Now for those of you that didn't notice, I was excluded from the race for corner cutting. I hope you all take note as I'm sure the moderators did this as an excellent example of someone pushing the rules to the limits and beyond and nothing to do with championship standings. I'm certain we will see more exclusions at Monza as there was more blatant corner cutting yet again, not me this time thankfully. After all the rules apply to all and cutting corners is cutting. Or are there different types of corner cutting, maybe if you didn't mean to cut a corner or you didn't do it to often, or no one noticed then its fair that you get away with it. Maybe rules only apply to some drivers while others can continue without worry.
I dont know, how am I supposed to know if I'm breaking a rule if its not always applied. Even more worrying, why was there no discussion by the mods on my cutting at donnington, after all I wasn't reported in an incident thread for it. And yet there is a thread 4 pages long being discussed by the mods on the corner cutting at monza, I find that very strange, surely the precedent has been set with my exclusion. Oh, and please don't take this the wrong way cuz I totally accept the exclusion, I broke the rules and paid the penalty. Would just be nice to see the field treated equally.

LOL TT, I wondered what the bloody hell was going on. U were at the rest stop when I arrived, my lap clock said 1:54 so I exit at 6:54...and u were still sat there. I thought, balls, Ive messed this up big time, then I see Dave and start thinking either he aint stopped or TT has ballsed up. Had a great scrap with TT in the 1st half and an even better scrap with Dave in the 2nd half. Was bloody awesome and some excellent driving. Cheers Dave and congrats on the win m8.

Think I can make it now. Installed the new car pack but server says car not available. I assume server hasnt been updated yet?
Also, reading the race procedures, can some1 clarify.... Is it ok to pit once you,ve done the mandatory 5 mins rest stop or do you need to exit pit lane and pit on following lap/laps?

Are these changes proposed to start at Donni in Jan 07 for the remainder on season 4? Would like to see what the Lister does and the Viper, but dont wanna waste time if new ballast aint coming in for a while.

Race starts and heading into T1 i start to brake and quickly realise that im on collision course with Locutus who seemed to brake fairly hard and early. So i flick the car off track to avoid hitting him. Lost 8 places and was furious with myself. Yeah, was a bit early, but cold tyres and brakes and I could see some1 was off ahead lead me to be a bit cautious. Learnt my lesson the hard way in previous seasons, you cant win on the 1st corner of the 1st lap... saw you in my mirror and thought "oh sh*t"" nice job of avoiding m8. Good race with some fun scraps. Then about 3/4 through got passed by Stnaskys viper, man that cars fast on the straight, was hard pressed to keep him in sight. 2 laps to go and Stnasky and Aagy have a coming together which I was hoping for, picked up the pieces and got home in 8th.

A couple of big stutters at key moments didn't help things though, and never had these before in a race Your not the only one Paul, stutter at times was aweful and I have a top spec PC and an 8mb down 256KB up connection! Most noticeable when people dropped off server but random other instances as well, made race almost impossible, come down the S/F str8 the FPS would drop from 200 to 26 as you hit the bottom of the hill, then became almost guess work to figure out where to turn in. Will not race Spa again on this server.

Was having a great fight with mojo and felt I was quicker. Decided to stop 2 laps earlier than normal and see if I could "pass him in the pits". Hit the pit request button, yeah come in next lap, did that and theres Will sat in the pit slot getting his stuff done. Oh s**t! Will went and I tried to get in the box, nothing! Aaaahhh, only option was to drive around again. Went from a comfy 3rd to 7th and really pi**ed off. Then on last lap Jamera (who had been watching me from TV cam) says my car froze just around the last S before the uphill drive, from my side all cars disapeared, crossed the line and was given 5th as result. Pretty sure I was in 7th.

Why should we have use our "free" car change if it is banned? Surely that would be an enforced car change, It's not our fault if it wasn't checked properly is it?
Would you prefer to lose the points from the first round? Thought not. You must've picked it knowing how much faster it was and that the disparity would be picked up, and I did put a warning in the race announcement that a car change penalty was highly likely. Yes Dave, you did say there would be a penalty for swapping cars, damn good idea I thought, but banning the GT2 doesnt mean I swapped cars, I have nothing to drive because you have changed the rules after the event. So what if we picked a car that was fast on the straight, its a pig everywhere else! You put the car in that catagory for people to choose and choose it they did. You cannot take away a car, then tell those who drove it they will have to use there free change to continue racing, thats like me parking up at the shops, you coming along and painting double yellow lines down the road, clamping my vehicle and telling me that this is now a zoned parking area, and by the way if you want to continue to drive you will have to pay the fine to get your car released! Now come on, be fair about this, ban the car by all means but either restart the season or allow us guys who drove it a free swap to have the advantage the rest of the league will have in being allowed to keep a free car change. Will have to figure out how to do a poll to ban Ruskus, hes way to fast too....(only joking Ruskus mate)

Installed, played for 1/2 hour, really wanted to give it a go, couldnt get into it at all, theres no sense of speed, my GTR car felt faster in the pit lane with the limiter on! Uninstalled and deleted. Will not be buying it.
