[Rui F. Martins]

the ring with gt pro or gt sport cars is great

 

[Warren Dawes]

It would also allow for people less skilled (like me) to take a slightly slower and easier car, while allowing the fast experts to race by the seat of their pants in the faster cars.

I think you might find that GT pro, GT Club, and WTCC Extreme are all pretty similar in terms of driving difficulty.

Why not put the slow guys[we know who you are] in the fast cars and the aliens[we do know who you are] in the putt-putts?

Mixing GT Pro, GT Sport, and GT Club (for example or something similar) could work well this way, but probably needs a good'ish signup number and some real honesty when choosing cars.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Sorry those who had issues with lag and crashes That can be infuriating.

My first ever RACE 07/GTR EVO/STCC (etc. etc.) gamecrash ever. With around 100hrs in total I'm quite happy with that

Anyway, @Martin Leyfield why did you drive backwards on the track at the end of quali?

I didn't realise they were so similar, thanks.

Well, principle applies anyway about easier to handle cars for less skilled drivers and faster cars for the aliens (or vice versa).

 

[Pete Bone]

Anybody like racing the Porsche Carerra Cup cars? Round the Ring they would be good.

 

[Rui F. Martins]

If there were enough sign ups to do that kind of evevnt i think it would be great, or mixing a class of gt cars with touring car, or gt with prototypes, something along that way, i think it would be very nice.

 

[Martin Leyfield]

Hi. My game crashed on grid of a league race at another community and I noticed this event on the lobby so signed up for it. I tried the Volvo and thought myself too dangerous then tried the E30. I managed to get the E30 set up nice and safe then tried the same setup ethos on the Volvo and it worked - I was faster and safer in the Volvo. I was still a bit unsure though until the last minute. With about two minutes left of qually I got P4 and I assume I had cut a lot or gone unfair wide a lot but that is not the main reason why I dq'ed. I was using a qually first gear (very long). I think I would have spun too much with a shorter first gear but P4 with a very long first gear would have meant a very slow start and problems for the chaps behind me - I may not have had time to pull over safely.

I could have DQ'ed by driving to the end of the pit road and driving back up very slowly but I may not have had time and according to my track map there was nothing in my sector so I drove the wrong way on the track to DQ and start nice and safe from the back. I was on TS so maybe should have asked Yves for permission to DQ before doing it.

Below are my race 1 crashes and passes. If this video gets watched I will do others passes and side-by-sides from the replays.

 

[Martin Leyfield]

"Then coming to an end of my first (and last) flying lap in qual, Martin Leyfield comes the wrong way so I just have to throw the car out of the track.
Then my game crashed moving in to warmup, and that was that evening "
Oh no I just read this. This is a bug in the game where you don't see all cars in qually. I am real sorry about this. I could see no cars on track or on track map. I will never DQ again unless permission from organizers and I would then only DQ by driving slow to end of pit road, checking for cars, and driving 5 or 10 kph back up it to DQ. I am mortified I messed up his lap.

 

[Martin Leyfield]

I could see plenty of blue dots in the garage. I though all cars were in garage or over at sector one (I was at the last corner).

I enjoyed seeing that. You and I were close a lot of the time!

 

[Mark Bushell]

As I won't be racing the mini's ( Marshaling British GTs at brands ) I shall give this race a go, sign me up please.

 

[Aaron Channer]

Sign me up please.

No Probs. I was just wondering what was happening! As you didn't turn towards me, I understood that it wasn't public-wrecker style. I just wondered what the flying banana-split was happening!
I do wonder what would've happened if we had crashed though, would only I get damage, or would you get the shock of your life when crashing into an invisible wall

 

[Martin Leyfield]

I am admin over at 100mbitgracing.com and we have seen this problem. The guy that sees the other car gets smashed and the guy that does not see the other car has no effect. The guy who does not see the other car is totally oblivious.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Mixing GT Pro, GT Sport, and GT Club (for example or something similar) could work well this way, but probably needs a good'ish signup number and some real honesty when choosing cars.

Further expanding on this, maybe open it up to all three classes, but Dennis gets the (very popular ) job of allocating each driver to the appropriate class after they sign up. That way, he gets the chance to balance things up a bit, and create more challenge for the "aliens".
No bribery allowed.
The reason for pushing the GT Classes is that I think these are best suited to the Nords track, and trying to avoid the addon mods to make it easier / more open for people to join, and get more sign-ups.
It also allows plenty of scope for car choices within the allocated classes, and promotes a nice varied list of cars on track.

 

[Ariciuc Razvan]

I'd like to see, WTCC Extreme and GT Club, or smth similar. Two classes with enough power because RWD on Nords is heaven.

 

[Aaron Channer]

Hi Dennis. Will you be using Okayama '10 for this?

 

[Janko Zgembo]

Sign me in, please.

 

[Arunas]

Sorry for not participating in this race, problems with my laptop
Hope to repair for this friday race..

 

[Arunas]

my choice, WTCC 87, Caterham, US Muscle cars (race and street version), all the street version of the GT cars.
