    I just had a look at my cars and don't really have any I can use, so I won't worry about it. I thought I had some, but don't.

    Just a little bit annoyed about tonight and that's being generous, firstly the Audi a4 was 5 secs off the pace, I know I'm not the fastest guy in the track bit I'm not THAT far off ( and I had been practicing) actually to be close to the qual pace engine limiter would have to be at 100% not the asthmatic 61% to get down to 520pp, so then tried the div3/4 only (the only other car i had) M3 and at 520pp it wasn't much faster, (maybe in a straight line but not overall) I'm sorry but this just wasn't an even playing field.
    Before you say "you just chose the wrong car" I thought that testing had been done for this to establish parity between all the cars but it seems it was a bit off the mark.
    Then to top it all off I missed the race anyway, practiced all morning, worked out a bit of a strategy and was really looking forward to this and all for nothing, hope you all had a good time because I know my time was wasted.

    Cheers

    Hey Bud,

    Don't worry..

    I know how you feel I had I server disconnect and one at qualifying that resulted in a one qualifying lap lol
    In practice today I was running low 1.08.145 but had a little fun with emo and mus running at the back of the pack.

    Let's see if we can run a similar event very shortly.



    Cheers Mr Vendal :cool:

    Damn, pissed off to get DC'ed, had a good early battle with cyber and vodas, was a really enjoyable race, tough to try and keep that RX7 behind with its straight line speed.
    Was looking forward to the rest of it, lost connection coming up to Spoon corner.

    I have moved our site to a new host, these small glitches are bound to popup.

    Everything should be running normally now.

    Please provide feedback in the feedback section if your having more issues.

    Cheers guys

    I did all my Testing at Trial Mountain, and the times from fastest to slowest was within a second, i don't see how you could of been 6 seconds off the pace to be honest, and the M3 was pretty much right on the money, Ill test those two cars at Suzuka later today just to make sure, because i honestly can't see it.

    I enjoyed it, was way off the pace with a best lap in the 10s but running mostly 12s and 13s. I wanted to race against my div 3 buddies but after running behind Evil for a few laps gradually falling back I got into a battle with Mus as he came from the back. It was a good battle over a lap or 2 but inevitably I lost it trying an ambitious outside pass in the esses. I had a couple of battles with Ven and they were also good until I spun. I found myself last very early on and then put my attention to close on Close. I got on his tail but ran out of road going into spoon. I noticed he was doing a 3 stopper to my 2 so I just concentrated on staying close enough to get him at his last pit stop, it worked.
    My next target was to stay on the lead lap and I just managed that by about 10 seconds. Evil had an excellent result, I hope I can stay closer to him on Sunday!!

    What do you guys think about a League on this?

    I think the only change i would do is allow two compounds in the race to allow some more strategy, but the cars where actually quite close just the unforgiving nature of suzuka made the field spread out.

    Mine was an embarrassing number of mistakes... I knew I wouldn't be in the pace as I had pulled out from this race and hadn't done any practice. When the situation changed and I knew I could join, tried a BMW GTR I thought never had used but turned out it had some added stuff....duh. Jumped out and bought the first car I could find from the list (for div 3 ;) ), and jumped to quali. I had reasonable pace to fight it out with Emmo, running in the 10's, with the occasional 9's, but with no strategy I decided to be creative which ended up in disaster( last and running out of fuel lol). Never the less, I still enjoyed driving that car but was by myself the whole time, so alone that made a few mistakes as I drifted away thinking in random stuff.
    Will invest some time in a strategy for next Sunday but hop to see more cars in the grid, it was a shame 1 started and only 7 finished.

    Congrats to the podium, specially to 3v1l for representing so well division 3.

    PS: Thanks to Musta for organizing and investing his time in testing all those cars, well done.

    Yea I felt sorry for ya Cob there was an Automatic race start cycle in place. Did you back out or did you get a drop out during qual?

    Best I managed in the Weed mobile was a 209.1 Probably could of done a high 8 but didnt have much left.

    The lack of people at the end close was mostly due to DCs I thought, mine was anyway.
