[RACECAR]

I would like to issue an apoligy to everyone for the late arrival of the series results. it is my responsibility to make this series as fun and exciting as possible. I will personally see to it that this mistake does not come back the rest of the season. Thank you.

 

[NIGHT MICHAEL]

Congratulatoins to everybody!Johnny congratulations with GT2 win!

 

[Ev0 4 drifter]

where are my results? i did sent them, can i send them again?

 

[RACECAR]

where are my results? i did sent them, can i send them again?

you didn't send yours in.

 

[Ev0 4 drifter]

hopefully you have received the pm i sent with my times, good job i still had them lying around once again i apologise for the inconvienience, but as i said, the school internet sucks!

 

[C-H-A-R-G-E-R]

Congratulatoins to everybody!Johnny congratulations with GT2 win!

Whoa! Great finish in GT2!! Congrats to everyone started, and to you, brother, personaly for you hanging on my tail during the whole race!

 

[azevedojose]

Nice work with the results RACECAR. Next time, please consider posting each driver race time, in order of us having a better idea of the time difference.

A very good idea:tup:

It'll be better this way.👍

 

[DLRgian]

My congradulations goes out to RACECAR, for his win. I thank God for my pole and fastest lap because we are tied in points for the lead LOL. I would like to thank my team mate DLRmarc who helped and assisted me talking about strategy and such. Although he had a slower round this time expect better results from him in motegi.

 

[C-H-A-R-G-E-R]

Here is some facts and files I want to share:

First of all here is my qulifier lap files in both classes. You can watch these replays using MaxDrive.

Then it lookes so strange that DLRgian has won GT1 class qualifier and was SO fast in the race. His 0:56:608 seems just amazing and ... unreal. A car limited with max speed at 310 km/h and with heavy 1150kg couldn't beat Mc Laren on a such fast track like this. Where did you won so much time, Giancarlo?! I'm very intrigued with this and want to watch your allien lap replay very much. I just run several laps on the High-speed Ring again and got very fast lap with 0:56:435 (I upload this file too), so this could win GT1 class qualify, but it was done on Mc Laren! While on the Viper it is still only 0:58:173! So I'm looking forward to see DLRgian's qualify replay

Yes it seems a little strange...

 

[DLRgian]

ignore.

 

[Famine]

Last time I checked you can use any transmission settings.

Check again:

Dodge Viper GTS-R
HP:705
Top Speed: 310 KM
Kg:1150

You were questioned in a friendly manner - as stated in the AUP. Your response - though I don't think is directly censurable - is certainly less than friendly, and many people might draw their own conclusions directly from that...


Do yourself a favour and get a MaxDrive - then you won't need to respond quite so aggressively.

 

[DLRgian]

The Rules are very simple. no cheating, no hybrids, anything that gives you a huge advantage. Gearing is free for all races. in Qualifying, you can use any kind of tire or tire combination, but in the race, only RH, RM, RS are available to use. two wheels on the track at all times. only slight contact, such as rubbing fenders or sides, are allowed. The AI settings for the race can be set 7-10. you will submit your times to me in this format:

Then whats this? Then what does "Gearing is free for all races" mean?

 

[Famine]

That's a question only RACECAR can answer...


I take it you didn't run with a 310km/h limit?

 

[DLRgian]

Well since I read that part on the thread, I did not run with a 310 limit because whats a 310 limit at High Speed Ring, I ran with a 330 limit. Now all thats left to that is driver ability. Who am I to question other drivers abilities? As who are they to question mine, am I correct? Now I thought those were just number figures of specs after I read that section in the post.

 

[C-H-A-R-G-E-R]

It means that you can take AT or MT whatever you like! While 310 km/h is restricted for all races of the season!

 

[Famine]

Well since I read that part on the thread, I did not run with a 310 limit because whats a 310 limit at High Speed Ring, I ran with a 330 limit.

A simple "no", would have sufficed.

Now all thats left to that is driver ability. Who am I to question other drivers abilities? As who are they to question mine, am I correct?

Bluntly, no, you aren't.

Until OLR becomes truly online, we're stuck with the systems we have now. As such, every driver has the right to question every other driver - otherwise any old nonsense could be submitted. Now, so long as that's done in a friendly fashion, which is mandated by our Acceptable Use Policy, no-one has a problem with it.

If you don't want your times to be questioned - and your reaction tells me that you don't - don't compete in OLR. It's really that simple.

Now I thought those were just number figures of specs after I read that section in the post.

Did you stick to the horsepower posted? Did you stick to the weight posted? If so, why not stick to the geared speed limit posted? If I'd been competing, that'd have been the very first question I asked, where there is an apparent incongruity in the rules.

Now, as I said before, I don't think your comments thus far warrant censure, but I would advise you to tone it down. CHARGER's post was textbook "friendly question". Yours was textbook "hostile answer".

 

[DLRgian]

Then if that is the case, it could have been listed. So there isn't any confusion. Like there just has been. Then if the Viper is that much dis-advantaged, then I think some action should be taken with the McLarens, but I won't complain because its not my duty for only the 1st round.

Did you stick to the horsepower posted? Did you stick to the weight posted? If so, why not stick to the geared speed limit posted? If I'd been competing, that'd have been the very first question I asked, where there is an apparent incongruity in the rules.

Yes I did infact stay with the weight and power. Obviously you should be able to play with the gears as they do in real life.


Oh well... I am not going to lose to get people to appreciate my time.

 

[mad_nos999]

as Famine stated earlier, we are stuck with this OLR system we have right now. Even with a replay, how do u prove waht gearing the driver had? The more specific the series, the more potential to cheat. Im sure anyone could agree with that. The reason why the WRS can't occur such problems is that they make sure everything is maxxed out.(+20 HP/-20 weight) This eliminates cheating because no one would wanna drive with anything less than +20% HP and -20 weight. The top speeds should be left up to the driver as a part of strategy and common sense. How does the mclaren get a 340 top speed while the viper would be topping out down the straights? thats just one example. It should be a match of driving skill and strategy. not speculation and assumptions. Obviously his time seems a lot faster cause his viper wasn't topping out down the straights like yours CHARGER, but by the fact that u said the mclarens still beat that with there specified setup just shows how unfair that is with the 340 kph gears. I believe gearing should be adjustable, this will prevent the "cheating" of raising and lowering ratios. It makes no sense to limit a person's speed at either topping out, or very slow acceleration. I'd be very surprised if those mclarens kept the 340 kph at motegi...

just somethin to think about

 

[DLRgian]

Don't forget the McLaren's 100kg weight difference with 696hp.

 

[NIGHT MICHAEL]

Last time I checked you can use any transmission settings. And if you want to get all technical, look at the McLarens weight. Don't hate because I have more experience at that track than you. I don't have anything to record a replay otherwise I would slap you in your face with it. Face it Mr. Disgruntled you got beat. Next time don't take up 2 classes and play Gran Turismo for 11 years then talk.


Here is reality, YOU are not the best GT player out there. I happen to hold 1 of the fastest Laguna Seca times in GT3 back when I was 15 years old with a time of 0.59.251 so you don't have to believe me I don't care you are not me. I guess if you can't take some competition and quit being a crybaby then I suggest you keep your rubbish complaints to yourself. Oh and lastly. Why do you think I myself chose a Viper over a McLaren. Think about it Sherlock.

Must have Renault F1 syndrome.

I think you must apologize to GHARGER for this...

 

[DLRgian]

I think you must apologize to GHARGER for this...

I think I need 1 for his assumption of me cheating. Also its only the 1st round. I would understand the speculation if I had won about 4 in a row by blow outs, but I didnt even win this. Who said I am even going to win another race? All I am doing is driving at the top of my ability. Enough with the disagreements now. We have Round 2 to do.

 

[Famine]

I think I need 1 for his assumption of me cheating.

That was your inference. CHARGER (with em-dashes) never accused you of anything - he was wondering where you gained your time and wanted to see your replay. He even complimented you, when he referred to your lap as "allien" [sic] (a term we reserve for the holl01's of this game).

 

[C-H-A-R-G-E-R]

"A little less conversation, a little more action please!"

Well, it doesn't matter how fast you are, and how many years you're are with GT but you still can't be rude, agressive and so negative to others. This is my opinion...

Also we've got rules, simple rules, and everyone should follow them. We've got restrictions on Weight, Power and Top Speed. Ain't it clear? I think everyone know that, everyone against both you.

You said that you're about 11 years with GT. But you still don't know simple things. Everyone who seriously racing on GTP are using a MaxDrive. It's just a question of $20-$30. I'm just about 9 month here and English is not my native language but it's clear to me. It was very hard to get it here in Russia because of many devices for PS2 are not available here. Anyway I get it and used to prove my victory times in WRS. Even great drivers like Holl01, Casio and others prove their time and they never getting mad and agressive with this like you are...

About restrictions... We can simply check up Power in replay using MaxDrive. Top speed is also seen there (you will see car on a track), so if it's speed reaches more than it's restricted to - you are cheating. Everything is simple and clear.

About cars... I think you can take Mc laren, Chevrolet or Panoz if you think it will help you be stronger. (First ask RACECAR about car changing) But changing Mc laren's power or weight (like changing any other car's restrictions) - is a foolish idea. I'm sure that those who had chosen them wouldn't like to drive them in another conditions 9/10 races of the season...

Also I think every car has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Maybe Mc Laren and Panoz are fast but Viper and Vette are better in corners, so it's just a question of choice and current track...

Johnny you absolutely right.👍

Pretty simple,isn't it?

Every car have own advantages and disadvantages on differnt tracks.So races will be more interesting this way.

Then I guess I misunderstood.

 

[mad_nos999]

Since i don't know how to multi quote just take a look at it this way


Also we've got rules, simple rules, and everyone should follow them. We've got restrictions on Weight, Power and Top Speed. Ain't it clear? I think everyone know that, everyone against both you.



---A simple misunderstanding of the word gearing is all that occured. I still don't even understand that comment. If it was for transmission, it should say transmission.



About restrictions... We can simply check up Power in replay using MaxDrive. Top speed is also seen there (you will see car on a track), so if it's speed reaches more than it's restricted to - you are cheating. Everything is simple and clear.



----First off u cannot check speed from replays so don't even try that, on the High Speed Ring i was set at 340 and still couldn't go faster than 318, but if i was at 320 i would be topping out at 313. Pretty slow compared to the 330 the mclarens hitting...



About cars... I think you can take Mc laren, Chevrolet or Panoz if you think it will help you be stronger. (First ask PACECAR about car changing) But changing Mc laren's power or weight (like changing any other car's restrictions) - is a foolish idea.



-----No one said anything about changing power or weight, i suggested changing the rules about the ratios. How are you gunna make sure the mclaren stays at 340 kph at motegi? according to you if it doesn't go above 340 it's legal. hmm u tell me where u can hit 340 on that track...




Also I think every car has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Maybe Mc Laren and Panoz are fast but Viper and Vette are better in corners, so it's just a question of choice and current track...



----this is the only right thing you have said all day
