@Nige - Random question but I am just curious if you can speak welsh?

 

[Wardez]

I was surprised by his accent when we met up. He's quite Welshy lol xD

I always imagined him having a regular Canadian accent haha, didn't know he lived over there most of his life, just thought he was proud to be from there.

That's what I'm trying to tell you, the race time did/will change for some people. DST is not active throughout the world right now, a lot of countries start observing DST Sunday the 25th, which means when EST became EDT, either those observing DST would race a different time, or those not observing it would, because the hours changed for only one.
Now as DST kicks on for other countries, we're going by EDT, their race time will be changing back to the previous time before the US started DST.

Of course, if we have any people like yourself racing in D2 (not observing DST), their race time will be normal again this week, but anyone in D1 not observing DST yet is running a different start time for now.

Isn't Aderrrm still on BST?

According to Brosif, I have a Canadian accent; though I never noticed it myself. Other people I've talked to (mainly British) have said I sound American. lol

Anyway, I want to get some practice in tonight, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to, since a certain inpatient person keeps bugging me over and over again and about doing Nascar stuff. It's getting annoying.

 

[CSLACR]

BST begins the 25th.

If he always goes by GMT, or always goes by GMT +1, then his race times would be unaffected, yes. It would have to be a constant relation to GMT.

I believe DST kicks in the day after this race for cicua too, though I could be mistaken.

 

[Müle]

Why does DST even exist in 2012, anyway?

I think the general consensus is that people r stoopid.
That's why.

Well I haven't heard you, but if British people say you sound American, but Americans say you sound Canadian, you probably sound Canadian, and the Brits can't tell the difference.

You know, like most Americans can't tell Brits and Aussies apart, or maybe even Scottish and Irish.

 

[Wardez]

Oh your accent is totally Canadian Mule. Lol I miss hearing every one sometimes, one of these days we should use mics in a little spot race or something sometime soon.

That room's closed. 👍

Gives us something else to complain about.

And reveal my less-than manly voice? Never!

Room open for about an hour if anyone is interested

Closed

Very little actually and would struggle to string a sentence together

I certainly don't have a strong welsh accent either, but the UK has such a huge variety of regional accents it would be hard to for you guys to pick them out I'm sure

 

[RIPDeadMansHand]

The Welsh accent is simply a cover up for his Xaxion Regulon 8 home world accent. Welsh is the closest thing on Earth to an ailen language!

Course, he'll tell ya that I just sound like a mid-westren good 'ol boy, but you just can't trust an alien.

 

[carracerptp]

I will be Qing tonight, around 9pm-EDT.

Hey guys, I just updated both the Driver and Team point standings with the following:

- Added Drop column to Team standings
- Marked Round 7 as "Canceled"
- Highlighted dropped races so they are easier to see on both sheets
- Color coordinated positions to see who is "in" and who is "out" of the Championship race
- Added column to Driver standings so drivers who are "out" can see the difference to the cutoff spot

Driver Standings
Team Standings

Feedback?

Edit: What would you guys think of a separate team championship race race, something unique for say the top 6 teams?

I think this is a great idea but the only place I feel we should have this race would be at the Ring, 24H variety with day/night cycle. No caution periods and at least 8+ laps.

 

[Dr_Watson]

I think it would be pretty cool to have a team-shootout. 👍
Setting the starting order based on points would make for a nice photo with all the team cars in different rows.

That might be a bit much.

That could be arranged.

I was thinking something along the lines of 2 races about 20 minutes each, possibly reverse order for the second race.

I could see that being cool. Then average all 4 finishing positions (2 cars x 2 races) to declare the top-team.

 

[GrayFox32]

I'll be out of town this weekend so I won't race this week.

Good luck everyone!

Pish posh. Fine, five laps around the 24Hour Ring without a day/night cycle and no cautions or mandatory pit stops.

 

[Green]

Adam has finished 1 race and is ahead of me on points

thanks for posting that setup outlaw me like 👍

Any stewards gona be around in a hour or 2 to Q me ?

I'll think of something exciting. Got a long ways to go till then.

I should be around in an hour or so. Just post a room number and I'll find you 👍

As for the Team Shoot-out, sounds like a lot of fun . Emphasis should be on fun, so I like Jason's idea of 2 x 20 min races with 1 reverse grid 2nd race. Having 1 team/row would be pretty neat too as the good Dr. suggested. Picking a fairly 'Drafty' track should make the racing even more FUN too

 

[CodeRedR51]

Drafty? Route X.....

Maybe we'll get another DLC track before then so we can use it.

You could make a custom Eiffel since we scrapped round 7

or we could use Kart Space
