Haha!
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|buzinator on August 04, 2009, 09:37:16 AM lol, yh, not much.
you'll have to waste so much time, just learning the track first. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: Cawdor on August 04, 2009, 10:46:31 AM Haven't had the chance to get some laps in, but I can already tell some 'trouble' areas I will be facing possibly in the near future... :D :D Hope my crew's got that front wing locked on reeaaaal tight!
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on August 04, 2009, 11:41:36 AM that track layout kind of looks like a rabbit ;)
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|buzinator on August 04, 2009, 12:44:07 PM yh, one that was walking upright and tripped over ... didn't hit the ground yet ... lol ... about to face-plant.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on August 04, 2009, 12:45:23 PM lol
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|ChITty on August 05, 2009, 08:04:11 AM That's a top flight track Lumacor, I'm seriously impressed. Lots of fun too! I particularly like the Stewart - Deletraz chicane complex.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on August 05, 2009, 08:23:40 AM I would agree its a very good track
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: Cawdor on August 05, 2009, 12:25:19 PM Thank you all for allowing me to participate in the TotW event, I saw a few of you last night and boy do I got some work to do, haha. Chitty and Buz were untouchable for the most part, but I did enjoy myself duking it out with Bretware (sp?) for most of the session. Not quite sure if it's my equipment or just my understanding of the course.... struggling really bad in the final sector, not just in a specific area either... basically the entire sector, lol.
I'm not too experienced with the game, but if this track was made from scratch then I am very impressed..... Not a huge fan of the patches, but I'm certain that's just the actual layout of the course itself. Excellent work... Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|buzinator on August 05, 2009, 01:32:16 PM It was good to see you online Cawdor - I leave the server up so you're welcome to hop on and practice any time. If you set a hot lap post back here and attach the replay VCR file :)
(sometimes, during non-peak-racing hours I run some torrents though, so it might not always have good ping) Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|ChITty on August 05, 2009, 08:37:33 PM Cawdor you were putting up shockingly fast times considering you are using a keyboard. I can't even imagine trying to play this game with a keyboard, intense! 8)
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: Cawdor on August 05, 2009, 09:25:16 PM I may go run some practice here before heading off for some well deserved shut eye, but I am not what you would consider a computer literate individual.... If you want a hotlap of mine, I will be more than happy to supply one... but I would probably need to be walked through the steps via some sort of communication tool. It's just that hard for me, haha.....
Thanks, lots of practice on another game called TrackMania United Forever. Not so bad once you learn the ropes of what to expect when your pressing keys to turn a car, but it is really bad when things don't go according to plan and you're forced to try and "improvise" to save the car. :D :D Hope to catch ya'll again soon! Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on August 05, 2009, 09:57:24 PM Track Mania Rocks!!
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: Cawdor on August 05, 2009, 11:44:03 PM Considering the gameplay and the fact the game is pretty much free....... One of the best imo... Played it mostly til I took the plunge with GTRe... I enjoy the more in depth part of this game. Setups, and not to mention the fact that ghosting through someone doesn't exist on track haha. So common sense is needed which I think is what everyone looks for in their opponents on the track.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|Kalian on August 06, 2009, 07:10:56 PM I was right there with you Caw, till these jackals got me to try a wheel and got me hooked, like a drug dealer at grade school.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on August 09, 2009, 01:35:21 PM my fast lap 1:29.305
im sure some one can do better Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: Cawdor on August 09, 2009, 02:24:06 PM Saved a replay of a 1:27.3 just didn't really understand how to attach it here though, lol :)
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|Lumacor on August 09, 2009, 04:21:10 PM Okay, let's turn up the heat a little bit.
1.23.909 - but room for improvement I feel. Grip is important here. I think Aero perhaps moreso than Mechanical with the f3000s. How are you guys setting your car up? (I think it's likely that you could all get within 1 second of that time, some will probably beat it... Chitty? ;), but in the unlikely event that nobody gets within a second, I would like to withdraw my lap.) Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|mrkavanagh on August 09, 2009, 05:43:39 PM Okay, let's turn up the heat a little bit. 1.23.909 - but room for improvement I feel.

Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|Lumacor on August 09, 2009, 05:58:41 PM I'm literally going to bed in a sec. But I'd suggest trying a setup similar to perhaps Monaco or Laguna Seca. Somewhere between the two, just tweak to suit.

Perhaps a old school pong controller is the future of racing games... Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|ChITty on August 10, 2009, 05:55:27 PM 1:25.127
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|ChITty on August 12, 2009, 08:41:38 AM Why the question mark on the side? Yeah Lumacor's lap was clean.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|buzinator on August 12, 2009, 11:20:55 AM he had mentioned something about withdrawing his entry.
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|Lumacor on August 12, 2009, 02:57:22 PM My offer still stands. I know Bloxham Park too well, and it is quite new to you all. I'm surprised that nobody got within 1 sec (although Chitty got close.)
Next season, if it is raced on / totw I won't make the same offer again ;) Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|ChITty on August 12, 2009, 03:19:44 PM But this was your first sweep week (TotW, Pole, Fast Lap, Win)!
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|Lumacor on August 12, 2009, 03:30:54 PM Ok then! I'll take it, seeing as you're the one who would otherwise benefit ;)
Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|ChITty on August 13, 2009, 12:48:31 AM Buz, your best was 1:27.3 and Bretware set a 1:28.379.
The videos are uploading as I type this. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|buzinator on August 13, 2009, 06:08:56 AM hmmmm, wonder what track i got 1:26.601 on then. lol.
oh well, doesn't change the points anyway.

This is what happens when I post at 1:48am. You got a 1:25.454. Cawdor had the 1:27.3... ugh. Title: Re: Track of the Week - Round 10 - Bloxham GP v0.95 Post by: rip|buzinator on August 13, 2009, 08:05:20 AM ok.
maybe i was confused with monaco or something anyway. |
