Its sad to see people in a bad mood over an xbox game.

So if you lost out 1st place to the man in front of you in the championship, you wouldn't be upset. Seriously Nicky, I think you would be pissed like us.

Well... no, not really, I wouldn't, because I know that this sort of thing happen all the time in racing. You've just got to accept it, and move the hell on.

I do it for the fun of the competition, and I had plenty of fun tonight. I got treated like crap by Ben towards the end of the race on the track, I spun out and lost around five places, but I'm over that. What ruined it for me was the non-stop moronic comments from certain people.

I also accidentally quit the lobby, and I had to start last, that's fine by me.

The stewards did not call the safety car, there was no safety car. Ok?

Lol Nicky... It doesn't happen all the time in racing. So what, everyone calls safety car over the radio then they all slow down and get confused? NO.

NO ONE COULD HEAR THE FLIPPIN' STEWARDS!!!!

Therefore, next week we have the idea running the third race again from the same grid positions as it was before. After this race has been ran, then the final meeting will take place as usual. The choice is either to keep things as they are, or race again.

Don't bother. Cos you have lost 2 drivers from this championship.

one thing I find funny is simon said he said there was no safety car but slowed down as it was a safety car and didnt overtake.

That's because Chad was hollering over the mic. Honestly mate, things like this have happened before. The rule is, if its not called by a steward, and it's not confirmed that two cars have pranged it, then you keep racing till a steward can call it. That's the rules. The confusion was caused by Chad who kept repeating SAFETY CAR over and over and over.

Sorry, my mind was taken back with trying to sort out the confusion

All I recall, was a couple drivers saying safety car. I remember Chad calling it a few times. Dunno who else, but it was so hard to hear and if a steward said something, I certainly didn't hear it. I'm sorry for lashing out but its how I feel.

Sorry Simon. My heads just not in the right place and it feels like we have been cheated out of our places. Next week Race 3 restart sounds good! I love this series but that just got me upset!

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 21:59

I got confused as I couldnt hear who was saying it as so many voices were spoken at the same time, I just saw all the cars infront of me slow and in a single line so there for I assumed that it was a safety car, each race there should be a safety car driver who sits in the pitlane and comes out when a safety car is called lol

by nickyf1 Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 22:00

I think we should put Chad in that roll, the track would be a much safer place Razz

by johnnyboy360 Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 22:00

That could happen now Jamie. We had 14/16 drivers today, we could never have done that with 8 player lobbies but if someone wanted to volunteer and be a safety car, that could be feasable.

dont forget we had 2 very good races before hand as well Smile

and imo what was more confusing is that 2 cars were involved, but only 1 rolled

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 22:03

Oh I could be a sunday safety car I hate racing on sundays

by **Biggsy tv** Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 22:04

All in all though I thought the racing was really good, fact that 14 cars and no 1st corner carnage is something to be seen!

Yes that is a good point come on lads pat on the back to everyone for a great first two races, like it was said race 3 will be the messy race

Not just the ferraris but the GTs too, anything you have to build up to a high spec and tune I am rubbish at, I am only racing the tuesday and thursday events now

Ah ok. I am starting to love the higher specs now and hating the low specs! I can drive really well with TCS off in faster cars, hence having closer races and better times.

from the incident i've just heard about from tonights race, there's a saying in football, always play to the whistle and that's what it sounded like what's happened tonight, only the lobby captain can call a safety car EVERYONE knows that so unless the lobby captain in this case Biggs calls a safety car then you keep racing. Simples.

Yeah, but Nick, you weren't there. It was really hard to hear anything as Chad and a couple others were calling Safety Car out over anything else and by the time anyone said anything it was too late.

Another problem so many people said it that it became unclear who was saying it

by nickyf1 Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 22:13

Well, in future, the leader should wait, and keep racing, until it is made totally clear, by a staff member, that a safety car will occur.

by johnnyboy360 Tue 1 Nov 2011 - 22:14

Oh Nicky, its so easy for you, if only you could lead all the races... What if there WAS a safety car, according to you its alright if we keep going on and probably going into another lap. Your good...
