Rules are quite clear there as we only just updated this from the last race. As for giving priority to the host I dont believe this is the case, if it want for the misinformation that has cropped up in past results at the end of either qualifying or the race then I would have dropped out as thats what the 5 race drop is all about accomidating.

Im not sure about the mismatched drivers in each league, yes its not perfect but its bloody close and we have plans for next season in F1 2011 regarding the placements of everyone.

Any chance you can tell us what rules you dont like as they are there for guidance atm our first try at a league and updating as I told you from as close as the last race.

Of course this rule benefits the host...... He will never miss a race due to disconnection. He drops out, the session gets restarted. Seems like a pretty safe postion to be in to me.

Fair enough, if my connection had let me down and I dropped out, thats my loss. But when 2 dc at virtually the same time? Come on, thats down to the host/game/whatever, but not down to the players who dc. Common sense tells you that. Surely with a maximum of 11 racers online we want as many of those racing as possible?

Typically, this was the only chance I had to race all week, and managed to squeeze some practice in a couple of hours before the race. Only to be left staring at the screen wondering why the session wasnt restarted.

Mismatched drivers is a lot more of an issue than you accept. It can quickly become tedious driving round a track on your own lap after lap, knowing that guy in front or behind is never going to catch you.
There are guys 3 seconds a lap quicker than some in grp2 and that was around Montreal, a relatively short track. Hopefully next year, you will learn from the advance qualification sessions that this year has provided. There are obviously drivers who are poor and those who are superb in the wet.
That is where things got messed up. A wet race at Singapore was not the way to judge drivers over a 19 race season.

As for my comment re the rules, I take it back. I obviously misread the part about restarting the event once qualification starts. I guess I just scan read it assuming that logic would take priority in the event that disconnections would be restarted, just like at the start of the race. After all, surely race start positions cannot be retained in a new session unless I am missing something.

Well i think its okay not to restart the qualification after drop in the end of it, or, may be, 60% of qual time... its unnecesary and its unfair for other drivers u r driving with in league... Also the driver can lose his concentration for race and 'requalification' after restarts when he already posted the time, sometimes the time in 'official qual' is the best of all times on that track, because driver is concentrated for it.

Well I think its okay not to restart and I agree with those rules.

The other question - if that was 2nd or 3rd time - why not to change the host?..

Lets hear you say that when you get your DC :tongue:

Ansdy i understand your Frustration but no matter what happens their has to be a Host and what comes with that is they are unlikely to get a DC... is that fair? NO...did we ask for it? NO.... it's built into the game and sadly P2P is crap, i have expressed my plans with the other moderators for a F1 2011 league but tbh i've lost so much interest now.

to much work goes into a league only for members to mis-read, cause arguements, say we done alot of things wrong, yes ok fair enough we have made a mistake or 2, but everything we've come up with is to be fun and fair for the Driver's themselves.

unfortunatly the way this game is designed is flawed, yes the Racing is great, when it's good it's fantastic, but when it turns bad it is bad,,, GFWL sucks.... P2P sucks, the coding sucks.... this doesn't help and make's leagues alot harder for us and the driver's.

[James Robertson]

[James Robertson]

[James Robertson]

frigging bill gates, 3 0f 4, im getting there

 

[James Robertson]

[Derek Kind]

Sorry guys, game quit on me. Second time today, haven't had this problem before. Was really looking forward to the race, too, though I made a mess of the start.

 

[Tom Kalber]

I think i lost connection to the session during the race.....that is very frustrating....sorry guys...

1. Stuart Gillard / STU ST200 / HRT

I do not want to race ever again with this guy. Pushed me in the gras on the straight at start finish,, pushed me into those 3 things at start finish and touched me all over the place. You can ask Andrew he was behind me. He never left any space for me or anyone. I left him space and touched me and I get a penalty drive through. I drive 2 laps and get disqualified. Can not believe this. Had such a great Qualy and lost 5 positions but do not know for what. Anyway it is very terrible that such a driver can compete in a good race class like this.

 

[Tracy Booth]

Well that sucked I locked up also

 

[David Ross]

well i was slow during qualifying and on the first lap i was even slower, turns out that when i tried to fix my pedals last night that I hadn't put a little gear thing back in the correct position and the brakes were binding on all the time. All sorted now but i wish i had had time to test them before the race.

hope you all had a good one.

 

[Matthieu Voets]

I hope you still have your vid, I want to see my move to bill.

I have never had the game crash on me before either, weird it hapens to us both on the same day

 

[Jan-Olov Johansson]

Well, I said I am a rookie at this track and it showed... my car was understearing like a horse with no front legs, but only 1 front wing broken is good progress Oh boy, do I need to practise here or what....:tongue:

 

[Zoltan Hadadi]

Great race guys thanks! I learned a lot about this track.
jamesscotland73 sorry man I thought your internet has gone so as gootek arrived I started the session. :S

 

[Andrew Bortz]

Good race guys

Didnt boher to qualify so started 10th on primes

Made my way up to 5th I think on the first lap pulling some really good moves out of maggots.

followed 3 cars ahead for some time until Stu spun and I whalloped the rear left tire of his and put my wing to orange, caught back up to 3/4 still witha busted wing and finally into 2nd once pitting started for the option runners, couldnt close the gap on Zomachar had so much understeer so gap remained about 16 secs, both came into pits together my pit took 8 bloody seconds which was an eternity and Dr Darco managed to squeeze past on me exiting pits.

Got past Darco with relative ease but it still cost me about 2-3 laps by this time I was about 20 secs down on zomachar but got the gap back down to 12-13 seconds coming onto the last lap and also pulled my fastest lap of the race on the last lap by half a second making it a 1:30.14.

Really happy with how the race went for me considering, could have been much worse.

P.S Stu/Darco cant remember who was doing the pushing the other onto the grass on the pit straight but its not what I wanna be seeing in league races if its going on.
