Shame that the model of the bike is really bad (very few polygons) because the bike is fun ::)

i don't see Avus on the Hotlap servers - my best lap so far is 57.1s.
number #47 - ping permitting, of course.... ::)
I did about ten laps, my best time is 56.500 with the default setup, you can go a lot better arranging gears :P
EDIT: 54 now, maybe its possible go below 50? :o

You wont until a server that is connected to the Hotlap Server is used (EG: GPBOC1). GPBOC 2 is not connected on purpose.
In.
same issue as last, i was practising just fine about 20 minutes ago, and now come official practice, can't get on.
darn it to heck - must go and get a good provider for some better bandwidth.... :P
try again - we have left so you can get on first :D

Tried restarting the router? :P
tried that before, no change.
something weird when i did get on and you guys started joining, o was on track but there was no more comms, and my controls also suddenly changed for no reason - had to go in and reassign my back brake and a few other things. all happened out of nowhere. weird. ::)
edit: tried again, and got a 'banned' message - could be because you guys had already started?
Yeh sorry Cape it was a mess - I thought if we could get you in first it might help - well it did because you got in but you had a massive desync (not helped by a DS track). better get that Internet spiced up so we can try again buddy.
Well a race evening full of drama is all I can say. Really enjoyed it! - that bike sure makes for some nice battles. Would have been awesome with a full grid, slipstreaming down to the hay bales, weaving through the man-made chicane etc.
Congratulations for Yan for No.1 and me for No.2 (OMG no way!) and Blackheart for No.3 and commiserations to Matty for breaking the poor old engine early in the race. To everyone else thanks for coming ;)
Really fun, shame we were only 4! I tried to keep the second position until the end, but a blue flag distracted me, I looked back and there was yan, I was going to go but I saw Nick close, panicked I missed the curve and I have fallen xD
I want this event yet! ;D

Bah you told 'em - now my 2nd means feck all hahahahahaha! ;D
Yes our battle was again awesome I think we are each others nemesis at the moment.
See you at Spa on Sunday, hoping for a big turnout for a great event.

Yeah we are always more or less close, I do not understand why in every race in the early laps always fall! >:(
4 of us and i still didn't get a podium... might just give up racing :P
No no! Everyone was a winner here because of the fun and 'barrier thrills'. Besides who came third in the first GP800 Cup championship race????? Far more prestigious than a car park thrash. Besides Blackheart didn't wear his Club Jacket so he is disqualified anyway. Oh wait........ ;)
Ahh fack :-[
you might have noticed that i 'personalised' my club jacket a bit- lol, i don't know if that's against the rules, but i hope not.
darn, i'm disappointed about not making the race - i love the Avus track, really simple, just all about that first hairpin.
another track that i've found myself enjoying immensely is the Daytona 200 circuit - not sure why, i'm not usually a big fan of the oval style race, but this one is a nice mix of half-oval and half-twisty bits, and is actually good fun, as well.
anyone have a replay of last night's race?
so, off to sort out some better bandwidth today, i can't dick around like this much longer, i wanna race! 8)
btw, my best actual lap so far is a 54.6. somehow i managed an ideal best time of 53.1, so it's still possible to get down to that, at least for me. ;D

I would need a copy of your defaced club jacket please. :P
matty, unless i buggered up somewhere while working on the skins, it should be the one i uploaded. let me double-check.
the skull should be replaced with an iron maiden eddie face, and a few other extra bits 'n pieces.... AC/DC patch, and such, lolz ;D
edit: still working on an updated one, jacket covered in pop badges, heheh. will upload it when done ;)
Okay mate. I thought you had a seperate suit skin from the bikes (BTW you can make a seperate suit if you didn't know ;) )
Club Jacket Personalisation is OK now that we have a Matty in charge of skins to distribute it. Keeping it recognise-able is important of course.
'54 times at Avus are awesome for us 'normals'. 54 was my best anyway.
i must say i've found Avus to be one of the most stable tracks yet, not a single core crash with it, and whereas the default Victoria track crashes each time i change a bike skin/helmet/whatever, here i can chop 'n change skins/suits all day no long, not even a stutter. why is that, i wonder? .... ???
Maybe, but it needs some work on plugging the holes and more importantly the 'getting stuck inside the barrier if you crash on the straight bit' (happens more often than you might think when racing/starting on grid).
Interesting observation which, with further investigation and a fruitful answer to your question, might help in identifying one of the core reasons. Shame it will probably go unnoticed.
