Thats odd, according to your stats, you have never even done a lap on BL GP, neither normal or reverse.

I was racing on one the CTRA servers, on SOtown Rev. I haven't played the reverse of many tracks for some reason. Anyway I got to the last lap, and got a run on somebody out of the hairpin onto the main start/finish straight, and egded alongside him round the final little right hand curve. Coming outta' the kink the other guy drifted across track slightly and gave me a little touch, giving me a bit of a tankslapper. I didn't bother controlling it as I was only ~20m from the line so I just let it spin across the line....... only to come to halt and wonder why I hadn't finished.....then realised that 'the line' was actually the start/finish line for the 'normal direction' track I'm used to racing on, the finish for the rev layout is another 100m up the road....Doh!!

Yeah..!!!

I mean, there's NO WAY he could have been playing single player...nope.

Quote from Btoryo :

Was in first place in the SR Racing servers with FOX AS2 Last lap I was winning and ran out of fuel about 500 feet from the finish line. Although the 2nd place guy had a magnificent lead over the others and gave me a push and took 2nd. That's what I call true sportsmanship One of the nicest guy ever although I forgot his name

Yes, there are some great guys out there when it comes to sportsmanship. I ran out of fuel on the ctra-1 sever all of 500 feet from the line (i was in like 2nd) ... when 3rd passed me and finished, he asked if I was out of gas...then pushed me across so i got my points I ended up like 8th, but still finished on lead lap...so i got a few points...better than none.

In a thirty lap league race a while back, I fought hard from eighth up to second, only to flip the car on a curb two laps from the end.

Most embaracing that must be the ORT summereving compettions for me

What happened?:

I was in 5th place in the last lap when the force feedback of my wheel staled the wheel goes straight again i crashed taking the intire grid behind me with it

Quote :

curbs made my wheel wobble a bit, the wobbling twitched my desk, and the DVI cable slipped out of my monitor

That's happened to me before. Except it was a VGA cable.

Was in lap 7, going into 8 (final) on start-finish, oval 3man draft with Plaztik & Failure, like 10000 times before. I had some nice draft on the straight, turned left (what else), to pass both through turn one, when a huge moth out of nowhere decided to land on my right hand - resulting in a WHATTHE****-scream and and a manouver that took out all three of us later that night i spent like 10 minutes cooking that biatch with my lighter and thinking about where on this planet they would eat it, now that it´s become krusty/crispy/youknowwhatimean

I think i win this with my STCC Round 1 failure

I led the race for all but one lap - set the fastest lap in every heat and the race, won every heat etc - i dominated!

I'd got a rediculous number of laps under my belt, and i came into the last corner and my wheel recalibrated, sending me *into* a nice SO Apex where my car stopped and the guy behind me overtook - i did a J-Turn as fast as my embarrased face would let me, but it jsut wasn't enough!

:P Hard luck mate

Mine (and I haven't had very many) was on the TE server, racing with Niall and Shaggy, we were in UF1s, last lap, I'd been in a T1 scrap, 3 red suspension meters on forces view, Shaggy came past me, I tried to block him, missed and ended up spinning to a halt.

Quote from EmilO :

10 lap race. Thought i had driven 10 laps and gona make a stylish finish by spinnig around and so.


It was lap 9.

hahaahahaha, LOVE the dry humour there Emil haha

I once lost a rallycross race because my cat jumped on my crotch with her claws out.

Team mate rear ended me on last corner of Blackwood Rally, I was lapped him one corner earlier. Were I last or 2nd last, team mate could continue quite well and finished race many positions earlier while I was finding out where I were coming and what direction to go...

I must confess that at that time I was not able to stay very calm

Oh yes, 15 lap race :P

Think it was a LX4 race at westhill. Don't remember the lap count.

Anyway, I were leading by a mile (wow), were through the last corner, gotten my speed well up on the start/finish straight. Think I were just a couple hundred meters from the finish line ... then I got disconnected. Would have been my first win on the CTRA X system if I remember correctly.

Well, it wasn't emarassing since it wasn't my fault (though I could have been faster, lol) but I just had to write it. hehe

I remember other one, however not in LFS .

We had friendly race between other simracing team, can't remember even what track it was, but I had been too hard to my tires and they had melted few laps ago, guy behind me was closing up, but last 2 laps situation had been same, perhaps he had trouble with tires too, however to keep distance I had to push pretty hard.

So final corner comes, it was tigh 90 right then 90 left chicane that could not be driven straight, I had around 10 second gap to guy behind me, and I thought that better keep it that way and floored it tiny bit too early and lost tail on left hander, shiiiiiite.
Quick tap on brake, same time shifting 2 gears down and flooring it again, perfect 360 degree spin and tires burn as I accelerate towards finish line that I see good 100meters ahead.
50m to finish line, uh oh guy behind me is right behind me
25m to finish line, now his front bumper was left side of my door, praying engine to last and taking every last rev out from it I pushed towards finish line, but no help, he won by 5cm or so, damn that it felt good loss and my car was absolutely rubbish after that, but very enjoyable race it was

I loose races all the time. Not embarrassing, I've gotten used to it.
but one time I did run out of fuel on the last lap and was left only a few car lengths from the finish line. But it wasn't a problem, I was second last anyway!
So there's a saying for ya!
"There are no embarrassing loses, if you aren't winning in the first place!"

We were racing foxes on the Redline servers. I was in second position behind one of the regulars there. He was faster in the first sector and I was faster in the last; I had to brake to avoid hitting him on the last turn on most laps. On the last lap, I decided to drop back a bit, so that I could get a clean run through the last turn. This worked perfectly, and I overtook him on the exit of the turn. My only miscalculation was the width of the rear wheels. Our rear wheels touched and this sent us both spinning. He spun over the finish line and I was thrown over the pit wall, where I was black flagged for breaking the speed limit, whilst sliding on my head...

First Vixen Challenge. Last race of the season (Aston National), I was champion after the qualifying so I took it easy for the race. Then at the end of the feature race the car became really really fast so I wanted to push. Did some pb laps. But the very last lap I pushed too hard in T1, causing me to go off.. Luckily I still got 2nd, but what a stupid error, stupid me..

whats weird... ive raced tons of times there with many people

in a league race 2 laps before end, lap 28 of 30. fern bay green last chicane, lag clipped the tyres on the right before turn to hoe straight. bounced high, came home 4th by luck.

one leauge race AS national in the FZ5, i wasnt winning probably in the top 10 of our top div and i was really needing a toilet break, i had already made my pitstop (ingame one lol) so i pulled over at last hairpin and went to the toilet came back and i was in last
another time on a fun layout (was embarrassing for the other bloke not me) on bw there was a jump just b4 the finish line coming over the hill around the kink, i went over the jump in my GTI and started rolling towards the finish another guy on his wheels going flatout in his GTI was racing me to the line and i beat him rolling down the hill

I think it was the 6 lap race with UFR/XFR on SO Town, had an incident, ended up last, everyone else had incidents, so I came up to 2nd and had a smaller fight with the number 1, he was faster than me. However, I managed to pass him on the last lap and the last turn, the long left hander right before start/finish, so the win should've went to me, but for some reason I decided to reach for my keyboard to press F1, to make a smiley, and this was the reason to why I lost control over the car and went right into the barrier, and flipped the car over to the roof and slided towards the finish line, I didn't slide far enough though so.. DNF. But at least I had fun. :]

Well, I was leading a CTRA race yesteday in the XRG, and led for 3 laps... last lap.... WAY ahead... I spun on T2... and then got hit by second place and everybody else as I tried to get out of there.
