You have a good point there, it might be a good idea to shake up the teams and make things interestingDibbz said:Well I'd like to drive a different car. You can come along to the NSX if you want (if the current guys don't want it that is) but hey it might be fun to race against you as well

I have a friend who is getting a wheel that will be looking for a partner this upcoming season.
BTW, speaking of friends, what´s the deal with creating new accounts here? After Chimilosky´s latest lame excuse that he still can´t post, i decided to create a new account for him to use, but i can´t create...
Anyone knows what´s up with this?

All I can say is that it took me three attempts to get an account (since 2009) and that it took 4 months to get this account validated... so good luck. I had lost all hope
False edit: beaten
I'll say that I'm updating MGO and it's taking its sweet long ass time, I may not make it to tonight's practice if it doesn't get faster.

I am up for a team and car swap too. I loved the NSX but wouldn't mind driving a different car. I am EST time btw.

Sorry for the shitty and kinda dangerous racing, I have a terrible backache and it showed.
By the way, I'm gonna be clear: can I take part in season 2? I don't care much about the car I'll use (I'm getting used to the Xanavi GT-R '08 though) or if my team mate is fast or slow I don't know if there are any free slots for me or not.

I don't know if there are any free slots for me or not.Yeah, I'm starting to have that concern as well, lol.ashk said:That was some great racing today with everybody involved. I should stop using the GT-R in practices though, I like it so much that I'll probably end up disappointed if I don't manage to get one for next season
Great racing today.
Oh, and while I don't have any say on this matter, my understanding from talking to some of the guys is that: they know there are a few new requests to join the league, and they plan to use them.Risk Breaker said:By the way, I'm gonna be clear: can I take part in season 2?

So while I can't provide a definitive answer, I'd say don't worry, shouldn't be an issue.
Defiantly. Next week we will be opening registrations so stay tuned.Risk Breaker said:Sorry for the shitty and kinda dangerous racing, I have a terrible backache and it showed.

I've noticed that too. Everyone is respectful of each other (and for the most part) aware of where everyone is relative to them, which is really important when racing in packs (which also happened a lot tonight).Dibbz said:
It's a win-win for everyone!

Awesome, i wish those practices during week days were a little later, right now it´s too early for me.
As for the cars, after some thinking, i would like a piece of that Yellow Hat GTR, or, if that´s not possible, any of the Nissan´s factory based teams would be cool. (Defending with the Autech, Xanavi ´08, Xanavi Z ´06, Xanavi ´03 or Pitwork ´04... i´m pretty sure all of those are Nissan factory-based teams).
------
I wanted to say i would like to race the Takata Dome NSX ´03, but i´m sure Chimilosky is reading and he would throw rocks at me if i said that

Heh... might want to consider what others have said about this car.
Hint: it´s total crap.
I know it looks like a hot supermodel, won a race in real life, but...
Mush said:
I'm glad you uploaded that! Everyone should watch that. It's a good example of two racers minding each other's position on the track, only overtaking when safe, and in general just a great battle.
That was soooooooooooooo fun!
And the standard looked real nice along side your pretty premium.

(1 track so far)We just assume that you and Toxa haven't really mastered the art of accepting the cards you've been dealt and that it would be best for you to drive a Lexus again so you can really learn to be happy with what you have.ashk said:
Nice! We will have a look at it later today.Toxa said:done
I'd be happy with a Lexus, if it wasn't so ugly! But I would just like to try a different car, drove a GT-R for the first season.ashk said:
Great idea! I think I will need to fire up GT for the first time in days.Angst said:As part of next season's schedule we are aiming to use one user created track. To involve you guys we are going to hold a competition were you submit your track to us and we will vote on the best track.

That's great! Thanks, and thanks to brentech too, you are very helpful with all my n00bie questions.
Mush said:
I wish we could choose the number on our cars, because at first I sincerely didn't know if that Xanavi GT-R is me or not, though judging by the racing line I think it is lol (edit: nah I'm the GT-R at the back in the end, I think I got pwnd at the start in that race). I love watching replays of the races and I didn't save anything yesterday. Besides my PC is too slow to record anything with my capture card
That was some nice racing by the way, very clean, exciting and fast. I personally don't know if it's an improvement over previous races, but the two times I've played with you lot I've had a great time.
Angst said:
Love the idea, I'll get to it! I rarely use the course maker, so it's the perfect excuse.
The Xanavi at the front is ashk battling me in the YellowHat. We had an awesome race where we traded positions for 4 laps - then I got unsettled from having him in the rear view mirror all the time and took one corner too fast... :/ My mistake and excellent pressure from ashk.Risk Breaker said:That's great!

Nice to hear that you guys like the idea of a user created track! Bonus points if someone does a 1:1 re-creation of Spa

Yeah, I didnt even notice the SUPRA was a standard. Nice battle.UFRA said:And the standard looked real nice along side your pretty premium.
I'm starting to like the look of the Lexus more now. The white ones look best IMO. And they are definitely easier to control than the Nissans, so for the people having a hard time controlling their car last season I'd definitely recommend testing the Lexus with stage 2 turbo. Set the power limiter to 502 BHP.Dead Man said:
Edit - it would be a good idea for old and new drivers alike to start finding a team mate. Maybe it would be a good idea to switch team mate from last season? That's totally up to you guys though. The faster you can get your team organized the easier the sign-ups will be next week.

I can not stand by and let this Lexus smack talk continue! Breaking down last seasons results we discover that the Lexus won 20% of the races, same as the Fairlady with the GTR's taking the remaining 60%.
Angst said:Nice to hear that you guys like the idea of a user created track! Bonus points if someone does a 1:1 re-creation of Spa
I'm not a big fan of these created track, especially those from the special event (not interesting IMO) and I never tried this feature.
so it was the opportunity to use this feature and It's cool for my first attempt I tried to create an interesting track, my track is a bit short but fun
Angst said:
I also didn't like the look of the Lexus at first, but after racing with it a few times and watching the replays it started to grow on me, and now I think it looks at least as good as the other cars. The orange livery is unique and it pops out in the field.
Regarding teams for next season, I think it's too early to start setting them up before we know what the situation with the cars will be, since I think the primary factor in teaming up is that you drive the car you both like. Personally I'm fine with staying with my current team mate, but if there's a difference of opinion I don't want to be pressuring him into driving a car he doesn't want to or vice versa.

*Crosses fingers for Standard cars allowed*
Also, i don´t think people would mind if we had two teams racing the same model... or would they?

Uploaded a track for your enjoyment.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present, "Prestige WorldWide Raceway". Coming in at 7.1km, providing spills and thrills through numerous S curves and blind hills, a backside speedway, and corners that require you to buy a hat....and hold the fuck on to it!
Now open for track day scheduling. Death waivers required.

Well I've got this kinda inverted version of Eau Rouge
It's a 250+km/h right hander going downhill then inmediately going up and a 250+km/h left hander and inmediately after that a 2nd gear right hander on the top of a pretty big hill. Then you go down the hill, do some more turns and end of the lap!
I have to work on it a little more though.
I don't think you can. I've downloaded their tracks and maybe they are available on my profile? Scratch that as it's only possible to share one track at a time. You'll have to add them to your FL I guess.Dibbz said:

Just posting a video of one race yesterday. It had Bren and Nab swapping position for the whole race and I could see it all from behind them. I slowly started to catch up though. Great racing by both of them.
First turn was dangerous though.
