Sorry for dropping out guys - I actually managed to twinge my ankle somehow. Became not so keen on braking and I was becoming a danger to everyone and as I was last anyhow thought it better not to ruinanyone's night (and save myself the pain!).

Shame was shaping up to be a good race with me and Derek on hard tires fighting close in 2nd, with Scott 12s up the road but on the soft tires... !
 
Great i came online at 20:58 CET and its already started... Now i really mean i quit thats disgusting, they had to see me couse when i checked the GFWL it only wrote Andrew is online, thx, for not doing a restart fort me (and not answering), we did 3 for James.. Yeah im not british.....

ps: thx for all who s on my friendlist and see me online, forcing Andrew to start it again! Great bunch of racers!

I'm quitting the league. This kind of attitude is horrible and I don't want to be associated with it. We started at 20:02 BST which is 2 minutes after the posted start time. If you can't make it, that's your own fault. Every league I have raced in has never waited for late drivers.

I'm also utterly convinced some people are cheating. Reason for this is I saw somebody's front wing fly off and they still had stupid grip

I also want to apologise to whoever was driving the lotus - I wasn't paying attention, missed my braking spot and hit you. My fault entirely.

Yeah whatever... Even Andrew late once and we waited for him, not like any of us couldn t set up a lobby. And i was on time.. i saw other leagues members joined later than me. Could they race? I guess they did.
 
HI just wanted to check what the standard of racing is as I don't want to be miles out of my league!
When racing a season I currently use
Racing Line: on
ABS: Off
Braking: Off
Traction Control: Medium
Fuel: on
tyres:on
AI: Professional

In my first season as Lotus I have 2 points after 10 races. I'm pretty consistent just don't get into the points much, but I like it to be realistic as it's no fun winning without trying.

Will I be up to the standard here?

I can't confirm for definite but I would like to race tomorrow if possible.

Shall I post on here in afternoon if I am free?
 
Tamas the reason I didnt wait for you was simple we have it in writing to be here before the start time, there was no one left online to invite so I started. As for you popping up in game well that doesnt happen for me anymore since its a distraction while driving in a league race the notification and the play sound are both disabled.

Pietro im sorry for not waiting for you but I had read in here that you wouldnt be attending so after I sent the invite when you left I thought oh that must be you leaving now hence why you couldnt attend the race.
 
...I also want to apologise to whoever was driving the lotus - I wasn't paying attention, missed my braking spot and hit you. My fault entirely...

Hey it's not a problem, Chris. That sort of thing happens in racing, especially at the start of a race. I took several seconds to recover from the gravel and you had the decency to wait till I passed you. It's a shame you retired, because I was looking forward to having someone to race with! It was a very lonely race, but I finished in the position I started, so I'm not disappionted. :D
 
Yes im a liar... But you are an idiot if im right :D
You've done a lot here :) Or just 1 crappy race where you ruined it for some other drivers? Dont worry you weren t accosiated with this league ;)

Good. Let's keep it that way. And yes, I haven't done alot here, partly down to people like you. And agreed, I can be an idiot. I did get pretty angry in the thread before, and I shouldn't have done.

And anyway, as I recall, I didn't ruin anyones race. You quit of your own accord.

Anyway, F12010 is arcade. I'm actually a good driver. See WTM and you'll know what I mean.

Andrew, Scott. Thanks for the organisation. Sorry it hasn't worked out.

Later Tamás :)
 
Can't believe what I did?
You are all still running the race when I made a very stupid mistake missing pit entry and going into the pitwall :frown:

I was going on dry setup all race and just waiting for the rain to stop
..when it finally stoped I went into the wall when going for options
very clever

race to forget and already looking forward to Monte Carlo
 
good race all...sorry to bending for the slight bump on the slow corner after the straight.
my car really wasn't good for the wet. lost the back end too many times to remember.
finally the suyn comes out and the track dries up but its too late by then :(
 
Great Race Guy's i really struggled with the Primez after a few spins & missing a gear or 2.... on the very last lap on corner 10 or 11 i think it was i jumped a gear which caused me to spin & i hit the wall my wheel came off... on the LAST lap... absolutly Great :( lol.

No Promises yet, but we are aware a few people do not attend these races anymore & league 4 has little interest so we may have new driver's soon, this is to keep the GRID full & the interest alive, it is no fun with having such a few people to race with.

Expect more News soon.
 
Come on you guys, let's not get into fight again. It is true that people should be on time...but if you have seen someone online right before the start and then go offline and then see them coming back on just after we started...I do agree that it would have been not much trouble to do a restart (since we done like 3 restarts for James last time). But nothing can be done about it now. Luckily there is a 'worst 5 results don't count' rule. So all is not lost yet.

As for the cheating? Really? I don't know how much wing you saw was lost Chris...but I myself also lost a part of my wing....just a tiny bit though which is usually not much of a problem at all, but still decided to put some more wing ontrack (that is a feature that can be used...hope you are aware of this...and you can also put your engine setting to fast mode which uses a bit more fuel but makes you go faster) and decided to put in a second lap to at least have a time set, as in my first run I also spun off and pitted again. Managed to go to the top of the timesheets with a slightly damaged wing.

As for the rest of my race: Came back in for new tires again and my last run and managed to improve to a very nice 1:20.0xx and was very pleased with that. Start wasn't so good but also braked a little too late for the first corner and Steve went past. Then the first two laps or so the gap stayed pretty much the same, but then I started to close in on him and put some pressure on Steve. He made a mistake later on in the first corner and I had an easy pass. Increased the gap lap by lap and then Steve had some more troubles later on as he suddenly dropped a whole lot of time and was right in front of Andrew. Not much later Steve left the race. From there on I kept on increasing the gap to Andrew, came in for my stop but braked too late (dammit) and the stop took 8sec (so about 4sec lost). Came back out right behind James and though much faster (he was on really worn options) I only managed to overtake him in the last sector just before he came in for a stop. That lost me at least another second or two (which is totally my fault as I could have been ahead had I braked on time for my pitbox). Started closing the gap again to Andrew by just over a second a lap I think and had about 4.5sec left when he came in to the pits and we crossed the line pretty much dead on (but he was in the pitlane). After that I couldn't see the gap anymore but put in consistently good laps and in the end I saw the gap, but he might have made a few mistakes or his tires were pretty worn as I could actually pretty much maintain the gap. Great victory for me and I am very please with it. Congratz to Andrew and Romain for the other podium places!.
