Bit annoyed - I downloaded S2 P version to watch all my old replays and find that you can't unlock it anymore. What a pain.

So there is no way to view all the old replays anymore - it was long winded before, now impossible?

Pretty disappointed by this.

That wasn't a dig at you actually - it was more of a general post. Today (and yesterday) there seems to have been an influx of people who have made up fact in their heads about F1 and now believe them. Like the 1600hp qually engines (not that high). You're was just the one that got the sarcy comment on the bottom - no harm meant to you, honest

And be aware, typos can strike at any moment and any place. For example I may have typed auto downshifting earlier when I actually meant up shifting. That's what happens if you type quickly whilst grumpy. Will edit now [shame mode] Alothough I think some did have modes to shift from, say, 7th to 2nd for certain corners.

To be fair in F1 the rules change so many times (even throughout a season) that it is easy to misplace something as fact.

Have signed up.

I'm still up for this, but I will say that we shouldn't start something unless we are all committed, else there is no point.

Can you provide details on the server, one of us might take up the torch and pay for it.

Bugger....I wonder if DT has had enough of running the league?

By the way Tristan, you should definitely keep at it, don't leave the league on the back of a few bad results...stick at it

Quote from tristancliffe :

Braking? I don't brake into that corner (not braking thats worth the name, perhaps a quick dab and a lift). But to all intents and purposes that corner requires no braking.

Well, perhaps I should have said "deceleration zone"

On the other hand, TechAde was being closely followed and was in a tricky spot (and should have perhaps expected SOME kind of move), I think he should have taken a more defensive line into that corner. I think 'racing incident' sums it up nicely.

Quote from bobvanvliet :

Purely speaking from a CRC rules standpoint, Tristan was more than half a car length alongside (in fact, he was completely alongside) so he did have the corner. On the other hand, from the top-down view it looked more like Tristan driving into Techade than the other way around...

Besides, this is a high speed corner with little room for corrections and in the heat of a race, it's a mistake easily made so I'd just call it an unfortunate racing incident.

Edit: Spent a little too much time on this post, so it's a little redundant, sorry...

Having seen the replay, personally I think you shouldn't leave late braking quite that late. Tristans car wasn't alongside TechAde's until well into the braking zone.

I did a similar move later in the race and there was slight contact and I was firmly in the wrong.

It's good to have moments like this to cause healthy discussion.

Good racing, enjoyed both races.

Had a few good battles, one mistake with a lunge down the inside of Xero, almost lost control and slight contact, sorry about that one.

Kudos to TheJAG for the stats, nice one.

nil points

I quite like this GP too. Next week should be good, gonna get some praccy in early.

Quote from TechAde :

You should have joined anyway mate... there were only 11 finishers.

I did actually race for about 18 laps, but gish took me out (no worries mate ) and I was beached in the gravel. At that point, I had to call it a night.

Cheers for organising it DarkTimes, looking forward to a better race next week. The organisation caught me out a little bit as I mentioned, I thought we were going to have a 5 min break before racing, so I was shocked to be in the race grid so soon (I thought it was a mistake lol!). It's my own fault for clicking 'ready' then leaving my seat.

Meh

Not a good evening. First sprint race was ruined by someone who spun on the first lap on the straight and let their car roll backwards across the track at about 5mph .

Second race was ruined because I thought we were going to have a 5 min gap and start the race at 21:05 (teletext time lol) but as I just about left the room the race started so I missed the start.

I'll just defend myself before I'm cut - I am a fair driver, new to S2 but not to sim racing. Also - I was there for the practise last week and made the effort, and am 100% behind this league.

Don't cut me!! (please).

Quote from TagForce :

2 races? Faster drivers and slower drivers in seperate heats? That way everyone can race, and the races will be competitive.

Agreed, that would be best - if we can get enough people. To be honest, even if there's only ten in the slower division, it will still be better (more fun to race ten similar speed people than a race of 20 entrants, and only a handful similar in pace to me).

Also, I agree with the posts about the point structure. It might be better to have even more point scoring places, say, the first 14/15 finishers - this way there is a competitive element for the entire grid during the season. Otherwise, those guys who normally finish around 14th-18th will be able to have a competitive season, in place of being tied on zero points for the duration.
