Technology - Full Throttle

Ooooo ^That's nice Matt, never thought the Aston theme would work on a Kia  

Will anyone be around and able to freely stream one of the lobbies tonight? most likely A lobby.

I know of a few who will be racing in this but need someone in the lobby for the duration who can scroll through all the cars during the action.

If anyone can do this, please contact me via private message.

Cheers all.

my problem is the issue with my netbook, after a few minutes the programm and sites shut down and then come a blue screen.. maybe a hardware issue in that netbook, i dont't know what the main problem is..

are you running it at the correct frequency/frame rate dude? Best man to speak to would be Mr sbiggs.

my cpu processor is on 85 to 100% when i start the xsplit for stream...

and then the programm and sites shut down...

Definitely sounds more like a hardware issue rather than a software issue. Overheating perhaps?

I'd be up for doing it but used up my drop round on the first round of the season.

yes the netbook is so hot when i start the programm. overheating is the right word. hmm so what can i do? i think nothing...

and yes when the blue screen come stand that's a hardware issue and so on.

left side is very hot

Probably best to not risk it mate, thanks anyway, if we can find someone before 9 then great, if not then not to worry.

Thanks for trying though SCH1WO, appreciate it.

It's a netbook. It's not designed to cope with high amounts of CPU usage (and the heat it creates) for extended periods of time.

The sensors that feed back temperatures are telling it to shutdown because they are too hot. Repeatedly doing this could seriously shorten the life expectancy of components so I would not recommend trying to persist with it.

okay thanks for the info BG Cowboy.

TORA TCC Season 8, Mugello Round. Lobby D, Race 3. Hosted by LastNewtStandin.

We may have been D lobby... but we had fun.
Apologies if I have got any of the name's wrong.


Wheelwash leads the way through turn one followed by WizardWoz and Zakspeed, leaving the rest of the FWD RWD combinations to sort themselves out.


This is a view Beanz would get used to for most of the race. Magic was proving particularly difficult to get passed.


Smithy trying to bridge the gap between the rear group and the developing front group.


With Wheelwash and WizardWoz establishing themselves a nice lead in 1st and 2nd, it was left to Magic to lead the bunch.


Zakspeed using all the track and a little bit more but loosing momentum and allowing Smithy to sneak through.


Myself and Zakspeed going two wide into turn one. I have to give him credit, it was a fairly late dive, but he was more than fair and gave me plenty of room. He had the last laugh though when I went grass tracking a few laps later.


Apex did a good job fending of my club mate Wicked Singe for most of the race.


Magic still fending of Beanz with Smithy closing in on the pair of them.


WizardWoz maintaining his 2nd place, with Smithy, now passed Beanz and up the inside of Magic too.


Basher keeping tabs on Singe and Apex.

It was a well behaved race all round with some close clean racing; until 2 laps to go...


Newt made the pass on Beanz but went in deeper than planned and tapped Magic. Queue tandem drift session.

Beanz scampered through, Zakspeed too, and I managed to get through Newt, but allowed Basher a run on the pair of us into the penultimate corner...

...where we all decided the grass must have had more grip than the tarmac    


And it wasn't over. Now on the last lap, Newt, Singe and I went three wide through turn two. And all of this was for 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. It was certainly entertaining, even if I was a little frustrated with the end result; but hey. That's touring car racing.

Oh... and your winner.

ATP Wheelwash, by a good half a pit straight. He often does some great images and puts other in the limelight, so I thought I'd return the favour. My images may not have the same colour, contrast or post production... but I do my best.

Nice pictures Greenfly, love the descriptions too, they add to it rather than just 'a picture'.

I saw this one coming a mile off, i braked later than i really should have because of how close Newt was to me, but he braked after me! At that point i saw what was coming and slowed the car down as quick and didn't turn in, as i could to avoid contact and get the cutback underneath the pair of them, all went to plan!

Thanks Beanz. They say a picture paints a thousand words, but I think a few words can help sometimes. Just ask any of the other Pixel Motorsport members... or check out my picture thread on our forum.

As a proud ex-PNUK member (proud I was there not that I left lol) I can honestly say Greenfly has some awesome pictures appearing, keep it up mate!

Also I know you're a photographer and all, but can you please take down the hidden camera's you have around my house? Cheers bud

  eh??! I don't mind a good laugh, but I don't get this one at all Chris.  

I hope that's you dude, otherwise someone I don't know is recording me....  

The only Focus in the series has been regrettably retired after the conclusion of Race 3 at Mugello, Allied Forces proudly unveils the TCC-Spec '06 Volkswagen Golf GTi to be run at Sunset and Nurburgring. Things are already looking promising, as driver #800 K.Kilroy clocked a 1:37.8 round Sunset Peninsula, a whole 1.100 seconds quicker than the Focus.





However, the strength of the VW was also tested...
