ICS: Texas

WOW...It was fun, but this could have been even much better if:

1) More entries, 9 just doesn't feel like a race, but more like a fun-run...
2) When you request a pitstop and message says: "Crew ready for pitstop", I expect for them to fuel my car and I expect the HUD to actually read what its supposed to read, then I go out and half a lap later the HUD shows nada...WTF!!! So, I was leading the race, I was actually faster even after FZ lost it and I hit the wall trying to avoid his car than went up the wall and collected me, then we pitted fixed the car and on a gain, we actually came right before the leaders crossed the S/F line...Phew!!! :D

So to the charge again, then laps later I decided to tuck behind FZ to save fuel, we switched back and forth for several laps until I just stayed behind, thatt's when I decided to change my strategy when I thought yellows were going to be less, so by doing this I saved fuel and I entered the pits 6 laps later than Francesco and in the lead, then this issue with rFactor...It has happened to me twice in 1 year, where the crew is ready and getting to the pits and they do nothing but scratch their heads...
3) If the admin is other than a driver, don't get me wrong JR did an excellent job, props to him ;)!, but I think it takes away concentration for a driver/admin during race.

I was going to be a regular, but not anymore, this pit issue is unacceptable...

Congrats to whoever finishes the race in 1st. place! Nice job all, this was a fun track!

Cheers!

The pit issue is an issue with rFactor...not the mod or the track. It happens at least once a race.

Normally I am not the admin, but this time it was needed. As far as only 9 people, we are all astounded by that fact as well and don't understand it. It most likely is because of people being "burned out" with this mod's constant updates and quirkyness about some issues.

Great race and congrats to David.
Omar, the issue with the pitstop cost me dearly in Chicagoland, and it has has to do with how you enter the pits: if you don't enter them cleanly (for example one or more wheels on the grass and depending on severity) the crew thinks you are not in the pits and thus they look like they are on strike.
Sorry about our little crash, JR had a moment on the apron and I had nowhere to go. The great thing about this mod and racing is that when you *think* you are the fastest and conserving like mad, then comes a couple of drivers that blow you out of the water in the last 20 laps...lol, I learned that. I lost this race (well, lost is relative, David is just that good) in the early middle part of the race when I was playing around with Omar and JR and should have just stayed half a lap back and enjoyed the night scenery: still haven't learned.
As far as the admin, last night was an exception. When we have Lady William stewarding I tell you...for ovals there is nothing better than having a manual steward doing calling cautions, restarts, pits etc. It does help a million times to have TS.
Turn out I just don't get. This series is a blast, the mod is a blast (takes some work and setting up the cars) and yet a very low turnout each week.
UNFORTUNATELY, I will miss next week as I am off for a brief vacation. Thank you Bob for coming this week, sorry you had bad luck mate.

Was fun while it lasted. I just misjudged and ripped off a whole side of the car. Didn't really matter though, because a few seconds later my power went out, so there was no way I was going to finish this one out anyway.

Thanks for the info...Yes, the cars are fun to drive so is the mod... The time is fine with me, but the low turn out is what turns me off the most...Maybe Saturday night or Friday night, well I don't know...As for TS, I can't never get it to work, sometimes it does and sometimes not... :S

Congrats David!
