I installed CCWS '06, practiced for the Open Wheel Championship race at Long Beach. Spun out a lot, wondered why we are using this mod for the championships but, okay, many participants run this mod also. Qualled horribly, raced even worse, GAVE UP and took the DNF. Uninstalled the mod. Comments Welcomed.....
Well XP took a dump on me this morning, and nothing I am aware of could get it going again. Getting lots of errors reinstalling so I think I am going to just finish this install, back up what I can from C drive and go buy Vista.
My XP is a corp version and Microsoft won't allow updates anymore. It is also pre SP2 but I have the SP2 file. Just not in the mood to screw with it anymore.
So needless to say, I had to back out of the 2 races I have scheduled for today.
Hopefully I will have all my racing stuff back up and running by the time my next event races.
1. Don't drive a car that is better than your abilities.
2. Don't re-enter the track in front of oncoming traffic.
3. Don't follow too close to someone you are not familiar with.
4. Don't try that pass in that corner that you have failed to make when doing it alone.
5. Don't continue an event if you have already had 10 unassisted off.
6. Don't continue an event just because there are still cars you have not run into.
7. Don't drive by pit in when you have sparks coming from the area your front wheel would usually sit.
8. Don't use the same brake mark that was 75 yards too far last lap.
9. Don't assume that because your car is faster that you can make that dive bomb work from 4 car lengths back.
10. Don't join that event if you cannot complete 15 consecutive laps without a spin or a crash.
For the most part this is meant to be funny, however [... more]
Pretty interesting that since GTR2's release when ever I try and run anything rFactor I feel even more lost than I used to. Last year I could pretty much drive comfortably in PRC and F3. I didn't drive rF at all for about 4-5 months and now I feel almost totally lost. I did a PRC race and have tried some GP79 and F3 testing and really cannot find a comfort zone. The rear tires are cooking in PRC of course that is because I cannot seem to keep the rear planted.
Last night I got so frustrated lapping Montreal in PRC that I am real close to just retiring the game altogether. Combine that with the fact that the Thursday night PRC series had 8 drivers the first week and only 12 signed up this week and well, I just don't see the point anymore.
Give me another GTR2 series with 20+ drivers and cars that are adjustable :P
Anyone every heard of this artist? I was watching Deadliest Catch and they closed with "Rain". It really got my attention so I did a little search and found John's space. Has a few of his songs posted so I launched the player and started playing a little Freecell, next thing I knew I had listened to the songs posted about 5-6 times each...pretty good stuff if anyone is interested.

GTNDC-R2P Mixed GT
This is a credit based system similar to that used by GTL with a twist. We would use GT cars for 6 events, G2 cars for 2 events and NGT cars for 2 events, a total of 10 events. We would also use some add-on tracks to make things a bit more interesting.
40% races with 2X wear and 2X fuel
starting amount of credits 55
miss a race you get 4 credits deducted so you can’t save up by not running, likewise if u have a car over 4 credits and do not make it you only loose 4 credits, and in a lower credit car you only loose the credits that car is worth and not 4 credits
if you enter a race with a car lower than 4 credits but fail to start the race due to disco it does not count as not having made that round, so you would lose max 4 credits
if you start a race with a car that cost more cr [... more]
I am considering putting together a independent GTR2 series for those of us that WANT more GTR2. This would be a series running 60-90 minute races either mixed or single class, depending on what replies I get. Also the time slot will be determined by what replies I get, so it is important that if you are interested PLEASE post something.
I am open to suggestions but would like these primary questions answered in your reply.
Race Day of Week:
Time of Day (PST):
Class Choice:
I welcome any format suggestions as well.
I was scrolling through the GT Open standings and noticed Mr Stibling missing in action. After further investigation it appears Jeff has all but abandoned GTR2 :( Still active racing but thats a bummer Jeff, I always enjoyed our battles together, guess there won't be many more of those since I have all but abandoned rF.
Well at least until I get back from Phoenix on the 14th :P
