I'm good with earlier, far as dirt 3 goes how is it with the wheel, any problems?

I presume you are referring to the DFGT. It feels really good and strong. The force feedback makes it enjoyable when the back end steps out and easy-ish to catch it. The bumps and jumps vibrate the wheel nicely. The grip difference between gravel and tarmac and snow feels amazing. Tr driving an Audi Quattro on tarmac. It feels soooo solid, its like an F1 racer. Best fore feedback ever. Also it has a similar trait to GT5 feedback on snow where if you exceed the tyre grip then it the feedback turns pretty much off to show that there is no grip left. Very enjoyable and crashing feels great. definately recommeneded here
 
I really hope that my connection is going to be fine tonight - I'll be there if it allows me to.

And I just got a surprise this morning. My DiRT 3 copy is ready to be picked up Monday, but it's going to cost me, cuz they fkin sent it from Guernsey, which means import taxes are added. And Denmark has one of the world's highest tax rates. I wonder why they sent it from there, they never did before.

Oh well, what can a simple man do. Life's not fair.
 
My new child will be born smack dab in the middle of the season. It just won't work out. The PSN outage is at fault for pushing it back. I'll have to try and get in next season.

Congratulations. Hope to see you next season :)

What time is the race going to be then?
 
What time is the race?? this is all news to me?? ive been Senior trip 3 days, Graduationn yesterday...etc....i have some grad parties to go to... the later the better for me... We really need to keep a consistent time for races. i havent been able to check the forums daily and i was expecting a the race at the usual time...

All the UK companies that do online orders have their warehouse in Guerensey because it isn't part of the UK so they don't have to pay tax but Royal Mail is active there so they can use the Royal Mail to send things out in the post. They do their exports from their as well
 
I will be online at 1:30 EST / 18:30 UTC, so either way will be making the race.

Bermuda is a smart cookie, if there are only 4 people in the room at 2:00 EST we obviously won't be starting.
 
I will miss today , but will be here the next 2 Saturdays for sure, probably rest of season , really sorry ,this date was just unavoidable.
 
I'll try my best to be there for 1:30 EST. I should defenatly be there by about 1:40 EST at the latest. So hopefully I can make the race :)
 
i will start once everyone is on today. starting from next week im going to make it 1 hour earlier. but today will be the regular 2:00 start
 
Hello, I saw you guys racing today and noticed that you only had 11 of 16... i watched for a bit and would really be interested in racing.
GTP: posimosh
PSN: posiloan
CAR: BMW LMR-v12
 
Wow what a race. Great racing. And finally after all my cock ups and pure bad luck I finally got rewarded with a 2nd place. Partly thanks to my strategy and driver ability (neither of which are normally very good) but mostly thanks to my awesome setup from Blaze. Completely changed the GT one in to a different car. And only 6 seconds behind the leader. As you can tell I am very pleased with my nights work :D
 
I aimed for top 6 and ended 3rd. Can't say I'm not satisfied. But being beaten by .2 secs ... makes me mad that I didn't choose the right side to overtake you on, Jam.

Fantastic race nevertheless. Congratulations to Johny, well done. Clean and all. Just not be so negative because of the quali race next time, ok?
 
So supposedly i'm under investigation for overtaking under pace car.(the 1st lap).

All i can say is i finished the qualifying race in 4th position and started the official race in 4th position. The one instance where i passed the person in question(Razor60) was to get him to catch up to the 1st and second place. Then i immediately gave the position back


If you ask me Razor should get a penailty for dropping too far back behind the leaders on the pace lap. Let me show you why.

my goal was to urge razor to catch up with the rest of the 1st two guys.




Guess who was in first place(his teammate tissimo)

im sure razor didnt do it on purpose but he was lagging behind and i didnt want my race to me messed up because the leaders got away before the race even started. i dont think i did anything that warrants a penalty.
 
A disappointing day for Team Wankel. The cars were very quick just our put strategy was bad. I think I ended up 9th :(

I will be out of town next weekend, so will have to get the 787 on the podium in 2 weeks @ Suzuka to redeem my self and get some points for the championship.

I'm sure it wouldn't have been too catastrophic if you had been behind him just half a second extra.

By the way, as I said earlier too, I'm going to (personally) make sure tissimo doesn't gets pole again. I'll beat him everytime now :)

Green light is at the exit of the last turn. It almost became a standing start with that pace, grandma ;)

which incident are you talking about.
 
ill do you all one better and show you what i'm talking about. I (Blaze_409) am in the aforementioned toyota gt-one and (Razor60) is ahead of me in the 787B in this video of the pace lap




as you can see the leaders are way ahead of us. we are in 3rd and 4th postions. razor was holding us up

Whoops... that's what I meant.

Isn't it at the start line people mean you overtake? I thought so...

EDIT: Nice logo. Did Mike make that?
 
Arghhh you've just shot yourself in the foot there Blaze I'm afraid:

1) There isn't a rule about been close to the leaders
2) You are shown there clearly breaking the rules going over the 60 mph speed limit.

I'm hoping you don't get a penalty and BK might let it go as it's your first race. We will see :)
 
Quite frankly the leadup to the race was poorly done and when i tried to correct people everyone ignored it and acted like it never happened.

As i said before. The was a 10 minute qualy beofre the qualy race to determine the postions for the qualy race. I set a 1.19.339 which was the fastest of ANYONE in those 10 minutes(no mav today). WHEN the qualy race started i was placed in 6th postion to start the qualifying race. I earned the pole for that race and started 6th. Thats not fair! Dont tell me that the race is 1hr when i tell you ive been wronged. Do something about it!

Am i right in saying this is an organized series! this is not one big free for all theres structure to everything.

Starting up front in these races is sooo important. We all know that the people in the midfield often wreck eachother and that cost lots of time while the people up front drive away from everyone else. THAT is why i try so hard to start up front. WHEN that is taken away from me i am going to COMPLAIN!

So.... when a guy in front of me is holding everyone up and i cant exceed 60mph im just suppose to sit their and let it happen and ruin my race?? Im racing to win just like everyone else.
 
Nothing wrong with breaking the 60mph limit. It's a suggested speed for the guy in pole to keep.

You really didn't think he was just going to make a huge gap for his team mate, do you? Everyone is racing to win, giving it some throttle down the straight isn't illegal, but you need space to do it :)

And I don't think that incident is going to cost much more than a rep penalty. But don't do it just because he's driving slow. We all want to win.

Yeh I knew you would be coming through the final corner with the DRS like slipstream. So I decided the best form of defense was to not look at you at all and just take the corner on the normal racing line and hope you didn't come charging up my inside/round my outside :)
 
Well, what a s*** race for me. First the now infamous pace lap. There was a pileup at the start finish line and I came out badly. Ruined engine and wheels. PLEASE TURN OFF MECHANICAL DAMAGE FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE INNOCENT. I got to 4th or 5th and I made a mistake and went into the grass. That meant I couldn't brake so I went into the gravel. 10th place. Now I had nothing to lose, so stupidly I tried to do a 1 stopper. It was working until about lap 18 but I pitted lap 21. I had no grip at all. Johny, Jamman and Blaze overtook me at that point I think. So then I knew had to do another stop and I did on lap 35. Had a good battle with Razor right until the end but he pipped me. Only way is up...

Sorry for that essay. :p

Better luck next time.

I highly doubt that mechanical damage will be turned off. When you get damage on the pace lap, whoa.. I'll need to see how that happened, lol :D
