.....and that's my fault Sad

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 12:24

Not your fault Matt as we restarted the first race it was the start timer over the start finish line to start the race after the formation lap which ran fine.

Have we given up with an "aim time" for the start line now?

No worries mate. I know you didn't mean to do that intentionally. It was very clean up to that point! Besides, I already knew when I was behind you on the circuit the team tactics you were trying! "COUGH" PEUGEOT "COUGH" Razz

Awesome racing yesterday. This was my first TORA ISCC and I had a blast.

Not sure about the scoring or where I finished ( I'll check the results ), but it was great racing and great fun. Only distraction was some blokes wife ??.

Love the multi class racing !!!!.

First time running the wheel in anger, I had tested most of Sunday to try and comfortable, ran a 55 in Qualy which was about 3 seconds quicker than I had done all weekend.
Start required me to run with the outside cam to avoid contact with anyone while I got used to close proximity racing. Fumbled the buttons into turn 1 making me run wide a bit but nothing serious. Taking the Schumacher S for the first time and car went wide, span it and possibly collected a GT2. If I did, apologies.
Aware of some people bitching about my driving in the race, was fighting heavily damaged aero and trying to drive around it whilst learning the wheel was painful. Though about dropping out but wanted to complete the race if for nothing else but get some good time running with the wheel.
Sadly with the amount of damage I carried it was harder to get a genuine fix on how I was doing.
Just tried to stay out of people's way and finish the race.

I would not worry about it too much. I do not think anyone was really bitching about your driving. Everybody has had that happen to them, you were just unlucky to have it happen on the first lap. If anything, you deserve some credit for putting up with it the entire race.

Being the second car behind you, I had a pretty good view of your yard sale on the Schumacher S. You seemed to come off the curb funny and spun it. In the process you had collided with nickyf1 who was right in front of me. I still cannot believe I made it through unscathed, along with GLR asteroid right behind me.

by GLR Asteroid Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 17:22

Yes.....I remeber that. All of a sudden there was this Pink and Blue LMPC car flying straight at me, caught my tail end, but just a nudge. No damage done. Phew, just got through.

You did seem to have some lag issues on Sunday. On more than one occassion I slowed down behind you, as your car was hopping down the track, with smoke billowing from the engine. That's not your driving, so stick at it.

by Wooflers Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 18:09

Kudos to Matt for sticking with it though, I would have given up most probably!

this race going to appear on TORA TV? all i can see on there is loads of vids of a lotus going around the track.

Got a good thing there shame its being neglected!

by **Richy59** Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 20:35

TORA TV is defintely not being neglected, we just didn't have a great race for Meeting 1 in the GTs for Lobby A and the ISCC is quite difficult to do a review for, due to the nature of the game cutting off the replays.

We will be looking to do something for the ISCC on TORA TV in the near future.

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 21:15

The video with the lotus was simon testing other file formats

by JustOZ71 Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 22:01

ok i stand corrected

by MOPAR001 Mon 16 Jan 2012 - 23:21

Had a good time during the race. Love driving that LMPC and having to pass and get passed is always fun. Except for Dan trying to pass me as I was passing 2 other GT cars the race went drama free as well.

Hopefully you can make qualifying next race Rice, would love to race against you again.

I think I know what you was referring to. Can't remember 100% exactly.
I thought there was enough room to go three wide on the straight to lap you and the other GT car, but thankfully I was wise enough to not try it and lift off the throttle. If it caused you any distress, I apologise and I give you my assurance that I did my upmost to make sure there wasn't gonna be a collision or an accident.

That was a great mini review Richard on facebook! Wink

by **Richy59** Tue 17 Jan 2012 - 14:33

I remember that as it was pretty scary stuff. I was right on Cody's bumper going doww the straight at 150+ with an LMPC car trying to pass us with and Aston Martin trying to pass him! Could have ended in one hell of a mess, tankfully it didn't and we all managed to navigate around each other Very Happy

by Wooflers Tue 17 Jan 2012 - 22:44

I think I'm going to record my races via tripod/camera and make highlights on my YT channel. GT & ISCC.

You did fine, Matt. We all knew that you were having technical difficulties.

by IRT YT RICE Wed 18 Jan 2012 - 20:27

BTW, you guys can all send hatemail to: GTP Mixed Stig for showing up at my house unannounced and pissing the dog off. Then more hatemail to TurtleBeach for their mic that pics up everything and is difficult to mute while driving. lol

by GLR Asteroid Thu 19 Jan 2012 - 15:18

Yeah.......likely story. Just don't upset your wife this Sunday... LMAO !! Laughing
