Some recent times


Also the server is now at 100% race distance which equals 47 laps. Please check your fuel consumption figures. Is it possible? 

[nuovaic]

So if you cut that last corner as much as you can every lap it puts you back a lap or and therefore a different place?

DD

Hmm, just tested and I was wrong, not that corner. I got a missed lap in 10 purposefully going over the lines, but cant find where (in practice no time is shown for that lap, just ----

More testing needed!

[doubledragoncc]

I try to always stay in between as it is meant to be but guess some like to get faster laps and not care about fairness lol. I will stick to between at least I know myself it is more realistic too.

[Grooveski]

Oh great, now I feel like a cheater because I avoided downed riders in race 2.  Cheers DD.   

[Napalm Nick]

Maybe I add these old tyres and bales here 

[Blackheart]

If I remember correctly Nick before the race said that the limits of the track were the walls 

[Hawk]

Not a bad idea NIck! Lol 

Lol! I remember when I first cut that corner I expected the  bike to jump up on the kerbing but it just stayed level and smooth! I thought, OH!, now I know why some are going faster! Hehe. 

But no. Cutting the yellow lines should not have any effect on the lap times or lap count.

Yep I did because I know humans are scum suckers so wanted everyone to feel at ease with it. 

Cutting the first corner behind the red/white kerbing though is just unsportsmanlike and well, saaaaaad.

Can the gaping surface chasm be closed Hawky? I cant figure out how to do it 

[doubledragoncc]

LOL Grooveski, I think avoiding downed bikes and cutting a corner are 2 separate things dude lol.

[Napalm Nick]

Hawk has explained to me that the track mesh is so bad that gap cannot be closed without remaking the whole track surface which is a big job and requires track maker skills.

Don't worry about staying in between the yellow lines but I have added new obstacles at the two hairpins to prevent unsportsmanlike cutting.

So we will just run it Sunday and hope for the best. Its a fun event, try to have some.  

[doubledragoncc]

So when do we get the new track with obstacles?

DD

[Napalm Nick]

Hawk is adding it to the DB version and will let us know when it is ready

[Hawk]

So when do we get the new track with obstacles?

DD

Yeah, sorry guys, if it was just a case of closing that gap and re-exporting then it wouldn't be a problem, but I'm having to work from the original 3D source files which are in a terrible state and would require many full days of dedicated work to repair and put things right before export. It would be better to just start afresh and rebuild the circuit from scratch and I just haven't got the time available to do that as I'm involved in so many other projects right now, but maybe in the future unless someone else wants to do it as a track project? 

@DD: The new track with the obstacle files will be available within half an hour.... I'll make the usual announcement via the "Track Downloads" forum thread. 

You beat me to it Nick.... Your typing speed is definitely improving! Hehe! 

Hawk.

This is how 50 laps looks like.
