I wouldn't protest it even if it was totally clearcut. I mostly just wanted to make sure I'm not in the wrong here so that I don't violate etiquette in the future. If anyone is curious, here is the replay: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tj4gv79nsr43vcp/subses11439680.rpy Wreck in question is on Lap 18. It might be fun to watch just because it's a drat bloodbath. There's a pileup (which our antagonist was critical to) behind the god dmaned pace car before the green flag even comes out. Look at the results: http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=11439680&custid=161212 Anyway, thanks for the input. Just trying to turn every infuriating wreck into a learning opportunity.

I got protested by one dude because I "ran bellow the white line and you can't do that and also I can't drive because I'm Asian and I don't own a car and don't race in trucks because I ruin it for the people who actually wan to race." Of course I was the guy with the blue stripes on my bumper but  edit: Obviously nothing came of it.

If you run below the white line going into a corner (aka Charlotte) and inevitably take out someone in the corner because you can't hold it below the line (it's impossible I know), that's not right. I was taken out during Star Mazda oval week at Charlotte by someone doing that. I was leading the race and some idiot thought he could pass me below the white line and I'd just give him room in the corner to pass me  izagoof posted:Just fired iRacing up after a long hiatus and the Skip Barber is actually saveable now I haven't tried the Skippy since the update but I'm sure it's a lot more fun now. I guess the new update makes most of the cars easier to drive without wrecking.

Slickdrac posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS0DWGJi_vU Absolutely correct. If you're being blocked onto the apron, go for it. In my case SM:Charlotte as NASCAR:Daytona in terms of being flat out the whole way around. You just hug the white line the whole way though and nobody can pass you without help or passing below the white line I should make a YouTube video of what not to do out of it.

So is Gooncar dead? That's what people in the chat said at least a few days ago. Anyone who feels like starting it up again? Preferably with race times friendlier to euro goons.

I'll fund another season of it, but I'd rather make it a public league for more participation. Maybe we could have a couple different races/seasons, to accommodate as many people as possible.

Everyone owes it to themselves to try the Spec Racer Ford since the update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXqrwgam7NM My old setups worked OK with some slight tire pressure adjustments and changing the rear ARB to medium instead of stiff. I'm now undecided on running indy road vs. SRF for my road racing fix next season.

Backfires look pretty good at night: Though if we want to get  about it, I don't remember the DW12 ever popping like that.Also, the new Phoenix track with the DW12 is going to cause so many grown adults to get angry. Turn 3 can be taken flat out below the yellow line without a black flag. Bentai fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jul 28, 2014 |

No it wasn't that, an old timer ran over me on the front straight and then claimed "I was below the white line" or something. And I was like "Yes I was, because when I saw you were going to hit me I had to get out of the way, but you still hit me!" and then he was like "cornsarnit dang nabbit you you can't go beneath the cotton' pickin' white line" or whatever. It was one of those crazies you get in bottom split trucks when there are only two splits and you get lumped in with the weirdos.

Torabi posted:Was about to have my first good road race. Then this happened. Ugh, yes that is a total dick move. I assume this was in Road Rookies? I want to start moving up that badge next season (tomorrow, basically) and I dread Road Rookies which seem even worse than Oval Rookies. Someone please tell me I'm wrong. I have a 2.71 SR in Oval and with a small amount of effort I could probably push it over 3.0, but I'm going to go easy. Seems like a good way to gently caress it up. Speaking of that, I have a question. I was looking over the schedule for Season 3 and I see a lot of requirements are like "Rookie 3.0" or "Rookie 4.0". This in essence is the SR for the Rookie badge or a higher badge minus the major SR point, right? So like Rookie 3.0 is basically D-Class 2.0, and Rookie 4.0 is D-Class 3.0 AND C-Class 2.0, right? I'm asking because my plan is to skip going up a badge today and get to Rookie 3.0 so I can race Legends. Am I right that I can do that? I also want to race the Skippy at Rookie 4.0 Road, which means I'll basically be auto-upgraded to D-Class 3.0 at that point, right? Am I right that I can do these things?

That was from a week 13 mazda cup. I can't wait for week 13 to end. Also, I'm wondering about the requirements too. Since there is no real "Rookie 4.0" since after 3.0 you get your D License. I really want to get a skip barber car too. They seem really fun.

Im gonna take a minute here to be that guy, but since its the 13th week I thought Id take a legends car around leguna seca. I mostly tried to take it easy, but I was being stubborn here and didn't want to lift. I bet I made those miatas pretty nervous, though I was cracking up as it happened. As you can see I desperately need a wheel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vId0jy_048U

Basically at 4.0+ you can race one class higher. Normally you would be promoted at that point; only reason you wouldn't is if you haven't completed the MPR. But you can complete the MPR by "racing up" into the next class. In general it would allow you to skip past one class if you really didn't want to buy a car for it. eg you could race the Skip (D class) until you hit C 4.0 and then start racing B class and never buy any C class cars.

The second one I posted was probably just the guy being stupid. But the first one really did ruin my race. Not sure if it was intentional or not. Don't really feel like being "that" guy who protests everybody who does something wrong but it did feel pretty deliberate seeing as how the spotter must have told him repeatedly "car on the right".

Also, since it seems like there are lot of goon rookies, we should all friend each other and race these terrible rookie classes together. We can do some

Yea, we need to do a "friend list" thing, if you hop in IRC its a lot easier. I'm running the Skippy, maybe the CTS, and MAYBE the SRF in D road. I'm rookie in oval atm so we'll see where that gets me.  I made a video of the good side of the rookie road series. This is in the last of week 13 rookie road races (the last one before servers went down). I started 14th ended up 2nd. The battle was between me and another D-class guy but it was really tight until he hosed up. Also, all contacts were 0x so good clean racing. Here is the youtube video and here is the replay. PS: sorry about the flashing at the start of the youtube video. Vegas decided to be a dumb-dumb during rendering and I wasn't going to spend another hour rendering that POS.

So I don't have any oval series that I can play that will count towards promotion right now. There are a ton of different oval race things that I can get into if I buy the track and car but I have no idea what to get. I have a D license in oval. Annoying that it just lists everything as ineligible instead of showing what I can drive if I own the content.

You can then click the + by the series name and it will open up the schedule and how much content of the schedule you own. It's also possible to stay in rookies until D4.0 and jumping straight to a C series.

You can race Advanced Legends with Rookie 3.0, which is exactly what I plan on doing after a modest number of Street Stock races. I don't know why, but I really dig those Legends cars. Figure it'll be a good intro into setups, too.

My first DW12 race last night at Michigan.  Less than 0.05s behind 2nd too. This car loving owns. I got new tires on lap 20 (restart was at lap 24). The new tire degradation I think definitely played a role here.

drat it, I really want to try this.. Hard to justify spending at least 100€ for a wheel though. How bad exactly are the really cheap ones (~40€)? I don't think I'd have much fun with my xbox controller, and I'm afraid I'll drop the 250 bucks for a G27 otherwise which would definitely not be worth it since I don't have that much time for it anyway.
