i was hungry!
We got there eventually, good race guys
@oltman, please check if you can join the official server again, I moved it to the next event. I think it was just that track for some reason.
We need to do Kyalami again sometime, what an awesome track.
So this was a good test of redundancy, we can race on the other server and still integrate everything into Server Manager retroactively.
Race results
Championship standings after 2 events completed.
1st lap incidents @ Kyalami
Just a short little clip I threw together.
-5 pts for @oltman
Reason: negligence/pissing off @DieGrootHammer
hahaha sorry @aldyr from that angle I look like a total douche… but what I thought at that moment was the same as any F1 driver at a corner incident… " he just turned into me!"
All you had to say was let’s drift aldyr and i’m there man. Fuck racing, when you can go sideways
Oh puhleeze! I have a better start, on the wrong side of the track. I leave more than a car’s width on the outside. The big baby then drives like a man possessed, repeatedly into me until I make a mistake! For shame, @DieGrootHammer, for shame!
When are we doing it all again?
I think a fair and measured ruling. It is clear as day there was not enough space (always you gotta leave-a da space).
Also if only I didn’t have that bad pit stop issue I would’ve ended up much better, but it was a fun race. Kyalami really is a very fun track, and the Porsche is a great car to drive.
We’re not super serial here, but if you did want to get technical, your move was made with good intention and you could have had a successful overtake there. There was enough room on the apex if your approach angle was a bit better. The problem was you outbraked aldyr AND yourself and ended up understeering into him. -5 brownie points to you sir
I’ll have to update and consult my loadshedding schedule, but lets say 3 March for now.
haha that akward moment when you outbrake yourself. Yeah, cold tires and not too used to these driving line things. But I’ll do better next time.
It’s all in the password: dontdrivekak
Lets bring back the GT3 race! Flip, that was a lot of fun!
Hey, hold up now. We still have 4 races to go.
If you guys want to do some casual races in-between the league stuff, I’m very much up for that.
There’s a few different things we can do.
Cue @aldyr and the randomiser idea…
This idea is born out of that random Beemer we drove on that random server, car sucked, but we still had fun. Then the other GT3 server we joined was awesome too, cos it’s different from what we usually race together.
Add list of random cars, that are either amazing to drive, or have character, put them in a hat, random draw for one of them. Then we do a one car race, at a track that suits or doesn’t suit the car.
You can call it theme racing, if you like. Choose cars for the list cos:
it’s wow, or
it’s unbelievably shit, or
it’s historical, or
it’s slow (so you need to destruction derby your way throw corners)
Obviously avoiding slow cars on large tracks. But maybe you want to make some crazy races, to pair a small track with a GT car.
eg.
Audi R18 e-tron quattro 2014 (2014) : what if we drove a plane that didn’t fly?
BMW M3 GT2 (2009) : just about the best BMW GT car eveer
Ferrari 458 Italia (2011) : quintessential easy driving supercar
Ferrari F2004 (2004) : schumacher’s monster, challenging F1 to drive, but if you master it, it’s blindly quick
Ford Escort RS1600 : cos escorts and south africa go together
KTM X-Bow R (2008) : it’s snappy, like a bear trap
Lamborghini Countach (1983) : this was up on the wall of many boy racers, right next to cindy crawford
Lotus Type 49 : the grand daddy of F1, a beast to drive, who needs down force!
Lotus 3-Eleven (2015) : lotus with the most wow factor. Don’t argue, just go test drive it
Mazda MX5 Cup (2016) : designed to trade paint at every corner
McLaren P1 (2013) : oops, a little pee came out
Nissan GT-R NISMO (2014) : nani?! Gran Turismo in AC!
Pagani Zonda R (2009) : because, everyone should get to experience perfection.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (2015) : just about as much fun as you can have in a road porsche
Porsche 935/78 ‘Moby Dick’ : cos i needed a dick joke
RUF CTR Yellowbird (1987) : the masochists choice, guaranteed to get us all swearing at the guy ahead of you, the guy behind you, porsche and RUF for birthing piece o’ #$%^. Basically, it go fast. It no stop.
Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (1966) : ford vs ferrari (movie) inspired
Toyota AE86 Tuned (1983) : still the best toyota ever made
I’m a fan of the 1-liner car reviews.
Loooool
Flip that was funny!
I like the idea of a one car race with a theme! Very clever and I am IN!
Yeah, reminds me of the Forza 7 Challenges we did a while back.
Sounds good! Variety is the spice of life
ISP has finally fixed their UPS, no more server downtime!
Yay! Nice work that ISP. Now if only we could all be confident enough to say the same about our own machines…
