Race ,well taken out on the start given aero damage then a stupid down shift cost me some engine damage plus a few run ins with the twinkees this all cost me a few miles but overall not a bad result all things considered.
Loved racing with you mate :)was a crying shame my internet gave up the ghost because the fight was just getting interesting ;)going door handle to door handle with you though Indianapolis was amazing!

You'll be happy to know the replay is on my storefront. Very Happy

Backwards driving though is not a good thing to be dealing with
No offence taken Mr Newt, there's some truth in what you're saying, I personally don't call out passing or pitstops. This is just personal preference as I think it adds to the realism, but I normally start all events with the mic open unless it goes off topic and becomes distracting and then I just turn it off.

I love a bit of banter before & after the race, I don't mind the relevant stuff during the race, passing instructions etc from GTE to LMP and this kind of stuff. But I struggle with open chatter for sure.
Its a (unwritten) rule to call out when you pit IN and OUT in the races.

Then it needs putting in writing matey

It doesn't need writing it's expected to be done. It should be in the sporting rules anyway. We might as well take advantage of our communication systems and chat.

I don't mind chat to be honest, I think can handle driving and bantering better than some but sometimes it can be a bit much, and sometimes it bites me in the ass Very Happy

Thing is I like listening to all the status reports and call outs because I can calculate who's where, how far I'm ahead/behind them and if they're in a lower class, how long before I catch them. I like collecting all that info.

To be fair i've never called out my pit stops either, i've always found it slightly weird that people do...

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Tue 24 Sep 2013 - 7:30

I thought it was a TORA rule? I know it is a rule at VM and XPLR to call In/Out of pits, so that oncoming cars have a clue of what you are doing. Going into the pits isn't a huge deal, but popping out of the pits is a huge deal at some tracks.

by Beanz Tue 24 Sep 2013 - 7:45

It's pretty easy to know when to expect someone exiting the pits though no? I mean there's the huge blob on the mini map...

If it isn't in writing then it isn't a rule, simple.

A lack of communication will only lead to 1 thing - more crashes.

This isn't NASCAR - we don't have spotters.
This isn't F1 - we don't have a team of people on the pit wall telling us who is close to us, how fast they are closing etc.

If you are at fault for a crash because you didn't let someone know where you are, then you must be prepared to accept full responsibility that.

It's a game, we all play it to have fun. What isn't fun is when someone else ruins your race. We see it after almost every race in one form or another and if a little bit of chat in the room to let people know where you are/what you are doing helps to reduce it then, well, it seems pretty damn obvious what should to be done.

It may not be in the rules but good sportsmanship is too hard to define for rules.

We have always communicated every race infact to tell drivers if you are pitting its just common sense, looks like a common sense rule is needed.

Banter is fine in lobby but if some 1 asks some 2 be quite then please be quite and dont play music down your mic turn your mic off

A quick question. How should I enter the pits in Catalunya? The BOT usually slams my car into the wall... and I get aero damage. It doesn´t happen with all cars, but there are some that are quite wide and don´t "fit" in the computer´s calculations. Any ideias?
