really? i've warned shannon whitmore about it aswell.
and asked him to clean up my thread as you can see salma went nuts and posted the same thing 200 times.
Shannon just said "what! i can't see anything wrong"....
some staff members is a complete joke and they can't do their job. i honestly hope they get fired.

i hosted a spa race with 50 some racers. on pacelap i get a private message saying watch out for salma, he's a wrecker.
so i told him straight up and he was quite schocked that i knew.
he was way behind me but sure enough he punted some guys off before the bus stop...
 
I have a similar problem with my accelerator pedal. It starts twitching at the top between 90 and 100 percent and then it settles, this useually happens when I press it hard but sometimes it's just when it's beig pressed to the bottom, even with light pressure. Wht can I do about it? This has caused me to lose positions sometimes, especially on high speed turns before a straight line. There is no way I can get pedals by themselves, so what can I do?

I've had this problem a lot of times and always it was consequence of accumulated dust in the potentiomenter, you have two ways for fixing that, one is to open your pedal box and clean all the accumulated dust using a contact spray and the other way is to short calibrate your throttle in game, when you are calibrating your throttle and pressing the pedal you can set the number on the left at a value between 50 and 100, that will make the trick.
Cleaning your pedals is a better choice though because you'll lose a bit of smoothness when you short calibrate your throttle pedal.
 
Guys need some advice, wich car is the easiest to handle/drive?

Hit Class D this morning with a 5th place at Okayama in the MX5, got a +0.44 SR gain to put me at Rookie 4.42 and it levelled me to Class D 3.41. Happy boy here. :)

Woohoo!! Now get yourself a Mustang and take it all the way to C!!
If you go the Mustang route the track changes tomorrow to Road America, so don't waste your money on Zandvoort it has been dead this whole week!

Hampus I know you're watching, the league is getting pretty strong! We have 3 teams formed already in the last 3 days!
 
So do certain series get less popular on certain tracks? I did notice Okayama was less busy than Lime Rock in the nVidia cup, is it the same case with Zandvoort and Road America?

EDIT: I also already own Zandvoort as part of the promo code I used when I bought my subscription.
 
Seems to be that way, for some reason people don't like Zandvoort in the Mustang, I like it but it's been dead! Summit Point and the one before where pretty good! Hope Road America brings more people in!
So yeah all series seem to be that way!
 
Jav what happened to you mate? Completin qualifying and then not showing up for the race? tsk tsk

Predictably I set the best lap and then crashed :P Sitting in the pits currently.

edit: I stand corrected I ran the second best lap with a 1:00.790. Best lap was a 59.987 :crazy: Back to the TT drawing board for me ;)

Lol! Don't worry the quali time stands for the whole week, that was just to have a spot somewhere near the front for the next time I race!

Oooooh lol okay just tried running the cup car, amazing how much different the two are.
 
Anyone from here racing in nvidia cup this morning?

I am :grumpy: was just 20 seconds out front winning the damn race and someone who spun in last place decided it was a good idea to pull back into the middle of the freakin track :grumpy: Car basically totaled. PADDY NO HAPPY.
 
A few links of the news article written for the V8 Supercar Online Series last night.

Man that's what I hate about the Nvidia Cup! It is a lot of fun, but too many unconcious drivers that make it practically impossible to race and climb the ladder. I basically had to give up racing and play watch the idiot spin out to get out of Rookie license! My advice to you Patric is start from the back and don't race anyone! Just hang back, follow them till they take themselves out, you'll be making clean races and your SR will climb real fast! You'll be out of Rookie in a night! Once out of rookie you can either join the Grand Touring series, Mustang series or Skip Barber series wich are all a lot of fun and the quality of racers is much much higher!

Edit:

The regular drivers list is now filled!

the lincense is not all, more importend is the iR rating. with a high license but low iR rating you will start in the end again in the bad sessions. ;)

and something curious from me today.
http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=3649736&custid=49331

Yeah, some of the guys are respectfull and treat you properly, but some just want you out of the way and simply don't care if they take your line and make you crash, makes for some intense racing though!
I'll try to get in the 1:00 AM race tonight!
