Don't feel too bad the game just cut me off i guess. I'm driving along and boom on the main screen. I think this may very well end my season here. What a waste of time that turned out to be.

Koma · Post by **Koma** » 20 Mar 2006, 03:50

Sorry guys, my router seems to have frozen, first time it does that.

Joining room now.

What room are we talking about??

Bilbo · Post by **Bilbo** » 20 Mar 2006, 04:22

OK, as the race was very near the 50% mark but not past it, we had a vote about what to do. A majority of drivers agreed to call it quits as if we were past 50%.

We're now trying to work out the positions and times. We'll keep you informed about the results ASAP.

Bilbo · Post by **Bilbo** » 20 Mar 2006, 04:52

Upon further review of the logs (and racecast) and the replay, the race crashed on lap 30 and is thus fully legal, no matter the vote's result.

Steve · Post by **Steve** » 20 Mar 2006, 05:08

my race crashed on lap 6 i think, lol

SteveB · Post by **SteveB** » 20 Mar 2006, 05:27

OMG!!!!!

WHAT a RUSH!!!

It is so amazing with bigger grids alot more action going on.
Too bad the server crashed, would have been nice to see the outcome.

Sorry to those who didn't finish, and CONGRATS to FLOW on his win to start the 06 season.

See you in MALAYSIA.

ok, so its over

well for me, this was much better than i had originally thought. i really was worried, i had not done much testing(only tesing was online testing) anyways, we all know now that i like to run 1 stops, and when i joined late(flow you told me 8!, jk, i guess that was eastern)and new i was going to start last, i knew i had to go one stop. but i go into setup, and a full tank is enough for 17laps, what!! surely this must be a conspiracy to keep me from running 1 stops, but no dumbass, just a bug. so after i calmed down

and i heard a couple of different fuel consumption figures, i just decided to fill her up, and hope for the best. kinda got a bad start, forgot about the light deal, but was still able to make up some ground by t1. next it was havoc between t1 and t2, cars started appearing all over the place(my graphics card sucks, so max visable cars is set to 6!) next thing i know, my toyota teamate(paul) spun, appeared infront of me out of nowhere, and i drove right through him! lol, sorry mate, anyways, i somehow got into 5th the first lap i think, made it up to 4th behind hitman where i stayed a few laps. i was making ground on him and flow, not alot, but some, when i spun and lost my front wing. there goes the one stop. came out of the pits, decided my goal was to try and get carreras fastest lap, almost did it too, but not enough(34.6) was my fastest i think. anyways, once aaron went off infront of me, i was 18secs behind kaali, trying to close down. i made up some time, i think kaali maybe went wide a few times, becuase the gap droped alot a couple of times. then, i had a big slide, caught it, but as usual my damn msff wheel decided to reset its center, so now im turning right just to go straight!(think kimi in sepang today) so tried to drive like that, spun again, stalled, end of story. oh well, was fun, good to see and talk with everyone again. so far, 2 leagues, 0-2 (the other league im in, first race jump into 4th at t1, 44 lap race carring 34laps of fuel, one stop required, im sitting nice, but my graphic card cannot handle so many drivers with gp2 mod for some reason, and is crazy laggy! i could have won that damn race! btw, if anyone wants to see replays from the other league let me know, i can send them.) holy crap this is a long post, sorry for the rambling................ramble mode=off

Congratulation to all who race today, was fun to see that big grid.

Brad, watch out the 6 visible car, i put it to 8 instead. the danger is in a big crash, it not your video, the computer show you the closest car from you, when all driver pass a stop car, it apears at last minutes.

Im so lucky to have win with a +0.270 on Hitman, sorry for the stolen points Himan

went on a side by side on start with Carrera, but since i knew that Carrera would be a pain int he ass having him in back, new game, 1st race, ididnt want to know how i would felt, so i didnt fight for the T1, i let him the outside. Anyway, he was already trying to save it, i didnt lift off, only didnt try it. then, i went alone, watching Carrera fliyng and gaining +a 1sec eatch lap... From more than -20sec in back, i start to watch Hitman, saving my 2nd, and hoping Carrera will make me a gift. Ho, thanks SantaClausCarrera

sorry for you. anyway my statistic on you finishing, i was not afraid, but i know one day, you get it.

Slow down and follow me, lol.

I was more concern by Hitman in back, average of +4-7 sec in back. Hitman, always same story, im a little shit that is able to get in front of you, and make you rush like hell. In other hand, im always looking for an advance of +20 sec and sit on it to save my car, BUT NO!!! your always staying too close, and im anoying about my mechanic.

I spun on last lap (what i thought was only middle race) and lost the 10sec of Hitman. I almost let him pass, but with 2 sec, i had time to come back in front. End of that lap, Hitman overpass me with draft, but was after finish line, witch was condiser as the final one, du to server crash.

ToroRosso : im lucky like Bull Shit

BTW, congrats to all.

Those first few laps were quite hectic with lots of close racing.

For myself, I was on a 2-stops strategy. I passed Juan at the start because he took some time to launch. After that, it was just a matter of staying alive and out of trouble. I hit one of the Williams that was getting back on track in the first couple of laps, all my apologies. I went wide a few times, letting lots of people pass. One one of those occasion on lap 4, I spun when re-entering the track, losing the rear wing. It would not have been so bad if I had not spun a few more time before limping back to the pits, really damaging the rear suspension badly. I took my normal fuel and repairs on that pit and went back on track, trying not to be dangerous to others, and having to move out of the way of faster cars quite often.

I managed to survive until about lap 25 for my 2nd pitstop. Since there were only about 32 laps to go (or less since I was likely to be lapped again before the end), I decided to fill the tank fully (125 litres), go for soft tyres instead of super soft, having a little prayer, thinking that since I could not push because of the bent suspension, I might as well play safe and try to salvage some points by going for an endurance race.

Unfortunately, I'll never know if that was to be a good idea because a couple of laps later, I was driving all alone by myself, wondering where everyone had gone and finding the track eerily silent (notwithstanding the screaming V10 at my back). After a lap by myself and getting no answer to my chat request, I decided to have a look at the pits, where I could only see the cars that had abandoned earlier. After a few moment's reflection, I exited the race, only to find that my network was down because my router/firewall seemed to be locked up. A reset of the router brought things back but the damage was done. I really don't know what happened as that router has been rock-steady for years (GNet IP0006, one of the first of those little router/firewall boxes, from the days when they cost hundreds of dollars). Maybe it is the beginning of the end...

Hello Guys
Man is it great to see a big grid.

I was beyound nerves even in Qual I could not keep might feet from shaking leading to a slower lap (But was surprised to be 3rd) still nerves.

@ the race and still nerves I decided to not try to win just get behind someone and have some fun gaining some experience.
After a couple of small bumps at T1 I came out in 5th and I was good with that. I was on a 2 pit straegy and as the laps started klicking off I got more and more confertable and then it happen (that liittle voice inside my head) lets go for it

So I did getting up in to 4th and then 3rd when I started making little mistakes so I backed off and a few laps later I pitted.
Coming out still in 3rd with fuel and fresh tires I decided to push again and hoping the front runners would make a mistake Carr was way to far ahead to even hope of catching him and Flow well maybe but I know he is a cool custermer and saves his car to the end. But I wanted to really push and test this setup so I went for it. Flow must have pitted or made a mistake when I saw I was really catching him I was low on fuel so It was easy to catch and pass him on the startiaght but I over shot t1 and he regained his position. Then it was ok have 1 stop to do so put the presure on stay close and maybe get the pass in the final laps. When all of a sudden drivers where dropping like fly's I new it was over then connection lost.

Up untill this point it was a great fun race.
Well 2nd I will take that and be happy to get it.
Flow seems you always just edge me out everytime But Maylasia is coming so here is to the rematch from last season.

Cu in Maylaysia

Great racing guys
