hi put me in please david , any car thanks , but if work arises i must leave . just one question though is this all assists on for everyone or can you select assists off?

 

[Maurice Hurkmans]

The only thing i hate about hosting is that randomly some people are unable to join when i host..... even with all neccesary ports open :S

Noel automatically took over hosting when i needed to leave the room, but that caused some lag for me (no wonder with the distance to Australia). So if i need to host events in the future i always need backup from another euro guy.

 

[Mauricio Pena]

Ok guys, let me know your car preferences as well.

Time Check

Hi Mauricio,

I'm keen to do this. Haven't been able to race in a custom race as yet. However, can I check that time with you? 20:30 GMT is 7am in the morning here in Adelaide. Is that correct?

Might be too late by the time I hear back but worth asking...

Cheers

Sam

Hi Mauricio,

Cancel my last question, I just confirmed via timeanddate.com, and it's probably a bit early for me sorry. I need to go for a morning swim to work off some of this Christmas indulgence. Have a great race!

Hi Sam,

you can check your time here:

Ok, no problem!

 

[Jan-Olov Johansson]

As I said earlier, Monza hates me :tongue: The race started with me going like a noob torpedo in the first chikane and hitting, I belive it was Noel ?, again sorry for that. It was really hard for me to find the brake points but that should not have happend. Since it was a long race it got a bit better towards the end when the car wasn't as heavy but there was many "off track" visits for me but at least I made it to the finish

But anyway, it was fun and looking forward to next race, so Happy New Year to you all !

 

[Fahad Gaffoor]

It's says assists allowed. So basically u can select what ever you want.

 

[David Kaye]

No problem Noel (very festive name) What is your gamer tag GFWL ID

 

[David Kaye]

Oh I really wish I had not over slept I wanted to try a full sim race online as I have not yet ! I'm really jealous of you guy's. Happy New Year to you Jan and everybody as well !

You will have your revenge soon Will try to put up an event for next week.

 

[Jan-Olov Johansson]

Yeah that's the one Jan, the last corner was so fast it was deemed unsafe
Now I'm sorry but when did F1 become a safe sport ??? and what is the difference between smacking into a wall at 320 kph in a straight line as opposed to on a corner ? Just because it was the fastest corner in F1 ?

Dunno ? beat's me !!!! Health & Safety mixed with copious amounts of political correctness, that's what happened ! Crazy, change everything by caring (very clever).

I agree, a big part of F1 is that it's on the edge, both in tech and excitment isn't it ?
If you bit by bit remove things that may be a bit dangerous and perhaps a little bit unsafe then you remove the heart of the sport, imho anyway....

That beeing said, I'm not saying I like seeing drivers get hurt or even killed, that's not the point but you can't remove everything that makes it a challenge, can you.

 

[David Kaye]

No you can not remove them as a whole or the sport will die (excuse the pun), to be a race driver serious injury and even death are an occupational hazard and I am sure not in the fore front of their mind's or they would be to scared to even get in the car. What next the army have rubber bayonet and cotton bud bullets because they are dangerous, bad analogy I know but makes the point. It would be good to have an F1 2010 track editor so we can at least experience it as it should be.

That being said I think the chicane is probably more dangerous if you have a few spin's on it then the pack slows and you come around the corner before at a fair speed, and BANG into the back of the pack causing more injuries than just one driver, it is a possibility.

 

[Andrew Bortz]

Think it would have been close battle at the end between Maurice and me if I hadn't of crashed.

 

[Noel Spence]

hi david i am moggs creek , where i live to

 

[Noel Spence]

no worries jan you gave me a head start you pushed me straight through the first corner with a handy lead

 

[Oli Peacock]

Mclaren please
