I confess that during the first GP I was so far behind and kept seeing Steve and Vox separated by 0.5 seconds that I just quit and spectated for the last 10 laps. It was a great race. I missed the second race though Sad

i was a very good race. the second race was all over the place. people flying off the track all the time. i crashed first corner, rejoined Very Happy

, then i think crashed another 10 times and got 5th. thats how crazy it was. enjoyed it though

yep that track was simplicity at it's best. You needed the speed to win, but the speed was garanteed to catch you out. took me 5 attempts to validate it Smile

You mean you have to validate each race for the whole lap count? Wow! That's commitment! Perhaps you should let people volunteer to validate all viable tracks for the full GP length ... I'd gladly do some for you.

Yes, when it is in lap mode, validate the track for one lap is enough, but for rounds, it needs the whole lap count.

This task could belong to the one who create the track.
Yesterday, if i remember well, it was CJ and Mad, i'm right ?

First GP was by far the best GP i've been in. Voice and I werent more than 1 second apart for at least 15 laps. But you fell apart on lap 22, i got 2 seconds up. Also, congratz to Dodgy and Retoon for keeping up with the pace, apart from the crashes Cool

Second GP was a bit crazy. I got lapped by lap 8 and after leaving, rejoining and starting again, retoon unlapped himself on me in 5 laps Shocked

Thanks for that Laughing

And Congratz to voice for the win Very Happy

Anyway, great GP, thanks mad Laughing

agreed, was excellent racing, throughout the field. only wish i hadnt bombed out of second race within a lap.

id love to see a points table, as i seem to be making a habit out of finishing third.

yep creating a GP can be time consuming Smile

midden has validated a few for us Smile

thanks midden and It's nice to use new tracks though this also takes time. If were doing new tracks and validating them a GP can easily take up 4 hours preperation...... Just so you know Rolling Eyes

CJ has done lots of tracks and we are now getting a big back catalogue of tracks that we can draw on for GP's so this will become easier. Amd when it's such a success like last night it's great to be part of.

Nemesis again!! wopwop. I dont mind validating a few..

I would offer to validate a few, but the validating the RFR Gp's takes up too much of my time as it is Razz

Keep up the good work on these tracks Very Happy

Last night was alot of fun Smile

The only downside is that if I were to validate a 25-lap race I would surely win the actual thing, just as you do Mad.

Don't let Voices validate anything, no more than bboy Mr. Green

retoon · Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 8:07 pm Post subject:

mad · Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:28 pm Post subject:

yeh I know Smile

I have won a couple and yes their normally the crazy ones. could have won the second one yesterday but got carried away and went too fast over the finish line :O was gutted because It's not often I get a 5 second lead. thanks for all teh offers guys I'll email a couple of tracks with instructions over the next few weeks and that would be a great help. I'll give you lots of time Twisted Evil

and not like the darn it its the weekend again scenario I normally work to.

( Mad and I.........?? ) Usually find that its good to validate the tracks at a reasonable pace, ie..not at full tilt race pace, and even give a little time before finishing the last lap, as this gives plenty of time for newer racers or noob's to still finish the GP, although I must admit recently the field of racer's are all top notch, hardened racing fanatic's............lol, and even if we did set a scorching 25 lap validation time, it would probably get blown into the weed's............. Shocked

, but what the heck Laughing

, I like to race wherever I may find myself during a race Wink
