  1. Great pics Tosh. Top one is now my desktop
  2. Could have done with a few more cars, however the drivers that were there produced some really good racing. Had too battles with Tosh, Walker,Grasser & Tom to name a few
  3. Note to self, make sure to dent the new 363 machine on the way past Very nice tosh
  4. Other commitments??? how can you have "other" commitments!! Because he has some other git nagging him about other commitments. Although I don't normally enjoy racing at NIR I thought it was a good night with 95% of the racing being hard and fair. My normal big race luck surpassed its self, not even making it to the line on my wheels
  5. Try downloading agin, sounds like the download failed
  6. Aub I make the final 4 106, 716, 18, 27
  7. New Tarmac F2 car thanks to Aub for all his hard work
  8. If you had stripped the paint of before putting the yellow over top it wouldnt be so heavy
  9. I have a new car in the shop, with your number engraved on the dash
  10. Well after a moan last week I thought the racing was superb this. No stupid rejoins and with 1 or two exceptions clean racing all night. Some bad luck in the ealy laps of the final when I was a bit of a pinball wizard(Some of you older guys may get the refrence) left me to far of the leaders to catch them but I guess I had all my luck in heat two when cars just seemed to part like the red sea. GN was a great race, sorry Wrighty I don't really remember what happened I think you were going a bit slow for some reason and a push just turned you round easier than I thought it would. Almost caught Kruiz and Tosh another lap I would have been there. Special mention to Gary who I think in every race i spent a few laps trading the bumper with, good clean racing lad Congrats to TomD who I think by some margin has pole for the WOS race, outside front row will not be the place to be at the view
  11. If you read my my comments they were not actually directed at whites. But then as always you see what you want to see
  12. Top Job Tosh very nice.
  13. while i could refer you to the passage that starts 're-entering the flow of traffic' i'd probably be best to shurrup Fair play guv Jimmy don't get him started on shale wings the rant will never end
  14. Its not spun cars I was talking about, but cars that drive in to you when you are trying to avoid them.
  15. I am on modding Holiday Not sure what will be in the next update but I would like to have a look at some point, Rods to redo first though.
  16. Some of you probably disagree but I don't think generally moan to much, however twice last night I found myself having my say. First off let me state that the last thing I want to do is to stop people racing, and would like other opinions on this and to see if we can all come to some agreement as drivers. The first incident that I complained about was a car being sat facing the wrong way in the middle of the track,, cars start to go either side of it and then as a big pack approaches they floor it and drive straight into the oncomming traffic while trying to turn round taking ruing the race for 5 or 6 other cars. To me this is not acceptable you wait until there is a gap before moving. If you sit still people can miss you, the drivers coming towards you have enough to think about without worrying about which way you are going to move. This include the people who as soon as they start to spin stick it in reverse and just floor it. The second complaint I had was very similar. You get spun and just keep your foot in, go shooting across the track in whatever direction you are facing and take anyone out trying to go past you. Again imho you sit where the car comes to rest until its clear to go again. Finally. If you end up on the infield don't just drive straight back on to the track at whatever angle you are facing flat out. Either merge back in safely with the traffic or wait until there is a space and rejoin however you like. Generally I think the racing was very good last night, but once people got spun they just seem to loose all regard for anyone else. To Mav, yes I moaned at you on the server but that does not in anyway mean I want you to stop racin just learn from your mistakes(or what I percive to be your mistakes) Please guys lets have some comments on this and get a discussion going.

  17. Late bookings accepted here until 19:30
  18. Nor are ones from a lap down Tom has always been like that Lee, he is the new "Spudspeed" with a few others not too far behind - I am sure people will not tolerate it for much longer before they return the hits and it will happen at the worst time ie Championships. Mike had that situation earlier this season but Allstar didn't do a good job of it The core of rFactor drivers are making this series a great one to "Race" in but a few are taking a different approach to the racing and its standing out. What they are doing isn't necessarily wrong but what it does seem to be is "Unsportsmanlike" to the majority. I don't have the answer to the age old problem, but my thoughts are the more people that actually "Race" in rFactor, the more I am sure they will find it rewarding - but there will always be those who find it rewarding driving in a different manner. If you don't believe in the alternate driving manner, please do not resort to their kind of driving, stick to what you believe in and let Admin deal with any problems, if any, that arise from it. Overall try and give enjoyment to others as you would wish them to give to you and you WILL see the rewards of this fantastic mod. This is not just a problem in 1s, its the same drivers across all mods. No matter what you say to them they never listen until one day it clicks. But even when this happens there is already someone waiting in the wings to take over
  19. I believe the G25 wheel is 11 inches, they are starting to turn up second hand although still not cheap.
  20. All in all a top nights racing I think. We had 1 heat where the driving standards were below par but after a word in chat most seemed to calm down. Got to be happy with second in the final really, was 12th and over half a lap down at the end of lap 1. Fought my way through, with everone racing fair and not getting held up to much. Had some close laps with Gary before a backarker too a shot at him for no reason and cleared me to try and catch the front two. At this point I was coming out of two as Tosh was going in to three so didn't think I would get there but chipped away and with about 5 to go had more or less caught them but then a slight tangle with a car I was lapping(nobodys fault just not quite a wide enough track) dropped me off again just enough that I was not quite close enough on the last bend . Congrats to Kruiz lets hope to actually see that wing a few times this year to give the grid some variation.
  21. Sorry Spike only just seem this. Sounds like it has put the files in the wrong place. Try reinstalling the track and the update.
  22. Cheers drumb i did think that but looked at f2 list and never seen 9pm lol Its there
  23. It is Trav, it just means you can race tooz afterwards as they are not starting until 9
  24. Thought I had a bit of a mare last night so happy with 30+ points. Nature of the track that 1 car hits the tyres and all hell brakes loose, from the back it is then a lottery of who gets through. Still most of the racing was top class last night, and if TOm keeps going like that it will be a three way fight for the Silver.
