    Just a further query. Will there be gaps between the classes or all stay together?

    1120 IIRC, should be the most recent stable update

    We are on 1120. Maybe you are using an old costum skin? Look for a BMW version with a C at the end in "Content" and delete that one.

    I thought we had an agreement that the formation lap was to be done on the speed limiter and double file. And only a few guys in each class did that while the rest are blasting off in the distance. Also being on the speed limiter until the start / finish line was ignored by a lot of people, giving them an unfair advantage at the start of the race. The instructions were on the forum and in the chat.

    Formation lap procedure

    How does each race start?
    1. The race starts by a formation lap on the speed limiter.
    2. The formation lap is done double file
    3. Green flag for each class polesitter when crossing the start / finish line.

    So their I am racing with the love of my life Caitlin and it's going good, were having fun and...

    Can I just get into one simple race without being punted? is that to hard to ask for? Were here for fun, not to destroy peoples races but to just have fun. It so freaken simple. No math needed. No brain cells needed.
    That's how my race went...again. Shaking my head. You were a backmarker, why do that??

    On another note, almost pulled the trigger on a Stumpjumper S-Works! :cool: But I didn't. :(

    Ohh, she's beautiful John. Should have seen her when the sun was hitting her. Full carbon frame, carbon wheels, 150mm front and back/Fox suspension. I'm getting turned on just talking about it. She sure is "Special".

    I agree John. I was waiting but was told by a certain person ("wink") to get my ass on the gas during formation.

    I saw that message. You didn't have to do that. Caitlin didn't pay attention to the formation lap procedure either.
    It was total chaos. I went into the pits and pressed Esc.

    a double file formation lap would be easier without limiter I think

    I started off on the limiter, but all of the DPis started pulling away so I had to keep the 4 second gap you were talking about otherwise they would have caught the Porsches before the Porsches had even started the race. Towards the end of the lap I tried to slow to let Johnny pull alongside me, but he didn't. It was rather messy. Sorry if I was to blame for any of it!

    You did an amazing job until that. I think you got really unlucky, and it may have cost you a chance to win. I hope you come back next time, because I'm looking forward to hopefully racing you cleaner!
    Also, 'the love of my life'? :p

    Yeah, sorry about that. I was trying to keep the 4 second gap to the DPis like you said. When you're going to be breaking protocol either way, what do you do?

    Hi, I would have liked to see replay about this action but I haven't...
    me too was there for fun, and also my race was destroyed... spending more than 2 minutes for repair.
    I'm one lap down searching to leave space to every car lapping me... but I think searching to pass Caitlin while he's lapping me is not the safer way to lap a car... Imola is not a track for 3 wide situation...
    but sorry If I don't leave enough space, if someone post replay and if it's so ...sorry again
    PS ...and sorry for my english

    I find upholding the agreement is the best course of action.

    I'll remember that for next time. It just got really messy and I had to make a decision. Not entirely my fault.
