There is no condition to race like that, i have 40 seconds advantage and in 3 laps the lag of Kakarot ruin my race!!!

🤬 2nd night in a row my modem disconnects for no reason...

As for the mix-up with qualifying, there was no info from the host that qualifying was live. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing long runs to test the tires.

As for the race, Cowboy you need to calm down and not ram everyone ahead of you as you try to get to the front in the 1st lap.

Also, please someone check the replay, as I'm pretty sure MrMelancholy15 jumped the gun at the start, given the fact that he was beside me right after the start/finish line, and he started 5th and I started 3rd.

Just to finish, we need to do proper procedures, because as of right now, every week we do something different (finishing timer, track reset, etc...).

I'm not going to justify it as anything but defending from cowboys. Again, Cowboys, calm the 🤬 down at the start before I tell everyone that I want no part in racing you. I'm too nice to shove you into a wall, but, had Storm seen you... You'd be crying. If I have to defend my position from someone who jumps the start, that's what I'm going to do!! And you can 🤬 yourself if you don't like it.

That start was BS. Everyone I passed at the start, it was because they went off track. Even when I passed Kevin. I didn't *PASS* anyone on the first straight, yera. Instead, I took back my quali position from cowboys.

I'll have photos to prove it once they're uploaded.
 
I just saw the replay.

Dude, you slowed to creeping pace during the pace lap 3 times!

And, you slowed down before the finish line, and I was going 60mph, the pace speed, and I didn't jump the start, I went when the leaders car was halfway over the line.

After watching the replay though, I saw YOU jump the start. After all, how did I jump it if you went into T1 ahead?

And your nice enough to not shove me into a wall?

You shoved me and TG2 in the sand and passed us a few times. Even tried battling me in the last few laps when you still had to pit, when I was on fresh tires.

My case, closed.

I thought I jumped the start??? How on earth did you pass me then?

My photos will solve this.
 
60MPH, no matter which way you put it is....
Ding Ding Ding! 60MPH! The pace speed! You can't complain being passed when you cruise slower than everyone else before the line, I'm not starting later than the rest of everyone because you decided to slow.

Like I said, if I'm going 60MPH, and your only going 40, it's your fault.
 
I looked at the replay from my point of view. It looked like Cow and Storm could not see each other. Cow went to the outside of Storm approaching the start finish line. MrM saw what happened and took his position back right before the start finish line. So it was MrM, Cow, Storm then me.

Look, guys, a blue/white Ford GT passing the two BMWs!! And, guess what? The Ford stayed in front of one of the BMWs, because Storm couldn't see the jump from Cowboys!

Sorry, guys, but, it looks like we'll have to tell Cowboys some hard-to-hear news. Argument over.

Also, look, in the first photo, at how slowly Yeratel was going... Storm was just following right behind Yeratel, but, Mr. Eagerstarter965 jumped us both!

1. You were braking during that picture, so that's false.

2. How did I jump the start if your in front of me, blowing past everyone when you jumped it yourself.

3. This is a pointless picture and you must've put it there because it looks cool.

Oh and video proof incoming. Umadbro?
 
Tower Turn 13
If Spa is next week then I'll be out another round. I don't have spa.

It's possible. But if a couple of people can't show for next Round because they don't have the DLC, we'll scrap that track and use another course.

You have video proof? Make sure to include the part where you jump, and I take my spot back. Umadenoughtomakeavideo, bro?

Yep.

It seems your pretty mad, since you'll go so far, even though you still get last.
Click to expand...

Heh, last? I didn't get last. In fact, considering the number of people who were behind me, and disconnected... Regardless, you'll notice that I didn't actually overtake anyone for the position. Instead, I took my spot back from you. It's not MY fault that the BMW goes slowly through the last corner, nor is it my fault that I was behind Storm, who was going slowly there. So, if you want to pass me, okay, go for it.

As for me getting along side Yeratel, I was already on the throttle when passing Cowboys, and that's when blaze crossed the line. I thought "Well, the race is officially on now. I'll hold my position, but, I'm not lifting and giving Cowboys a cheap pass for free." You'll notice that I went extremely early on the brakes in turn one, gave everyone plenty of room, and intentionally went slower than I could've through turn one, to ensure that Yeratel and Kevin were still in front of me, coming out of the Andretti hairpin. But, I GOT MY SPOT BACK.
 
Yeah, but what are you hitting at Spa? :p

Since Spa is going to be an "All-Star" race anyway, why dont we just move it to like Grand Valley or something that is not a real world circuit?

I was just going by the list in the OP--GP/F is listed after Spa, so I figured I'd get a head start even if I can't make it. Grand valley would work also.

Also, Cows and mel getting all butthurt about the race. haha wish I was there.

**** off. You know that what you did is the real wrong here. YOU jumped the start, by passing us. YOU ruined the start for everyone. YOU broke too late into turn 1, and YOU were mentioned by Yera as being a little aggressive on the opening lap. IT WAS NO ONE BUT YOU. YOU CAUSED ME TO PASS YOU. YOU DID. I didn't say "Hmmm, well, it's time to hit the throttle, now, because I want to pass my teammate, or Kevin, or Yeratel." No. I thought "I'm not letting this ****head Cowboys cheat me out of a spot. This Cowboys guy's getting a huge bit of wall the next time I'm nearby him, because TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME.

Well, Cowboys jumped the start, and Yera accused me of jumping it, because I got my rightful spot back. I'm defending MYSELF so that I don't get a penalty for what Cowboys does. He's not my teammate, nor is he me. He deserves the penalty, that Yera wants given out, not me. I was defending MYSELF. Not intending to pass Kevin, or yera, or anyone else.
 
You should try to show up for these next few races. Guarantee podium finish. Seth was the last man standing in LMP tonight.

The video is pretty clear, MrMel you probably thought the race started a half a second earlier than it did. You went up to 70mph then realized Blaze hadnt crossed yet, so instead of diving back into your slot you said "oh well" and gunned it. I was shocked that you were right beside me in turn 1, you can see how i moved up then suddenly cut back because you were there. I was like, no way hes already up here?

@Cowboys, LMAO at the Wonka clip

Mel it probably wasnt intentional, but you jumped.

It's not my fault! I say again, I was ON THE THROTTLE, passing Cowboys, when the race began. I will not deny, that I got close to you, or Yera. I WILL say, though, that I reserve the right to qualify for the race, (no matter how much yera objects to it... :rolleyes:) and I reserve the right to start where I qualify! If Cowboys is too immature to understand, so be it! Sure, I want BMW to get the Manufacturer's championship, and I want to challenge for the driver's championship, but, jumping the start is horrible sportsmanship, Cowboys, and you'd better learn, or next time, I won't just pass you back.

Anyways, we all know what happened. I'm giving up this argument. Congrats to TG2, for, by my calculations, taking the Driver's championship points lead!

I'm making up ground on Kevin and yeratel, after that race, but, only so much... And, FH (if we don't consider blaze) won that race, and so he's getting right close to me in points.

Cowboys is still towards last place (or, IS in last place) and really has no room to say **** about me losing a lot.
 
All this can be solved if we do a simple SINGLE FILE START. I always duck in behind the car in front of me when starting a race, not staggered, not side by side, not giving the lead car a bumper.

*Your front bumper should not be past the rear bumper of the car in front of you

Problem Solved, lets line up right from now on so we dont have this issue anymore

That's because I haven't raced.
