XRRs at Kyoto national

Doorman · May 18, 2008, 10:42:01 PM

This is proving very popular. Tonight's team racing event was as busy as I've seen it. With team

(oi! why won't it display capitals for HR?) piling in by the the shipload (I said shiP! :flirty:)
What a nice bunch of guys they are, even the Canadians. :lmfao:
A great evening's racing.

Nah. That race_s is really messing my team nights. I have been forced to skip 2 times now just because the race_s makes me slide around with certain cars and racing is impossible. :crying:

Happy Canadian Victoria day :yahoo:

Race_s is quite good on the XRR for me Aquilifer but I know what you mean on the RAC, I stayed away from that one. Maybe you shouldn't take it so seriously on team night, I mean you may end up with me as your team mate so race_s is the least of your problems.

You say that only because you haven't seen me in XRR with race_s :sideways:

After I tested race_s on sunday before the team race, I made few conclusions. There is also enough man in me to disqualify myself from the race if my only contribution to the event would be to ruin the race from my pair and possibly also from other unfortunate victims. I wouldn't mind for not being a fast, but if I cannot finish a bloody lap it is no sense trying. XRR/Race_s is just totally unsuitable for my style of driving and mouse control :sad:

good luck to all tonight

Probably the biggest field of starters and definitely the biggest number of finishers! Well done everyone. Only one restart this week due to race being set at 7 laps. :blush2: Amazingly, both starts were clean!

Replay is in the download section.

yep, participation was good indeed.

Before we had been even midway in qualifying I was hit by BSOD. Bad case this time because Windows said even the error log was corrupted. There could be something seriously wrong in my machine as i have had a good share of those lately :sad:

So I lost maybe 60% of qualifying time and start place was 10th.

I started with 71% of fuel and it sure felt bit lazy. Around half the race I started to wonder why my lap times started to go worse rather than better even my fuel load was getting lighter. Next observation was that the locations at the oval part where I shifted up began to move later and later. Also other cars left me in dust there. Even there was no 'popcorn' sound from the engine it must have got damage somewhere which got worse.

I had some very good racing in the beginning with Andy (again...getting a habbit?

), Sean and some others. Had chances for maybe 5th place if had had some luck, but got a shitload of dog leavings instead. :sideways:

Congrats again for all.

Another great thursday nights racing:D
This combo seemed to be very popular by the amount of people starting and a good number finishing.Had a good battle with Aquilifer & Sean(by way of of a change:)Had a little battle with Detez but he soon showed this true colours and found where i was slow and punished me for it then vanished off my radar:doh:

Jamin · May 23, 2008, 06:19:00 PM

Congrats Willi :yahoo:

I put on race_s because the setup I had been using was twitchy and I was going for the "mopping up what points were left" tactic.

I kep't Bob behind me for a while until he got better traction out of a corner to nudge me out at the next corner, I hastled him until halfway when he ran out of fuel :roflmao:

I raced a bit with those that had already pitted until I pitted at 50 mins and finished out of the points.

I like the car, I like the track but didn't get on with them combined.

Lameduck · May 23, 2008, 07:13:54 PM

I ran out of fuel. :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:
Have borrowed the wife's kitchen timer to tell me when 30mins are up.
The third consecutive race I havnt finished through gross stupidity.
Thinking of seeing a doctor.

Toddshooter · May 24, 2008, 12:22:01 PM

I really wish you were all night owls. Then I could get in on the Thursday races without having to take time off work:D
Sounds like a fun race.

See you Sunday.
