I've got a work commitment for this one I'm afraid ... gutted, been watching footage of the GT's round there this weekend and was well up for it.

My full time status isn't going too well, problems with the last race, work with this one, and missed the first round as the missus was having our baby (fair enough tho!)

Hopefully I'm not preventing anyone racing with the increased server capacity these days.

This is of course assuming I can get it home in my totally unsuitable, impractical car. The Mrs may have to do the 10 mile walk home so it can sit on the passenger seat.  :angel:

Absolutely pissed off to the max now. >:( >:( >:(. F***king Logitech crap.

I Noticed that during qually I got slower and slower. I checked ingame and controller was getting to 80% only. So I started up Dxtweak but had no idea what to set the value to. Tried both increasing as decreasing, but none worked.

During race I was overtaken on the straight like I was standing still, so I had to give up. No use crawling around like that.

Very close to breaking this piece of crap in two. That G25 better come soon and be good, or else this DFP is gonna get used for flight sims, in which it we have a leading roll as being the flying object itself.

Setup was a bit too loose for my driving style (seemed fantastic for others tho :-[ )
Had so many offs with the back end flying out from under me that I couldn't go on putting everyone in danger - after nearly taking out Picnic I thought it best just to park it - my apologies again dude!

Nightmare of a qual and race, just one of those nights.
Collected SBG on lap 1 or 2 as he spun across the track, sorry mate just couldnt avoid you.
Had 2 silly spins which wiped out both the front and back of the car, dont think there was a straight panel left on it.
Nearly took pops out in T1 as I braked to late, sorry mate, god knows how I managed to miss you ! Even tried to press the esc key but missed it.
Overall one of my worst efforts for a long time, glad thats out the way.

I had a very good race .......until

10 minutes before the end of the race I was in 2nd Pos !
and suddenly my rears were gone ! temps were in the 95s, no overbreaking, they just were gone, dunno why !
so I had for the last 10 mins a very oversteery car ! no way of keeping it on track !
but that`s racing.....so I ended up 11th having heavy troubles with the tyres !

I could scream, but I can not change it at all !  ;D ;D

Well It was all good for me. Had a crash to desktop but even that was after the race ;D
Thanks most of all to TT for the setup he gave us :thumbup2: First time me tyres didn't melt in a NGT ;) Was surprised to qually 5th with a PB and then the race went far better than expected. Thought I'd cook the tyres and just spin around everywhere. I span twice but that was 'cus I got a bit excited with the brake/throttle. Finally coming to terms with the fact you need a little bit of both to corner smoothly.Just goes against my GT instinct ;D Had some nice little mini battles in the race but I had to laugh at the end, it reminded me of ten pin bowling and Shark was the ball. I just managed to squeeze through a gap in the carnage but Shark wasn't so lucky. Bad luck mate :( Was great to be in the action  in the NGT's everyone drove great from my perspective O0
Grats Mo and cheers TT :)

Congrats to the mighty Mo. On top of a very classy pile. He's a Krawler you know.

.Collected SBG on lap 1 or 2 as he spun across the track, sorry mate just couldnt avoid you.

Bugger, I thought I was at fault and let you all back through  :). Prolly was me and no worries mate.

Cause of that I lost contact with the same old faces and found some great fun with some new ones. Great fun with Flybri and BigG. Mind you, don't know who was off more often ;). Great that we all avoided each other at all costs  :notworthy:.

Only did tonight cause race elsewhere was cancelled but you may see me more often after that. Must do a bit more GTR practice though.

I had an awful first lap slipped back to last place made it up P15 with 10 min to go (thanks picnic) crashed and after that the car was uncontrollable real unstable on the brakes and the power. congrats to MO on the win and a good race to watch with TT on the monitor.

Post by: Pedro[PL] on July 11, 2006, 10:27:12 PM +0100
I am glad my driving is getting better after my long break from sim-racing. Qualified 2nd with a nice 1.26.xxx just behind Mo. Funny, I wasn't happy at all as I am still not 100% comfortable with close racing. Fortunately T1 was smooth and I slowly started to warm tires and wave my back at Rich_A trying to overtake me. I knew he would succeed as my consistency is not yet there and should have let him go. Blame the devil inside - I increased my pace and after several one-wheel-sand-sprays ended spinning my way off the track.

Rest of the race was quite smooth, yet my pace was gone. Apart from one tiny off-track event, all the driving was smooth. Note to all Radeon users - if you use the Catalyst drivers - stop! I have just reinstalled my system and decided not to install DNA drivers. Strange - even though framerate counter showed 70fps the gameplay was not smooth. Turning the rear view mirror helped a bit, but it is quite a necessary thing while racing - true Jamera?

Last corner, right before the end of the race was a bit diseaster. Lapped Jamera didn't notice me overtaking him (4 corners in a row... hope this was not a revenge for Anderstorp) and on a s-f line hit my causing spin. For a moment me and Shark who was following me had a duo-spin reminding the one from Mission Impossible 2 (pity Shark is not that pretty :D). Lucky bastard ended up standing in the right direction...

Nevertheless - finishing 7th is not that bad. Nod that bad at all.

Thanks Picnic.
A great race for me, starting on pole and making it to the end with no mistakes, definitely my most consistant run so far :)
I was expecting pressure from Rich who I had been precticing with the other night and he was doing great times. But just in the dying moments of qual Pedro sneaked in a lap to put himself between me and Rich.
When the race started Pedro and Rich must have kept each other busy which allowed me to pull away and then just concentrate on bringing it home. Tyre temps were good for the duration and I only had one moment where I got the right rear on the grass on the triple left hander, but just held it.

Bad luck Ruskus on the momo, I had the same pedal probs after a few months and eventually binned them - absolute rubbish design :beta1:

As always excellent driving by the lapped cars, I always knew which way to go, alot of experience on the grid at the moment 8)

Fiercely competitive stuff 8) Hopefully I brought it home for a point ;D

The tap I got at the start didn't help my cause any and left me at the back of the pack (nothing new there anyway)
Blistering pace by everyone and the hardest championship by far me thinks.

Slight apologies to 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc, for not letting you through as quickly as I maybe should have done, I was engrossed in my own battle trying to nip Picnic at the end for the final point or 2.

Another up and down race. Unbelievable times in qualifying saw me only 10th on the grid with TrueTom in his usual place looking at my arse.

Early on I again fell off just after the swing out the right over the white lines. Luckily I didn't hit the barrier and ended up pointing the right way having hit no one and only lost 7 or so seconds, unfortunately for me quite a few places though.

Near the end managed to work my way up to 3rd ?!?!? with other people going off too and so on. I was right on TrueToms tail when we caught some traffic and that really bunched myself, Truetom, MarkGP and JonM up together. On the short right hander after the big swing out of the white lines we were all running together, nothing major in terms of lock ups or what not and suddenly my back end swung round. Very very odd, I did not lock wheels and was driving smooth and slowish behind Truetom. It was like the rear suspension broke or I hit an invisible bollard or something. That annoyed me as I had done nothing wrong to deserve it and it lost me a potential podium.

Last lap and there was a pileup out the last corner. Not very clever.

Excellent win Mo, outstanding pace.

If you got stutters I discovered that Hi-Rez cars make stutters occasionally, even on my 512mb card!! I use low rez for racing and hi-rez for replays ..

Check here http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=186926 and here for orientation rate fix http://forum.rscnet.org/showpost.php?p=2295107&postcount=17 .. if you use this it affects world movement and g-force and best settings I found are about 25% world movement and 12% g-force.

Also anti virus programs can cause stutters.

Good race, did a PB in quali but was a scrappy lap. Knew my race pace was good, was pestering Pedro for a while until he spun .. was holding 10 seconds to Mo but then I got flipped by that fast chicane with the funny undulations. Went off into gravel trap, bumped the wall and waited for the dreaded 'Yea, looks like your splitters gone, yea your splitters gone,' but it never came thankfully - car didn't feel the same but managed a few 1m28's and finished somehow in 4th !! No sign of GTNDC for this one !!

I'll be verrrrrry interested to see what you think of that monitor Shark, been thinking of taking the widescreen plunge for a while :)

Well after taking the secret compartment out of the boot of my car (the bit with the jack and so on), I managed to squeeze it in and with a bit of force close the boot lid, drive home (including wife).

Fantastic monitor. Ignoring the widescreen aspect, the quality over my old monitor is noticable. Looks great. Widescreen, very cool indeed. So useful for Photoshop to be able to fit the entire car on one screen and racing games have that extra peripheral vision now with the extra width, very useful.

Dare I use an 'orrible phrase, "it's the dogs bollox". So far, VERY pleased with it and a worthwhile upgrade.

Yeah, Sorry Don, that was me, just a slight tap and round you went, wanted to say Real sorry then, but did not want to break the rules, felt guilty, after that was fighting for 12th for a long time, it seemed that there was always somebody to race, even after small small spins, which helped, but with 2 laps to go I lost it, hit the wall, and that was bye bye for me. Cheers for the fights SBG, FlyBri and forgot the other guys, opps sorry.

Sorry again Don. I WILL FINISH A RACE!, I WILL,  :D PMSL

It's not the stuttering - the framerate is constant, yet it feels like 30fps rather than 70. DNA helped me last time. My card is X800XT PE 256MB ram.

Lol Jon, it was as we talked about before the race: I will wait for other ppls mistakes. And it happened. Qualified 11th right after Sharks wide arse  ;D

Then I was just driving and all the ppl went off. For 20 minutes I was following Grinsomat with M@rko constantly pressuring behind. Fortunately my F360 had enough power on the straights, though there were some tense moments where I didn't know if he'll make a move or not. Was looking into rear mirror, almost missed the braking points several times.  ;D

After Grinsomat spun M@rko started to push and I had to close at the corners to keep him behind. Very good driving M@rko, very fair and patient. Must see that replay, yes Whit, it must have been interesting to watch. Then (finaly) a bunch of others closed on M@rko and he had enough to do and I could make a BIG gap of 1 second.  ::) Then Shark overtook him, spun and it was M@rko again. Tyres were going and I had to slow down, conserve tyres for quick exits on the straights. Then timer stopped but I had to go another full lap as Mo was so far infront to have crossed the s/f line before the time passed. So, in that last lap my concentration was failing and I almost lost it in the last corner. Had to close on the s/f line to come 2nd.

Great race M@rko, Grinsomat and Shark. Too bad you couldn't push more Jon.
Grats to Mo for the win. But I feel almost the same as I would win.  ;D

Surely - but please notice I am not mad with Jamera. I will not report the incident as I have joined the season just last race and points are not really important to me this time. Let's see if the rest of the drivers who suffered will be that kind. So - Ginsters, if you feel offended - please rethink. Nevertheless a blue flag is a blue flag.

Btw. Jamera - my words were meant to be funny. I guess joking in a foreign language is not that easy after all and I should have used a :D sign after the "mirror" part. Better luck next time m8.

Post by: Simon Gymer on July 12, 2006, 09:54:49 AM +0100
ALL incidents should be reported.

It doesn't matter whether points matter or not, it's about trying to improve driving standards, not finger pointing or nae-saying. We're all adults here and we should be able to learn how to improve both our driving standards on the track and how we treat each other off the track.

It is always important to never accuse anyone of anything. The replay and circumstances can paint a completely different picture to what it looked like from any given cockpit.

In this particular incident I urge you to look at the replay of this incident as you will change your mind pretty quickly about what happened.

In addition on each of the race results pages there is a "Submit an incident report" link conviently placed at the bottom of the page. This will take you to a nice incident reporting form for that particular race and you can select who was involved, the time etc etc.

So if you go to the results for this race for instance...
https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?ind=lm2&event=131
There is a "Submit an incident report" link at the bottom you can click on.

It's a help to the moderators to use this way of reporting incidents as it formalises it better for them to deal with.

Gizmo posted about this here...

I must agree with you. My idea of not reporting was wrong. What I wrote before about driving and blue flags was written in a good faith - I didn't want to finger point anyone, just to remind that using a rear view mirror and obeying blue flag is a must when racing.

I have submitted the incident report and hope this will help us all improve for future races.

LOL last week I used the "report this post to moderator" to submit a report. ::)

I know, that's why I retitled the lnik from "Report to moderator" to "Report post to moderator". As soon as I saw it I realised how the confusion arose. :D All part of the continuous improvment here at SRou Towers. ;D

Sounds like i missed a fun race  :'(....and my sparring partner TT has gained to within two points  :fencing:....damn, and i will be away for the next meet at Estoril, one of my strongest  :'(...gutted at not being able to defend my place, already dropped from 6th to 9th through missing this one :(
At least my falling off the track wish came true for a couple of close rivals in Greg etc.  :P

Shark...which w/s monitor did you buy in the end?...been thinking of buying one for a while but have held off. They have dropped to good lower prices for 19's now. 8)

ALL incidents should be reported.

It doesn't matter whether points matter or not, it's about trying to improve driving standards, not finger pointing or nae-saying. We're all adults here and we should be able to learn how to improve both our driving standards on the track and how we treat each other off the track.

It is always important to never accuse anyone of anything. The replay and circumstances can paint a completely different picture to what it looked like from any given cockpit.

In this particular incident I urge you to look at the replay of this incident as you will change your mind pretty quickly about what happened.

I must agree with you. My idea of not reporting was wrong. What I wrote before about driving and blue flags was written in a good faith - I didn't want to finger point anyone, just to remind that using a rear view mirror and obeying blue flag is a must when racing.

I have submitted the incident report and hope this will help us all improve for future races.

My incident reported as well just to keep everything "koscher" (pardon the pun!)  ;D

ViewSonic 20.1" VX2025wm. 1680x1050 resolution.

The 19" are only  :) 1400x900 (approx).

The quality of this ViewSonic is great compared to my old Acer, so it's worth buying a slightly better manufacturers panel imho.

i started 7th.  Got by Locutos first lap when his car snapped sideways horribly at T1.  I had a Mistake too at the last turn on the opening lap when my car speared off into the kitty litter, dropped from 6th to 10th.  I was kickin myself..

Then put my head down and quickly caught back up with the car in front, which was TT.  TT you thought i was being patient, i was m8.  I had gone from 10th to 4th just for being stuck to your bumper lol, so it was going well for me and i didnt want to risk your race and mine with a dodgey pass.

Second half things where heating up when Shark and Jon M was closin in.  As soon as shark got close, i made a mistake and he got thru.  Very tense !!  Luckily for me shark spun, unlucky m8.  TT held on for 2nd, welldone ya kept a very coolhead But for me it was my best result in UKGTR to date so im really pleased. 

crongrats aswell to Mo for the race win.

cheers mark
