SAR Karting

Nah, I've karted quite a bit in real life and this shit is harder, I'm not bouncing off every f*** wall in real life..

I ran a test server earlier and no one could race it properly.. I'm really unconvinced

We then ran with Whippe's cars, and it was total tough to pass.. so I think a compromise between the two is what you want. Sure, you wanna give people a challenge, thats great, but... Spinner is the most patetic slow car we ever saw, yet Dede is somehow f*** fast in it!

Help : if you get stuck in the pitbuilding at the start, just open the *.trk file in notepad and remove the following lines :
(you'll start on the grid instead)

Code: Select all

StartPoints 20

  Point 830 851 90 0

i did, so i got only the checksum problem...

so for fixed trackversion later no manual work and checksum probs will occur, i hope...
and well, car is too fast to have some proper racing on that track.
even hunting laprec doesnt seem to make much fun there

As i said, that track was glitched and not properly tested... I added those starting points last minutes to make you start from the pits to make it look like a test session. Tracks featuring in official events will be much better ;o)

Also the Yas Marina Circuit is not the place for exciting racing (even worse in it's shorter version). Check the comments of last november's AbuDhabi F1 race and you'll understand why.... (a chance Vettel blew up a tire or it would have been boring for 2 hours - please no comment about the fact he retired in lap 1 and we still had a boring race for 2 hours!) It was there for testing you skills between walls and very tight corners.

This is why i wanna remake a new version for the official race or perhaps change it for a different venue.

It's not the track that's the problem, the track is great, its the car.. track looks awesome, cant fault you on that. In fact theres nothing wrong with the track apart from possibly that the pitlane exit could be a little simplified for ts.. I hope you make some tracks for this years F1 League..

But honestly, its the car, like Mike said its hard to even wank a good lap, so imagine how it will race with 20 people.. chaos and roughness will be the result.

i gotta admit it was tested with only 6 players at once till now.... i think we should let the first races happen and see how it goes from there.

Thx for the comment about the track btw !

About F1 League : tell me what you need and i'll think of something !

I think records with this car shouldn't be about laptimes, but rather about the lowest number of crashes in one lap. My personal best is 7, pretty good I'd say!

Maybe its possible to do a better lap in reverse

@Tinjy : Keeping the kart on track is the very first step to be successful with this machine.

@Distordz : Welcome in ! Official signups will be this week and the first event date will be released soon as well !

Wow, this kart is erm......fast?! xD I hope the tracks are nice enough to run with the speed! Or i feel alot of crashes

S_Racer · Post by **S_Racer** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 1:07 pm

I fell crashes will happen but should reduce fast...

I'll hold a pre-championship race to make adjustments to the kart if needed and to test the server too!

Seriously, just slow it down and remove some bounce.. and it will be fine.
