Winter 07 Raceweek #3 Japan Meeting

[JawZ]

what were you thinking about

[retoon]

was it just me that kept landing funny on the jump before the line. about 3 times i landed and it turned me into that pillar

[quote=jawz"]what were you thinking about[/quote]

unfortunately nothing very interesting, I remember thinking about how to turn the HUD off while going round a wallride and then chastising myself for even thinking of trying to do it mid race

I also frequently looked down the main straight after the hairpin but didn't see 2nd place

Haah. It's amazing what experiments you suddenly try halfway through a race. It's frustrating as hell when you're in the top 5 after 8 laps and about 2 hours of training ... I guess it's like racing for Honda F1.

[Dutchy]

Okay guys, I'm just putting the finishing touches to the Japan GP. Don't expect much thought, due to my computer kicking me out half way throught the race for a ViRuS scan. So what I had to work on was what was left of my recordings and Moldo's replay, which meant I also couldn't select other drivers for some reason.

Working on the Jalapeno GP as we speak, and should be a lot better. But running out of ideas for music, any ideas?

I was just thinking about that music you've chosen for Hawai and Honduras. I like the 'unknown' 80's music, a bit softrock but not too soft ^^ keep it up

[Dutchy]

That song for Hawaii was a great little song called "The Day We Caught The Train" by Ocean Colour Scene. and the one for the first video was called "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. The Japanese one has the Rolling Stones. But struggling to find a another suitable one for the fourth.

Nice video again mate.. Don't ya just love the bit after 2:15 Dant ^^ Great head to head racing

[Medi]

Really good video Dutchy, nice music too

To give you some more video-footage, do I need to send you the replay next week?

[Dutchy]

I should be okay next week Medi. It was only becuase my computer booted me out of the first GP that I needed someones replay, as mine would not have been long enough. But otherwise I can get everyones race path of my own replay. But it would be nice to have someone save replays if I get booted again, or if I can't make it to a GP.

on this weeks tracks on mad's there is a cut

by going off track straight after the 1st checkpoint. it just needs the 2nd checkpoint further back or a 3rd checkpoint in between 1 and 2

it's quite difficult but could be learned ... so no one use it in the GP

[Moldo]

Yea, still kinda unfair that you and I have a time with the cut.. so.. reset the times? or has that happened already? ^^

[Voices]

moldo we have 2 accounts so im using my second one now so you should too
so the cut time can be ignored

in addition cut on Spain as well ... after 1st checkpoint hit wall and go over and land on the jump landing section

[Moldo]

Okay, just ignore those 26's then

[Voices]

ive got my "non - cut" time down to mid 27

so the 26s could be beaten by bboy or dant or you perhaps later on

[Moldo]

Yea, that's a shame. I had 27.16 before I did the cut.. Ah well, guess that's what I deserved
