hmm, the live timing is wrong, Y22 finished ahead of me, and both of us completed 44 full laps

by Guest Mon 6 Jul 2009 - 0:48

The warm up lap is not counted.

by HCR generaltso Mon 6 Jul 2009 - 3:48

That lack of a wing is giving them so much straight speed, they are faster than GT3 cars

that is true- I think we should lower GT4 to S860- a 20 pi difference between GT3 and GT4 is not enough

you turnt up an hour late mate

I showed while you guys were still in the starting grid. Decided to watch you guys through lap 17 or so on Forza TV and left.

by **Richy59** Mon 6 Jul 2009 - 22:06

Qualifying stared at 8pm BST so you must have turned up at least 30 mins late if they were setting up the grid.

by **LMR DarthMario** Mon 6 Jul 2009 - 22:14

lap 17? that musta meant u were watching the main event

I have requested this, so hopefully that will be up in the next few days

by BrnoutJerzey Tue 14 Jul 2009 - 21:29

ok- it seems end combatspace has run off with my car and removed me from his friends list, and hasn't responded to my messages on this board

by **Richy59** Tue 14 Jul 2009 - 21:33

Maybe the same thing has happened to him that happened to Dan?

by BrnoutJerzey Tue 14 Jul 2009 - 21:34

what's that? He said his other account got hacked into but he hasn't responded on this site either

by **Richy59** Tue 14 Jul 2009 - 21:44

He's taking a bit of time off the now until he gets things sorted. I don't know exactly what happened, but his account is lost and all of his friends list was cleared so it looks like he deleted everyone, which he hasn't.

by BrnoutJerzey Tue 14 Jul 2009 - 22:08

gotcha- how do you know this and I don't? lol

by Y22 DJH Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 0:46

the race is over 90 mins
but is it 90mins from the very start or 90 mins from the end of the warm up lap?
if its the latter our lobby lost out on about 2min30s racing time because we went 90 mins from the very start, meaning we missed out on at least an extra lap, if not maybe 2, in the first round

by BrnoutJerzey Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 2:34

yeah, it's from the end of the warmup

by Highcroft Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 2:44

I don't think you should do the final finishing order by completed laps. If one lobby flies through their warm up-lap then they could easily gain a lap on the other lobbies. This is probably what happened Y22 DJH and gen3ral. Our warm-up lap could have been slower meaning they weren't able to start their last lap even though they were less then 30 seconds behind me.

by **LMR DarthMario** Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 2:49

actually, im a bit confuzzled as well. did the 24hr clock start after the green flag or when the cars rolled off the line for the LeMans race? i forget... (and i watched as much of it as i could)

by BrnoutJerzey Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 4:04

It always starts right at the end of the warmup lap- if any lobbies didn't, they messed up.

by Pebb Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 4:14

I think it will be harder for the LMP1 cars to get past traffic on Silverstone, mainly because their is more corners then Sebring.

Plus there does not seem many good straights for the LMP1 cars to get past traffic. But on the whole the Silverstone race should be far closer then Sebring.

And finally

I hope AJzero can do some kind of highlight reel from Sebring for Tora TV.

by BrnoutJerzey Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 4:21

someone's up early! Smile

I like silverstone, I just wish the weather wasn't crap, lol It is kinda gloomy racing for an hour with overcast- but it is a better track, imo

by Crisis Nine Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 8:31

Yeah our lobby went from the end of the warm up lap too. But when you get to 1 hour 30 mins do you finish the lap you are on or do you get one more lap after the lap you are currently doing?

by Y22 DJH Wed 15 Jul 2009 - 17:05

so basically our lobby was robbed of a couple of laps then
thats good
