Season 12 - Division 3

i'm guessing he means the tarmac closest to the fence (either side) as there is a solid white line which is part of the road lane markings, not part of the track limit marking (the ARMCO is the track limit). Except in the corners when the 2 wheels on kerb rule applies.

so its four lanes down the straight?

dangerous. passing on the dirty part of the track, expecting to get any turn in.... i see carnage

If you have a head, pull back and attempt an overtake at the following straight(s). No shortage of those at Le Mans.

Well there it is, first round done and dusted. Hopefully it'll turn out to be my drop round. Congrats to the podium you're off to a good start.

Interesting night. Managed to grab pole position on the 2nd flyer. Sector splits showed I was up, then down, then up, then down again and I was sort of losing hope of improving my time. Then the final section of the track just came together for me and I nailed a 3.45.4 grabbing pole by half a second.

Race time and I got a good start, holding my position into lap 2. Poppin passed me on the first section of Mulsanne but I stuck close behind ready to pounce on the second. Then in the second chicane, I got tagged and booted off the track into the sand dropping me back down to 6th or so.

Head down, try and make my way back through, only 5 seconds off lead, so still doable. Made up a spot or two, but over-driving the car, and got wiggly into and out of the final 2 chicanes. I wasn't able to hold onto it, and spun onto the start/finish straight and I think I collected Emmo as he tried to make his way past, so sorry about that Emmo. I decided to pit at the end of lap 5 to try and get a clear pit lane and maybe some clear track as well. This worked out well, as I was able to jump back ahead of Emmo as he pitted the next lap, and I was back in 5th spot, with a couple still ahead due to pit. I knew for the next 8 laps my laps should be fairly consistent if I could keep it together.

A few good battles with the likes of Incey & Moon (bad luck guys on the end of your race). I eventually brought the car home in 2nd, with Poppin way out in front, his lap times where just too fast.

Bad luck at the chicane disturboed. I copped a smack on the bumb from incey and I think he ricochet into your right rear. Well done on the qually lap.

What can I say, other than to sincerely apologise to incey for the final lap incident that took both of us out. I braked a bit late and clip the grass on the inside and slammed into incey. Before that, I snoozed at dawn and again clipped in the outside grass in lap 12 and headed into the wall, with the hidden wall stopping me; ending my run in 2nd .

i think it might be a lag issue because on my replay you hit me in the side then hit turbo. I was noticing small lag spikes on your car whenever i got close so i was trying to give you plenty of room. now that i think about it your car turned sharply left into me and that may have been when your game thought i was behind you. I heard wollfy mention some lag as well from azzbang so maybe the mikes on slowed the room a bit?

yeah I think so, lag seemed pretty bad for the first few laps. Might be better to try mics off. Azzbang seems to lag on most days.

i can't get my head around it eh. if, with fixed room, the data goes me to moon to everyone does that mean my connection to moon is iffy when i see turbo and popping lagging but no-one else? i saw turbo lag into the barriers on the straight but i know he didn't and yet that was the only time i saw lag with him all night, whereas whenever i was close to popping i was seeing small jerky lag most of the time. everyone else no lag whatsoever. (didn't see azzbang tho). if it is certain pairs, will popping always be laggy to me no matter who's hosting? you'd think nbn would have fixed all this eh.

was that fixed room @emmo46

The internet is a complex beast. There is no performance guarantee as it really is based on best effort.
A very simplistic view is that if an email comes in of 200kB before your GT6 update packet, that 10MB will need to be pushed through your tiny (maybe 10Mbps) pipe and delays your GT6 packet for 160ms; poof, your update just got delayed by 8 screen updates, a very noticeable amount. Yes, I have greatly simplified and exaggerated it, but jitter is hard to control. we can minimise it though. Upstream pipes are typically much smaller as well, with similar data moving through it.

Audio does makes it worse as for every audio packet I receive, I have to send it out to 11+ others. This not only delays the game packets, can easily saturate links if not careful. Mics off doesn't mean no audio packets.
