I guess with the USA setting their clocks back 1 hour tonight, the other side of the pond was already in a different zone so that might have thrown us all off.

I was having a blast until I got disconnected. When I tried to get back into the room to spectate, it gave me the "incompatibility with room host" error which was total BS since I had been in TDZ's room for the previous 4 hours :)

My ISP provider is really bad although when its working right is just fine. I checked my connection speeds immediately after the disconnect and they were normal so I chalk it up to Sony's servers giving me the heave-ho. Really looking forward to the next race at one of my favorite tracks :)
 
If everyone has a smartphone you can just set your world clock to display your local time with London (GMT-0) and not worry about peoples time coverters and day light savings time. I was having the same problems until I realize my phone was the answer to everything.
 
Why isn't there a timer up on the op saying exactly how many days,hours and minutes until the next race? It's not hard to do and would put and end to all the confusion.

It also would have been helpful if the START time was even posted at all anywhere on the OP. I never did find it and my request for this information was never acknowledged :scared:

Oh yeah, by the way ... I have a "dumb phone" :)
 
well.... if we can have that same timeslot every week that would be better for me, then I can get some actual sleep, :lol: maybe,
 
we all.... failed at qualifying, :lol: it would have been good to see how 4 mercs went,

Yea. In another series I was in, we had to request a steward to watch our qualifying lap at any point in the week preceding the race. Here there is 2 weeks before but we can still just do qualifying like that. I don't know if there will be a steward available though but maybe 2 people can watch a qualifier and post the time in the thread.
 
I don't see why we cant just set the room to fastest first, then do the qualifying laps, and start the race, easy, maybe turn penalties on weak to prevent corner cutting, simple,

Agree with this.

That's the easiest. I'd go for it
 
Penalties = ghosting

ghosting = no contact

no contact = no racing

no racing = hot laps session

Fastest first with false start penalty would be nice.
 
Catching up:

For the last time, there's a conversion link in the OP. Use it.

Future races MUST be held in my room (I noticed mics where on and they're rumored to cause unneccesary lag, amongst others) or it won't count :)

Qualifying during the week seems like a chaos so it will be one-shots with Parc Ferme regs which means the car must be ready when you enter.

Anything else stays like this for season 1.

Results:

Spaz
ghs
Sak
JT
TDZ
Joe
Ruz
me
curt
ANFD (A DNF :) )

Pole: Spaz

Fastest lap: ghs

Investigations: lap 1 incident involving TDZ and ghs

Sentence: lag incident, no further action

Points to come soon
 
The conversion thing in the OP is terrible and doesn't work for me. What's so wrong with a countdown? There will be no need to leave the thread for a outside link then.
 
can we get one on the WRC too please?

also can I advertise a spot race that I just took over on this thread?
 
There is another on the WRC too Dave :) yeah, go ahead, IF you promote both ways :D

So qualifying will be just like how we did it?
 
Could you post the fastest laps ??
Me did a 1:03.002 during the Race and I want to see how much faster ghs was :D

BTW did I say that it was awesome to race with you ? :D
 
I think ghs' lap was in the high :02, I think 02.8 or something, don't remember exactly :)
 
So... I don't get points?

Well isn't that a turn-off. I'll run that Beemer next time then.

Can I be reserve for the CLK? I can match JT's times in the corners but lose so much time in the straights. I lose about 5 tenths. I'm running 400hp.

Does anyone remember this? I originally wanted to be a CLK reserve.

EDIT 2 - AH. Thanks BAZZER, didn't see the asterisk on the Mercedes column. :lol:

Yeah your in the standings with 20 points, I think he meant the Merc team doesn't get your points as they already had 4 drivers. If you got points with a team with only 3 drivers then you would of got the points for the team.

I think I interpreted that right lol.
 
That's right BAZZER, I hope this doesn't mean DTM is dead to you ghs..

We could use you at BMW :sly:

No, it's still alive and kicking. I'll have to run that BMW with a few tests on Friday and get it to handle better before I drive it, though.
 
Good to hear bud, the Bavarians of the Powerdome could use you for a serious title competitor :)
 
I think the next round will be most interesting, more drafting then any other track in the series, going to make it very close one hopes,
 
I am so sorry guys i wont be able to participate any further.Work load is heavy so not able to participate due to timing issues.Sorry ruzy bro.

Wish you all best of luck.
