Practice highlights.

Good fun. Sorry I span you Phleg, didn't see you there, boyo. You were an aggressive cunt later on so it's all good <3

 

[ReadingRambo]

Been watching all the vids and you drive really well FV. Others too but you stood out to me.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Well, I am GAF champ. None of these other lads can touch me.

 

[Dice]

I guess I should be straight up about something: I know jack shit about any of this. All I know of F1 was a demo of Flag to Flag on Dreamcast and a handful of bonus cars on other racing games. Yet, over the years I have realized two things:

1) The purity of racing is enough for me. No need for gimmicks.
2) Rally and F1 are what will get 80% of my attention.

I love high performance control. When a game brutally puts everything in your hands, it's so good. Whether it's Super Meat Boy for platformers, Virtua Fighter for fighters, or something like this for racing. I like the feeling of it all being in my hands and clearly knowing how it was my fault if I lost.

I'll probably really suck for a while as I adjust to no-drift racing, but I should be up to par before 2012 comes out.

 

[ReadingRambo]

And so humble!

 

[Lucius86]

Meh. He's a shit gaf champ.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Lucius86 is a washed up ex-champ. And sexually frustrated. Ignore him.

 

[kharma45]

Is it worth it getting a wheel (looking at the G27)? Reading through this thread it seems like anyone who has switched to one from the controller goes slower and hates it.

It takes a while to get used to it (and you do go a lot slower during that time) but after you master it you're all the better for it.

Loved the ending.

 

[ReadingRambo]

I hope to join you guys in a bit. Might wait til 2012 is out.

 

[kharma45]

Long wait that, September launch.

 

[ReadingRambo]

Well I figure you guys won't be playing it solid until September. You going to go 3-4 seasons with 2011?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

This will be our last league. A few more weeks then most of us will probably shelve it for summer until 2012.

 

[ReadingRambo]

It'll give me time to get my 80's mix together and start a training regimen over the summer.

 

[Lucius86]

F1 drivers can learn a lot from us.

 

[ReadingRambo]

Dat laugh.

 

[Lucius86]

Video currently uploading - although it was really fun, I was utter SHITE today. Should have finished P2 at least on pace, but my mistakes cost me - from poor tyre choices, to out-braking myself and hitting my team mate on the first corner. The SC brought me back into play but I still fucked up royally on the restart before I ran out of fuel.

Roll on Silverstone.

Nooooo! *starts saving money*

Sneak peak of video: DRIFFFFTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Full thing will be up tomorrow morning. It was a fun race, but disappointing. It'll make a good video at least.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Great vid mate. You saw a lot of action.

 

[Dice]

Wait... I might not have to save any money since my birthday is in september...

 

[Lucius86]

And here is my horrendous video.

My Highlights

 

[Salacious Crumb]

Pretty fun race, I had some great battles with FV during the first few laps.

My Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIp5F_ysrLc

My pole lap for anyone who cares: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a6mghputLY

And some clips from a GTA IV session Foli and I had the other night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04mjeBtxm2o

 

[Mad_Ban]

Had a pretty dreadful weekend. I wasn't quick enough in the dry, I had no grip or feeling in the wet and when I did feel like I was doing well, I was 3 seconds a lap slower than the frontrunners. I was lucky as hell to get 4th at the end.

I hope it's business back to normal at Silverstone but I've always hated it so I think it's another weekend of Crumbs domination (especially after how quick he was in the mini-league).

Nice videos though guys, so it's not all doom and gloom.

 

[Jibbed]

My pole lap for anyone who cares: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a6mghputLY

Watching that has pretty much sealed the deal for me. I'll be picking up a steering wheel when 2012 comes out, because I can't compete with that shit on a pad!

 

[Dice]

Played without assists... did... poorly...

So many gear changes...

 

[ReadingRambo]

No assists in the wet vs. professional/legend AI can go to hell.

You can use autogears for the league if you have to It's the only assist we allow.

 

[Lucius86]

My pole lap for anyone who cares: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a6mghputLY

I didn't think I would, but after watching it I really enjoyed that. I was up in the first 2 sectors on my second flying lap (by half a tenth admittedly) but lost the rear during the last section and lost 6 tenths as I had to correct the car. Bloody good lap that was. I kinda wish the race was dry as me, you and Phleg were realistically only a few tenths away from each other - again.

I really ought to record quali too.

No assists in the wet vs. professional/legend AI can go to hell.

Yeah, it takes time. Try it in the dry first, master the dry, then hit the wet.

Whack on auto-gears, that's allowed as for controllers it's a nightmare without it!

 

[Mad_Ban]

Heh... looks like I'm sticking with the wheel. Went back to the pad in a rage yesterday and it felt so alien. I'm sure sticking with the wheel will pay off.

It's a shame wet races kill the excitement (Valencia is a track meant to be raced in the dry) but I guess it's unrealistic if we only had dry races.

Kill the excitement? Were we in the same race?

 

[Lucius86]

Kill the excitement? Were we in the same race?

Heh, I thought the same, but I think it's because, for our selfish selves, the potential for me, crumbs and phleg going hammer and tongs in the dry at the front was there, but we both blew it race day with me driving like a tool and phleg not coping with the wheel in the wet.

Even though it was shite for me, it was a VERY exciting race still. I really wish I didn't run out of fuel on the final lap just because it went when you and I were wheel to wheel on the final lap. Robbed!

 

[Mad_Ban]

Kill the excitement? Were we in the same race?

It's entirely down to me being selfish haha. I'm getting quite involved in the little championship fight and I don't like the risks of wet weather.

 

[Lucius86]

Foli, without stealing your thunder, can I call dibs on the end of season vid?

 

[kharma45]

And here is my horrendous video.

I thought you got the puncture from your wets overheating or something similar when we were racing, didn't realise it was driver error.

Good vids everyone! Enjoyable race for the most part

 

[The Mana Legend]

My computer be fixed, bitches. It took my brother until today to fix it because he worked the last three days. But it is fixed.

 

[kharma45]

It'll be good to have you back.

You can rival Quiche for the most epic crashes

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I have a lot of videos to watch! And mine rendered with most corrupt stuff, so I'll have to edit mine together and upload it again tonight. Bah!

 

[Orgun]

Hey guys, I really hope no one re-enters a track in our league races like this dick did

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csjq39EXmTk

 

[Lucius86]

So what's the next circuit? Too lazy to look...but I am guessing Silverstone?

Might struggle there, never been great at that circuit.

 

[kharma45]

Yeah Silverstone is up next.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

James, none of our screenshots captured your quali time. Sorry about that!

Although Crumbs is quite ahead at the moment, 25 points for a win means this is still open to several people.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

James, none of our screenshots captured your quali time. Sorry about that!

They didn't?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

None that I saw you slut! Cheers. Kyaw can edit it later

Also, I'm lacking motivation to practice Silverstone. I don't care what people say, it's a shit track.

 

[Mad_Ban]

I'd forgotten how crap Silverstone is until I gave it a try just now :/ The DRS zone is an absolute joke and has to be the worst place for it!

 

[ReadingRambo]

Crumb that Valencia lap was a thing of beauty. Seriously 1:27-1:29 is gorgeous.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Is there going to be any practice for this track or does everyone hate it?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I have a busy few days ahead because one of my best friends is going back to uni and I want to spend time with her, so I'll be practicing at like 1am tonight maybe and then on Saturday morning, haha.

I'm going to suckkk this Saturday.

 

[Orgun]

I'm out this evening and friday evening do any practice I get done will be on Thursday/saturday
