Hi all
Well after last Thursdays race last night was a bit of a shock. It was like a stock car race at some points! Had a great start but was hit from behind on the first bend and put back to 19th. Later I was hit and had my car damaged by somebody coming back onto the track at full speed without looking. I had somebody I was trying to lap racing me and holding me up and I had somebody overtake me by hitting me up the back and pushing me wide!
Had fun though and got 15th. A point on the board for Team Gentleman Drivers!

i had fun with this, i wasnt on the pace at all though. i had a few good battles with minis and done a few good passes, but after all the hard work i make stupid mistakes by missing my braking point and heading for the kitty litter. too many mistakes by me, but i had a clean race as far as contact, since i had never raced with most people here i didnt know what to expect.
i ll be racing next thursday defo, and try and get a bit more practice in before.

Please take the time to report all incidents so that all drivers involved can learn. The "Submit an incident report" link can be found underneath the race results table.

Well that was Garbage. I'm sitting at the 30 second countdown on an empty field, get to the green flag at an empty grid. Escape out, and everyone is still racing. I saw a message saying Blunder was booted, did anyone see if I got dropped before the race began? Kind of cheezes me off, as I made some time to attend the race and I was having fun in the mini Oh well. Maybe next week. Hi buddy!? Blunder would have been me! Sorry if I was the cause!? I downloaded the skin pack way too late but as I finished I saw the server was still showing qualify! So I joined but just before it finished loading all the drivers it threw me out! obviously as it had changed to the race.! Sorry!

I just recall seeing that you got booted, and thought the game messed up the message and meant to say my name.

If you don't see anyone on the grid, press + and -. (Plus and minus, possibly only on the keypad.) This will jump you into someone elses car and then back, and you should now see everyone. -+ works too :-)
Alternatively, though the other option is better, while the countdown is still going you can esc, click on the names of other drivers so the monitor switches to them, and then rejoin the grid.

I thought it would be safer for everyone involved if I stuck to RWD so changed to the Cortina!
I'm fairly sure a certain Baracus is pretty good in the Mini (win at Cadwell?). Fair enough But in my defence, I came in late as I was stuck with some work to do, and didn't have time to make that Mini setup more drivable, it was just lunging me off the track under braking in a really unpredictable way - Whoopsters setup is good everywhere else I tried it but not here!. FWD is so against my instincts anyway that I thought I would be better off learning in the race in a RWD car

A question for the moderators: What are the rules regarding post-race behavior? Ruskus was doing donuts as soon as the race finished.

Finish Procedure
* Each driver should continue racing until the simulation tells them they have finished. If you are not the leader, it is possible to cross the line after the clock has reached 0, and still have a lap to complete. * Drivers should not drive the wrong way round the circuit after they finish, or engage in other activity likely to lead to an in-game DQ. Drivers should endeavour to remain connected to the host until it cycles to the next event. This results in better quality data in the results exports.Basically don't interfere with people still actually finishing and try not to quit straight away, but other than that, the race is over so anything goes.
