no tc sounds even better. I do a race like once month for roughly 2 hour race with no tc, its great fun lol
 
I don't understand why we are not racing at SSR5. It is a brilliant track, everybody loves it and with the exception of a certain few incidents between a certain banned driver and a certain series champion, it went without incident which is incredible. If you produced a graph in this series plotting incidents against track width when the attendance was good, SSR5 would score the highest. By that conclusion, the reason we should race there is because it will that there will be less incidents.

And ban TC all together. That will make things exciting. Massive HP, no TC and current tyre wear. That is what we really want. And here the comes the argument against banning TC of "LMP cars have TC in real life". Yet in real life, the TC is one heck of alot less restrictive on engine power. We GT5 TC, floor it out of a corner, TC sorts it all out. Without TC, you need to think about when you can get on the power. Plus if you factor in the new tyre wear then say you get on the power 0.05 seconds early every corner for every lap. You'd get a bi of wheelspin, not noticeable but enough to damage the tyres. Ban TC and it will allow smoother driving styles to flourish like JB in F1. He feels the car and gets the power amount right each time and thus conserves his tyres allowing him to win and I bet the Vettel is exactly the same but has a better car and a bit more corner speed.

Anyone wanna test right now? I need a testing buddy or else I get nothing done and revert to skyrim lol
 
TC on 1 doesn't help much. I learned that last race. Leave it as is, it hasn't hurt any. I'm not sure if I'll stay a Bentley boy or become a 905 driver, and the Audi is enticing as well. I just think 900kg for the Bentley isn't that bad, just drop hp for it. That and Toyota are fastest top speed wise. Just my 2 cents...
 
i think my PS3 Career is done finally :) got a PC today 16 GB RAM 3.3 GHz/ 2 GB Graphics Card!! PC Gaming here i come, i don't think i'll participate in S6 :(

Come on, dude, I have a little bit of warmth left in my cold, cold heart of stone, but you have had several chances and just keep ignoring the second, third, fourth chance (whether it is from a mod banning you from here, or from BK giving you repeated warnings to stop acting like a twit).

You can't seriously argue that you haven't been given a long rope to hang yourself with :ouch:
 
Bk himself... As far as I remember has never warned me. And mods have warned me of going off topic. If off topic see (new word) is why I'm being banned them surely thre are many more candidates??

I mean someone has played skyrim for 6 weeks :sly:

So? He didn't manage to use more than what - 3-4 posts with it? And it IS an awesome game btw.

I think it's because of 1) Off-topic over-and-over again 2) Language 3) Quitting races 4) Ramming people WHEN racing.
 
Language?? What is wrong with English
Quitting-all but one have been dsc
Ramming- certainly not intentional and has happenedmoncemin a season
 
Some people contribute to your life and make it a positive experience, and some people make your life a hassle and make it a negative experience.

The ones who do the latter should be cut loose, and that's what BK has done.

This league is kind of like that. No worthwhile post content, no creative contribution like art or edits, no LULs, no constructive discussion points, no ability to finish a race = not wanted.

That's how I could rationalize it, anyway :shrug:
 
I actually am trying to do videos... When I have a replay...

I clearly have abillity to finish a race... Just now while bk's host I guess.

Anyway I'm outer here.


I really do wanna race lmp's but I CBA with all this hassle of this league.

Cya.
 
Technically, this talk about AMF and wether he is off-topic qualifies as off-topic :D

Mike, it is obvious that I provide all the LULs in the world.... all I have to do is demonstrate my ability in an LMP car and the hillarity ensues.
 
Language?? What is wrong with English
Quitting-all but one haven't been dsc
Ramming- certainly intentional and has happened several times in a race

Honestly when I was watching the replay, I braked, you didn't react fast enough, I went flying through dirt. I saw you hit more cars later, then you quit.
 
There is lots of talk about how traction control should be banned.
No surprise coming from most of the guys who don't use it, WHY DO U CARE. All it does is slow u down, all the race winners are people who don't use it. What's up with being concerned with people who are slower than u. It drops me back by about 2 tenths, but TC on 1 interferes just enough if you get squirming out of a corner its like a tap on the shoulder saying don't do that. There's no way you can just floor it and " GT5 sorts it all out for you"
You can still spin off and bin it if you choose to drive like Jeremy Clarkson. On top of thay you have to put it at about 6 and up to actually reduce your tire wear in which case your then your almost 3/4 of a second slow.

Its mostly for the guys who don't practice a lot of hours a week. Yes no TC forces you to be a better driver. But unless you get to practice with no TC it doesn't really help you on race day now does it........
Its good to make the series open to the hardcore guys and the casual race day guys as long as we can all have fun.

I already ban all the magical aids that don't really exist anyway, so chillax on the witch hunt for TC users like myself.

I could practice more and get better, but I hardly have the time and have absolutely no desire to practice full race distances or in lobbies by myself. Its incredibly borrrrring. I always try to wrangle as man people as possible into 1 room for races and group practice, but if others rather play skyrim of bf3 and F1 I just go and watch sports center. So I will never practice alone. 👍

evil dictator rant over

Real LMP cars use traction control.

Banning it for macho skill's sake is just stupid. /much shorter argument

I use TC now and Jamman, currently our most winningest (actual word OMG) driver, has always used it.

So all your effort to get back in the series has resulted in 3 races? lolz. BK has a top PC (well I assume he does considering he runs BF3 and F1 2011 on it) and it doesn't stop him. Oh well, whatever...

And to add to that I used a pad from season 2-4 so it wasn't much of an option ;)
 
I only decided to use Traction Control prior to the new tyre wear. I've only felt it help more than hurt at La Sarthe so far. I've tried it at 1 before at Spa, and felt much better with it off there. Jamman converted me to traction control, it helps to keep a more consistent pace, and keep my tyre wear a little more in check.
 
Ok , new race day will change to Sundays, Lobby would open @ 12 pm eastern and Race beginning @1 pm.
