Really...so when you brake and I brake later and am on the inside line and you decide to cut back across to the inside and cause our contact, you declare I hit you?  Ummm...no.  I didn't push you from behind.  My fender and your quarter panel coming in contact is not being pushed from behind.

Fender against quarter panel means you are out my Line of visión, that you have not completed the pass and you have to share a turn or avoid a contact.

You hit me last season in CT at mugello and I didnt say nothing, your bomb Style of driving damaged 2 cars today is ST meanwhile i could pass 2 cars and no harm done.

I was sharing the corner by holding the car inside rather than drifting out. You came back over, not me. I don't care if I was out of your line of vision, its a normal racing contact. The way you get on your soap box about how "that's racing" for everything else except this event baffles me. I already knew it was just a racing incident, that's why I never said anything. I am, however, not going to sit idly by and let you run your mouth. Maybe I need to bring a wheel of cheese for the boxes of whine you are carrying around? The damage in ST you mention was a mistake on my part, NOT by doing something I planned. I'm sorry if you're so perfect that you don't make mistakes, but you're going to have to allow for that from us mere mortals. You seem to think you know what everyone means to do but you only know the effect, not the cause. (i.e. plan, mistake, lag...etc.) Bomb style of driving.... the harder you make it for people to try and pass, they harder they have to try to make the pass.

got tagged on lap 2 and spun and had quite a bit of damage and caught up, got tagged and spun again and drove my way back to 2nd in B lobby, honestly that was quite a bit of fun.

Man im sry about hitting you in the ST race man the second time it was due to lag but the first i stayed on the gas too long...sigh man im sorry mahn

My internet provider has admitted problems during peak usage time and has reassured me that it will be sorted outin within 6 weeks.
I would just like to openly apologize o all affected by my crappy booty connection in the GT race.

On another note Roscoe, what you did was dirty. That's all Imma say on that.

Its a good car and im pretty good here once i find my rhythm. I did finish no lower than 4th in any class i think. It will be interesting to see what happens at other tracks with my GT car. Best overall weekend i had in a long while. It felt good to be in the fight in GS rather than chasing it. GT though? Those dudes were MOVING.

Also, @Vator, when i came into turn 11 i thought you were trying to hook it around to get in the pits, i didnt know you spun. I wasnt going to try to take the spot from you though even if i caught you. We had enough space between the next bunch of guys that you would have bee all set. Its a shame you lost it there though bud after that lag incident really late in the race.

On that note, there needs to be a "blue flag" etiquette". When i used to race in b and c (and even ... yes... E lobby) everyone was very courteous. And many still are. But What happened to Vator was plain wrong :/ I know i heard Speed practically shout "blue flag!!!". Personally i dont think that guys need to throw themselves into the dirt like some do, although thats extremely kind of them, but i mean lapped traffic is an element of realism, some guys getting lapped lift, but i dont think i have seen a lapped car (white flag or not) dump himself for the lead pack. Granted, lag + lapped car = please the dirt is very safe lol. I know that Max did all he could to safely move well out of the way, and Pred attempted to... and almost killed me o.o...

But yeah Official rule or not i really think that there should be some sort of driver's meeting deal where people can raise their hand, ask questions, get things sorted out, and keep it all fresh, respectful and calm.

There is an official Q & A thread for drivers to Admins. However, i think that if Pred is up to it than i think we should try and find a few minutes while the last few guys are shuffling into the room to have a small drivers meeting. It helps work out the kinks. For anyone in my lobbies, if you have a question than by all means before we get rolling ask it. I'll do my best to answer.


Also, congratz to Arguello bringing home a commanding win!

I got you blaz

Its all good, Macho Man. I had a hell of a time getting through my thick head that 100% damage on right front brake leads to instant spins when much more than grandma brake force was applied. Lol. I was one corner from Hunter and Don getting by! iRacing would have Black Flagged me, but Forza is more liberal.

i have been trying to write some stuff after each race and before. I missed last weeks before and after and im working on this one now.

I had to get up early this morning to make a meeting.  I will start on the results this afternoon/evening.

Me and Laguna Seca just don't mix well. I gave it my best and was still about a second off. My fastest lap was a 1:26.5xx averaged 1:26.9s in GT.  Although the first 15 laps or so I could barely hit mid 1:27.500 I think I got a bad set of Michelins for the first half of the race.  GS.....I am not real sure bout that M3. I always feel like I am fighting the car vs racing it.  I will spend some tune time with it this week.

The person who did the stories is no longer here. Off to college.  I usually post video's up on twitter or the FSCS vine account while I am watching replays.  Check the home page of the website or check twitter of some video action.

So will results be up today? And I can attempt to do the stories if you want although I have no idea how to.

Following the "Melee at Mazda" in GT there were some strong words thrown around. Accusations and arguments were put out there and official deliberation on that will come in due time. Starting from the top here's the race recap from this weekends racing.

In GTLM there was a win secured by Sp33dRac3r after beating out the competition with consistency and slightly better lap times. Manuel CR was going out for a win but fell short.

ST was a bit more exciting as Roscoe did all he could to keep his Patriot Missile ahead of the very hard charging pack behind him, securing a decent finishing position. Scion led the way with Matthnt running dominantly fast laps with Sabre and Placebo in route behind him.

The GS race winner Arguello, received his first victory following the commanding lead he was able to gain on his competitors once in a rhythm. However, the story of the night goes back to the 3 way battle for second place between Matthnt, Saintedplacebo, and Wolfpack. Following a pit lane folly Matthnt was able to get the jump on Placebo out of the pits and ultimately Wolfpack as well. As the two raced on ahead of Placebo. Wolfpack made a dicey and unsportsmanlike move to pass on the outside of the corkscrew, which ended up costing him time as his car went into the dirt and lost momentum. Following this mistake Placebo was able ot get around Wolf and the battle ensued. After lap 32 Sainted makes a mistake of his own granting Wolf the chance to get by while Matthnt desperately tries to gain any ground he can before the inevitable. With 5 laps to go Wolf catches Matt and the two start dueling. Sainted manages to catch their draft and the two-way becomes a three-way. The unofficial finishing order is Arguello, Matt, Wolf, Sainted.

The GT race, which turned out to be more of a derby, was the final race of the weekend. Following an intense start into the Andretti Hairpin, the bumping and banging began. Leaving almost no drivers unscathed, the Melee at Mazda took the cars right out from under the drivers. While there is debate about whether or not some of the collisions were intentional or not, there were plenty of clear cut accidents. One claimed the 2nd place driver in the final laps of the race due to a vehicle that was being lapped. The driver Vator, was luckily able to limp the car home to take the 4th place spot unofficially.

Next week's race takes us to some of the best vehicles in the world's homeland, Germany. Racing at Nurb GP will be exciting as the layout is one that hasnt yet be raced by the FSCS! Goodluck racers!

Nicely done!! But no mention of GT finishing order

Well to be honest im not sure whats happening with all the contact, etc. The only thing i know for sure is that You won and Manuel finished 2nd. I dont know if ill get a penalty for hitting R0C going into the corkscrew. It wasnt like i came in hot and stupid, but it was such a hard knock that idk. Which would change things up in the top 3 alone.

I would like to apologize to AAR GTDON and MATTHNT...
Stupid crossover on my part should have known hunter would pinch down sorry guys...
Sad face

Pred check your PM's everything you need from my preraces are still in the outbox.
