I have a feeling I'm supposed to be one of those HiredGun's but I don't know which one.

Edit: actually pretty sure I'd be the second one or probably farther back.

I think I put BLACKxxRAVENxx into bigdutyDMomoney's spot. I will fix that ASAP!


Also updated the results with a couple of times corrected. Also the Pole Position Times are showing now on the website.

The actual qual times will show once the final results of todays are completed Tuesday or Wednesday as always.

how come i'm not in any of the looby rooms?

Yeah I went from 8th to 10th with the rooms adjusting now!

So I leave my place with all my xbox stuff packed, including hdtv, and high-tail it over to m'lady's place (she has wonderful internet over here) and hook up all my stuff. By that time it's 6:59 CST (race starting at 7) and I turn on the xbox (already connected via ethernet) and try signing in. It doesn't work. I try direct connection to the modem (doesn't work), my wireless adapter (doesn't work), resetting both modem and router (doesn't work) then it lets me sign in for about a second. I keep trying, doesn't work. It's now 7:25 and the only device that works in the house is her laptop (which am currently on). Sorry guys, I tried, maybe next week.

I was comfortably third and somewhere around lap 30 some stones flicked up from the back of DTM Sniper's cars which forced me to pit. After I went back out I couldn't get out of 4th gear down the straight.

On lap 46 my xbox crashed

Ouch. Hate to hear that. I know the only way I can get my Xbox through an endurance race is to keep a pretty big fan pointed right at it, and it seems to help.

All I know is, I feel horrible about that race.

That does suck though, Sabre. Seemed like things had been going pretty well prior to all of that. I assume trans or shifter damage, or something?

Oh man what a turn of events at the end. Outlaw i saw you coming and i KNEW it was going ot end bad i held left and when i broke late i still saw you shoot up and i shifted left. you missed me by NADA. If i had another 2 tenths i woulda warned ched but i couldnt get my mouth to open fast enough. Its a shame because ched mighta finished on the podium.

I think for now on there needs to be a rule that once a race is about to start it must be set to invite only/ if you quit out of a race you cant come back in. We had 2 people join B lobbys room, one a racer who quit and came back and another who was a random and when they joined/ spectated it caused huge lag spikes for everyone

Yeah, I tried to give y'all a warning, but between trying to break my concentration to say that, and trying to pull something off... All I could get out was 'Ched', nothing more quick enough, and even that wasn't. I can't remember exactly why, but I tried just pulling to the inside, I think our braking points might have been different and I wasn't expecting it, but I tried to just hook the inside line, but before I could say that was my intentions, well.. I just fubared up, just like when I hit you on the one attempt.

I put too much preparation in for racing that poorly, and taking anyone else out, too.

+1 good idea

That's how my rooms are set up. Invite only.

For me....terrible terrible outcome for a race I felt so confident about. Got into blaxzayyxxl on lap 3 and from there I was limping around 2 1/2 seconds slower a lap. 47laps of that pace and I get lapped by RB77 on lap 48. Damn damn damn. Well Catalunya I have to battle back.



NEED B ROOM TIMES.

4th and 5th last week, 3rd and 2nd this week. I want higher!

Not going to happen citizens lol..you would have been 5-6 this week only if...well we all know what happened lol but good run man you carry speed in that car well.

Those Corvettes could be a problem at Catalunya. I think the races coming up are going to be remarkably competitive! I think this schedule for Season X is great!

(edit it) which ever Corvettes show up that is.

right lol...got keep them behind us.

There was some close racing today, and aside from the AI being a bit ruthless and laggy it was still a great race. Cant wait for next weekend.

[growling] The world is out to make sure that I don't compete. I can verify, however, that the 'Vette is pretty quick here. Lots of corners where downforce matters a lot.

Yeah, it sucks pretty bad. It was just that I was topping out in 4th with the aero damage, lost ~15mph.

Dang. Yeah, spending most of the race off pace is definitely not enjoyable. Especially on any track with so many straights that you can't top out on anymore.

People who consistently lag every race need to be kicked out of the series. Raceboy had to pre race every race when his lag was bad and theres no reason why Lukemad shouldnt have to do the same thing. We cant control lag when theres a lag spike or anything of that nature but you can control who races when their lag is epic every weekend. I'm tired of having my race being ruined by someone who has crappy internet and is a spaceship or a hoverboard every race
