@f199player Great win. There are occasions where you use the run off. Why is this? It doesn’t look like an accident.

@JamieFranklinF1 You were actually spinning before I made contact. It was @robocat you collided with (see my video) and I was trying to escape from that. I basically made it worse, but there wasn’t a lot I could do, and I was trying not to spin my car.

@robocat I think it’s clear you’re angry.

@bradley13 Just tagging you in this anyway!

Here’s my video, anyway. (I couldn’t find the channel/password?) I’ve made it into a sort of guide with examples, as I feel some incidents need to be learnt from and explained more clearly. It reveals that not everyone is mentioning their own mistakes during races, and also clears up a few incidents, including a few from my perspective. It also shows when LAG really is an issue compared to people just using it as an excuse. ‘Idiot’ refers to me, not @ed24f1 . Quality is shocking.

At the moment I’m pretty sure I don’t want to resume with this. It’s not so much the racing, but the whole ‘everyone else is in the wrong and I would have got loads of points’ attitude that seems to crop up in everyone’s race review before any incident has really been discussed. Like gentlemen should. There’s a whole lot of bitterness, blamethrowing and immaturity which is very, very childish. The racetrack does not belong to you only. Argue your corner by all means, but first of all try growing a pair and accepting responsibility for your actions.

@Electrolie – Sorry about that then, all I could see on my screen was the Sauber, but clearly it wasn’t you xD. I think the lag is far worse than people realise, and I would usually say that it was the UK vs Australia connection, and that is part of the case, because Ed was everywhere during that race, and yet wasn’t, if that makes sense. However, my screen showed something completely different to what F199 was showing in his video…

Anyway, I don’t think I’ll race here for the foreseeable future, because it’s not quite as enjoyable, considering races can be ruined by something that doesn’t actually happen…

@bradley13 I know this is a extremely difficult problem to solve but this is now out of control. Lag is now single handedly destroying the league driver by driver. There isnt one race where someone or something is lag free. Something HAS to done for the future of the league because even the calmest of us, like Electrolite, is saying enoughs enough. Now whether we find a new host or split the championships or cap the amount of drivers we need to do something, as we are internally imploding as a community over an event that didnt happen and is out of our control. This needs to sorted, quickly…

There’s not much that can be done until Codemasters fund dedicated servers, and that isn’t going to happen any time soon…

@olliekart @ed24f1 @bradley13

It’s not all lag, and as Ed says, there’s not much Bradley can do about that, Ollie.

As my video shows and explains, incidents where lag is involved are still avoidable. And I’ll say again…

Drivers aren’t owning up their own mistakes on track, as my video shows numerous times. So when something unlucky does happen to them, they’re somehow automatically cheated out of a would-be win, or podium. And they effectively lie in their reviews. Without an honest foundation like that, they’ll be no respect on track either. It’s just a game, and we all want to have fun.

There’s definitely a pattern of drivers who are getting involved in incidents more than others. No names mentioned. Monza will be the ultimate test, if you ask me.

@Moss-611, @BROOKSY007, @ed24f1, @abboracing, @olliekart, @f199player, @shyguy1992, @jezson, @tongy95, @RoboCAT, @david-a, @shaneb12345678910, @kcampos12, @electrolite, @spud – Right guys. As I’m sure you’re all aware our next race is Monza, this coming Sunday. HOWEVER, this coming Sunday is also fathers day here in the UK :/, and so I’m worried we may not be able to have many participants. Can I get a rough idea from you all as to whether you can make it so I can decide whether to hold or postpone the race. Thanks guys.

ed24f1 said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

Oli Peacock said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

I will be able to make it at 10am. BTW down to a 1:18 flat in the lotus, ive love to see what i could do in the Macca!

#
Dizzy-A said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

I think most people will have plans with their children and parents on Sunday, so we obviously have to postpone the race.

#
Oli Peacock said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

Bit quick to assume that David arent we… :P

#
Bradley Downton said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

To be honest, I’m with @david-a at the moment.

#
electrolite said 11 months, 2 weeks ago:

@bradley13 I can make it.
