So I was just racing in Okayama and with 5 laps to go some random idiot decides to take us both out of the race:



Lost 61 iRating points and luckily just 0.01 SR point.

Is this worth reporting? Will they at least give me back the iRating and SR?


Wow dude, thats bull:censored:

My only question is was there anything to provoke this? Even if there was thats still blatantly wrong. That guy could've at least made an effort at making something look like an accident if he was angry with you.

I myself have been on the receiving end of some things like this. It sucks for sure, but I just kept going and didn't bother with reporting it. At most someone will probably get a slap on the wrist. Maybe if this was a league race or a premier or pro series something would be done, but don't think much will come out of it.
 
Just completed my second race, led for 8 laps but not use to no abs yet. Ended up off track and came fourth. Using the mx5 on laguna. Best time was a 1:45.124

So far all races have been clean as :) I think I found my new hobby

Edit: new best 1:43.8xx

WTH!? I practice and qualify 2nd for the Okayama track, then I go to race and it takes me to Laguna Seca and well that was just a bad time (I never been on that track).
Track changes every day (at 9PM over here) this week in the MX-5 championship, you probably raced the first race at Laguna when it had just changed tracks.

He was mad, but not at me.

He and another driver were arguing over the microphone. Apparently one of them was at 3rd and lost connection at the first laps. Then he came back and started recovering positions, and I guess he tried to pass a driver a lap ahead of him and they collided. I don't know who did what but this guy was one of them.

I don't know if he thought I was the guy he was arguing with but it's unjustifiable either way. He crashed us out, went to the pits, and disconnected.

I'll report him tonight. By the way, is there a right way to report or I just need to send an email to them with the .rpy file attached?

Well I'm back in the mix... :D
Just bought 1 month at the moment with a view to maybe making it a 3 month one after it expires.
Can't wait to try out this new tyre model or whatever they've done!

You'll need to provide the session's information, it appears on the top left of the results page + the .rpy file, just cut it to that part you've uploaded to Youtube.
Please don't let this clown get away with that, report him immediately!
 
Anybody else excited to get season 3 started? I am. This will be my first full season. Can't wait. Almost here.

I downloaded the Season3 schedule and want to give the Nvidia Rookie Cup that starts on 8/2/11 a go.

...dumb Q from new iRacing user. Where and when do you sign up for Season3? When I mouse-over the Series at the it only shows current season and past season. I will dig around the iRacing site for more info.
 
You don't have to sign up for anything. This past week was the fun week between seasons. You'll be able to start entering the races again normally when the season starts.
 
New skin :) (with flags on wings and stuff for the league)

ahhh...OK! got it! thank you for the info.
:)


OT, fantastic avatar. I love Wes Anderson's films and The Life Aquatic is my favorite of the bunch!
 
That skin looks awsome Hampus!! Love it! Did you see Fredrik's Dyson Racing ARX freebie? That one looks awsome too! Lot's of great looking designs floating arround!
 
I missed out on Laguna :( I had school, work, and now school again, hooray -.-.

Oh well, at least I'll be on tonight when the new people are struggling with the track, in hoping its Lime Rock this week :).
 
Just did 3 races of Laguna in the MX-5 tonight to get back into the swing of things.
First race was ruined by a spinner in front. :rolleyes:
2nd race I came 2nd after being held up spectacularly by some back markers. Had to do a full on emrgency stop for one of them... :ouch:
3rd race I won by about 30 seconds! :D
Can't wait for the Season proper to start off now!
 
Just had my best experience ever. Used to hate Laguna Seca, but just completed the last race of the week in the MX5 - came last, not too bothered about that but what I am chuffed over is that I didn't get many incidents!

I can see that if I put in enough practice I'll be able to move up a division or two with ease!

No haven´t seen that one, i´m banned but please post a picture of it :)
He´s a good skinner Follestad.
Again you trouble maker!!! Lol!! I'll post it up when I get home!

Woohoo!! Congratulations dude!! Well done man!

Guys I'm putting up a hosted session this Friday, thinking of doing FordGT/C6.R/MX5. Would be cool if egeryone here would join in!
 
This week they are running Summit point on the Mustang so I might try and get my MPR from that (4 races) and run the Mazda for the rest of the month. If my rating hits 4 before promotion I will be happy but if not, at least I have fulfilled the participation.

Doing it this way is the cheapest way for me, I've bought the mustang but I will hardly run it if this works.

What is your rating at now? With promotions 12 weeks away you shouldn't have any problems getting over 4. Hell that's how I got to my A license in two weeks whoring out the MX5 lol.
 
I thought promotions were monthly, or is that only rookie? I'm D license 3.4X or so, I should be up soon, I don't play often during the week though because of school and work.

Get yourself a Star Mazda and never go to the rookie MX5 series!!

What's a 'Star Mazda'? That series runs paid tracks too doesn't it? I'm probably just going to slowly accumulate the tracks as I need them. I have so much on my to by list, this game is expensive :P.

I've want to buy a new computer (to run this game better and others), tracks and cars, a real first car, probably a ps vita, a couple of ps3 games etc.

All on a checkout paycheck xD.
 
Quick question guys. Say after the first 3 months I don't think I'll be able to play much, for exams or whatever else. Can I skip a month and then continue with the same account with no in game penalties to ratings and that sort of thing?
 
Ok, as promised Hampus Dyson Racing ARX by Fredrik Follestad:
