Well im happy to have finished this race. i was nervous cause i tought i woud have been hit on 1st corner, but seem we made a little train up for 1 lap, all in other ass. i went side by side with Motorhead on the straight to Casino, but just when i was gonna release gas to let him go, he did few.sec before me. Then i was put in front, if i went confused, cause i tought wy did i tried to get him so fast in race. He lift off to avoid any accident, but i was gonna backoff, im glad i didnt crated a bad situation. But i now i got 4 nuthead, licking my ass waiging for me to clear the way, lol, i got piss off and went to fast in 1st corner of lap2 and spin, and back in 5 position i went, just behind.

I was too far to see but somthing happend to Carrera, and i almost got Himant, seem that i cut him on exit of hairpin. Was ok, but borderline to be not clean. Il take a look at replay, sorry Hitman, everything was going soo fast.

Again, i had Hitman in my ass, or at least he was eating .sec eatch lap. from a 20 sec advantage i got in begining, it went to 5sec neer the 58laps, then his brake blew away. i was left alone from there. I was trying to save brakes, and let Himand catch slowly, calculating to let him catch up, but also not too mutch to let him pass. I think hes chasing on me cost him his brake.

I went in a bad situation with Motorhead

, he was +2lap behind, and he coudnt pass me cause he woud get blue flag, and i coundt let him go by slowing, Hitman was at 8 sec behind... so i gont him in my ass for few lap, I NEVER SWET LIKE TAHT BEFORE.... shit i was piss off, and was coming out form a pit, full fuel, and cold tire, dam he pay me the 5 worst nightmare lap of my life, lol.

In general was not a bad race, didnt touch any wall, only 3 litle spins taht cost me less than 5 sec eatch... not bad...

Cya in USA...

I was afraid of my brake, dont know how it was set fo you guys, but mine were brake duc to 7 and pressure to 75%, hehe even on 3 last lap, i tried to do the fastedt lap i can, did 1:17.902 my pb race setup, hehe but wasnt the fastest lap of div1

so my setup seem pretty safe... cant be the fastest like that, but anyway how coud i, lol

I'm not in div1, but for comparison, I ran 3 rad, 3 brake ducts and 85% brake pressure. I had to go smooth because of suspension problems but I made it to the end with no brake-related worries.

Flow · Post by **Flow** » 13 Jun 2005, 04:42

ok , look at the replay, it was clean exit hairpin, but i slighlty went to right to try to keep a good line, probably you didnt expect i did that, but i didnt knoew you were close, almost got contact, but 1 tire space between us, and was clean smooth move, but tricky like you said

was fun

An i think il keep the replay of div1 of that race, can you imagine 5 car, folowing ass in ass, for almost 2 lap, when i say ass in ass, i mean it, its realy close racing, but an hit happend in hairping, that cost Carrera back wing, you almost go avoid, he hit you by nothing on my replay, but on braking, a bird shit can make you spin... hehe

Brad, on replay you stalled at one point for almost 10sec of lag. and reapear in front of carrera later. Dont know if he lost you in vision, but you were victim of a lag.

carrera · Post by **carrera** » 13 Jun 2005, 06:02

Well that was a race to remember eh?.
I got a Canadian enema and had to get a rear wing.Everything would have been fine and I was just mototring around when the phone rang going into hairpin.Needless to say,I did not make the hairpin..LOL...Brad disappeared for about 10 seconds then came back clear as day.The scoring though showed him a lap down and after I went ot the pits and came out it showed Brad 2 lasp down.I felt pretty bad for him then.I saw motor commin with a full head of steam so I got out of the way quick and let him go half a lap later boom missed the hairpin cause of phone.Worst part was.I had planned to unplug the damn thing before race...go figure..
in conclusion.Hmmm maybe I am villeneuve in disguise.I seem to have his luck anyway.muhahaha...LOL...
p.s I ran in chimpsters room after that to get my racing fill....LOL...

It was cool to see 11 drivers on that test race, but then I understand that everyone had to split up in different divisions to race. I didn't see lag after the first lap it look good after that, it's just that server needs to synchronize after a lap......maybe a formation lap test on a off race weekday would be nice to test it out, or maybe not

congrads Flow on your win today

carrera · Post by **carrera** » 13 Jun 2005, 14:53

Yes motor,
It was some cars in wrong position at start but before I kicked out it seemed to start to get better.F1c runs on proximity code so when we are all together.Lag is the most present.For People like merc who runs with a 100 megabit connection it seems just fine.Running full graphics also does not help the problem and maybe even nortons running in the background,or similar programs may hinder the f1 program.It is an iffy situation and I am going to have to just blast EA sports for a shitty netcode.Otherwise we could all be racing together.

as i as well. hence the 2 laps down bit. yea, first lap was good, flow made a little mistake, let motor by, but it bunched us all up. going down to hairpin, everyone disapears, then once they come back, im *inches* infront of carrera. i did keep going, after flows spin from the lead, i was second to motor, feeling pretty good with the fuel i had, then the damn wheel thing again. i have the center patch for the momo installed, but it doesnt seem to do shit. if i turn my wheel really fast(countersteer) it resets center to some crazy crap like turned halfway left!!!! think it was lap 3 or 4, i basically had to stop on track, just to reset the wheel. pretty soon i will have to get something else, or just give it up, im tired of this crap. i will burn, possibly explode the momo, but ill get a vid for everyone(also for logitech, teh) flow, i finaly called it quites, once it thought i was 2 laps down, and not recording my laps, it would be very tough to figure out were i really was. but once i quite, i look, no laps recorded at all, so we would not have been able to add up the lap times, only watch the whole replay, switching between drivers, to try and figure it out, and who wants to deal with that crap when already a lap down. i should have kept going, but i was a little frustrated for multiple reasons. but its all good, im ready to do it all again, at home this time!

Motorhead · Post by **Motorhead** » 14 Jun 2005, 07:42

yeah sorry to hear about your wheel problem Brad but when ever you get those problems this is what I do, just turn off the force feedback effect on your wheel for about 2 or 3 laps and it should go away. Oh and about quitting when your lap for 1 or 2 laps don't quit just because you lost a wing or a car behind you hit's you. Look at me I lost like 4 wings on that race and I was lap down 2 laps on 3rd place behind Hitman until Hitman car broke down on the last 5 laps because of brake failures he had to retire and I took P2 after that. Like they say "you never know what's going to happen in F1"

. I wished you the best of luck on the next races to come,

brad · Post by **brad** » 14 Jun 2005, 07:52

true, you never know whats going to happen. we must have different wheels, i dont have a button for ff, its in software, but i dont use ff anyway. unfortunatly with my wheel, the only way is to turn it full left, then full right, which i have actually pulled off while im driving, or should i say spinning!! lol. yea, ive tried everything in the book, finally got the pedals fixed, took em apart, glued the sensor pots, put the tape on the shaft, took care of that, now just the damn center thing. kinda sucks, as i have fast reactions, i cant help turning it very quickly when i need/have to

Hello All
I really don't have or want to say much about this race. I feel really bad about it. I know I made 2 very bad moves (I have not watched the replay yet) that more then likly messed up 2 of the drivers race.
I think it was Carrarra and Brad. My applogizes.

I don't think I hit them but I did that dive bomb tactic in to the corner and could not handle it. Dumb move wont happen again.

Hitman

carrera · Post by **carrera** » 15 Jun 2005, 14:53

Yo guys,
Shit happens and I got a rear wing and went on.Then the phone and again.SHit happens.Its not a big deal hitman.You followed me flawlessly for many laps and I had much less downforce than you for sure causing me to brake a little earlier than you into the hairpin.I was debating whether to just let you by at the time anyway since your laptimes were faster than mine.Brads problem with that wheel sounds like a real bitch.
I have no real answer for that one unfortunately.I do have some advice though m8.I am so far out of the championship its not funny,but.I still like to race with good drivers and I have a lot of fun now.I have been a little frustrated as I lost all of my setups from NAR for the last 2 years and had to start over but I will get there in time.I think killahead is right though.We are all nice people..LOL>...I guess thats why we still all race together.I do kinda miss having erick here though.I used a new setup from belgium in this race.That was a mistake but it will be perfect for the U.S.A race.see ya there m8's

Carrera let me send you my setups I will like to help you or anyone who will like a try to test my setups.

carrera · Post by **carrera** » 15 Jun 2005, 22:55

Ok Motorhead,
You can just post a few setups right here in the forum and anyone can give them a try.It may actually give me a basic setup for some of the tracks and get me ahead of the game as my time to try them is pretty limited these days

.But any help would be appreciated of course.I think soem of the newer guys might also like to try them to give them a heads up for the next few races....again...thanx m8...It can be a bithc tryin to get a good setup made in a short time before race.

Flow · Post by **Flow** » 16 Jun 2005, 02:01

I actualy tried motor setup and went fine, but i also tried my Canada one, and seem little slower but more stable, or was i only getting use tot he track, humm il have to find out, but in both case... With my Canada setup i did a 1:12.301 and i saw Motor did a 1:11.5xx, again, almost a sec faster for him, IL PUT ROCKS UNDER YOUR SEAT!!!, lol

carrera · Post by **carrera** » 17 Jun 2005, 15:01

Well,
After a little tweaking and a little shuckin and jive'in.I seem to have a little better setup with a lot more stability for the U.S.A race.A couple of corners bite me on occasion but I think I can handle that as I have been running with full fuel all the time.I just have to work on a good setup for qualifying and I think I will start in a better position other than last.wheeeee..LOL..or maybe not..LOL(again).Thanx again motor for the help.
