Hey guys sorry but I won't be able to do this today.
This is kind of personal but since I'm backing out I owe an explanation. My wife's ex-husband was a douche and part of the issues with him is that his life revolved around video games. With In-Laws coming over here soon I don't think it's a good idea if I go ahead and race anyhow.
Now if not for the wife's ex, and what not I'd go ahead and race anyhow but as it is Ignoring company for an hour or two for a race isn't a good idea.

Arse! and a pox on Turn Ten's servers...I had to drop out thanks to me lagging yet when I immediately checked my speed I am well in the usable zone 4.5 Mbps down and 2.8 Mbps up. Not steller I grant you, but I know it's good enough or should be! I have raced with speeds of half that.
What is a poor boy to do, I enjoy racing with you all but running in a series is pointless. It is just an exercise in frustration.

Not sure it was you boss I seen a few cars flying in the first race (not you)but after that it all looked good :)
That was my first real race experience other than running in lobbies. What a blast! Hot lapping is one thing, this is a whole lot different. Was overwhelmed by all the fast guys. Clean and classy bunch.
Need to tear my rearview mirror off, because of all the intimidating mutha's ;)
My Fanatec wheel lost connection or something in second race, was a drag, but fun none-the-less. Sorry to those whose bumpers I decorated as they checked-up.
till next week...laterzzzz and cheers
edit: I think I picked the wrong car to race with ;)

Racing here is sooo much more fun than the lobbys, glad you enjoyed it. :-)
A couple of folk mentioned it, I could see a couple of flying and divebombing cars but most seemed okay...I dunno, but if people cannot trust where I am on the track I don't see how I can remain. Last thing I want is to wreak someones race. I know Helios was having issues with me, at one point he apologised for a tap when as far as I was concerned be was about 30 feet behind me and I felt nothing. To me it looked like he was lagging...
All I know is I can race in any number of PC Sims with almost no issues any time of day or night, but Forza has been nothing but problems with getting into rooms, lag, nat issues (not mine) and "Network Problems"
I did not see any issue with you or anyone else. It might not be your connection but someone else. Give it another try but I would not want you to give up becuase of someone elses lag.
Great set-up Church this is going to be a fun fun series!!!
Knight, it was me who said something right before you quit out. I don't want you to think I was mad. It was one of those weird moments where you divebombed into the pavement then went side to side as I was passing you on the inside. Not your fault. I'll just have to pass you very carefully next time. It could just be the distance between us that caused it, though I'm in NJ, USA so I'm alot closer than most to you from a USA standpoint. I'm not sure the lag issue. But I want you to race in this, this is the first time I've ever raced with you and it wasn't a bad experience. Don't give up Knight. We'll try again next week.
I know it wasn't my internet connection I usually rock right around 25-35+ mbps with a max of 50 mbps on off peak hours. I have business internet in my house due to the high use of bandwidth of all of my electronic devices but only the 2 xboxs where online at the time.
Oh no mate, I didn't think you were mad. I just didn't want to create problems for the field. I know myself how nerve wracking it can be following and trying to pass someone who is flying and divebombing. No amount of care can prevent a lag hit. I will for sure give it another go next week...Very jealous of your connection speeds
I pay a good amount of money for my internet. Thus why I race with a controller and not a wheel like you knight. I just saw your rig in the "pics of your rig thread". My router is capable of 125+ mbps. WHO THE FUCK NEEDS 125MBPS? Just insane. My internet company offers that kind of speed too. I mean seriously, who needs that?
I'm not sure what it was knight, but if you want, add me to your list and maybe we can 1v1 sometime soon and just see if maybe it was a connection hiccup or something.

FR sent, not often on Forza outside of Track Night or now Sunday night, I'll get on a little early both those nights and see if your around

hhmmmmm, it was an experience! All I can say is, that I don't like any of those Silverstone tracks. My car was competetive, my racing only few rounds in each race. Again to many mistakes. Here are some photos:
I noticed that my car is in 4 of those 8 pics. Sorry JDAN. I do recall the one hard one that sent you flying off the track. I apologized, I don't know if you heard it or not. If not, I'm sorry.

and I quote "my cars fast down the straight than his, i will help him with a little push"
also driving with your women and kid in your race car is just dangerous.
hey, it was not all too bad and I am not angry! I know, that no one did it on purpose and not to with a bad meaning. You tried to make me faster :-) I took and take most of it easy, but still the whole day I had a feeling of wanting to show, that I don't want to be the "ever nice, friendly and slow guy". Even if my weapons are ...... (my english) .... not sharp enough, I won't give up every fight for position.
Okay, I am too slow and so in a way I am responsible for giving opportunities for overtaking, bumping,....... Hey, believe me: I am in training very hard to solve this problem! On the other hand: If you have chances to race against me, that means I am not always lonely behind all others. I make little steps forwared. Each race. Someday I will ........
Next weekend life gift me the next zero! For that I am not absolutely sure, if I can make it to the race- If so I will be delighted to see and hear you ALL again.
When I was pushing him, it was coming out of a corner right onto the straight. I was already on his bumper through the corner and when I acceled out, I guess my car accels a little faster than his and I was pretty much pushing him. It's wasn't on purpose, but funny. JDAN, if you want to add me to your list, feel free. I've gotta learn how you drive as well.

No worries BMW!

I don't think there was a single second where my mirror and windscreen wasn't full of a car.
Cheers lads!
Everyone has untill this time tomorrow to PM me of any issues they had during the race's. Other than that I will get the results up on Tuesday.
Cheers again

Great set-up Church this is going to be a fun fun series!!!
damn good racing today folks. "I can't believe I puled a "Church" & rolled my car with 2 laps to go on the 1st race. Can't wait till next week.
sorry i missed today, family shit will be there next week

I noticed that my car is in 4 of those 8 pics. Sorry JDAN. I do recall the one hard one that sent you flying off the track. I apologized, I don't know if you heard it or not. If not, I'm sorry.
and I quote "my cars fast down the straight than his, i will help him with a little push"
also driving with your women and kid in your race car is just dangerous.
Some nice pics Jdan.
In regards to contact I will be keeping a close eye on it this season.
As there is no damage and it seems everyone is running around the same times (Uber close racing!) I don't want people to abuse this fact.
If there is serious contact or the same drivers are doing it week on week the offending partys will lose championship points.
Depending on how a bump effects another driver/s will reflect on the amount of points deducted.
Nice roll over there jDan
Cannot wait for next week!! And as the first race is over the racing should be a lot cleaner (and closer)
who saved the replays? I'd like to watch them when I get a chance.

Hockenheim is my favorite track. After this weekends GT3 FIASCO, I'll be REALLY looking forward to this weeks BTCC race.
Maybe I can get some folks to post their times so I can see how I will compare this weekend?
Well my best so far is a 1:54.601, but then again I run at the back of the field so it's not much of a time to go on
