Very nice video @oltman I was pretty sure last night that I wasn’t the cause of your spin after you overtook me at the hairpin, but seeing it now from your view I’m not 100% certain Need to go watch my highlights properly to see if it was caught there…
That you came back from two big spins and to still finish should give Hammer something to think about - keep practicing man, you’re our only hope
I don’t understand why @Solitude got DQed from Practice when he was just trying to turn back around after a spin, but you got away with reversing on the circuit when you missed the pit entry? Well weird.
Yeah, @DieGrootHammer, I thought that wasn’t you, but didn’t spot any other close calls on my quick scan through the highlights. Will check again tonight if I can find it.
Oh, and if you did save your Highlights even as short as they were, PM the link to me please. Soli, Oltman got yours - thanks.
I am 100% sure. Look at my photos. The one is right before, the other is right after the hairpin. By the time I spun around you were only then next to me. The word from the stewards: no further action required.
Eventually got round to gettig the German GP Race Highlights featuring @Solitude, @Oltman and myself put together and uploaded to the MEW YouTube channel. @DieGrootHammer’s highlights were 5 seconds at the start and 5 seconds at the end.
Learning new editing techniques every time. Unfortunately, there are a couple of stutters in the source clips - a small bit in the middle of @Oltman’ s and a fair bit in the beginning of mine. I did download the files a couple of times to try and get them better, but it never got any better. Next challenges on my video editing task list: (1) How do deal with source clips in different resolutions and aspect ratios. (Soli’s clip looks a bit odd because of the widescreen ratio he uses); and (2) How to balance/equalize the brightness and colors across the various clips (Oltman’s clip is very dark compared to the other two.) It’ll get better.
Morning Racers! Need a Yay or Nay for Round 3 in Hungary tonight?
Personally don’t mind, and would be okay either way. I definitely could do with more practice around Hungaroring - think I’ve done at most about 10 laps around it - but happily accept that all the practice in the world isn’t going to make too much of a difference in my case All the action for the in-game Weekly and IRL this weekend is in Germany, so there also that to consider.
Split vote. The FiAMEW (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile Most Epic Win) decree that we postpone Round 3 to next week. But that’s the only postponement we’ll have for the remaining 3 races of the Season. Get your practice laps in!
I’m not in South Africa from the 7th to the 22nd of August. If we race today and next week and the week after then we can finish the races before I go away.
Yeah sorry guys. Wouldn’t have pushed for it but if the only reason for no race tonight is that you guys don’t feel up to it, then I will put my foot down.
Absolutely! Very happy to have anyone join us on the Discord for chat, but I don’t think we’re going to risk the screen share thing again - that caused kak for everyone last week. @oltman did mention that he was going to try maybe live streaming his play, but I’m not sure if that’ll happen tonight?
Tonight, as a way of making things more difficult for me and close the gap more, I will be driving in full simulation mode. I am setting my Assists to Elite, meaning there is no assist what so ever. No breaking line, no medium traction control, no automatic ERS, nothing. All manual. I will also be driving from the cockpit view only, not from the TCam that I’ve been driving for a while now. I will also not have any HUD indications at all. Naked driving like the F1 drivers have.
Yes I am totally doing this to see where my level is for esports, but I highly doubt that I am good enough for esports. I am still well above 4 seconds a lap slower on some tracks than some of the top drivers.
I am away and will only be home later tonight. Might not make it in time, sorry. Please start at 8pm sharp. I wont hold it against you. I can see @Solitude is your favourite. That’s OK. I can handle it. I mean, even I would put him above me
I change my vote to have it today. I will just cut out some work time for play time
I will try my first YouTube stream tonight as well. Will share the link but cannot promise anything, sorry.
