Online Racing Gallery
« on: September 11, 2008, 01:27:03 PM »
I'm not quite sure whether to put this here or in the paint thread, but we don't seem to have a thread for those pictues you take after a particularly good race.

So, I'll start the ball rolling with a race from Tuesday. Four races - myself (Spirra), BBQ Pete (TVR), Fender (NSX) and another racer called Badger Elite (Lotus). The race was 10 laps at Maple Valley Short, and saw action pretty much through most of it:

1) Early on the race split into two halves with Bader and Fndr contesting 3rd place and myself and Pete running close together at the front



2) On lap 4, I made a mistake, tagged the back of Pete and spun out



3) It didn't take long for Fndr and Badger to catch up though - by lap 6 they were close behind and Badger made a move on Fndr



4) With all 3 slowing each other up I was able to close the gap - by lap 8 we had 4 different drivers in 4 different cars (with 4 different engine configurations!) within 50 metres of each other



5) Eventually it all came down to the last corner of the last lap - can anyone who wasn't in the race guess the 1-2-3? Or indeed how many cars made it out of the last corner?  :D

Here's some pics from the Clio Cup races we had yesterday...

Spiny (Yellow) , Juan (Green) and Me (White / Yellow / Blue) head into the hairpin of MVS..


Coming out of the same corner I've made my pass on Juan and Wivvers (Black) trys to pass Spiny.


Smiffy46 (Blue) puts 2 wheels on the grass trying to pass DD (Spiny's Spirra inspired Pink  ??? ) into the maggots / becketts complex at Silverstone International..


Everyone stays to the inside and Smiffy is able to go from 4th to 1st round the outside..

I was at a football game (FSU vs. Chattanooga), so I missed out, but still had a good time.  Looks like a blast, though.

Here's a couple of shots from an EPIC online race we had the other night in C-class. I chased Spiny for 5 laps of Rd America and I don't think we were ever more than 30-50 meters apart...

Here's the field as we dive into the first corner and Spiny makes a move on the inside...




And after 5 laps of harrasing spiny's bumper he made a slight error exiting the last corner and I got a run up the start / finish straight... just 2/100ths of a second seperated us at the end....  :o

I've got a couple of good replays saved... I should get some shots and post them up here  ;D

That was a good race - I was glad the finish line wasn't any further down the straight though.

Looks like fun, I would love to get into some more online racing!  Seems whenever I try to join a room from the Friend's List I get a "Failed to Connect" message.

Glad you like it - it's one of my earlier paint jobs from before I got online. And before you ask, it does say "Mooooooo!" on the back ;D
