What's the problem with the lobbies starting at slightly different times?

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 17:06

If we show lobby a waiting on the grid for about 40 seconds on motors tv where as when we show a lower lobby that takes longer due to new people they only wait on the grid for a few seconds. It will look starnge

Okay fair enough. Thanks for the information mate Smile

by LastNewtStandin Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 17:22

Thank you for the response.

I will practice last seasons grid procedure with my drivers tonight.

I to prefer last seasons rules. A set speed and no brake warming would iron out the system.
Also be better as all tracks this season have grids i think Smile

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 17:56

They do all have grids thats why i choose them with the parade lap in mind

by LastNewtStandin Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 18:16

Aha so its you we have to blame for tsukuba!
I thought it was picked based on camera angles.

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 18:37

Nothing wrong with that track at all (it my TROC track) and so was Silverstone National

by LastNewtStandin Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 18:59

Im just jesting Jamie,

It offers lots of passing oppotunity and will keep people on there toes for the whole race Smile

I like Tsukuba. It quite reminds me of a NASCAR short track, except for all the right turns.

by Hainesy Wed 21 Aug 2013 - 19:33

Tsukuba's my favorite track in the whole game, love it and it rarely gets used. Sad

by PLOW tubbi Thu 22 Aug 2013 - 8:02

I always thought that tsukuba short was just a pitting testing track.

10ft pit.....10ft pit : )

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Thu 22 Aug 2013 - 8:07

I have to say after lots of building and testing a few cars at the different tracks, while I was a bit critical of the balance last season, this season's PI adjustments and track selection should make for some great racing.

Cheers to the staff and testing team Cheers

Isn't that what editing is for?

Use the warm up lap in the background to talk through the grid order. You can use as much/as little of the warm up lap as required.

Pick a replay camera angle where you can see the first few cars lining up on the grid *edit snip* the last car is lined up *edit snip* lights on ... lights off, GO!

Cool

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Thu 22 Aug 2013 - 22:40

^ Agree with Cowboy about editing the footage.

by PLOW tubbi Fri 23 Aug 2013 - 7:40

we are here to race with tora! the rest of the background stuff is for the staff to contend with.
If they need our help they will ask.

I take it that they make good decisions seeing as the site is so popular and
some of the guys like me have raced here for many years.

So, with all of that said I would to thank the staff for their years of service and may it continue for many years yet, or at least until I get artheritis and cant hold the controller any more. : )

how about for parade lap announce driver positions and mid track have them slow down for rest of the drivers. then when the group gets together switch to group and make statements about track and random info until field gets to S/F line n boom go.just an idea. maybe a test of this this tuesday post video on here so everyone knows wat to do.
