1 hour team race.

[Romus]

This was my first ever team race, and it was jolly good fun. I think we should do hour events like this more often!

I'd like to do it every sunday.

As far as I'm concerned it was a success. Your opinions would be welcome as to whether you'd prefer this hour format with the normal rotation cars/tracks or a one off every so often.

Ist Sunday of every even numbered month i.e. 6 a year.

OK, once a month then .

Yep, I like that. A one off combo or the running at the time combo?

[delankster]

if its replacing the normal team racing for that wk then i think it should mirror that combo

Btw really enjoyed it :thumbsup2:

Last night was probably the most fun team race I've had so far. Thanks to everyone who joined, and special thanks to Doorz for setting it up and to Deetz for switching to Left Hand Drive and running a good race, earning us 2nd place :yahoo:

We should definitely do it again. I'd also been thinking that maybe we could make it a monthly event, like every last sunday of the month or something. But Oldie's idea would work just as well. But like I said yesterday on Ventrilo, if we do this again we definitely have to think about the communication side of things. In an event like this proper communication with your team mate is vital, and last night it was impossible to get a word in, a lot of times. At one point I felt like yelling "WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE HELL UP FOR 2 MINUTES FOR CHRISSAKE!? :ranting2:"    

As for the combo, I'm not sure yet. Maybe it would be easier to just do it on the combo that's running that week?

You can still type a message :flirty:

Not while I'm driving on that combo :narnar:

That was incredibly good fun! In some ways a better racing experience than just doing the hour yourself imho. My one regret is that I blew an easy 4th by driving like an twonk on the last lap. My apologies Todd, I promise not to do it again! For myself I would like to see this happen once a month, as it's easier for me to persuade the family to let me set time aside for a long race, so I'd get to race more often. Selfish, I know, but there you go. The comms was a problem, as my partner was so quiet he was hard to hear a lot of the time, but Vent does allow you to mute other users. This could be used to cut out everyone else. This would allow the separate teams to develop strategies both before and during the race, especially if the rules were developed (ie minimum of three stints per driver, no more than 15% fuel load), or would that make it overly complex? Just my twopen'orth.

No Problem M8:D That was great fun!! Our car owner is very thankful that we brought the car through the race undamaged and therefore he is richer for it.

 I say do this at least once a month. XRT only Who would want to race anything else?:yahoo:

[Doorman]

It's shaping up for once a month by the looks of it. Not sure about XRTs only though. :g: Nah, keep mixing them up.

[Seany]

Was a lot of fun, very enjoyable.  Well done to Oldie and me :norty: .
About the comms, I didn't find it a problem I love the chaos and banter, hell that's what vent is for

looking forward to the next one

It was good serious fun. CrazyR1 had fun burning the right front tire and I enjoyed crashing the car and making it nearly undrivable. Having that much fun earned us a place in the podium. Comms were a bit chaotic, but it would perhaps be a bit too serious to try to make private channels.
