Well done, good movie. Now go and get as many skins as you can. GPC and of course our own download section are good. It's a shame, but I don't see automatic skin downloads on Kunos' 'to do' list
Keep 'em coming boys. I love these clips

Mix from my three different race laps in Prato

Bit of a pig's ear that race. T1 cock-ups and all sorts of mayhem while I trundled round in a world of my own. :lmfao: Still, 4 of us in the top ten so not a total disaster.

Not the best team effort. There were four DMR cars on the grass in three separate incidents on lap 1 before T3 !!! And yes, one of them was me :doh:

Here's a shot of me catching Ron for the 2nd time after spinning twice!
At least the collision detection seems OK here.

Sorry for harrying you a bit there Ron, I didn't recognise the Finnglish skin until I went through the replay!

Rub it in why don't you.

That's what I'm here for, to be harried.

P.S. Check out the real ads in the download section (yeah I know VP are real but hey! :flirty:)

Edit: More rubbing :narnar:

Here's a short clip of me catching Ron in the last turn after we both had to swerve round Craig who had decided to park

I remember that sphincter moment well. I was well pleased with myself for excellent evasion tactics. Super movie, keep it up!

Anyone got any setup tips for tomorrow's Race2Play event? :blink:

Doorman · May 12, 2009, 10:46:59 PM

Moose'll be along in a minute. You know me, I don't do setups

Well done Katsu.

Top bit of sensible but quick driving. I'm surprised a Lojelo's antics, he's supposed to be a top driver! :g: Unlucky Stuart, what can I say? :sad:

You could say 'Unlucky too Mark'

My report-

Not a happy race

I had a great start, from P4 I managed to overtake S.Whitehead and T.Veenstra round the outside of T1 to get into P2. Then Stuart was hard on my tail for the rest of the first lap.

Until we got to the last chicane when, as Katsushika's video shows (thx 4 posting Katsu), Andrea Lojelo drove into the back of Stuart spinning him round into me and smashing me into the wall (not Tjeerd). I know Andrea wouldn't do this deliberately but it was an appalling bit of driving. There was no way he was going to manage an overtake into that chicane on cold tyres/brakes and full of fuel from that distance.

Unlike Tjeerd I managed to drive into the pits, not using the 'Go to Box' button, which I thought was against the spirit of the R2P races? But then I was in last place and never caught up because I was pushing too hard and made two mistakes of my own. Again driving back to the pits cost me time.

Grats to Arthur again, seems to be a demon on the brakes from the replay.

The Moose · May 14, 2009, 11:10:51 AM

Another of those couldn't be arsed to practice days. Threw a setup together at the last moment and it all fell into place, grabbing a surprise pole.

Shocking start..slammed it into 2nd way to early and just bogged down, Arthur and Mark had no problem getting past me. I noticed Tjeerd getting tapped by Andrea and presumed he was damaged so i knew i still had a great chance of a result......
...wishful thinking that was:crying:

Approaching the final chicane, i pulled out half a car width just hoping to put Mark off a bit, pulled back onto the racing line ,when WHAM! Andrea just slammed into the back of me. It was one of the most stupid crashes i've been taken out by in a league environment.
I haven't a clue what he was doing. It certainly wasn't an overtaking attempt...he was to far back to even think about it. He must have simply missed his braking point by a loooong way. It was inexcusable on the first lap of a league race (or any race for that matter)

Really disappointing, and very sad to see he hasn't bothered to apologise in the post race comments (or by PM) I'd be feeling guilty as hell if it had been me. The apologies would have been flying out!

Sorry that Mark got caught up in it as well. Really crappy race for us.

o/t I don't see any vids at DMR now. I just see the word BORKED where the vids should be.... any idea why?

Seconded!

No need for you to apologise Stuart, your driving was totally considerate through the previous chicanes and hairpin, where you were right up my tailpipes

Quoteo/t I don't see any vids at DMR now. I just see the word BORKED where the vids should be.... any idea why?

I'm guessing it's a forum/html thing as it appears to affect all vid links, I tried editing mine and couldn't get it to work.
