A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. You will get 2 warnings before a 5 second penalty for exceeding track limits to your advantage. Any warnings/penalties are displayed in the chat window at the end of each lap.

Excellent! Thinking about going with the Merc for a change since I have never driven this one before!

Brian, could you enter “for” me with the BMW Z4, please? As it has the bus stop and I cannot practice, the BMW seems the safest choice. I should just make it home in time and I already have a setup for it.
I have had a hiccup on my phone and cannot get into the Emporer server,, forgot the password.

I'm just gonna install it as the engine sound. The pitch shifting will be... hillarious!

Unfortunately I can't go with you on Sunday. Must watch football. Have fun everybody. Here is a nice video of the song that the German fans sing after the final whistle of a game (English version).

 

[Kek700]

You are lucky this is our country's football history. I wonder why any brit watch us dismally fail every time

 

[Kek700]

I want to be the next Englands football manager.

Will we still fail miserably.. Yes of course.

Will I have millions in my bank account..Yes of course.

 

[H_Belane]

You have a good chance this time, Ernie. It's sure to be an exciting tournament. If the weather is good tomorrow and I'm brave enough, I'll go into town and see the 100,000 English fans that are expected.

 

[Kek700]

Our football player are so arrogant that they really think that because of their undoubted talents the ball will magically roll into the opponents net unaided.
They tap it around constantly, usually in their own half of the field, keep passing it back to the goal keeper, never once in their minute tiny skulls does it dawn on them that the way you “win” is to fight for the ball constantly and attack the goal with aggression and intent.
When you are in the other half attacking the goal constantly, the other team are not in your half scoring goals.
11 top class players who are so wrapped up in their own self importance, I am sure they come off the field after 90 min thinking they have played a magnificent game of football, tapping the ball around in their own half.

I bet most of the teams think they are 11 pointless brain dead English idiots.

I have held back, I could have told it like it really is?.

 

[H_Belane]

Yes, the English really didn't play well. It's not the best players that win trophies, but the best team.
The fans' performance was great. Not aggressive either, but worked well as a team and was very friendly.

Good luck Ernie, see you in the final!

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Im back in the Porsche... It's just so much fun, and with default setup I drive faster then the merc anyway. There's way more time to gain still with that car, AND THE TIRES HOLD UP FOR ONCE!

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Bit of a warm up for everyone!
