WORLD WAGON CHAMPIONSHIP Fridays 17:30 EDT/22:30 BST: CONGRATS TO CHAMPION JOE__KERR/REEFER

Yeah, what Suts said. You've got to be there Blue! It's your show. :)

It's good of your girlfriend to open a room for us though. đź‘Ť (Hope that's sounds the way it's meant to!)


And what with the current network problems there might be some DC's to sort out. Hopefully not of course.
 
The network was rock solid last night, best it's been for a long time.
Even Rob didn't have any problems with his shaky Basingstoke connection.

Here's how I set that lobby up, Scott, (and how I normally always set them up)

-Club only
-4 stars
-No fixed ownership
-Voice chat disabled
-Maximum participants (if you aren't expecting 16, go for ~10 to 12)
-No visible damage
-No mandatory pitstops
 
no qualifying/fastest first
Jocke do you agree?
Oh yes, forgot about the Practice/Race bit. Yes that's certainly the way to go.
I see only positives by omitting qualifying mode. Fastest first in practice does the same job
with less loading screens.

And as always, empty/clear the cache at the main menu.

Most of this is based on Pauls suggestions in the past. đź‘Ť
 
I can't manage lads, have school today and tomorrow, so have a good one
You missed @tooma putting on a really good show.

Cheers @bloodyboyblue it was fun. Well the first race wasn't quite so much so. It turned out the VR-4 is a bit of a tyre smoker, I saw yours doing the same in race 2. :)
I fitted some race brakes and moved the power to the rear and it helped a lot in race 2.

See you next time.
 
Fantastic racing and much closer than I expected @bloodyboyblue

Well done @tooma with the 1st race win.đź‘Ť My airtrek was good fun but off the pace in the first race.

So I have no idea how it was so much faster on the full Cape Ring circuit!!
Can't believe I was fighting for first and leading the second race. :eek::DThat final lap just as the clock ran out, my tyres scrubbed out going round the 360 ring and @Mayhexx got me on the inside 5 corners from the finish line!!!

I had some really good battles and we had an excellent turnout. :cool::lol:

Thanks blue.

:cheers:
 
I forgot to save the replay of race 1, but here are some pictures from race 2...

"Unless I am very much mistaken.... I AM very much mistaken!"

"Mansell is slowing down, taking it easy. Oh no he isn't IT'S A LAP RECORD."

"This is an interesting circuit, because it has inclines. And not just up, but down as well."

"The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical."

"The most important part of the car is the nut that holds the wheel."

"I know it's an old cliche, but you can cut the atmosphere with a cricket stump."

"Tambay's hopes, which were nil before, are absolutely zero now."

"And there's no damage to the car. Except to the car itself."

"That's the first time he had started from the front row in a Grand Prix, having done so in Canada earlier this year."

"Here in Malaysia, it doesn't rain here by the bucketful, it rains by the ocean."

"How you can crash into a wall without it being there in the first place is beyond me!"

"Excuse me while I interrupt myself"

"And the first five places are filled by five different cars."

"And Damon Hill is following Damon Hill."

"Michael Schumacher is leading Michael Schumacher."

"Jean Alesi is 4th and 5th."

"Villeneuve is now twelve seconds ahead of Villeneuve."

"Frentzen is taking, er, reducing that gap between himself and Frentzen."

"This has been a great season for Nelson Piquet, as he is now known, and always has been."

"It's lap 26 of 58, which unless I'm very much mistaken is half way."

"I'm ready to stop my start watch."

"Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin. Unless this is the action, which it is!"

"I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem."

"He's obviously gone in for a pit stop. I say obviously, because I cannot see anything."

"And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't surprising as this is an all Escort race."

"He is exactly 10 seconds ahead, or more approximately, 9.86 seconds."

"Look up there! That's the sky!"

"There's nothing wrong with his car except that it's on fire."

"I don't want to tempt fate but Damon Hill is now only half a lap from his first Grand Prix win and… and HE'S SLOWING DOWN, DAMON HILL IS SLOWING DOWN… HE'S... HE'S STOPPED!"

"As you look at the first four, the significant thing is that Alboreto is fifth."

"He's the only man on the track, except for his car."

"You might think that's not cricket, and it's not. It's motor racing."

"And Michael Schumacher is actually in a very good position. He is in last place."

"One light, two lights, three lights, four laps, five lights, go, go, go!"

"That's history. I say history because it happened in the past."

"There are a lot of IFs in Formula One, in fact IF is Formula One backwards!"

"Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does."

I never knew there were so many funnies from Mr W. You sure there isn't some Chick Murray mixed in Colin? There are some crackers!
 
Lol I'm playing through some only an excuse in my head right now! For the non Scottish, Google "only an excuse" hogmanay satire. Too funny
 
Och wur aw jock tampsons weans

Och aye but wasnie it "bairns"??;)

'We're all Jock Tamson's bairns' is a popular saying in Scotland and indeed is known in other parts of the world. The Reverend John Thomson {Jock Tamson} was a much-loved minister of Duddingston Kirk, Edinburgh from 1805 to 1840. He called the members of his congregation 'ma bairns' {my children}and this resulted in folk saying 'we're all Jock Tamson's bairns' which gave a sense of belonging to a small but special group. Nowadays, the phrase is often used to indicate we're all the same under the skin.
