(I'll try to be there but it depends if I can get my PC hooked up or not).

Very well made indeed - although I don't like the blueish-tint.

(Looks like everything about the iTCC is turning into gold The events, the intros, highlights and trailers ).

Quote from J@tko :

On the fixed set-up theme, I think that the sets are near enough to each other anyway, people might be a tad quicker in a straight line and then slower in the corners. In a single-car series, it gives you that little advantage that you can utilise to get past people.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. In South City I didn't stand a chance because I was ~3 - 5 km/h slower on the straights than anyone else. On the other hand I received a 'very good' setup for Fern Bay - and drove the fastest lap in session 3 there. I'm not sure what would've happened if I had such a good setup for all races. So it can still make quite the difference

What I'd like to see are heavier penalties for avoidable crashes under yellow flags and of course chatting while the grid is being sorted.

The video-editing is very good. But from my point of view the interaction between the audio and video (especially regarding the drums) could be better - and would probably also give the video a bit more tension.

Still - it's an amazing video.

Congratulations to all participants and especially the top 3. Amazing job guys!

I don't like the washed-out colours that much but apart from that it's a very good video. The camera angles are exceptional.

Quote from [no]Kill :

Second, just a warning regarding price money. It is a very bad idea to have a personally price in a team competition, such as GTAL. That will totally ruin the team spirit.

True words. It also goes against the term 'amateur league'.

Quote from RiGun :

That poor UFR is gonna get ass raped :P

What do you mean? I was pulling away! At least in the hairpins

On a side note: The track was pretty short - and caused some major head trouble when you had this in your mirrors:

Much obliged!

I'd like to thank the Admins & Commentators for their effort & good organization. It was, once again, a lot of fun and I can't wait for next year.

And again a big, big 'thank you' to the GT1 & GT2 cars as well as the lapping nGT's - that's how racing should be!

And last but not least: Unless there's some major error, it looks like iCON racing made it to the top 10 - considering the amount of practice we had (not that much) it's really great and I'm currently in a state of bliss (and hallucinations because of lack of sleep).

Is it possible that the tracker garbles the laps up a little? I pitted the first time in lap 39/40 - but it's telling me I did so in lap 35/36.

Quote from CSF :

Yeah think that was us, GT1 tried to squeeze through and make it 3 wide for no reason.

It was a racing incident And no harm was done anyways so it's all good.

Hats off to the GT1 & GT2 drivers on server 1. It's very fair and a real pressure. (Although I did get pushed off in one chicane, which was however due to the fact, that a GT1 a GT2 and an nGT tried to go through it at the same time. It almost worked ).

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Didnt know that Joe Keaveney and Darren Taylor were coming from Ukrania

My fault I most probably used UKR - instead of GBR or something.

Quote from exspeed :

The currently running stream is really laggy but quality is fine. Can't get the lag off?

It doesn't seem like lag to me. It seems more like the host machine is too slow.

I sadly can't be there but maybe Tom, Joe or Tobi can be there. If not: Is is possible to post the replay afterwards? I assume the starting procedure will be similar to last year?

Nicely done indeed!

(You can increase the volume of the commentator audio track while applying a low-pass filter to it. That way it should be more audible without having those nasty high-pitched spikes in it. Seemed to work for me).

377 sent.

Quote from Fuse5 :

Sorry, not this time :P
GT1 time

Aww. I hoped I could bribe you into driving a little slower Troy is being awfully fast again!

Quote from Fuse5 :

so was UFR pole :P

Will you be joining the UFR-team again?

The XFR seems to be easier to drive though than the UFR (at least through the eau-rouge). I didn't test it much though because we decided on the UFR pretty early (there's nothing like a speeding Mini).
