Had a quick look at start of race 1. Going to hairpin after going under the bridge i out braked myself and hit Jonzster. There was no malice involved and he only lost time no places but i think i need a slap on the wrist because it did not look pretty. :dunce: Sorry Jonzster. :guilty:

Yes mate. No probs. taken on board. I knew I'd hit a jag but couldn't remember who. Thought it was strawman and yes I should of waited. Apologies jonzster.

Real baptism of fire tonight. Started off ok in both races but just kept making stupid mistakes and why does race 1 always feel like tyre wear is on when I know it isn't. Felt the same last week.
I've made a space in my garage for the lemon if it's deserved. Onwards & upwards!

Yeah will do
I was just struggling all the time, no setup worked just was a handful! I did tap a few people due to the car just not reacting when braking, the rear kept going and the nose pushed wide

From watching your replays i still reckon your on the ragged edge im wincing just watching its not a critisism your undoubtedly quick matey. Cant comment to much on the car although i know JK2 holds it in higher esteem than the Lexus for example i'd say he has a fair idea. Why not badger him for a set up i know hes got one knocking about he thrashed us all with it at Fuji in pre season.:D
 
Hehe thanks. I've got some more recorded just got to start encoding. More action is on the way folks :D
 
Guys myself and Gedi have had a chat and we are willing to give my lounge a try with 12+ drivers. We need to act fast so tomorrow at 8pm (forget England) i will open my lounge for a quick test for lag/black screens etc shouldnt take to long. We have tried twice now to do this without sufficient numbers to test properly so as you can imagine its important we get enough of you there. I will send some pms out if anyone cannot make the day/time let me know either on here or behind the scenes many thanks.👍

Oh I don't mind. This series is a learning curve for me, like staying on the track.
 
Normally I don´t quit and I really had no reason for it (won the sprint and that was epic stuff Nel).
But Race 2 I didn´t knew a RAIN race would last as long as the Dry race in the first place and then there was the first lap.
I was very angry (AUP has to be followed) afterwards and my anger-meter wouldn´t go down. This led me to doing many mistakes.
In addition I couldn´t match my times I did in race 1 and I couldn´t match my Tire-Wear testings !!! (this led to maximize my anger-meter)
Because of that I decided to leave before I do crazy stuff to you and/or to my controller.

I´m ok with DQing me from first race because I hate it if people quit and not finish driving.

@JB: 8pm what Time ?? yours or mine :D Anyway I´ll try to be online.
Just for information:
FGTC race at Nürb 24H with 11 people (10 or 9 fnished) went great no extreme lagging or framerate issues (so no BUG).
Blackscreening and/or DC´s have different reasons and aren´t part of the BUG by the way.
I got DC´d from Lobbies in the first week or so and had 2-3 Blackscreens.
But after clearing the cache all the time I shut down my PS3 and reseting my router before going online everything was fine. (Apart from my 2nd account creating which was BS afterwards)
 
King no drama maybe the rain thing was a bad idea its something we will vote on/discuss in the future it demands a lot of practice which some clearly dont have enough time for etc we live and learn.
If theres anyway we can get back to the grids of S1/S2 we will hense the test tomorrow thats 8pm UK time king btw:crazy: All we can do is try its down to you guys to spare us 20 minutes to see:sly: We cant do much more than ask 3rd time lucky i hope:indiff: Numbers are already looking light for 2 divisions what with drop outs rage quitting etc etc:grumpy:

That really basically sums up my races. You can see the car moving underbraking, and then in the corner the front understeers then grips then understeers and the rear just lets go!


As for the rain, I liked it a lot more than the dry. Its more challenging and maybe because I was just so dam fast! :D But Monza should be a rain race 👍
 
Andy this can be overcome with some LSD tweeking if you want send me the car and i will give it the once over and send it back tomorrow thats if you havent spoken with Johan already!:dopey:

Ok well I'll send it now, use setup B. A doesnt work well for suzuka 👍
 
I (unusually) wasn't really in the mood at all last night, and I should've just pulled out
of the evenings racing completely

I consider the V8's my 'home series' though so I had to at least try

Race 1...

Leading into lap 2 when I fell victim to what must rank as one of the most avoidable
incidents ever seen online, anywhere

I'll spare the blokes blushes and say no more, but if you saved the replay have a look

That blew my already frail race-brain and I was out of there

Race 2...

Had to yield of course at the start because I quit race 1. Never really got back in the
right frame of mind and just couldn't slog around for the best part of an hour

I hope to regain my form for next week, and sorry's all round to those who feel let down
by my actions last night :)
 
Please turn up guys I really dont want anyone in this series to end up racing with about 5 people for 45 minutes. :nervous:
