V8 Supercar Spec Series Discussion

Sorry Stax, I haven't been on my own XBox all week. Work and stuff...

its cool bro, i just want something i can put my number on before the race tonight.

Just painted the car, looking great

It may be last minute, but I'll send you what I have when I get on. Most likely about 20-30 mins before race time.

By the way.... you know you've been targeted by North Korea right?

ill look you up, dewey. and about them north koreans.... they're eating grass and [Censored] still, right?

I may not be able to run my number tonight as I am on a different Xbox and I'm not to sure if I can get my actual car or not.

I know TORA dont like chrome wheels but chrome in the paint surely this shouldnt be aloud lol

oh and sorry to say not gonna doing this series

But, it won't be the same without you, Wingnut.

[censored] GARBAGE!!!

back half of the field has no [censored] spacial awareness. Brakes suck, cornering sucks, car sucks.

...may need a new controller after tonight

Mark & Chaddy definitely got screwed over in the final race. Although, I had a relatively trouble free couple of races.

Sick of leaving people space on the exit of turns then getting spat off.

Race 1 was really good fun, what a start! Next round is looking good for me already

Gutted that I couldn't connect to the lobby.

Hopefully make it to the oval race at Indy!

I am very sorry for the shot I gave you. I had been braking just beyond the 100 sign, short braked that lap before the 100 sign, just in case... I was not expecting everyone to be stopped when I got there.

After that incident, as well as the three tries it took to get R1 off cleanly, I am thinking about "Cosmetic Damage" for the rest of the series.

I think the lag has much to do with the International nature of the series, which Cosmetic Damage at least gets rid of the damage from lag-related wrecks, as well as the damage from a simple mistake.

So, unless enough people are against it, this is the direction I am going to go.

your shunt Mikey was pertty much the straw that broke the camel's back. during one for the attempts for R1, a certain driver who started last managed to shoot all the way up 7th/8th (wherever i started) to turn 1, but i still get clocked in the right side doors into Turn 1, and carnage continued under the Oval-overpass. Trying to gain that many positions that quick aint going to win any friends/races. in the 2nd race, got shoved off and into the retaining wall not long prior to the shunt Mikey, by the same driver, i might add. As a Staff'er, i feel i need to keep a calmer head about me, so i wont say anymore than that.

But, definitely not a happy camper. but the one positive, my controller aint broken.

i saved the replay from R1 if anyone needs it. From where i was at the racing was clean and tight. very exciting stuff! see yall next week

I suffered lots of damage way too early in both races. I was struggling so much in R1 that I decided to take the bathroom break that got preempted by some serious conn issues.

Somehow I forgot invite only and apparently we had a bottleneck getting into the race lobby.

Sorry for all the delays, hoping next round goes more smoothly for all involved.

well i thought it was a good show for the first shot.

You had a really good debut in the series. From the back to 6th and then a 4th? Good job Staxx.

Gotta send props to Venom, as his sweep was quite impressive

thnx man. just had a clean race got out front n just pushed the car to the limit n it took off.

yeah, well done venom, and i was pushing pretty hard and trying to be clean. hopefully i can get on the level with the ford. i cant wait for more door to door action!!!!!!

Gutted I cant do a SI for this, the rear wing in the mirror put me right off at the start and lost some positions with a mistake. Felt I got Cain with a really good move in turn 1 then two turns later I'm hit off track.

The battle with Tubbi in race one was really clean and great fun, think it was half a lap side by side. After that incident in race 2, it was actually really hard to come back up the field, took quite a bit of time to past the 3 cars I did in the last 5/6 laps.

I did my best to not leave you an inch Franchitti when you were coming back up in race two.
I think we had a firm but fair battle for a coupla laps




Had fun Mikey thank you, and to all the racers.
Agree totally that some were taking silly risks at the start and glad for cosmetic damage moving on.

Also had a great tussle with broom around indy swapping places for four laps

I got pretty much wrecked by the guys in the Spanish club, both restarts I got forced off and slammed by at least one of them, and the second time was just "wack..wack..WACK" before we even got out of the first section, I left loads of room but obviously never enough it seems if you can't communicate with another driver, and even worse when they come 4 wheels off track then dive infront of you again.

Not your fault at all Mikey, just annoyed is all.

Now in a way looking at the reports i am glad i didnt take part because for it being so late i would have ranted too much now im not sure where it stands with si because this is still an event on tora so if mikey would like an independant veiw then im here as not gonna race the V8's
