I'm fine with the general use of driver aids, its just when good drivers that don't need it use it to gain an advantage.

I, too, switched to the clutch. I switched the weekend of the GT3 meeting at catalunya. And since, im sure some of the regular A-lobby drivers may have seen the nice accel I get off the line. Smile

And in personal use, ive seen some of my tunes get roughly a full second faster

Well, after a month of testing for the LM2.4 my game save was deleted on accident last night. (you can read about it over in the Community Update - Disaster Struck). Without repeating what's over there I'll just say showing up will be iffy for me for qualifying. Maybe I can be relegated to the back of the grid for GT2 on race day for not making any of the qualifying days. I wasn't hugely fast but had made solid progress. I started at 4:20 in my GT2 spec Ferrari and had it consistently in the 4:05s with a best time of 4:03.8. So I was pleased although not competitive but have been looking forward to this race meeting. I've not given up! I'll have to start the game over and what not but hopefully I'll make the race. Mad

Actually made it to the hotel early dragging my xbox so I could do Qualifying on Thurs. to find a gorgeous 32" LCD TV w/HDMI waiting for me along with wired internet in the room. All was great until... Hotel deactivated all the non-hotel inputs to the %$^& TV. They just don't want you to have any entertainment unless you pay them for it... annoying! I guess no qually for me as I don't get home until Sat on 1700 central time. Say hello to the back of the grid...

what the heck. thats uncalled for.

Standard hotel crap... they want you to pay 7.99 an hour to play their video games through the tv system (usually a Nintendo 64). I can usually get around their system but this hotel had me locked out. stupid!

by Av8rTim Sun 18 Jul 2010 - 3:50

And it gets better every day... Just got a call from the job... I have to cover an uncovered flight so I just got @^#%#$ over for the race. I was OK with slow, I was OK with the back of the grid having missed qualifying... but now I miss the race too. I'll be back tomorrow night. I hope everyone has a great race and the event is a success! I can't begin to tell you how I feel. I hope to see you all online soon. Life of an airline pilot does have its drawbacks I guess... But I can't get down; I'll be back!

by **Radiation Louis** Sun 18 Jul 2010 - 4:46

tough break tim i know you were really looking foward to this but maybe next year man and dont forget there's a whole nother half of the LMS season

by Av8rTim Sun 18 Jul 2010 - 11:17

Thanks for the vote of confidence! You can bet I'm looking to salvage a frustrating first half of the season. 5:15 am. I'm already at work and wishing I could make the race. Hope everyone has angood run today.
