One stupid Q from a native Swede born with a strange language far from english
Read this in the ingress of this tread:
"-Ability to race predictably on R2 or R3 slick racing tires (tyres) at KY1"

Are both spellings of tires/tyres correct ... had that Q in my mind for a long time. I suspect the UK guys will tell me one answer and the US guys another ....
... and the Aussies a third maybe :-)

Also encourage all drivers to read this post on the NDR forum:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1770055#post1770055
Then taking a minute and thinking it over ...

"Tire is the preferred spelling in the U.S. and Canada. Tyre is preferred in most varieties of English outside North America."

Couldn't have been put much better

OK, then I know, usually I write it as tyre so i might as well stick to that
Are there any skins regulation or can we use whatever as long as the number match, as in the Indy race some weeks ago?

So if I crash on the Quali, I should not go to spectate mode before an admin advice me to do so?

No either drive to pits a safely as possible or park at the side and wait for a admin to allow you to rejoin.

Well was fun to break away with martin and Ramon! was fun. Didnt expect u to pass me ramon, was hoping to fight with u later not there... then lag got me and Jarda and then mr koreny thinks i hit his car...

Wouldn't it be nice to have a race discussion thread for once? Even maybe a practice session one possibly? If I read any more insults to anybody on these threads there will be implications including but not limited to a suspension from Realistic NASCAR Events. This henceforth will be applied to post race discussions on the server chat as well.

Not only that, but the thread will be closed as well.

It was a good race by me blauhoff and kapal. thats all

Please when there is no signal '' last lap before restart, assume double file possitions, why not give eachother space, why the rush?, where do u think ur going anyway!! My only goal in those laps is to get them behind me safely, really nothing can be earned there but a crash! Keep distance.. THINK ffs.

Here's the replay for this practice session

(This may take a few to upload, but it shouldn't be long)

Thanks Admins for a fun event
... but why is there always nagging and harsh language on the chat after the race ... take that in the protest tread guys after watching the replay ... things are not always what they seems to be from your position in your car so it's no meaning arguing 1 min after the checker flag has dropped.
Really like these event with required practise events, much more fun out of the event then . And hopefully the actual race will be done on a higher driver standard then

I got one Q to the admins.

I think I was side bumped out of track at the first 2 PC laps. (Haven't seen replay so I don't know for fact)
I just continued at the very end of the field this time, but can I reclaim my position in a case like that (IF I consider I'm not to blame for the incident)?
How do I reclaim my position?
Should I ask for perm to speak on the chat?
Or just drive back to my original position?
