Good practice race today.
I just finished watching the replay, and I noticed that Rasta crossed the pit exit line after his pitstop. Be careful not to do that next week during the official race. If anyone crosses the pit exit line it will result in a time penalty added to your finish time, which could potentially cost that person a finish position...depending on how close the finish is.
10.2 Crossing white or yellow lines when leaving the pit lane : adding 20 seconds on your finishing time.
Cya on the track

yes and it is a difficult one not to cross... I had a good practice yesterday ..until my graphics card went out of order.. Then it was game over, had to reboot 2 times and then concentration was all gone.. Just went to the supplier for repair.. my Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS will be gone for at least 3 weeks... Put replacement in it now Nvidia 8400GS.. went from 2xx frames (full view options) to 12 frames ( full view options) New with less view options I have 40 frames

went from 2xx frames (full view options) to 12 frames ( full view options) New with less view options I have 40 frames Welcome to my world! ;D Nah, it's not all that bad here. Normally 60+ when I'm alone on track, but it can drop to 20 in full grids on South City or Blackwood.

Thank you for noticing my exit from pit-lane! Too be honest i concentrate lesson the lines than on any other track! My times were not that good during practice. Had a problem with my foot pedal. Potentiometer inside pedal was playing up! I replaced the. Having removed the insides and attached to a different pedal system i have managed to fix the issue. I will be better during the race. Note about FPS issues:- Try disabling explorer application using task manager in windows, if you can do without it. You can recover about 10 fps there. Also check to see what services that might b running that you can safely quit. Also close all windows from the desktop. PS. You may no this already. For those who don't this will definitely help when running LFS. You can always start the explorer application again when you want to. see u at the race.

I go on the server and hope someone can pass me it there.

not a good night for me;
1st i messed up my 2 qualifying laps; then during the 1st lap, i had a small ecounter with ha,zi, and then with the wall. when getting closer to scatter the next lap, he started spinning, and i couldn't avoid him any more. damaged my suspension, and the car was very unstable in left hand turns. i couldn't drive fast anymore in the last section, and my tires where full of flat spots, so i gave up.

Why give up? All races can´t be perfect and this is a league and fun for everybody. You could still earn some points and it´s very valuable and important for a league that all participants do their very best.

It was a good fight Hanzi. I had a spin early in the race and I think there I picked up an engine damage, which gradually slowed down my car from a topspeed of 215 km/h to 211km/h like 0,5 to 1 sec slower per lap. This made it very difficult for me to chase liveforspeed.be and defend myself from your attack. I tried to take better lines and so, but it was not sufficient. Anyway, I had prepared a solid set and my tyres lasted to the end contrary to yours, which was fast but more instable and which lead to you puncture unfortunately. Nevertheless I loved our fight from the beginning, I saw you were chasing me. I think that fight lasted for 20 laps or so. very nice. I got a bit thrilled, when you had your puncture, because I had to go around you with all of my 4 wheels on the grass, but managed to control the car..but that could have been my end too.. Sorry for you Scatter, who had to leave the race so late in the race, because of landing on the roof. I think there were only missing 2-3 laps at that time and I can imagine how hard you have worked to get it that far.

so this is why you stopped chasing me you where faster than me at that time I think, but behind because of the traffic at turn 1. A farily regular race for me, very stable set (thanks sennaboy), I used r2 on front to be sure to drive the full race, and just had to manage the temperature of the rear wheels and cars behind me and be sure that Aerox could catch me before the end of the race, just to spare one lap congratz to aerox who taught us all a lesson for his first official race here (was it?) i hope next time there will be some of the bigger guys to play around with him !

Wow thanks Xtian! I am happy about my driving yesterday, i beated my pb during the race with a "race setup"! i was 1:42.xx regular during the whole first half race and finally 1:41.xx during the second half of the race.. And i cant believe it! in the last laps, my top speed was around 221km/h and 219km/h in the first laps.. maybe because i had a very little contact on my front wing with Rasta.. Good race all, see you on the track!

towzt : NEVER give up is out motto !!!! that' why we give 2 extra points for staying in the race to the end or drive at least 80% You took a lot of (to much) risk in the first and following corners ad I left enough space for us both but on the first chicane you hit me on the right and we were of.. I remind you that the race is never won in the first corners !!! So next time please be more careful, I know it is still racing, but destroy other racers effort in the process is not the way things are done.. so please download the replay if you don't have it and review you moves to learn from it. And the collision with Scatter was indeed not avoidable... but you could control the car more then enough to get it back to the pits, make the repairs and get a 5th place at least and even a 4th place, because I had my puncture just after the pits and had a very slow lap back to the pits for repairs, were I was stuck for long seconds on grid and grass.. Yes I had a good fight but when I was last after the collision in one of the first corners, I had to give it all to bring it back at Cramers rear wing. I saw i was 1 second/lap faster then Cramer and 0.5 second faster then Xt.. so without the collision maybe 2nd place was possible.. Although I don't know how much XT was driving to the edge or played it save... So indeed on a come back of at least 20 laps I had cramer back in front of me and saw that indeed his top speed was a lot lower then mine.. during the other corners he made his car as wide as the track and it was not possible to pass him there safely (another tip for Towzt ) so I managed to put my car under his rear wing at the beginning of the straight and 3rd place was mine. My R2's in front then have had it and when I was trying to put in a save gap between me and cramer before taking it easy to the end, I had a blown tyre in T1. Was stuck on a number of corners in the grass and gravel, luckily I was able to get it back to the pits and out before Rasta could claim my 4th place. So after all a good race with a good fight, just to bad for the L1 collision...
