I will go with the flow, as I'm quite new to the forum I don't want to rock the boat, not quite sure how things like this have been done in the past. I personally think there is room for a couple of threads, maybe this one which sticks mainly to autolog and another with screenshots etc.

I was thinking earlier that maybe this thread should be used only for autolog names and create another for just banter and challenges etc.

What do you think? Is that too complicated?

Still no sign of a sticky!! Don't want to have to keep bumping to keep near the top

back up to 3rd in the friends autolog rankings
only by about 3 points though.

Who is 1st & 2nd? Is this for the career or everything?

goto the friends tab in autolog and press k it shows the friendslist as a league

Yeah, sorry I should have said, I'm at work & the online (web based) autolog doesn't work. Was just wondering as I did some career and loads of time trials this morning. Couldn't pull myself off it!! LOL

Yep, I was on till late last night and got a few. I must say it was quite difficult tho, had me cussing at the A1 a few times, now it feels like I got blisters coming on the inside of my thumbs where I grip the wheel.......I think I had better turn the force feedback down a tad.

All good fun tho.

Hehe, I shall be back on at some point to try and reclaim my position LOL.

Don't laugh but I ended up having to put some gloves on the other day as my G25 was killing my thumb! :eek:

Not funny at all, 2 years back I was in agony with my thumb as it was suffering from RSI from my wheel. I really couldn't even move it at times as the tendons were so inflamed they just stopped working. Luckily tablets and cream worked wonders.

I've wrapped strips of cloth now around the wheel to make it thicker and softer and I've been fine since.

Ouch! Thats hardcore gaming for you!! hehe

Yeah it's not worked since day 1 as far as I can tell. Well I have never got it to work! Let's not forget who were dealing with! Do there servers ever work!

richardirv · 7 Apr 2011 at 15:20

Well, I have to say the Nordschleife race with the Mclaren MP4-12C is pretty much the most intense thing I have ever experienced in a racing game! Ever!

I wish you could save the replays! without having to use FRAPS etc.

I was gutted to find that after the 3rd attempt at a clean run I had my time taken off me, I thought it was a good run and didn't see the text come up to say I had my time disqualified but there was one corner I did run wide on so it must have been that.

I was so sweaty after the 3rd run I couldn't bring myself to do another.

Here is a pic with the time as the autolog cheated me out of it!

i did it in 7:34 but clipped the grass slightly and got my time disqualified, i was trying to take it easy and not crash at the end though + i used a keyboard

LOL, yeah you will say anything!!

It is very unforgiving though, if its not getting tangled with the AI, its the dam thing disqualifying your time! :mad:

richardirv · 7 Apr 2011 at 15:39

Competition? What did I miss?

Don't think I have touched the Mclaren yet, still standard!

arknor said:
i meant like last year when everyone was doing the shift1 lap time competition

nothing official and no prizes other than bragging rights

niko said he would start one of on saturday

Oh I see, I'm quite new so I missed all that. Sounds good though!

richardirv · 8 Apr 2011 at 20:52

Anyone got any idea's for maybe a challenge for the weekend?

I was thinking a any car within a set class / performance rating and a set track? Best time wins.

Or same car stock?

I'd also say elite mode only but I rekon that might upset a few people :rolleyes:

Don't know how this has been done in the past?

richardirv · 11 Apr 2011 at 21:14

Added more people today, noticed still loads of friend requests not accepted! If you haven't had one from me, apologies, add me if you think on. Sure I have most on the list though.

richardirv · 18 Apr 2011 at 17:23

Still loads not accepting friend request, must have at least 8 on my list pending!
