Music is back on your vid. Would like to hear the cars too though! ;D Yeah, was a crazy race alright. Had fun though trying to get used to the BF1. Need to get a strategy together for next Sunday. I finished the race with almost 50% fuel lol. Started with 100%, then coming up to my first forced pit due to Haziboy reversing into me after a crash in the tight section wrecked my rear suspension, I increased the amount of fuel to be added using F12, it was at 0%, added to much which gave me 100% fuel again, lol. I know it was a "test" race but if half the front runners get wrecked in a pile up, surely it does not need to be restarted. Isn't that what the SC is for? I understand there was a lot of drivers involved but they can all continue, it's not like their race was over. If half the field got caught up in T1 with the front runners getting clear I'd imagine only the SC would be called, not a red flag/restart. Also, if someone leaves the server, then returns and joins the race, they should NOT get involved with or challenge other racers, no matter what the circumstances and certainly not cause a SC situation. I'm sure if I left the server and joined again in frustration, then started holding people up and racing, I would surely get a warning, if not kicked out. So yeah, that's my little rant over, hehe. I did enjoy the racing though and look forward to next week when I will hopefully have a strategy, lol. Btw, sorry about last weekend. Ireland got some good weather, it's gone now so I think that was our summer lol, so I brought the family to a lake for some fishing. Well I fished, the boys threw stones and the misses sun bathed, haha. Anyway, cya Sunday! Or maybe for some practice on the server during the week.

to U4IK ST8, if there is a big pileup or a lot of damage in real F1; a restart i given; but indeed nothing bout this in the league rules The rule is indeed NO restart EVER.. but since this was a test race I wanted to have as much racers online as possible, because as showed we needed the practice. And instead of trying to drive the fastest lap out there this week , try to have as much 5 laps races as possible.. I know you all are fast.. but keeping it all together during the first corners is to much to ask it seems. So U4IK ST8 in a way you were right and during the race next Sunday this can only result in a Sc procedure. Restart is out of the question. And U4IK ST8 can you give me a lap where I hit you... I can not find it.. I just can find a replay where I over cooked it after the restart, but that was only a kiss, not larger then the kiss you gave me in the same corner during Lap 1. And the damage you have is already done before.. But I guess I'm watching the wrong moment.. The only one I guess I hit hard was Jyeutsch during a SC procedure. were he comes to a complete stop and I could not avoid him anymore. And I had another close call with SLO_Knucles were we were next to each other and I mist the turn goiing straight. But as told.. mare race practice is needed, less hot lapping !!.

Also, if someone leaves the server, then returns and joins the race, they should NOT get involved with or challenge other racers, no matter what the circumstances and certainly not cause a SC situation. I'm sure if I left the server and joined again in frustration, then started holding people up and racing, I would surely get a warning, if not kicked out. I agree, The rules allows a frustrated driver to rejoin, but i think he should be very careful not to disturb. When I look at Sennaboys Safetycar call. I find it odd, that he ask for a SC without really trying to go to pit himself. Yes, the car was pretty wrecked, but he was just in front of of the pit entry..And also what you said....he hold people back during the race and that is wrong. Several times i was up 2 cm from his rear and he just tried to drive away all the times (he had blue flag)..untill one time it causes a crash among us. I don´t understand that behaviour, which more looks like frustration over a bad start than anthing else. Sennaboy, I know, you get fed up with all criticism you get from race to race,, but you really make it hard for other people not to critisize you. Tell me also why you passed all the safetycar row of cars (and with a lot of speed). You know it is forbidden. The ironic thing about this is, that the crash you were involved in the start, was your own mistake..nobody hit you. But you immediately get frustrated and stop racing.. you should just continue and think .."nuts happens!"...then you can see in replay later on what really happened. I´m saying this as a friend, because i hope you can control your temper a little better in the future.

always the same, always giving critics to my adres never see that you all say somthing about your own driving style fxcking noobs.when i look what the hell some racers hase doing this sesson during the races and nobody say a word of it, well then i ask by myself, why i will do the best i can to drive it all clean and helping people with sets tips ect..;;..before you shoot at ONLY ONE RACER (me) begin by your self and look if you always drive that fair and clean, so if you do then you can speak.you are all lucky that i can't make video's like xtian did, or you will see why i'm pissed of.
greets sennaboy

Good: Then see the replay of my driving and tell me the mistakes i made. Then do the same with your own car and tell me how many mistakes you make. I mean rule breaking mistakes. Tell us with times on the replay so we can see what you find. Don´t tell me that this is too hard a job. I do it every week as admin for the TDRT Danish Racing league. for 3-4 drivers each time, whole qulify and the whole race. The problem is that you don´t listen to criticism. that´s why you get it over and over. Try to listen. You just play your own game. This is a league race, not a pick up race at demo server, where they say "fxcking noobs" all the time, as you just did. Or make it simple. Admit that you drive more with your temper, than your head.

I have now heard and read a lot of reactions, The biggest problem is the preparation to such difficult race. Sywix and LFS Lapper are good to know you are making progress and that your driving a good setup. The BIGGEST disadvantage of that system is that a lot of you out there have 1 goal only.. Be fastest in that list. So when coming online we all drive individually out of the way of other people so the guy would not mess up my new fastest lap. Then on Sundays we have the race. And people get surprised collisions happen I'm not. For most of the guys it is the first start with other drivers around you with this combo. And for a lot it is the first time they come out with a full fuel tank and cold tyres.... With that kind of preparation it is normal and it will be in the future to have such dramatical starts. So because this is a difficult combo to race, I will disable the qualify mode on the server. And set it to 5 laps races. This has 2 advantages : I think race mode attracts more racers, Also from out of the league. Racers will have to practice the start more often so there will be more experience on that side. For the reactions towards Sennaboy, I had a very long conversation about his actions last Sunday. And he admids he should not have done that. But was frustrated to be again at the side of the road at turn one even it was due to himself (for sure in 2nd start). during the 1st start to, but when your eyes focused on the guys in front of you, it is not always possible to know how far the guy is next to you. So simple race incident there. Others should also realize, and for sur with the BF1, that during a start we have a short on eyes. So don't always think that the other guy knows you are there. Play it save.. and leave enough margin to react if you see things go bad. Don't try to put your car in almost impossible positions during the first corners. In a 2 on 2 battle things are totally different then on the first corners where we are in the corner with 3 cars next to each other. Oh yes, also don't claim the ideal race line to you during the start. When you are with 3 cars next to each other, the ideal race line is the one where there is no contact. The movie with U4IK ST8 and Xtian is the biggest prove of controlled and responsible driving. Xtian was for sure faster then U4IK... but just kept on pushing, does not take to risky maneuvers until U4IK.. make s a little mistake and he claims the new position. I hope this ends the discussion on the passed test race (luckily it was a test race) and that practice this week will result in clean race next Sunday .. I'm sure it will !!!

HUGE dilemma; i have to go out tonight (that is a fact); and al my friends are going ot be drunk as hell, because they had there last exam today, so i have 2 options, get nutsfaced (pardon me my french) and have a hangover to race with tomorrow, or drink nothing and have healthy mind to try and have a good race tomorrow. problem is: if my friends are all drunk, and i wont be, they are not so funny nobody is funny when he is drunk, unless the people around them are drunk as well, then they seem to be very funny . and convincing them not to drink won't work, that's for sure.

I also hope you told him how we drive, and he knows the rules (VERY important !!!) I really hope to have a VERY clean race tomorrow !! remember we have a rolling start tomorrow with no overtaking in lap 1... So better make sure your qualif is good... Or the top will be already far gone until you may go on passing..
