Dead Men Racing on Wednesday night

[Katsushika Matsumoto]

I'm thinking 10 -12 laps of Lastplace Lake. (open to suggestions)

Can't we race at Newbury or something like that, nice and short track so that we can have a little racing interaction with each other + i noticed lastplace lake is quite heavy on the GPU/GPU side :g:

ps. I will be there no matter what track you choose to race

I'm now in a serious quandary. There are several of us that have signed up for the Race2Play race tonight. That starts at 8pm GMT
As Mark pointed out to me, R2P take a dim view of 'no shows' and quite right to, so how's this for a plan?
Start at 7:30, have two 6 lap races at Prato short with reversed grid and 5 minute wait time.
That'll take 28-30 minutes. Then we all shoot over to Race2Play for their 10 lapper at 8pm ready for their practice session. They have a full grid as well!
That way we'll have a decent nights racing.

The following are booked on R2P:
Stuart Whitehead
Mark Turnbull
Jarrko Sihvola
Katsushika Matsumoto (.pixr)
Ron Attwood

Sounds like a plan to me

See you later.

Sorry guys that I missed the race. It seems that I'm racing in so many RBR, rF and nkP series that sometimes it is hard to remember all races/rallies.

And I'm also sorry for my driving in r2p qual&race. I did too many mistakes.

[The Moose]

Apologies to .pixr for the contact in race 2.  **** poor show on my part.

Terrible evenings racing overall.  I had to reinstall nKPro and finished getting it sorted with 60 secs to race start.  

 Everything felt wrong and id had no practice for days, not a good way to have a race.
 I won the first one due to the rest of you doing great impressions of lemmings:roflmao:

 Still i couldn't get anything to feel right...my braking was all over the place. It felt like id never driven nKPro before

 That continued over at R2P.  I didn't have time to sort out what was wrong with the way if felt.  Had a crappy qual and a crappy race. Kept going sideways into corners and eventually ran wide in the corner at the end of the back straight, sticking my car in the armoco.

 I'm liking the look of R2P, be interesting to see how it pans out when the proper races begin.  It's a bit like iRacing for all sims, but without the stupid stuff that really annoys me in iRacing.  It's even got me racing LFS again:blink:
 I don't see anything worth paying for there, but its got decent organised racing so ill stick at it while i can still enter races without having to empty my home for moths........oops, i mean wallet.  (their pricing makes iRacing look like the bargain of the century!)

[Doorman]

I wondered why you disconnected while running in third. I watched the replay and I saw why. :sad: Oddly enough the animations of your car seemed quite jerky. Everyone else's car tyres displayed the motion blur of the Avon sidewalls. Your were very distinct and didn't appear to be rotating. Your 'off' into the barriers looked almost deliberate. Something definitely amiss. :g:
My experience was a good one overall. Shame it wasn't on nKP Rank, I had a couple of PBs. Good dice with Matzos, I was holding him off nicely for a 4th place when my tyres went all squirrelly, overdid T2 and let him by. Great stuff though. Good job Mark :thumbsup2:
The least said about OUR event the better I think. :lmfao:

No problem :lmfao: wasn't doing great myself so i had an excuse for my bad results.

I didn't know you had to pay for race2play :crying: i just checked the pricing, and maybe the basic subscription ($7.99) is something for me.

I also find the centralized simracing competition really great, i'm gonna start racing more at race2play (maybe even rfactor/lfs).

Yeah we had a nice battle although i didn't recognize you at first... for some weird reason you're skin wasn't working for me.

[Doorman]

I know why you couldn't see the skin. I was using one I had made for someone else. :doh: What a plonker! Sorry.

[The Moose]

I didn't know you had to pay for race2play

 Luckily its not compulsory....it just gives paying members a place on the grid before guest members.
 Most of the other stuff membership gives you is completely worthless to me. Certainly not worth what they're asking.   If I'm going to cough up that sort of cash then I'll subscribe to iRacing.

You missed the 'if' :norty:

[Deetz]

Well, I'm sorry I missed the racing last night, but unfortunately I was held up at work and didn't get home in time.
 
Catch you all next time.

[XLR8]

I can't believe you let work get in the way of an important race event!!!
