May I add “The Last of Us” to the list of must play games. The storyline is terrific (especially the second half), and the multiplayer is the most unique and best multiplayer I’ve ever experienced. So the overall package is amazing. It’s right up there with the favourite games I’ve ever played!
6th January 2014, 12:27 at 12:27 pm #247751ShaneB457ParticipantIf this is a seperate championship to the normal one which would be running around March, will the races be on every second week or how would it work?
5th January 2014, 13:13 at 1:13 pm #244318ShaneB457ParticipantReally sorry guys. I didn’t have access to the internet for the last few days and couldn’t notify you that I wouldn’t be able to make it.
1st January 2014, 15:33 at 3:33 pm #247741ShaneB457ParticipantI’m going to share my thoughts on this. Sorry if anyone is annoyed by my negativity..
It’s a pity that we have to resort to this because attendance has been poor. And I’m not really happy with these changes. Sure, racing the old cars are fun, but I don’t like them enough to want to spend over half the season racing them. It’s going to be 2 3rds of the season racing the old cars correct? Meh.. I prefer the 2013 cars, and just the normal rules.
Let me get this straight.. The buying of cars and all that means that the car performance for each race will not be equal? I can’t see how that’s a good thing. Then in each race a certain number of people will be at a big advantage and disadvantage performance-wise. It may lead to more variation, but it just mixes things up a bit too much for my liking. Anyone else think the same? Probably not..
Also, the calendar. I think anyone will agree with me that we should pick tracks that yield the best opportunity for overtaking and fun racing which is what we’re here for right? So.. most of the tracks that should be picked have got to be largely wide, have some long straights, and are fast and flowing. So please.. whoever is in control of making the calendar, please consider this. Tracks like Jerez, Hungary, Imola shouldn’t get a look in, in my opinion.
Again, sorry to be negative, but I’ve really enjoyed this league so far and it’s just a little disappointing to see changes being made that are not to your liking. But of course, I know that something has to be done to improve attendance.
I like the idea of two races in one day though. So two one shot qualifying sessions and two 25% races. That would be great.. or maybe a random grid 25% race for the second race with no qualifying. I honestly think that having two shorter races each Sunday, a proper fun calendar and just 2013 cars would be a good change. Also maybe even a random selection of cars for each race or race weekend? So people would be in different cars a lot. Please concider this. Thanks!

And I’ve always thought of a mass disconnection as a group of people disconnecting at the same time. I think the rules don’t exactly say this, as this term is supposed to be generally understood.
I think it was me, you and Harry who disconnected? Harry quit, and I think there was about 5 laps in between both of our disconnections Jamie, so really I can’t see why there can be any debate on this. The people who disconnected don’t get points, and we look forward to the next race where we’ll hopefully have more luck!
23rd December 2013, 21:45 at 9:45 pm #241123ShaneB457ParticipantOk, how about we award points for those who disconnected in the order: Shane was last so gets the points for 5th, you for 6th, Ben or Harry for 7th?
The fairest decision I can think of is awarding Half points to yourself, Joe, Ed and myself. I haven’t gone over the Rules & Regualtions myself but pls do consider it
Am I reading something wrong or are we discussing who should get points and in what order? But the rules state that “If you complete 90% of the race distance, even with a DNF, you get points. If not, you don’t.”
So the people who disconnected shouldn’t get points. Or am I missing something?
22nd December 2013, 12:08 at 12:08 pm #241110ShaneB457ParticipantMass disconnection refers to when a couple of people drop out at the same time. This wasn’t the case. I mean Harry ragequitted I think.
22nd December 2013, 11:30 at 11:30 am #241107ShaneB457ParticipantIts grand @f199player. Lag can sometimes be awful in this game.. today was one of those days unfortunately! I think that everyone was fine driving wise, it’s just that lag messed things up badly
22nd December 2013, 10:57 at 10:57 am #241100ShaneB457ParticipantIf there was anyone I hit or made contact with, sorry! On my screen I didn’t but i felt I was lagging a lot! Apologies!
20th December 2013, 23:04 at 11:04 pm #244287ShaneB457ParticipantWe have a race this Sunday don’t we? Just to tell you that my internet is acting up so there is a good chance I won’t make it. Sorry.
15th December 2013, 17:10 at 5:10 pm #241086ShaneB457Participant15th December 2013, 11:47 at 11:47 am #241083ShaneB457ParticipantI’ll make this quick :)
Took pole by 6 tenths. Car felt good in quali. Made a terrible start. lost out to Jamie and Bradley into turn 1 and then Ed got by me. He made a mistake and I passed him. Got past Bradley when he rejoined after a pitstop. Then he nudged me into the gravel under braking at turn 3. Had terrible race pace in general as the car felt horrible. So much understeer and horrible traction.. and this meant that my tyres were wearing so badly. At one point I let my teammate through as I would have just held him up when he had a chance to catch Bradley. At one stage Jamie hit the back of me at the exit of turn 4, sending me into a mini spin into the wall on the left which damaged my front wing quite badly. I then disconnected with 3 laps to go. Also on my last pitstop, I wanted options but for some reason my pit crew put me on primes. So the last few laps weren’t enjoyable at all really.
Dissapointing. But I dunno.. the setup was just really bad in the race.
15th December 2013, 0:51 at 12:51 am #241079ShaneB457ParticipantAnd yerp, the race will be held in the magnificent Albert Park circuit!
15th December 2013, 0:50 at 12:50 am #241078ShaneB457ParticipantNow there’s commitment.
14th December 2013, 21:08 at 9:08 pm #241076ShaneB457ParticipantWe have a race tomorrow everyone :)
