more stuff up on the website soon aswell.
I think you missed my point. There is a system in place to help them, if they fail to use that system it is not our fault and hence no answer. We have answered all appeals as quick as we can. I believe we have 1 on file ATM.
What you see is a closed thread because there are procedures set in place to deal with questions like this. It's not up for public debate unless the driver wishes to post his or her license notes and links to the reports and not just replays.
We do however ask them to appeal and we can begin the process of either...
A. Changing our Decision
or
B. help the person to understand why he or she was banned.
these are done via PM and other private tools to help keep bashing and flaming to a minimum. We set up the appeal system so threads like ones you are asking about don't happen, hence the closure.
I think I know which replay you are on about. If you feel that the admin that decided the replay did not rule the incident correctly please feel free to appeal so more admins can have a look at it and discuss.
There is a reason. If you would have painted the whole picture this one report would have been given better context. However this is a subject best left to PM's and appeals.
There is not a problem with the rule. The problem lies in training the people not obeying the rules which cannot be changed by altering the rule, the rule will still be disobeyed.
True =) The GTS-R they also came in a street version which only changed enough to meet safety requirements and it was called the GT2. But your right.
So we step aside from that, all anyone has told me so far is that the Viper cannot handle because Jeremy Clarkson said so. To me that sounds a bit like mob mentality and nobody is actually thinking for themselves. Do I need to post data again?
Tristan, I know you use a datalogger when you race, how much can your lateral 'G's tell you? What I am getting at here is there were claims that performance data doesn't mean anything which is not true.
What is true that unless you have tested each vehicle on the same day, at the exact same time, with the exact same conditions you will never get an exactly perfect picture. I realize that. But you honestly think that the results could be messed up so badly that the figures mean nothing? I think not.
You would have to take data from multiple tests taken over a period of time to get a perfect picture, but they do give a good idea on what the vehicle is capable of.
I know you all are past the point system question but I just wanted to add that YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW how it works because the idea is that people come on the server to race, not to get their licenses up to the extent that they try to get the 1 extra point for doing something they know will get them more points.
At least I woke some people up =) I enjoy TopGear but come on people do you really believe 1/2 of what they say? I take everything with a grain of salt. They are on TV for one purpose, entertainment. It's always good fun to watch people arsing around in cars, but jeez.
Since I pissed even more people off here are some facts about the stig. While these are not really facts just more rumor. Nobody really knows besides the TopGear crew.
"For the first two seasons, The Stig was Perry McCarthy, a former Formula One driver as well as a test driver for three F1 teams. A new Stig took over from McCarthy after the original Stig's "demise" at the beginning of Season 3. On the 18 March 2006 the former Stig, Perry McCarthy, revealed that currently there is no one single test driver, but multiple test drivers who masquerade as the Stig; he said this when he appeared at a Palmer Sport activity day in Bedfordshire, UK. Rumours have it that one of the new Stigs is Damon Hill and occasionally Colin McRae. And in January 2006, the Daily Express claimed that the identity of The Stig is former Formula 1 driver Julian Bailey."
You all can keep on believing your stupid American Stereotypes You are shown facts and don't believe them
Here is the GT1 Website. Ferrari has of this year Bumped Dodge off the top spot for Manufacturer wins, but then someone is bound to when Dodge pulled their funding on their GT1 cars and Dodge has not been competing since 2004. Dodge still has the top spot in the makes wins, that will probably change next year though too. It's taken 3 years for the other manufacturers to catch up though =)
:Nod: Never once have I heard of a division allowing the horn to be used as a distraction tool. Not saying it's not out there, but if they don they sure don't care to have a professional appearance
I know if I see anyone using their lights or horn in a manner other than a polite way to let other drivers recognize they are on the lead lap they will have a little message waiting for them when they log onto the server again. Not strictly against using it, but you better make sure your using it for the right reasons, and using it as a distraction is not one of them
Hehe =) It does show something, it shows that the Stig Can't drive, if he could he would be running real races =) Didn't they have an F1 driver show up and run a lap time 3 seconds quicker than the Stig?
You can't really believe much of anything on Top Gear. The show is for entertainment purposes only.
Well there is a Supercar Calender up here at work and the Viper is July's car. Right after the Ferreri 430 and before the Konegggzzkkke. It's all down to preference concerning Supercar status.
However saying that the vette has better handling than the Viper isn't accurate at all. The Viper comes with a tube chassis that is boxed in. The corvette comes with a unibody chassis. I had a chat with Dave the Crewchief for Cindy Lux that runs the GT Vipers in the States. Dave said that they orginally tried running the Vette but when they started pushing the car their whole setup went sloppy. This was because of the unibody and they switched to the Viper and since then have domintated the National GT races.
Here is a comparision from Edmunds of the 2008 Viper and Z06.
