Well here is the incident ... I think its more of an issue of people coming back onto the Track and straight back onto the Racing line when they aren't up to speed ... This happened not only in this race

Looking at the Video there was more than enough room for us both to get through the corner if you'd have stayed more to the right ?



On a lighter note, heres my Drift overtake of Shag !

In car - the only way to play with a steering wheel!! (and the reason why 3 screens was so essential!)

I did say I was on the left ...Ok I may have been a little late with the call, but the point I was getting at was you were coming back onto the track, You should be looking around to see if there were any other cars coming ...

This was the problem we had in the First race too ...

I know you didn't ask me, but personally, I use cockpit view ALWAYS - gives a better atmosphere and realistic feel to it :)

Oh and can anyone explain to me what happened last night in the first race; why we had to restart? :S Confusion!!

Yeah coming straight back on the the racing line after going off or running wide has caused quite a few smashes in previous races...

& first race yesterday was carnage, although could have been recovered with a safety car but I think saftey cars have been scrapped for the league & were only in the test weeks...

I did Daz, I looked around and saw Darce (I'm sure it was Darce), and made sure I wasn't anywhere near him.... you were completely in my blind spot!! With a wheel I can't "look around", so I came back on the track quite smoothly from the right (no sharp moves) until I thought it was safe and then was going to fight again into the next corner!! I didn't know you were there, and you said "on your left" at the same time as we touched??

Plus by then I wasn't far from being back up to speed again, so I'm not really sure I would have tried the same overtaking manouvre... especially since I had the racing line into the double right straight after?


I think the safety car idea is a great idea... just needs a set of guidelines on when we do it, and a set rule for when we say "go"!! Plus we'd all need voice working!!

Sorry Sniper, will have mic again next week, was in a bit of a dilemma last night, so was extremely lucky to be able to race the 4 races I did.

Also, who was it that barged me off the track at Sedona on the second to last lap?! They have some explaining to do!! :(

On a lighter note, the crash in the last race in the video above - is that why I was ridiculously far ahead?

Not really, even when I managed to sneak past Sniper and Shag, you were still pulling away slightly. Also, 1st post edited to include this weeks and overall results.

Methinks we're headin' for a row at the end of the season when the league winner is not the same as the race points winner. :D

Nice videos Daz - are they Forza uploads?
