Wow. Way to f-ing aggressive today. seems like no courtesy was given at all when being pushed off track. I know im not all that great but being shoved to the grass on so many corners and forcing a pass when people are that far back in the pack is a bit much IMHO. Might as well race in the public lobby

have to agree with grim, seen a few of the incidents with grim and it an only be put down to overly aggressive driving.
Can drivers please remember race etiquette, these cars are so closely matched that it can be very hard to get past a slower driver and can get frustrating but the driver in front has every right to be on track and defend his position, remember its the following drivers obligation to ensure a clean pass is made. Also keep in mind that if you go off track most of the time it's your fault and you should take care rejoining the track, it's not the following drivers fault you left the track. Church pro has put videos on racing line and etiquette on the forum, I think all drivers should give them a look, let's have some good clean racing this weekend and show everyone what 2o4f is all about.
i had router problems last night so had to quit out and reboot.

seemed that way to me also. i dont expect it to be that way on sunday though. i know i put myself in some wierd situatuions to see how the car would react during it. example: i tried picking up a few spots off the start usually i just ride till we get through the first couple turns. also pushed it 3 wide a couple places where 2 cars wont fit much less 3 lol.
Last night was only a shakedown and from experience these tend to be a lot more relaxed and more often than not there is a lot more questionable driving, when it comes to the actual race its more serious. So I wouldn't take last nights antics to seriously.
There are still spaces on Team Vodafone, especially in room B
Any interest message me for the contract signing and race livery
I am not in any team or room . This will be my first race of the series. Would like to join your team.
Hit up Max. It would be nice racing with u and not against u ink. LOL. I didn't think I would get by ya in the escort series race 1 lastnight. Plus I think we have an opening in room B because pistol hasn't showed yet.
Today the JDan Racing Team showed a preview of his own homepage during a media day with journalists from Germany and from news agencies. After taking a next step a few days ago, when JDANKERT decided to found his own racing team, now all is moving fast forward.
"Well, we surely aren't the fastest team yet, but I think for a period of time we will have the best marketing!"
Knowing that more money is needed to built up the team with:
1) a tuner 2) a second fast driver and 3) a public relations manager with fluent english skills (team owner JDANKERT wants to concentrate on his racing)
the sponsors met in Hamburg, Germany and founded a sponsor pool for 2013.
JDANKERT'S personal sponsor JEVER beer is very proud of all this progress. The following main sponsor will support JDRT until 2015: Absolut Vodka. The following sponsors signed to the pool for the rest of 2013: Samsung, Dell, Garnim, Dethleffs
"I am very, very proud that those companies are willing to support our work. We believe in ourselves and so we know, that we won't disapoint them."
Asked about the upcoming races JDANKERT said:
"I am concerned about reports from training races, that the races were "...way to f-ing aggressive..." This development started in the first BTCC races and now it seems, that the new guys are pushing on. I think that is not good. 2O4F is known and beloved for "clean, fair and space giving" racing. May be the officials should rethink about running the series with full sim damage on? Well, however, I am prepared and will drive my style and hold my line!"
Team ROFL Racing released an updated roster today ( in the hopes that ChurchPro would update the spreadsheet) to the surprise and delight of fans everywhere! Drivers representing all walks of life, from many corners of the world!
Team ROFL Racing
ChurchPro, SimF40, KentB56, XXsitement, steviegers, CillettiDad ( on loan from ALS), Kevlar133, StewiesHead and Oldschool.
Currently involved in the Cosworth RS series, The SEAT Leon Cup and the Porsche GTC series. Looking to push into the EVORA Cup possibly. Also whispers of possibly entering into Aussie V8 competition...
9 drivers in one team? Isn't that a little bit too much "thunder" and "churching"?
I am asking myself "Who is the team boss?" in all those new teams. Very strong personalities are bounded together, f.e. in the pistonheads team. And how do those teams deal with different nationalities? Hopefully there won't be misunderstandings, which are settled in different kind of world views (USA and Europe) and different taste of humor (British and European). Well, questions, questions,...... Because I am one of the last independent and free (I like that) drivers, I hope to get the "independent trophy" like f.e. Matt Neal did in the BTCC 93, 95, 99, 00.
I hope, that there won't be any psychological and/or emotional stress in any team, but with those team orders, which are on their way, I am not sure that it will be avoidable. I am waiting on something like "multi21" (Vettel/Weber) between Filthymonkey and one of his guys. . Hmmmm. Another future scenario: Church can be the champion if he take the win in the last race, but one of his teammates don't give him space for overtaking safely and so HLR King wins. Hmmmmm. Will there be discussions after that?
In one of the last Nascar races Kyle Bush took a win, because two drivers (Logano and Hamlin) were fighting too hard with each other. I like that idea: A team in front of me is struggling and I win. Hmmmm? We all will see, if we do " Gentlemen start your engines!" May be next Sunday in Spain.
My first training session was ...... okay until my xbox shut down. Which times are possible on the Seat home track?
There is something to be said for having a large visible support group in place, quality people have been inclined to consider our merits and pursue a career here.
Church has been saddled with unofficial team captain on the track in the SEAT series, but even he isn't without constraints, but honestly, it's quite laid back. Laid back enough he may have been unaware...There have been no edicts on ceding track position to team mates, indeed personality in the team is quite diverse as well as technique.
Also, some of those drivers are in other series, and even the SEAT's are distributed amongst two divisions.
However, I can't guarantee you won't have a wall of ROFL in your windscreen?
As far as Fitzy arguing with Parcells, I think Parcells arguing with Parcells is a more immediate concern.
Fresh from 3 weeks of practice sessions at the Mexican Nascar circuit in Aguascalientes, Mexico I'm very proud to announce that I have secured a place in the JDan racing team for the remainder of the 2013 season!
Looking forward to my inaugural race this coming Sunday.
Look out Church and Fitzy, the new guy is here and out to make a name for himself!
Shakedown starts in 30min lads!
I would like to join also I am part of the DBBQ team with seeker and grd.

There is something very Fwd in the pipeline chap :-)

Congrats on joining a good team Mapo, as for making a name for yourself I can think of a few for you if you like.
Thats what I like to see...my teammate offering assistance to those in need. Makes Pracells feel great about team PistonHeads mission statement.
You disappoint Parcells Mapo. Fitzy offers his assistance and you come up with this offensive and, lets be honest, semi-threatening language?
Mapo, Fitzykillers are more commonly known to most as walls...
Many have tried Mapo, tried and failed.
Nah
