Not sure if I will make it - about to post the continuing saga of my graphics woes in the other thread....
Just put the old card back in, need to reinstall drivers etc. Might make it, else I'll watch Racing Legends live...

Surely you need to do the honourable thing and take a slower car...

Good luck tonight guys. I can't race, I'm still having graphics issues (noting to do with the 60fps patch - it is the same with 36fps).
Hope I get it sorted for the start of season 28!!

..not really Clive. There was carnage at the start, carnage at T4? and ..somewhere else. I was having enough trouble with my poor frame rate, I didn't really need the carnage...or the red plate instead of a steering wheel, which I know affected other BT11 drivers judging by comments at start of the race... just wasn't my night..
Gents, a few of you posted comments about my graphics woes in iGor. I didn't want to distract people just before a race, so please see Brands thread and I'll talk to you tomorrow (Q1 is 'is my power supply good enough...).
...now off to watch the John Surtees story on restart.
*** check, it is now on BBC2 at 2215 !!! ***
Baab - hope you realised in qually that when I rammed you (slowly) after your spin, I was trying to help my teamie face the right way..
Enjoy all those still racing..

Screen freeze and why oh why have we not learnt a single thing regarding the spread of the grids. The last time we raced here at Syracuse in the 65's it was a disaster and so it was again tonight. From the moment people were slow off the line and people avoiding them had nowhere to go you just knew there was going to be carnage up ahead. Hopefully the "but we are supposed to be Pro drivers" mentality ends here and we get staggered grids even if those at the back cannot see the flag.
Edit. Starting grid rant now over.

avoided the lap 1 melee then got lost in the cow fields after being rear ended and launched over the barriers , took an age to try and find a way back to the track with no luck so had to s/r , after that and the subsequent pit in I was miles behind , decided to retire after trundling around on my own going nowhere Not a track I liked much , found it very hard to see the corner apex due to the track and walls being all the same colour . As for the 60 fps was OK other than in the hairpins where the graphics were strugling to keep up Grtas to the finishers and the podium chaps , you know who are  |

In all honesty, I'd forgotten how "tight" it was.  |

Sorry to hear guys, got disconnected 5 laps from the finish having a dominant lead. Initially drove away but made a mistake, and then it was hard to shake off Axel...nice track, had some FPS drops though now and then...

I chose a tall 1st gear, and it put me at a disadvantage for the start. I did not slow down enough for the 1st lap Melee. I bumped a car at a fairly slow speed, but the car rolled over and caught fire. Then on the second lap, I did not judge the distance to Bernie's car correctly, and I gave his car a massive shunt. I am sorry that I ruined your race. I was able to continue without a shift-r, but I gave myself a stop and go for a penalty. I will submit an incident report, and put myself at the mercy of the moderator. I was able catch two more cars, and I bounced off the wall both times when I tried to overtake. If this were real life, I would have damaged my car much more than in the game. I was able to finish in the points, but I can't get any satisfaction from it since I took out Bernie. I will put in some practice at Goodwood so that I will not make so many mistakes. Thanks for the race, Walter avoided the lap 1 melee then got lost in the cow fields after being rear ended and launched over the barriers , took an age to try and find a way back to the track with no luck so had to s/r , after that and the subsequent pit in I was miles behind , decided to retire after trundling around on my own going nowhere |
