| I had a last minute hesitation about the main design and slick or dirt tires, but i'll keep dirt ones and the design won't change for now... |

I may be a little bit late tonight but i hope not.
I'm working until 20h30 (19h30 for you) but customers are very boring and slow in summer, and i've about 20 minutes of road to go home.
I should not have invalid time since i'll race on my father's computer... more or less the McLaren Simulator lol. |

Sorry guys, what a shambles.
NAtions would have coped with the racers tonight but forever is a little more greedy and I wasnt watching the figures... i was trying to race. I will be a little more cautious next week and we'll also try some different styles of track. |

No need to apologise! your positives outnumber your negatives by a massive 51% to 49%, so you have loads of wiggle room in the minds of the Madocracy. |

I thought Pepper's track was pretty good, didn't like the turbo/jump bit but I never like jumps. Really dislike andsome's tracks though, far too much randomness.
Considering this is the first time I remember a GP ever having problems, I firmly place the finger of blame on TMNF and certainly not you Mad.

I reckon AndSomes tracks add a bit of spice to the format, if its too samey and the norm the same faces run away with victory at least with his tracks it mixes it up a bit and there is more changes in the running order, I went from 19th to 7th at one point, not many tracks that happens on.

My lil girl wouldn`t sleep at start of first GP, then i pressed "backspace", which did my head in, then i left and changed my settings, returned and everyone got kicked*. Second GP, didn`t have a chance cos little un said, I`m hungry ( to which i left to feed her, and she said , I`m not hungry, which resulted in shouting and `sent to bed effect`).
*Hope me joining again didn`t get everyone kicked

It's called Forver for a reason...it takes forever to download, forever to install, forever to get used to and forever to do anything. Pretty though.

Yes I believe it was you Dan that cost me the heady heights of 7th place, thanks a bunch chum 
If you want some tips and advice for how to deal with children when you're racing follow this easy plan.
You will need a play pen one preferably with a floor, one child and one tantrum.
1.) Take child and place on floor
2.) Take play pen and invert so the floor covers the tots head
3.) Place pen over child, if it is one of those mesh ones that have no real weight get a concrete slab preferably 600x600x75mm and place on top so the play pen can't be moved. Stick some rice cakes and a bottle of water in with them in case you're playing a 2 hour GP.
4.) When child screams about being incarcerated stick on Fleetwood Mac (If Manuel Noriega couldn't stand it neither can your kid)
5.) Place headphones over ears and listen to the whacky chat in Vent.
6.) Ignore the wifes complaints that she'll report you to the social services because really no harm has been done.
et voila
Kid free Trackmania time

I always found Calpol a little too sickly tasting....
Good old Beechams powders - straight - seem to do the trick better!!  |
