I tried asking you in the room whatif you remembered what ur qualifying times were with the frs, because I just did it...
Good choice with the track its very fun
Ok thanks.We generally don't discuss qualifying times because people should just try to do their best in 10 laps or so without any preconceived notions of target times. It helps to place people more accurately.
Glad you like the track though
Cod you also submitted your time trial for the West Coast Division. We only have one division so you will be racing with us allOk thanks.
The track is great!
Can't wait to see where I stand
and will not see where you would have placed if you were racing at the normal time. That being said you should see some good racing in the West Coast division as your time is similar to several of us.
Thanks for making your Prize A Prize B, and Prize C selections!I've decided the Red Bull will be racing at Autumn Ring this week.
I also considered Madrid reverse and Matterhorn Rifflewhatsit. As much as I enjoyed running the car on those more technical tracks, I just couldn't bring myself to subject the league to it. Have a go with the redbull at that particular Matterhorn config though, its a lot of fun in a very frightening way
Oh also, D1 data entry is complete.
Ohhh.. So that's what it would be like to be a curious SNAIL!
So Driveclub has ‘gone back to the drawing board’,eh? Let's see.. After years of development and tons of money invested into the game, somebody on their team finally figured out that a racing game where you can't actually race against others on the same track might not be a very big hit.. That concept should have never left the drawing board to begin with.
Trust me, that's not a double post and I'm sure any moderator would agree. Just because one user has two consecutive doesn't mean he's guilty of double posting. If it did, I and many others would have been banned long ago. I really hope everyone can learn to understand the difference between "double posting" and "two consecutive posts" because there have been complaints made against league members in the past, not by mods, but by fellow league members who don't understand the difference between the two. For everyone's reference, here's the definition of "double posting" as shown on the GTPlanet FAQ and Guidelines (I've taken the liberty to highlight the important parts in red):
ROUND ONE
Renault Sport Clio V6 24V '00
(261HP / PP 434) (Sports Hard tires)
at Ascari full track (? laps)

ROUND TWO
Renault Sport Megane Trophy Base Model '11

ROUND THREE

But in all seriousness, the answer to your question is no. The assigned left/right buttons what you would see if you were to look directly out of your door windows and so those views only show you what's directly next to you. When you have triple monitors, the side monitors mimic what you would see with your peripheral vision. To explain it another way, the left/right buttons show you what you see when you turn your head to the left and to the right. The side buttons show you what you would see when you keep your head still, but just move your eyeballs to the left and right. In fact, when you have triples, you can still use the assigned left/right buttons to get the "turned head" view. Does that make sense?

Btw, anyone want to guess when that photo of Kaz was taken? I'm guess he wouldn't have had that smile on his face had he known that car would almost single-handedly destroy GT6's microtransactions revenue stream.
. ps. I suppose it is also possible that the rules would only allow me to actually see their car reach sufficient overlap using my side view buttons which would make the peripheral vision useless in better handling this required racing skill.
I think at that point I just started over, and that is the instance in which I used the edit button about six times. Sorry... I am genuinely trying to do ok. And that is why my question ended up being such a long run-on paragraph; I didn't want to have my text disappear twice.
We were all noobs once, so that is understandable.
Although, my posts never looked like that.
UPDATE: Just now I found my first post hidden beneath 'click to expand' in the original response. That explains that I did post it, but why I did not see that I had posted it. And that is why I started it over again.
I will try and summarize the posts I was tagged in. First of all, Ascari will use the white lines as the track boundaries in all (I may have an exception or two but I don't think so) instances. Be on the look out for this weeks "Points of Interest" post.
The beige areas behind the white lines are not rumble strips. In fact, in some of those spots, they appear to be concrete poured after rumble strips were removed from the track. I will take a close look to make sure.
Thank you for answering my question. It has helped me to become aware of the question behind my 'extra monitors' question. Since I am new at driving online with real drivers, could this monitor setup help me to know when a car is not just trying to pass, but has reached the point of sufficient overlap so that I can know when I am required to give them a lane. I was told by an experienced SNAIL that the red side marker indicates proximity to my car even tho their car might be behind or only slightly past my rear bumper. So the red side marker doesn't necessarily mean that I need to yield a lane yet.?? I am very nervous when being caught up to because I am unclear when I should make them work for the pass and when it is time to yield a lane. I don't know exactly when I am supposed to switch from driving my racing line to providing a lane which seems compounded by not being able to see when this point occurs. This has caused me to over react, sometimes slowing too much, resulting in a number of cars passing me, and other times losing the balance between my speed and my track position causing me to go off the track. In other words, would peripheral vision allow me to see another car reach sufficient overlap more easily helping me to handle the situation better? In this virtual racing there seems to be an unnaturally large blind spot that isn't present in real driving; and hitting my side view button is very odd since I lose a sense of which way I am going in the intensity of the situation, only adding to my already nervous state. I am just trying to explore ways to become better at this seemingly important and, I imagine, frequent situation, and explore options to better deal with it. One person told me to yield a lane when the front of their car reaches my front tires (I think I could see that in my peripheral vision), but the rules say when their car reaches the drivers position which sounds like it could mean something different. Are the rules allowing a driver to see the front of the car when only one monitor is being used? Or would the required position only be seen visually if I had the peripheral vision that the extra monitors provide? Would I actually be able to see the front of their car when it reached sufficient overlap in my peripheral vision? If my questions seemed confusing, they probably just reflect that I am confused. I am sure any feedback will help me to begin to better put all this together. Maybe I am over thinking things, but it is just one way we some times try to grapple with a situation
So then what did you have in mind? Have the table of contents actually on the first post instead of just linked to it?
Did you say chocolate? How about some chocolate-covered pretzel sticks? Mmmmm..
Yes, I realize that. However, I'm not sure how that relates to my two consecutive posts since I didn't tag anybody in either one. Or was your post not even directed at me? I'm confused.
