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 tinry 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. Starts 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 behing 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!.

Sorry Freddy, i was a little unsure what do do when you came up behind me.

I am aware of that. It was an entire wing I saw, and it wasn't you.

Whats WTM?

World Touring Masters. It's done on rFactor, and it's one of the Touring Pro Series leagues here at RD.

 

[Scott Webber]

I will say this once, keep your cool or i will be locking this thread.... Tamas have some respect for the rules here, this is a reminder to all please keep your cool or i will get my trout out & slap you accross the face. hehe.

 

[Zoltan Hadadi]

To be sort BendingUnt1tled thinks that this is a dodgem game!

I made the wrong choiche about tyres and choose the inter (hoping that the track will be dry sooner). My start was bad and BendingUnt1tled took my place before turn 4 (of course with a contact like always). This move from him was just the usual sh*t he used to do. After that he made a mistake at turn 9 I took over him and guess what happened in the next corner? He bumped me pushed me of the track but okey it was wet he just made a mistake he will give the position back right? NO HE WON'T.
BendingUnt1tled you ruined my race in china, thank good i never seen you on the track at istanbul, here you ruined my race AGAIN! YOU CAN'T MAKE A CLEAR NICE MOVE WHEN IT COMES TO OVERTAKING.
So I want him te be penalised for the moves he did and still doing or I'm out of this leage!!!!

 

[Andrew Bortz]

Chris weve absolutely no problem with you, sure you havent taken part in many races yet but thats why we put a 5 race drop into the rules so personal lives didnt interfere to much.

Tamas if you want to quit then quit, I practically begged you to stay the last time you quit, I will not be doing that again.

Anyway race report.

Qualified on primes with a 1:21.6

Got a good start was alongside Steve into turn 1 bumped steve on the outside of turn 2 which actually boosted him into the lead Lost a place to Igor due to the bump and followed Igor for what seemed like an eternity until he dropped it on the braking zone on the back straight , was alongside him in that corner and just kept the line and boom was away.

Was matching Steves pace for a few laps and I presume he made a few errors. Caught up to him chased him for a lap then on the fast right onto the backstraight he just did a houdini on me and vanished.

From there it was a lonely race, had my gf downloading downstairs which was causing untold lag on my end and I couldnt shout loud enough to tell her to switch to the other router.

Freddy pitted I took the lead but with the lag issue and not being able to downshift or upshift consistantly I wasgetting caught so fast. When I did come in the Options only really gave me enough pace to keep matching Freddy next race my gf will get a good whipping if she does this again.

Congratz to Freddy and sorry to Steve who would have made my race so much more worth it.

 

[Freddy van Vliet]

Sorry Freddy, i was a little unsure what do do when you came up behind me.

No problem mate! Was my own fault that I had a slow pitstop! We were racing for position so you had every right to defend! It is up to me to find a way past

 

[Scott Webber]

Well that sucked lap 22 evrything went haywire and locked up!

Sorry to hear m8, iv'e had bad toruble with my game recently :S ... it kept crashing, atleast you did put your backside into the race only to spin on the last lap & crash like me ....


I must say how important it is that you guy's show up, we are aware of the shortage of player's in League 4 & we're down 2-3 Driver's ourselves, hopefully we can get you all moved up, we need to make this league interesting for you guy's (to stay in ofcourse & have fun on this precious saturday evening)

Thank's for the patience you'll be hearing from us soon

 

[David Ross]

i wondered what happened to you Tracy, that was a pity.

I qualified on second behind Darco, started on options, stayed in second until lap 12 when i pitted to change to Primes but made the mistake of selecting options again, Darco by this time was still pulling away from myself and Tracy by a few seconds a lap. Lap 18 i stopped to put on Primes and came out a few seconds behind Tracy but i knew he still had to stop so i wasn't too worried, then on lap 22 Tracy had computer problems and disappeared, the rest of the race was quite boring really.

well done to Darco again

lets hope we have a fuller grid next time.

 

[Darren Bentley]

Oli and Thomas (beerboy66) should be back for next race

 

[Igor Reshetnik]

Good race for all but not for me. Not bad qualy, good start from 4-th to 3-d position. Than i did a little mistake and Andrew pass me, but it must be earlier or sooner. After that i have not bad pace on first laps, but after 7 lap my tires was very bad, but only yellow on telemetry (very strange beacuse the tires was like a orange). James was closer and closer. gap from 6 sec small to 1.8 sec. I desided to do my pit-stop earlier and do that in 11 lap. And it was right thing beacuse after James pit he was behind me and i was a little more faster on warm tires than he on cold tires. After Kriska pit he try to pass me after my mistake and do that with contact. After few laps he back me position and sit on my rear wing . In 5-th corner i feel a strong push in my back from Kriska and after that flew into the gravel and James pass me and do the Gap. After that i switch my engine to "standart" and go to the finish. On two last laps i set engine to "cruise" and Jack was closer to me. Finish - 5-th place. I know that Kriska do that not spesially but that thing put me down from 3 to 5 position and i thinck Roman was pass me anyway, but i sure that the James will not pass me easy and i can defend my 4-th position. Thx to all for race, it was very intersting.
Freddy - congrats with win(second in a row - goo job), Andrew and Roman - with podium. Video will be soon.

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Congrats on the (expected) podium finishers. Zomacher thanx for hosting.

What can I say about this .... Qualified as 4th, which is the best position of the season so far for me. I used full wets, instead of the inters. Somehow I can not drive on those,

Race... it was raining and from the pitbox I couldn't see the sky, but it looked pretty light to me, so I gambled for a few laps on inters and then when it would be dry enough to primes.... As soon as the start grid was shown I knew it.... my race is over.... and I was right..... in every turn/bend sliding, almost spinning, Finally I was dead last in lap 4 or 5. I went in for full wets which I should have taken from the start. I was catching up the untill Antique my wets were red, so just behind him I go in for another set of wets.... pit crew gave me inters....wtf.... next lap... they gave me wets.... yes!!..... half lap later..... it's dry!!!!aaaaaahahhaha Again to the pit for options...... Still 12/13 laps to go. Somehow I became 5th, Antique was way out of reach the gap stayed pretty stable (17~19 seconds). It was a boring and frustrating race. From 33 laps I had 5 laps cars around me... Being lapped..... that haven't happened to me in a very long time, but with so many pitstops.... no wonder....

It should be fun and clean... today: clean: YES, fun: NO

Your threatening to leave the League Hadadi if the "driver" in question isn't penalised? that's not fair is it, we have clearly stated to everyone that if you have no video evidence of the racing incident the stewards can not act on it.

Im very upset with alot of people now either threatening to leave or have left over a incident... one of which was absolutly ridiclous..... we've put alot of work into all of this now im questioning whether we should even continue with the points system as people are leaving, which makes less player's on the GRID, so we have to cater & move people up to keep the GRIDS Full, which messes up the whole system.

Sometime's i think im around a bunch of school kids, im only 20 years old myself & i do not throw a hissy fit or threaten to leave if some1 messes up my race, it has happened before with me, i calm down for 24 hours & shrug it off.

I am aware that people have other commitments also & im very thankful you guy's make the effort to come on & race, but some things are out of order.

 

[Jamie-Lee Mayers]

Some more actual talent to add to the very little amount of talent displayed today, i would like to say well done to Lee for winning the race and agree with what you said before, and Darren please make sure the flags are on for the next race in monaco otherwise theres gonna be another problem

 

[Nicholas Farr]

Those settings look pretty good. I think at the start of the thread it says what the settings are so check there. Don't know whether you would be able to race tomorrow but check with Rob.

 

[Zoltan Hadadi]

Yes, and I'm serious!

If you read the last races topics Bending caused trouble at every race! If you don't penalise him because "we don't have video" than thanks for these races I'm out.
I will be 23 at october and I'm not childish believe me. It is clear that one driver here causes trouble EVERY SINGLE RACE and I don't want to part of that If you don't do anything about it.

 

[Scott Webber]

That is your choice Hadadi, we can only investigate on little to go on but no evidence means we can't really do to much im afraid, im not bending the rules for anyone "rules are rules" they apply for all, no evidence = no solid investigation = no results.

 

[James Robertson]

I think it was maybe a lag thing Igor.

Kriska looked a fair bit behind you when you got punted.

 

[Andrey Antipov]

Thanks guys for nice racing. My congratulations to Italianred, Bending and Zomacher!
Had some battle with PwNdByWEBZ. I hope everything was ok and clear...

to Joempie: now I understood why I took 4th place. By the way on this pit (when we were doing together) I took already options

And waiting for you all in Monaco. I'm sure it will be very interesting.

 

[Paul Lock]

Maybe not my place to comment as I didn't attend the race, but after Turkey I can understand perfectly why Hadadi is reacting like this about Bendings driving etiquette.
