dede, notie that you still left "Bruinen track" name there on homepage instead of Veloccio for last race. That confused me to think you still didn't uploaded the last replay video.
Also, try to use www.turboslider.com to make a base for replay videos. It's kinda bad to use some external links for that, especially cause those videos aren't big.

My worst race ever. 
Damn, I ruined mine and Matic race totally just by one mistake (crash) in 2nd or 3rd lap. Sorry man.
I started better than any pro could probably.
I improved my position for about 4-5 places in just first lap. But after I crashed it all went wrong. I was confused whole race cause I couldn't decide what should be good to make things fair for Matic, but I couldn't find it. I just continued to drive hoping that Matic will catch me soon so I could let him pass. But that didn't happen.
Track was kinda good, but it didn't let fair play that easily. Kerbs had good dimensions, but really bad color. It felt like it's kinda transparent. That confused me in many narrow curves. It was hard to see where is the best place to brake especially if you consider my video settings.
All in all - pfff.
The only thing I managed to do well is fuel tanking. I went trough the finish line by 0%.

Well.. For me they were still wider than they appear to be, but I see your point. If it makes you happy I will tell you that I have the opposite problem on rest of F1 League tracks. I can't adapt my driving style to have almost half of car "outside" trackTijny wrote:Well, bad race by me, 4th was the best possible result. I just couldn't adapt my driving to the fact that the track & kerbs were actually much narrower than they appeared to be.
argh, what a crazy race...
came a bit unprepared for the race today..
warmup, i messed up to actually plan if i go for 1, 2 or 3 stopper..
prequali..
lol i won that with 8 laps with at least 1 mistake per lap, resulting in 8th fastest lap, 2 61.6-61.7s with 1 time going accidently offroad.
i actually planned to plan fuel strategy by checking "time wasted due to pits", but then i thought "lol, if i cant even drive a single mistakeless lap, im gonna have to pit at least twice anyway due to the amount of damage" and threw a possible 1-stopper over the board.
quali..
wasnt too satisfied with my lap, but 4th was still nice. had it with 67 percent already though, so..no improvement in lap 5 and 6 was a bit of a pity.
race..
lap 1:
- very fair pingu letting me go first into curve
- lanz drove offroad, me somewhat avoiding to collide ending up in missing the braking point, going wide next curve due to him...
- tijny gone offroad, let lanz pass fairly and uberfriendly me too (for some reason i wasnt sure if lanz car is lanz or tijny and for some reason i thought tijnys car is someone totally else..oh boy -.-)
in the heat of the moment i didnt realize if it was too friendly or not (because if, i might have just slowed down as well or so, saying "its okay")..but decided to keep on, because i wasnt sure enough
lap 8: in end of lap for some reason i felt like it was tijny, not lanz behind me, waiting for him to go into pits 1 lap earlier than me or not.
while i was still wondering if a 1 stopper isnt probably the better choice, i skipped my 8 8 9 stint plan, trying to drive at least 9 8 8 in order to maybe block tijny 1 more lap with higher fuel.
weird though it looked like tijny (actually lanz) drove into pits, but it was just a warp. kinda "wtf?"-like i watched his car, while taking too less eyes on mine lol - and crash XD
lap 9: lanz crashed, let me pass. 2 seconds lost.
lap 9: very good pit!
lap 10: came out of pits between etmil and tijny (while i was thinking these 2 cars were some players way behind me in battling for positions)
consequently, when overtaking etmil, i felt like it was a situation where he would give way on purpose - i gone too wide on accident :/ and even tijny passed me and i didnt realize i lost important positions..
lap 13: "disconnected?"-message killed around 6 seconds from tijny, while i was already thinking my race is over - a few more seconds and i would have hit escape and reconnect.
for some reason this happened twice in the race, couldnt find when though in replay. at the 2nd time i thought: okay, again half of the racers disconnected? kinda thinking i might have a huge lead now to those who crashed.
lap 17: lost ~0.7sec or so by driving too far in pits :E
lap 20ish: realized i had way too less fuel for the last 5ish laps :E
i remembered i drove in end of lap 10 with 33p fuel and end of lap 14 with 22p, so 11p for 4 laps i thought. in replay i see i brainfkd myself (it was end of lap 11, not 10)..sigh..that mistake cost me circa 10 seconds
lap 23: 3rd pit, still in 2nd place, i was kinda expecting to end up 3rd-6th place or something. so frustrated i looked at startstraight, who is passing, not looking at me...crashing...then driving too far in pits, then filling, stop filling by accident, filling again (costing around 2 sec). filling up to 12 percent, obviously way too much for 2 laps, but i just wanted to be on the safe side, not knowing what i had to fill exactly. so..another sec lost there...
finally lanz passed me, but my place still said 2nd place, so i was thinking he just unlapped himself. but lol, he actually just passed me.
maybe i played too much newstargp or so, thinking my position gets autoupdated during a lap -.-
lap 24 end: lanz gone offroad and all what i was thinking, was kinda: "hmm, please let me lap you and dont ruin my fastest-lap-try". if he wouldnt have gone offroad i was seriously considering letting myself fall back, get some space and wank that last lap, since 2nd place seemed to be sure.
lap 25 end: last curve driven over sand, ruining a nice lap, still ending up with a 60.778ish as fastestlapidiot^^
too bad, i actually had no bad pace going on there and could maybe hope for a serious 2nd place. the fact that tijny got disconnected (or maybe he didnt and just crashed somehow and got stuck or so??) made the 2nd place look like a random present.

good result but bad race! crashed a few times and made a lot of other small mistakes! i knew that tires would go down fast still i decided to go for a 1 stopper! worked only because of others failing! driving with 0% tires was kinda crazy! mike flew by! the track was really good, some great parts in it!
Wop! Excellent race by me, I found the right pace during the pre-qualifying session, so I had no troubles in quali too. I decided to push hard at the beginning and then check the situation around lap 8/9. When I saw that everybody went to pit and I had a good lead on them, I decided to try the 1-stopper. Driving the car with high tyre wear was nice, since I could go full speed through curves like if it was my beloved antislider.
Right before first stop I had some troubles with concentration, so Mike Nike gained first place after my pit. Concentration lowered even more when I noticed how big my lead was. But wop, wictory!

Quali hasn't gone too well for me this season and that was the case this time as well. Only 9th position..
Race was quite bad, especially the first laps where people were pushing and bumping and basically all over the place. Why do I get the feeling everyone outside top 10 or something keeps driving the same way in battles between 4-5 drivers as he would drive alone? I haven't watched the replay yet, but it was chaotic, for sure.. and I have to say at some point I just told myself 'f*** it!' and forgot everything about these 'rules'.
It didn't help that the track was narrow, too. Wokinger, with all due respect the layout was awesome but you gotta remember that there will be 20 drivers going into the 1st turn on lap 1 and they're all going to battle each other. The track HAS to be wider, especially now that I think the F1-Premium car looks bigger than it was last season? Also the kerbs.. a bit too narrow for my taste. I guess, if it helps, I can give my own standard measurements for F1 tracks that I use all the time:
tarmac: 66 px
track edge: 70 px
extra tarmac: 72 px
kerbs: 88 px
pit tarmac: 32 px
pit track edge: 36 px
pit extra tarmac: 38 px
Anyway, looking forward to racing again next week.

Oh ye btw I lost HEAPS of time during my first pitstop I wasnt getting fuel!!!! I guess thats what dede meant with learn the pitlane? I thought he meant that you had to drive it a couple of times since the entry or lane itself was harder than normal. (remember the track where everyone went offroad in pits xD) I thoguht he was refferring to that xd
@Mike, Lol yes mike i wanted to get you on inside first corner, but was to far away and if you are on insade you have to brake earlier, now i broke even more early to avoid them collisions
@Alfonso, your colors were same ? :p
@Mrtn after race, yes you defended me very hard, but i like it, i like good battling, sometimesh it is hard to balance good battling and being fair sometimes.

Here are my settings.
tarmac: 58px
tarmac + lines: 62px
tarmac + kerbs: 70px
Yes, you are right. I tested tiles in EL, but there were much less drivers. Tarmac is 8px narrower, but kerbs are 18px and that's what I will change. On next track I think of much wider kerbs outside corners. I have one more nice idea, but I need to test it before

few reviews.... Thats odd. Well i guess im just too much used to NSGP where almost all guys write them after the official races... 
Ok my small review:
Was quite confident for my second race of my career after having a satisfying 14th place on first race! But this feeling only lasted untill i saw the track where we were gonna race!!!
WTF! Only by looking was hard as $%! Loads of turns and walls making it extremely difficult to make a clean lap!PreQ started and i was making loads of errors....or making first half of the track great but on last turns hitting some stupid wall trowing the lap time to garbage or making a big mistake at the beginning and then, cause there was no pressure anymore, making a great 2nd half of the track!!
I think i only managed to make a good lap on last one. Anyway...got it to PRO race which was my goal.
Q, again was making big amount of errors and that put me on the back of the grid again. Forgot which position but i think it was 16th o 17th.
Race....
as i was trying (via MSN) to convince Przemator to return to server after a rage quit, i miissed the starting lights and lost between 5-10 seconds letting everyone passing me. Here goes my Q for nothing!Was still ok with that happening as what i need at the moment is making laps to get the hand of the car. Made only 2 stops but had a hard time to make them!!!
I did try them on the warm up as requested by DEDE or so. Worked fine but on the race i wasnt exactly centered on the pit and simply wasnt refuelling! One more time adjusting the car and finally it did work, but lost loads of time once again. 2nd pit stop, same history!!!
Now it wasnt fun, was irritating, loosing time for such a stupid thing.But in the end i have to be happy with my performance. It looks my position at the moment is 14th!!! Thats the place i got once again!
I wonder which position i wold get if these mistakes wouldnt have happened 11th!!?
Next weekend i'll be there i guess....enjoying this game alot, specially cause its hard to master. Gives some motivation to get better and when you do get a good result you get proud of yourself!!!
PS: A note i want to mention. I dont know if it was cause he had a lot of advantage to the other ones but i think its worth it to mention his fair play....DEDE was overlapping me and he indeed has done it. I thought right away "gonna go after him to try to learn how to do the turns and breaking points". Well, he made a mistake right after and i hitted him on the back i think. With no exitation he just let me pass in front and was like WTF!!! Why this He's overlapping me!
Then i just remember that PRO rules are in play and that was just a demonstration of pure fair play! Just stays teh question in the air if he would have made that if there was a guy glued to him on his back fighting for the win!

Yeah, this might a bit irritating for those who are used to "normal" pits. Please Wokinger, next track with normal pit area!Afinfas wrote: I did try them on the warm up as requested by DEDE or so.

Yes, I admit that I gave room just because I had a huge advantage on others. If I remember correctly, I had quite high tyre wear, so you were faster in straights. So I gave you a chance to stay in front, while I slowed a bit down to drive safer.Afinfas wrote:Well, he made a mistake right after and i hitted him on the back i think.

Usually giving way to lapped people isn't a good idea, although it might appear fair: you crash and block him, you give him way and some room, but you catch him again and he MUST give way again -> RESULT: he loses more time than just not giving way to him.
Well spotted!Pingu wrote: @Alfonso, your colors were same ? :p
Indeed i changed the colors. I had them for a long time but was kind of bored of it and wanted a new design for the relaunch of my TS driving career! Im on my favorite color, Green stripe with Black. Thers no problem in changing colors or we have to stick to the first one we use on the championship?
