Peewee Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Good meeting but a rubbish night for me, Im determind to crack this oval racing stuff lol
Toff244 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 It was a good meeting but the final was ruined by a select few. Top work on the meeting Jake well done
Jake691 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Posted March 7, 2014 Cheers guys, was a good meeting from my point of view
Wardieee Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Well Done to all the winners and of course another huge round of applause for all of the hero's who go all out to ruin peoples nights! You must be like the biggest hardest most phenomenal drivers ever to be seen behind the wheel of an automobile, and obviously that's why you have the time to do this because driving a real life car is just so totally over rated.... Shame on you! Thanks for the meeting F1 admins! See you on the muddy stuff Edited March 7, 2014 by Wardieee
Mav Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 Having eagerly awaited this meeting I was optimistic that it was to be a fun meeting and a great ice breaker for the new 2014 season. The F2's was a good meeting and going from that I had hoped that the F1's would be the same, however there seems to be a different mind set from drivers which takes a bit of getting used too!! Having now watched the replays, the meeting seemed to be quite good, although at the time pieces of the meeting were annoying and I reacted accordingly. ie Something happens to you and you immediately want to do it back as you believe it wasn't your fault and the person who has done it is a t***er. Revenge is the only outcome that will then satisfy you. For example, bad re-joins. If you go out, especially in a points position, your immediate thought is to get back into the race so you spin round and boot it. once booted the car snakes all over. But you don't care as long as other cars behind do not get past. Now that happens in real life, but with the chance of being hurt, having a badly damaged car or stalling isn't an issue in rFactor. So as much as you cry out "Bad Re-join" these things are going to happen. Yes people should take more care, but lets be honest whose blood doesn't boil when you are taken out? Being careful is the last thing on your mind! It is a very difficult area to determine what was deliberate ie driving at cars in an attempt to get going again or what is a genuine attempt to get back into the race ie seeing space but not getting away quickly enough or re-losing control. Our instinct and character determine what will happen after we have spun out, but the rest of us, if taken out ourselves by it, should believe that "yes it was me this time, but next time it should be someone else!" Still very difficult not to let your blood boil when it happens to you too!! I feel that's this is how most people approach rFactor (Do to them what they do to you BUT HARDER), which is a shame because I feel that if you accept the bad then the good will come eventually and the racing would be terrific. I found myself getting more feisty as the meeting went on and looking at my results they got worse in comparison, so if I race to enjoy and accept that from time to time bad things will happen, then hopefully the decent results will come my way. That's the theory anyway! Not sure how HHunter #62 was allowed to keep his Heat 3 win, when he violated three rFactor rules even before the green flag dropped! Firstly he moved before we all clicked in and I actually landed on top of his car, pushing mine to the side, then once the green was shown to move he raced past #107 who was white to start the race as pole. But having already won his previous heat he should have started at the back of the grade, not pole. Finally he jumped the start gaining a huge advantage over the rest of the field, especially how he led the whites round quickly and were way ahead of the yellows, then to go before the "Go" was called!! Finally to Matty #300, I am unsure of your reasonings in the Grand National, because watching the replay we were side by side when we made contact, with the slightest glance making your car spin, but as we progressed I righted your car and you lost a small amount of time and no places - you were 15th at the time and I was 10th. I am not saying I wasn't to blame, but it seemed more of a "racing incident"; So I'm at ait of a loss as to why Anyway - Next Stop - Sexberium
wee dode Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 was a good well run meeting, just had no luck in some of the races but hey ho thats racing. Out of curiosity Mav did you actually mention any of this to the admins or stewards at the meeting or at all for that matter? As seems that would be the common sense thing to do or had that slipped your mind?
Mav Posted March 8, 2014 Report Posted March 8, 2014 I pm'd the race manager directly after the race, and hence why I am unsure of how he kept the win.
Jake691 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I pm'd the race manager directly after the race, and hence why I am unsure of how he kept the win. Mav, the meeting was a pre-season taster for the new members who have never raced F1s a chance to get to grips with the cars and proceedings before the start of the season next week. I spoke to HHunter after you sent your complaint in, i said "On rolling laps, please remain at a steady 20mph until GO GO GO is called." After that i heard no complaints about him for the rest of the meeting. If there's any other problems feel free to PM on the forum and we can address them. Cheers, Jake.
