Made a new forum account so that i will be easier for some people to know whom their racing and talking to.

I will stop using my (.pixr) account from now on. :crying:

On a side note i will be racing under this name in other sims, so just say hi when you see me on line.

We'll see what we can do to merge your posts.

I can delete the new one and rename the old to the new if you'd like.

If that's not to much trouble.. sure
haven't made any post with my new account except the one above (or below depending on you're settings)

@Doorman ; Thanks for the help

That's nice. I PMed Penfold but he's not about atm so if you wouldn't mind.

Lifted from the post race comments on R2P. You've put you're finger right on it I think.

 Hehe, I'm just not used to tintop racing. Well out of practice.  You have to expect a bit of paintwork swapping, but what he did was a desperate (and unfair imo) attempt to grab the win at the last after I'd frustrated him for 6 laps.  It worked.

 Still, you get used to the netKar "no contact at all" style of racing ,then stupidly expect all other races to be the same

Done. I'll PM Pen so he doesn't reverse it

Another vid

[YOUTUBEHQ][/YOUTUBEHQ]

A quick lap of Prato Short in a FF1600 (1-24-73) during practice, didn't nail T3 as well as other laps but it's still one of my better times
The lap is shown from inside then outside the car.

I meant to try and get this up before the races last Wednesday as I thought it might help act as a guide to the racing lines, but I didn't get time.

I'm using Sony Vegas to edit the videos but a lot of quality seems to be lost when uploaded to youtube, if anyone has any tips on the best Rendering options to use please let me know, thx.

[Doorman]

Nice and tidy. I love these videos, they allow me to see why I'm so crap!

[Deetz]

A nice lap Mark. As Ron says its always nice to see how other people drive a lap. Thought my lines, and times are similar, yours is a different driving style to mine.

Keep up the good work. :thumb:

PS. Damn and blast, I'm going to be busy again this Wed, so I wont be able to make the race.....:sad:

I hope it goes well.

[XLR8]

Thanks guys, I'll keep posting more vids if people find them helpful.
I think it's always nice to see how other people tackle a track and maybe find new lines or braking points, or even what not to do.

BTW W Smoker is now also using the alias Peter Price, he was online again tonight d!cking about.

[Doorman]

I wish there was some way of nailing that bastender! One of the downfalls of nKP that there is no way of banning him or indeed, even finding out who he is. One day. :sideways:

[XLR8]

Here's another vid from Prato Short of a high speed chase between me and Paolo Sala racing last night. You can see the different lines we take even though the lap times were almost identical. The two flying lap times were in the high 1-24s which is top ten stuff on nkrank, not bad considering we were racing for position. However I know where I can make up some tenths now after watching his lines in Sector 1

This looks like much better quality (if you hit the HQ button) after I googled the rendering options for Vegas and am using the WMV9 format now.

[Doorman]

Superb! You made him work. You should be part of the dMr team GPOC league. It's not too late.
