Batracer thread!

[Metar]

I always run 70/60 - my own mistakes don't cost much, just a few secs. Mechanic mistakes, and it costs 10-15 seconds.

 

[Lee]

Christ it's down again, what's going on?!

 

[Danny]

Perhaps...UPLOADING NEW CAR SET?!

 

[Lee]

No such luck this time round Danny-boy, back up.

 

[Sting]

Perhaps...UPLOADING NEW CAR SET?!

That made me chuckle. lol

 

[Appie]

These new carsets sure are taking long though.

 

[Sting]

Due to anti-cheating measures......

.... which don't work cause it seems Fardon is still able to cherrypick a McLaren.

 

[Danny]

Update on the real names game.

 

[Metar]

Who does Sakon?

 

[Danny]

James Bentley.

AKA, next on the hitlist.

 

[Appie]

Sato = Italian

 

[Metar]

James Bentley.

AKA, next on the hitlist.

Who? Why?

 

[Danny]

Who? Why?

Well he's on the list, because I need to get through him to get to second.

I always run 70/60

I ALWAYS seem to have bull**** mechanics, it seems Charisma makes your mechs worse in all carsets bar BTCC and Champcar :|

I can't win at this pit game

Fardon

Speaking of, does anybody know why Blake gave Fardon his account?

 

[Metar]

Pardon - Blake did what?

 

[Danny]

Blake donated his account to Russell Fardon, who kept all the good comments Blake had recieved and deleted the ones stating that they weren't his.

No acknowledgement of Blake whatsoever.


Here.

 

[Sting]

No idea. I think that was a case of Blake going crazy. I haven't spoken to Blake in AGES. Gotta have words.

How can you cheat in batracer? It's impossible isn't it?

He means cherry-picking. Although as Jef rightly pointed out, it still happens.

 

[DQuaN]

You mean refreshing for a new game? Everyone does that.

 

[Appie]

Cherrypicker...

Lap 55 Charkaoui makes a pitstop from P1 lasting 5.36 seconds. Tyre choice is Cut Slick Hard. 15 laps of fuel are taken onboard.

Lap 56 Charkaoui (P4) is concerned with the suspension. Moments later Charkaoui appears to have a problem and will pit next lap to fix it.

Lap 57 Charkaoui (P4) is concerned with the oil pressure. Moments later
Charkaoui has lost time and possibly track position.

Lap 57 Charkaoui makes a pitstop from P4 lasting 3.00 seconds. Tyre choice is Cut Slick Hard. 4.22 seconds is wasted however by a mistake when the driver entered the pits.

Wow, I don't, so I guess everyone doesn't. I have better things to do than sit there and refresh over and over again.

 

[DQuaN]

Handbags Jeff!

I only do it if a new game is about to start.

 

[Sting]

Well that wont work anymore apparently, cause a new game will not start straight after one has filled.

 

[Metar]

I did it once, pre-update, and got me a Ferrari - at the price of joining an STR at the same time.

But... It was so totally awesomely worth it. I won the championship after an incredibly tough fight with the teammate.

Gabriel is pretty peeved he lost, mind you (read his forum post about that game)

 

[Appie]

Link?

To be honest, I'd be too if I were in his position.

First 5 races: He wins them all, by 25 seconds or more. Then, at Monaco, a strategy-problem, he finishes 9th. Wins at Canada... And BAM! His season goes downhill. He had, like, 5 or 6 races in a row where he didn't score - bad luck in qualifying, and in the race. DNF's, Lapping-Slower, Pitstop-mockeries...

At the same time, I struggled at the start of the season - but halfway through, I made a turnaround and won just as many races as he had, and in the end pipped him of victory - after he lapped slower on the last race, allowing me (Started P19) to gain a podium, and he (started P2) to finish 7th.
