Well done to Don and Bogani.

Great racing guys, it was good be be running with you guys again after last weeks disaster.

My wheel suddenly turned full right with full throttle. My headet failet at the same time. Had to restart it to get it to work properly. This ever happened to you guys? I use a GT2.

Please check the telemetry if you think I just lost concentration!

Btw, have we dropped reverse startorder for race 2 completely?

It's ok bogani, we know you fell asleep at the wheel really!

Ye, we dropped it because it takes too much time to get it sorted and even more time if we have to restart race.

We used lobby point reverse order (with qualification points) in BTTC series as well and it worked great As Dalton said, this way you have to be consistent with your lap times/finishes and slacking at qualification will affect your position on race 2 even if you finish first in race 1

Congrats to winners And my sympathies for Jack's disaster of weekend Next races should be yours to take, mate

I'm not sure of how these lobby-points reverse order(with qualification-points) works? If you want to elaborate?

Well, you get lobby points for qualification AND you get points for race 1.

For example, you qualify as 16th and end race 1 1st your total lobby points would be 1+16 (I'm not sure how lobby points in F4 are calculated but it doesn't matter) - 1 point for qualifying in 16th position and 16 points for finishing race 1 first. If I qualify as 2nd and finish race 1 as 2nd I would get 15+15 (2nd place in each would give me 15 points).

So in reverse grid order people with least lobby points go on start of the grid. Even though you would've finished 1st in race 1 you would still be in front of me on grid in race 2 because you would have less lobby points (17) then me (30).

I hope someone else comes and explains it better, this is too much of english for me

Basically it adds all your positions form each round in that lobby you run, so if you came 1st in qualifying then 16th in the race you would be lower in points than someone who came 3rd in qualifying and the race, so you would start in front of them

I think Gitchi did a pretty good job of summing it up

I have the CSR and it has happend to me a few times. Apparently it only happens on the xbox. Fanatec know about it but ignore the problem.

Lol...Gitchi your English ability is fantastic don't think too much about it, for it being your second language you've got a very decent grasp.

Yeah Gitchi, you speak English better than Jack does!

Ha...coming from the kid that didn't know the difference between long and short vowels.
Oh ya Lanky, I remember!

That's easy long vowels are long, short ones aren't so long!

lol...that is indeed the definition of the vowel structure, nicely put Lanky!

Im sorry guys but There can not be any english lessons on the forums,

This is a place of fun and not a place where people come to get bored half to death

BTW Obviously i am joking.

Ha...no English lessons here, just friendly pissing around followed by a bt of banter. Besides, if I gave lessons I'd have to charge for them...everyone have PayPal?

Haha ill trade you for forza lessons lol
good to see meaningless banter.

Can I sign up for both - english and forza lessons? :/

I'm not going to be able to make this week's race as I'm going out for dinner and next week I'm on holiday so won't be able to attend, sorry!

Holiday? How can you go on holiday when you have a fictional racing series to participate in?! I dont't know.

Where are you going? Anywhere nice? Have a good time mate.

Ok - I'm going to be the first to ask (again), what kind of lap times are we getting? Low 1:34/high 1:33 for me.

I'm a non believer!

We're going to the Lake district thanks mate, if it's like this it should be nice!

I'm getting 1:01.3's

Damn Lanky your smoking around that track good thing you won't be racing this weekend lol. But don I'm in the low 1:03s but with room to improve, this track is going to be a fast pased one that for sure.

I think your doing something wrong, east motegi was 1:30s was what we got in the Grand Am

He must mean 1:33? Damn I got excited when I got a 1:03.4 but that was before I retuned the diff so maybe I have a bit more speed to come. Green you always end up chasing and passing me at somepoint I think I'm starting to get the image of the front of your car burned into my screen

Opps, wrong track that was for the Alps..lol im getting a little jumpy.
