| What a crazy race! Started in the back because I was very late to the server. Worked my way through the field and up to 2nd, but ran over some debris and cut my left front tire. I wish the rFactor would throw yellows for debris all over the track. I brushed the wall after the cut and damaged the right front tire, but luckily only lost 1 lap while in the pits. I tried to work my way through the field again to unlap myself. I got my lap back after most of the leaders pitted and after another yellow. I worked my way through the field for a 3rd time, but with less and less cars after each yellow.
That was me on the inside of you, Jacob. I was trying to slow down, but we still touched wheel. Sorry you had worse damage. My right front got even more damage and the steering wheel was to the right more as well. But it was still drivable. Austin ran into trouble and Kevin and I battled. Sorry for pushing you into turn 1, Kevin. Very good save! It was yellow free until nearly the end. I stayed out as long as I could and only had to put about 2/3 of a tank in at my last stop. I was Kevin's car smoking and it finally blew up with less than 10 to go. I was a lap ahead of everyone, so I stayed out and didn't pit in order to stay in front on the restart. I just had to hold on and did to take the checkered flag.
3 for 3! Looking forward to Long Beach. |

| The evening didn't start well. The game crashed during qualifying and I was moved back to 26th instead of 10-12th where I was supposed to start from. The failed start nearly caused me a heart attack... But after the restart I had a blast. That was some great racing! Unlike in Homestead, my car was really fast and nice to drive. Thank you for the setup, Alberto! I was moving up the field and after some 30 laps I found myself on 3rd position which is something I really didn't expect. Unfortunately, after another restart I exited T4 and became another victim of the inside wall. I'm a little disappointed, but at least this was a huge step up after Homestead, where I felt completely hopeless. Things should get only better from now on :-) | |

| Steady race for me,kept out of trouble and no damage to the car,although i was in 4th at one stage when a yellow was thrown Richard coxon and everybody slowed except 4 people who flew past us UNDER YELLOW,so i then ended up 8th,this was lap 88 and rfactor did not correct the positions so this rule(From the time this Yellow Flag is thrown, overtaking is forbidden)was ignored,then to top that on green flag restart i got a stop n go for passing car infront before the line because they slowed down just before line,but apart from that i had trouble free run.

| Pour la qualif, je restais sur le souvenir de la première course sur ovale de Homesteed où j'avais fait un tour de moins (mon compteur affichait alors 3/4 sur la liste à la fin des qualifications...). Je pensais donc faire une boucle de plus cette fois-çi... Je fus DQ (et déçu aussi )... Peu importe j'aurais pris le départ dans les deux dernières lignes, même avec une qualif effectuée normalement... Mon seul but en course était de durer n'ayant pas assez de vitesse pour rivaliser avec qui que ce soit. Après bien des difficultés pour effectuer un stop and go, puis un drive throug (en raison des drapeaux jaune qui s'enchaînaient), je me retrouve vers le 120ème tour, en 11ème position sans dégâts sur ma voiture. Autant dire inespéré pour moi... C'est à ce moment-là que Austin, qui est en tête de la course, arrive derrière-moi... Drapeau bleu, je laisse l'intérieur de la piste, mais Austin reste près du mur extérieur... Alors je m'écarte vers l'intérieur pour le laisser passer, mais je ne le vois pas me dépasser, le virage arrive, je ne le vois toujours pas... Au milieu du virage on s'accroche malheureusement. Les deux voitures sont cassées, mais c'est plus embêtant pour lui que pour moi... On ne s'est pas compris, j'en suis désolé pour lui (sorry Austin!). Y-a-t-il une régle différente sur ovale pour laisser passer, il me semble que laisser l'intérieur est préférable, car en laissant libre l'extérieur il faut que le lappé ralentisse beaucoup pour laisser la trajectoire au lappeur... et comme cela va très vite on risque de se retrouver au même niveau dans le virage, ce qui risque de mal se terminer, comme cela a été le cas pour moi et Austin... et si l'on ralenti brutalement, on devient dangereux pour d'autres voitures de derrière s'il y en a... | |

| un petit bilan des neutralisations. L1 : Crash de Raul L11 : Crash de Mario (T4) L20 : Crash de Mike (T4) L33 : Crash de Roberto (T4) L46 : Crash de Ben. L59 : Crash de Petr (T4) L70 : Crash de James L76 : Crash de Greg L83 : Crash de Stephan (T4) L86 : Crash de Claudio, Lee et Yves au restart L93 : Une roue folle sur la piste L102 : Crash de Karel (T4) L107 : Crash d'Alberto (back straight) L195 : Panne moteur pour Kevin Bon voilà, pour finir dans les points, il suffisait d'avoir une voiture qui sortait bien du T4. A noter aussi qu'à la mi-course, il manquait la moitié du plateau | |

L1 : Crash de Raul
Putting salt to my open wound??? Heh?? It was not a crash, it was car ECU Win blue screen on my dashboard Unfortunately, those cars are not equiped with Ctrl+Alt+Del Anyway, reading all this situations, maybe an internal regulation should be brought to daylight, and that is that right upon the yellow flag is being shown, we must slow down to PIT speed limit with PIT limiter, and maybe all of those rear end hits would be avoided... There are some drivers that are overtaking right after yellows are shown, and, even sometimes situation is such that that cant be avoided (for example if in a middle of a position battle), some of those are using other drivers slowing down to gain few positions.. | |

Punaise c'est pas glorieux les gars. Et puis quand je lis les résumés on dirait que les tours sous yellow sont limites aussi dangereux que les tours sous green, ça fait peur ... Ca demande juste un minimum de concentration et de bon sens les yellow.

| Y'en a qui vont prendre une tong dans la tronche si vous continuez à énerver Gui comme ça ! Plus sérieusement je suis d'accord avec lui, surtout au niveau des incidents sous yellow... L'inexpérience et/ou les particularités de certains ovales peuvent sûrement en partie expliquer (sans pour autant les excuser) certains de ces incidents, mais bon comme de par hasard en lisant les résumés de course de Homestead, Vancouver et Motegi on retrouve souvent impliqués dans ces incidents des pilotes dont on sait qu'ils n'ont pas toujours un comportement irréprochable en piste, ovales ou pas... Si ça continue, il faudra que ça cesse. | |

| C'est pas un problème d'ovale, puisque c'était le bazar à Vancouver, et vu la tronche du prochain circuit, ca sera pas mieux. Le problème, c'est que certains pilotent comme en Touring Cars, mais sur ovale avec des monoplaces, forcément ca pose problème. | |

- Alberto what situation it was? I had some problem with third car, similar situation, cut donw into apex of turn 4 and shaved from ouside or something like that...cant remember if it was that situation...
At lap 98 I was royally blocked at turn 3, so at lap 99 I stood on the outside to pass there. The blocking was so bad that he crossed in front of me and hit you (You were on my left), then he bounced to the right at turn exit and almost collected me (I was about to pass on the outside) forcing me to take evasive maneuver and glance the wall, bending my right rear suspension. That caused my spin at the backstraight after the race was restarted, as the car became uncontrollable. Two cars effectively taken out in a single turn Anyway race is over and no sense getting again over it except for the lesson to be learned. If this serves to do it better next time, I consider the incident at least useful for something and not as bad. See you at Long Beach | |

| ok, Greg Peut-être est-ce parce que je suis passé sur la ligne avant tu ne sortes de la pitlane que rfactor a considéré que je devais passer devant ? Par contre, je n'ai pas du tout compris ta manoeuvre pour me refaire passer devant. et surpris par le fait que tu n'aies pas longé le mur jusqu'au ligne droite opposée pour revenir en piste. | |

Je n avais aucun souvenir de sortir des stands a ce moment la Yves . Je viens donc de visualiser le replay et je confirme bien que je ne sortais pas des stands ce tour la , de plus au vu du replay je ne comprends pas pourquoi tu me doubles sous safety car et drapeau jaune ? tu arrives a vitesse constante et tu me passes ..... apres au vu du replay je commets une énorme erreur en voulant te laisser repasser je soulage l accél a l abord du V3 et voulant te laisser la voie libre sur tout l inter je mets un coup de volant vers la droite pour te laisser passer mais c est exactement a ce moment la que toi tu accéleres pour me passer par la droite donc enorme boulette de ma part et désolé pour celle ci mais je ne comprends toujours pas pourquoi a l origine de l action tu as voulu me dépasser alors que nous etions sous safety car . a moins que le mod et le reglement autorise un lappage sous drapeau jaune et safety car ???? | |

Ca demande juste un minimum de concentration et de bon sens les yellow. I think one issue with the yelllows is damned rFactor warning you "You are driving too slow"... Is there a way in multiplayer file to turn off this warning, as well as any penalties associated with driving too slowly during the yellow? | |

That will only happen if you still havent crossed the start/finish line and reduce speed. Once the Sc is on track, everybody IN FRONT if it but BEFORE the start line must still race to the line -up from then you would get the message "You are too far away from the car you should be following" What makes things confusing is that when a yellow is thrown you get from the spotter the message "Back it down" when you really shouldnt do that at all if you have not yet crossed the start/finish line. But as I could notice, some people actually do it and others dont, so confusing ensues and you get passed by speeding people who eventually are not being taken into account by the game when freezing the order (As Steve pointed out) because maybe the game is expecting you to race to the line or gets confused about it. So as a rule, drive at normal racing speeds till you cross the line and then you can back it down (but not become a sitting duck) watching in the HUD where the SC and the pack are. | |

Bah, c'est bizarre, je m'appliquais juste à suivre celui que rfactor m'indiquait à ce moment (Claudio, me semble t-il) sans que le jeu tienne compte de toi, comme si tu étais invisible pour lui. Je vais regarder le replay comme toi parce que là, je ne comprend plus rien du tout ! | |
