Thanks, but i feel more like if i won the USA GP 2005,

Im realy not in same mood of race with 5 drivers like last year... its amazingly fun, you start a race, knowing that half of driver will do a 100% and wont have any point after the 8th finisher... that is hard to take, For me, even if im last, i cross the line, with out withou point.

Cya all in malaysia

Wow,
That was a great race for me at the beginning.I unfortunately had a 4 year old little girl hanging offa my neck as I was racing out of a corner and I had to quit as to not make my new girlfriend unhappy.That sucked big time but at least I know I can run with flow and the boys more on a level playing field than before.I couldn't get into the forum as I was taking apart my machine to put in the sli board and the new vid card.It runs great this morning so I am happier now with a kickass machine.Congrats flow on the victory.I am going to have to move this machine into the bedroom where I can have more peace and quiet during race time.I had to talk and race with my sons friends for the first half hour ...geeeez...then the new old lady shows up with her kid.Couldn't ask for more distractions...holy...anyway it was nice to have a full grid and people moving over respectfully for the leaders.I had a blast.I know some didn't.I suck at Malaysia but hopefully will give some people a run for their money.Hopefully the fuel problem will be fixed also.I was pushin pretty hard the first 20 laps to see how quick flow would do his laps.He did great and pushed back..LOL...should be a good year If the computers don't crash out...At least we all showed up and gave it a shot...thats what countes..No points for honda this time ..damn...

Congrats with the win Flow! Awesome!

My race was bad! Actually I expected the race to be real bad since I hardly practiced for the season opener. Surprisingly I managed to get a 1.31.9 in practice right before qualify started and that was a nice surprise! I even felt I could cut a few tenths off that time in qualify. Sadly I can't help myself but tweaking setups and I tried a new untested setup for the qualify and I only managed to get 1.33.2 in qualify. Bummer! But anyways the race nothing to write home about but I tried a 2 stopper strategy with a long 2nd stint which didnøt pay off since I got passed by first Hitman and then Steve B...

Something strange happened twice during the race. On my first stint I managed well, not making errors that cost time and still far off the pace of the front runners. Well, I tried a 20 lap first stint and with still 6 or 7 laps left of the stint I got the message that pitcrew was ready! That confused me alot and I was in the middle of having a good and solid run when that message distracted me and made me spin! Got passed by Juan 'cos I was way off the track and even stalled my engine so I had to restart my engine, check my fuel and that was a costly experience. Darn. I got the same message after I had pitted and refuel good but still same message after a short run. Anyone experienced the same message?

Hello Kaali
Yes I think we all recieve that measage.
This is because the fuel usage in the mod is wrong.
This is a little to late being that the problem is fixed now.
With the new update.
But the problem is that you set up for 20 laps in the setup folder. but for 20 laps of fuel you will actully get like 40 laps but the game do's not know this so it tells you it is time to pit on 20 laps even thou you still have 20 more laps of fuel left.

You have ignored this oh well you will get us next time.

Well that was a ton of fun, usual qualifying and race jitters, felt as though I was going to puke at any moment LOL. I went for a 2 stopper with pretty even fuel loads, thinking I could get a consistent setup that way. What I forgot was the number of times I crash and blow up my car per race which then involves unexpected pits thus more fuel because I forget to adjust in pit. After the last race of 2005 and an unfortunate hit on Juan I decided to take it easy at the start and not get tangled up with anyone, unfortunately because of my crappy computer I was forced to drop my visible players to 8 and had the same issues as Brad in T1 and 2. I got hit twice in T2 once to push me of the track and thanks to Brad back on the track LOL. No damage and I think I was in 10th or 11th position, as the race progressed was feeling fairly good and was relatively consistent with lap times until after the first pit when I lost my front wing and damaged the front suspension. Thankfully I was able to continue on with lap times in the mid 140's until the server crashed and somehow managed a point in 8th position.
I have to say this is much more fun and competitive for me than F1C where I was clearly outclassed by you all.
See you in Malaysia
Paul

Why is it that in the racecast results our names are crossed out?

Ruben Miranda · Post by **Ruben Miranda** » 23 Mar 2006, 22:46

Hello SteveB
I think that indecates that they are not Registered with RaceCast.

It means that you're not on the server and that you're not a registered RaceCast member. I'm guessing that the members are not crossed out because they are already underlined (due to being hyperlinked).

wow, my best possible lap was a 12.089! lol i wonder why on the first lap it gave me a negative 41 second sector 2 time? lag or something? i really would have had 3rd fast 2nd sector behind carrera and flow.
