Ya, you have to treat Willy with kid gloves

Thats better

Looking at headphones now. Those 5.1/7.1 ones are pretty damn expensive. Might as well get the SLI PRO instead I think.

I picked up a $39 set of Logitech's just yesterday, they are marginally better then the Microsoft version I have. Off hand what are the price of the ones you posted?

Awesome save, Jav. Did you have to slow down for cutting the corner?

Depending on what time I get home tonight I'll try to do some races in Lime Rock too.

Lol! Thank's guys! Having a blast with all the crazyness and no concequences, yes I did get the black flag, that's why I didn't imidiately get back on it. Started 71th on that race and after al the T1 madness I found myself on 7th, slowly made my way to 2nd 4.5 seconds behind the leader at one point at the end he had 8 seconds on me. Fun stuff!

coffee x 3. Work does that to you. But apart from that, tone is very difficult to understand via the internet. Throw in a few

like Pat said. It helps.

haha I knew it!

SW is the man for racing sim knowledge!

Cheers!

haha Talk about luck! LOL I started in the pits (17th) for a Charlotte MX5 cup race and came away with a win by avoiding all of the car crashing mayhem!

Lol yeah! Startegy pays off in these crazy races, ironically this was the top split with guys having iratings up to 3500+!

It's a more relaxed mood on week 13 so everyone tends to go for lower percentage moves and stuff like that and many of this guys don't race the GT cars at all so the transition for them is a bit harder...

So Jav, you went from "71th" to 7th? Cool! LOL!

I did a rookie legends race for the heck of it...... ya right there was all of 1 car on the lead lap, it wasn't a race but a game of dodge.... car. with a 19 car field and 50 laps I started 4th but even the pole guy was an idiot and came across my front end. I finished 4th 3 laps down

. I could predict anything, I could've probably done just as good with a blindfold on

edit: ran another to see if I'd do any better, I know, stupid move, I quit

So...The tire falloff on the Cadillac is kind of annoying. I can understand the car feeling like its on ice if you spin out at 130mph and make 8 rotations with the throttle buried to the floor, but one slow 180 degree spin at Infineon shouldn't make it want to do the same for the next four turns, taken carefully.

Worse still, is how bad they get 10 laps into the Infineon race.

Yeah, that's kind of silly. GT5 like even, I hope they take care of that soon!

I think it might have been rushed to release just a little. Would explain the garbage base setup at least.

So looks like I finally moved up divisions. Just going to make getting a championship a lot harder now lol. It goes by your irating and I've just now started to get mine higher. I raced in a league on PS3 that went to iracing so I didn't do many official races for the first few months I joined. Just really got into doing official races this past season. My irating always hovered around 1500 in both road and oval putting me in division 5 in both. Got up to div. 2 in oval and div. 3 in road now. Now that I'm more experienced I think I can gain more iraing this season.

Did a few hours in the Caddy at Infineon. Meh. Not a fan of the Caddy or really anything else on Infineon. Very, very challenging though. I'll at least give it that. I had more fun trying to get the Caddy down the 1/4 mile strip. Not a very good drag car, but makes for interesting drag races.

I agree with that, a few animation loops have been rushed. It might take a few more builds to they get it right. It really is a lot of work coding, as we all know it's not something they can crank out in a few weeks.
