7-th GT Race - RootsLionsden

Ok, no time to talk, cause we are alreday at mid-week practice for a Sunday race, and this next track is a 'killa' track.. Jahombre is getting very serious with his building skills, so this one is going to be a pain-in-the-arse.. Very long lap ( about 1:30 minutes!), with lots of nasty corners, tricky chicanes, few jumps, very narrow corners and many, many wonderful things yet to see too..
As for the turnout, I know that's not going to be a problem, cause number of drivers is always between 25-30, and if things turn up good to drivers and they all manage to show, we may even see almost 35 racers on track, so soon we will need some traffic policeman or some traffic lights to control this amount of cars on track
Ok, back to track now..



As you can see, I needed to go on Moon to take a picture of track that can fit in just one frame but I manage even that too as you can see
As on most tracks too, this one also have PITS on the left side, right after Start/Finish line.. Exit for the PITS is at the turn no.3. so you'll need some driving through the PITS too.. Try not to hit the walls while exiting form the PITS, cause every second can be vaulable! As for the turn no.1. you can easly pass it no matter how your speed is, so this turn will not be a problem for you drivers, cause it's not even problem for me too! Just slide very close to the left side of the track.. Turn no.2. can be a little problem though.. It's a fast chicane, and if you don't start turning on time, you can easly hit the front side of the wall there, and that means driving in backward, leading to lose a lots of seconds! Turn no.3. is also a tricky chicane, but not narrow chicane like turn no.2. so you'll need to make it very good through here cause in most of (my) cases, you can end up hitting front wall right at the CheckPoint, and that again means losing speed, seconds, and getting frustrated a lot.. Turn no.4. is easiest on hole track! You can pass it in full throttle and without sliding too.. Turn no.5. is a very similar to turn no.4. but here you may need to slide a little bit, cause you may hit the wall while exiting this turn, if you try to pass it without slide..
Then it's a long ride to the turn no.6. and here you even go to the jump mode, so all you need is to know that you always must be to the left side of the track, and then you can manage to pass turn no.6. in full slide speed! Also try when you going to jump not to be VERY close to the left side, cause you can hit the fence, and end up fliping your car there! So, pay attention here! Turn no.7. is a very similar turn as turn no.3. cause it's very fast wide chicane too, and corners are similar as on turn no.3., so try not to hit wall while exiting that turn.. Turn no.8. look like an easy downhill turn, but can be deceived! If you don't go wide (right side of the track) you may tilt your car in the air there, and even flip it too! So, stay wide here! Turn no.9. is a turn that can easily pass it with full throttle without sliding either.. Then we come to the tricky sector! On turn no.10. try to be on the right side, but here is a bumpy road, so it may happen that your car can be in the air while turning, and that may produce you a problem while exiting it, and even make your car to filp over and even into the air over the track! You'll need all your focus on this turn, and try not to DNF here! Turn no.11. it's a very strong, almost 180^o corner, and due to bumpy road there too, it's very hard to pass this corner without hitting some walls.. From that you can with full speed, and without sliding, pass turn no.12. and make through the Start/Finish line.. And then repeat all this about 30 times in the row

As you can see, it's a long and quite hard track, so you'll need to pay atteniton before turn no.6 while in jumping mod, turn no.8. and downhill corner and specially turn no.10., cause on this turns you can easly go to DNF..
Hope to see leading drviers this Sunday, to see how Chamiponship Driver standings will continue to play, as also Team Championship too.. Hoping to see stabile host, less chating during race little DNF, and, again, pleasant Sunday night with all of you TM² RRR drivers and friends!
Aloha..

6-th GT Race Review - RootsLagos

We are at half of first GT TM² season, and still this event is a priority thnig to do on Sunday nights!
On this race, we didin't have few fastest drivers here ( Dome, Laurens, MaSSa, Monty..) and missing few common too, but still 25 races show on race!! There was 27 on quali, but tbvivien and hpr-Marian went missing after Quali.. And also, there were a few drivers who spec all race, so in one time there were 31 active drivers, but when race start, only 25 were racing.. If we add them to the next races, and add this one who were missing, soon we will have around 35 drivers per race, so battle for a rewarding 20-th last place for only just one point, will be extremely high! Or Jahombre will move rewarding limit for a few position extra.. We will see how next turnouts will be, but it's good to see that popularity of this GT Championship is rising from each race to another!

Pole Position was taken by WeSSy, and Alex was second! In the second row, there was amp-scape, and Vesiapina, TTCO was 5-th, and new drvier amp-BooB was 6-th.. MidnightMan was on very good 8-th place, but bad lap was made by ars-sm!e who was on 11-th place and Mirosh on 23-th place.. Last to places takes our two lovley ladies, Kritsen and Tina..

This track had a long lap, but it was an easy track, and due that we only have 2 DNF (NH90 on lap 10 and K.O.Hasi on lap 21).. Cool Driving also DNF, but he left before start of the race.. G.F1 TTCO almost win, but he didn't stay one lap longer on 20min stunt, so he need to go to Pits 2 laps before end, cause he didn't have enough fuel(minutes) for a last lap.. If he did stay on track while it was shaking screen on 20 min stunt, he may even win this, but now he know where to pay attention in the future So gold medal was taken by Vesiapina, so Gecko team is very proud for that, and his teammate remasy was 19-th in the end, but he drove injured, so that's to respcet too! New driver amp-BooB show that all amp drivers are just too good for TM² game, so get silver medal on his debi.. TTCO take his second bronze medal, and another amp driver (amp-scope) was 4-th! ADAC Tony was very good here, and he make it to the 5-th place with 2 seconds of gap over WeSSy! Alex show his poteintal here so he took 7-th place.. In Top10, Winner was 8-th, Mirosh manage to get 9-th place, and ars-sm!e was 10-th.. Icke didn't manage to beat sm!e in the end (missing only +0.54 secs) so he took only 11-th place.. LameDuck was 12-th, Jahombre 13-th, me 14-th and Haze was 15-th.. Quickies way a little faster then Sulfite (for only +0.52 secs) so he took 16-th place, so Sulfite was 17-th.. Points still get MidnightMan (18-th), remasy (19-th) and DarkMan (20-th).. New driver ADAC Neco didn't manage to get points, but hope to see him on next race though..

It was a very good race and another great turnout, no matter that we were missing almost 6-7 regular and consist drivers! Driver Championship standings are unchangeable so Laurens is still in lead with 160 points, and Dome2012 is on second place with 121 point! In Team Championship, Roadrunner's (Wessy and Icke) manage to pass Red Devil's ( Dome2012 and Winner) for only one point, so now they are on second place with 195 points, but still 64 points behind amplified Team (Laurens and scope).. And it looks like miniMAX Team ( sm!e and TTCO) has a good chance to fight with the leading Teams..
Still 6 races to come, so thee's a lot of points in the game too.. Hope to see you all well and helathy on next Sunday night race, and in the meanwhile stay sharp and keep practicing this next track cause this one is a 'killer'

TM2 500 miles Review - Indy Legends

Ola 500 miles racers!
Last Saturday night at 23:00, we had first TM² 500 miles race here! We can also call it as test race to, because we wanna to see how it will look like.. And, it turns out, it was a very good thing! There was 12 drivers willing to prove their limits here! 6 RRR drivers (Wessy, tbviven, Sulfite, Icke, Winner and Jahombre) versus 6 'strangers' (me, hpr-Marian, hpr-Drive, ars-sm!e, Mirosh and MidnightMan)!

It was a very short and easy track, but last corner before Start/Finish line can be tricky (cost me a DNF btw), so we need to have focus and concetration all race long.. And it was a very long race.. 398 laps with Pit Stops make race to be over 2 hours long! And just few of them make it!

Let's start from Quali seasion.. Here we skiped Quali Seasion no.2 (when yopu drvoe just 2 laps) and drive only 10 min of Quali Seasion 1, which we use as Grid postion at race! hpr-Marian take Pole Postion, WeSSy was on second place with just of thousands of seconds ahead of ars-sm!e, and Icke take foruth place with also just of thousands of seconds over me.. Surprisingly, Winner was last here, with almost one second behind Pole Postion!
When race strarts, we went for a Pits of course.. I decide to go with 30min fuel, cause I'll manage to make 100 laps with that, so 4 times in 30min should be enough (talking to myself ) but I never make that far We even didn't start, and Jahombre already left us! He made us to come so late for a race, then he quit after one minute! Sneaky S-O-B Just kidding, I know he feel very bad for that, but he should call restart, cause it was just lap 4, and driving without him it's less fun.. Anyway, race continues even without crucial drivers Soon, one after another drivers DNF.. First was Winner at lap 55, and than in about 10-12 minutes, 4 drivers went off ! First was Icke on lap 95, them me on lap 110, then Suflite on lap 116, and then tbviven on lap 138! 6 drivers reamain on track and we all thought that they finish, but WeSSy DNF on lap 306!! Too bad, because he was fighting for a gold! In thriler finish, hpr-Marian made it first, with 1:30 minutes advanatage over hpr-Drive! ars-Sm!e take bronze medal, and Mirosh was 5-th! Midnight Man didn't drove fast, but he made it to the finish, which make him a driver without limits too!

It was a very good event, although only 5 drivers finished, but it's endurance race, so it's not very easy to finish either.. My feedback is very positive, and I hope Jahombre make this event at least one per month! Also, it might be good to start little earlier, if that want be a problem for Jahombre, beacuse I think that we may get few drivers more if we start, let's say, at least at 22:00!.. Cause when we start at 23:00, we have race, quali, warmup, restart, and even maybe some problems to fix, so all this take this event to finish in the deep night of Saturday (actually it's Sunday morning already ), and I don't remember last time when I was awake on Saturday late night that I wasn't drunk That's just my thought though, cause I will love to see that these 500 miles races live it up, and even have Championship too! So hope too see next 500 miles soon, and as always, a lot of drivers too!
Cya soon 500-miles-racers!

500 miles on TM2 - RR Indy Legends

Ladies&gentleman, RRR friends&partners, parents&relatives, pets&aliens, RRR team proudly present FIRST 500 MILES RACE on TM2: Canyon game! It's 23-th Indy Legend race in the row, but first on TM2 game, so all you lovley people who lke this game and this team too, come and join us for this, already, epic event!

What's all about you ask? First of all, you must show on Saturday night! Everything else is less important.. Race start at 23:00! Yes, it's little late, but that's traditon for this kindf of events, so try to convince your boyfriend&girlfriend/husbands&wifes/mum&dad that you have a very important things on late Saturady night!
For all of you how already play TM2 Championship here, rules are simple.. There's a quali season, and PIT mod during a race, but newcomers need to know first some rules before they start this event.. On 23:00 start quali season no.1. It's 10 minutes of driving which you 'warming up' for the race.. After that starts quali season no.2. In this seasion everybody goes to Spectator Mode, and then organizer of this event (Jahombre) will ask each driver to exit from Spec mode and to drive.. Order how drivers will drive this quali no.2. seasion is simple! It will be form worst to best driver based by the time that they get in quali season no.1.
You are driving only 2 laps in this quali season.. After you exit form Spec mode , and start racing, you go straight to the PITS (we explain PITS later), and you fuel for 10 minutes , and then drove that lap (called Pit Lap).. After that you are in second lap (call Hot Lap) and this lap is count for a GRID, so try to do your best here! After that second lap is over, you again go to Spec Mode, and wait for other drivers to finish..
One note here!! It may happen that there want be a quali seasion no.2., so after finishing Quali seasion no.1. we go straight ahead to the race, and your GRID number is place that you have in Quali seasion no.1.! Organizer (Jahombre) before Quali no.1. will tell if there will be Quali seasion no.2.!
After finishing Quali seasion no.2. (or just no.1.) it's time for a race! First there's a Warm Up lap, which you can or don't have to drive.. After next restart , real race is starting! First lap is intro lap, and here you must follow Safety Car! You don't go in PITS on this lap!! In intro lap try not to cross Start/Finish line, and place yourself before that line, and wait for a GRID to show! After some time, GRID will show and you have a look from top-down perspective.. If other cars interfere with your car, turn off Oppoments Show button, so that you can only see your car.. Place yourself in GRID position that you have acquire in Quali seasion no.2.. You will have about 30secs to do this, so try to position your car in time! After that, GRID is no longer shown, and your perspective is now back for a race look.. If you disabled to show oppoments, you can now turn on this, so that you can see other cars that are on the GRID.. Then you wait for red lights to show, and after all red lights go off, offical race is starting! Then you immediately go to PITS to fuel yourself.. Few words about this amazing PITS..
There's 3 PITS choice here! 10min, 20min and 30min of fuel.. Fuel means minutes here, so you are spending minutes, not real fuel, so no matter are you driving or not, minutes are using and passing.. For 10min of fuel you must stay in PIT for 6,5 secs, for a 20min of fuel you stay 18,5 secs, and for a 30 min of fuel you stay 30 secs.. Camera look will be change while standing in PIT, and please do not go eariler from PIT, but wait when you here "GO, GO.." and when your camera is back to your car! Last thing you should know about PITS, if you are fueling for a 20 or 30 minutes, that you may enconuter Tyre Wear problem.. On 15 minutes from 20 minutes fuel, and on 20minutes of 30 minutes fuel, you will come across to a shaking screen! This means that your tyres, allegedly, are getting worse, but that's only illusive trick! Your car preformace is still good, just that shaking screen is a nice trick so that you may think that your tyre aren't good.. (We are trying to make this mod look like a simulation )
It's not hard to drive while screen is shaking, but after some minutes shakings can be a little harder, so may cause you a little bit a problem to drive, but most of us are already get used for that, so you will not having problem either! After your fuel (minutes) are getting close to zero, you will need to go to PITS again and fuel again..
We are driving 397 laps here!! And if avarage lap is around 17-18 secs, and you tank for a 20minutes, you will make almost 70 lap with that fuel.. Tactics? See for yourself (or ask best driver ) Track? It's very simple.. It's like NASCAR track, just one big circle.. 4 same turns to the left side, and that's only you need to know..

And that's about it.. It may seem to hard for remember this rules about PITS and Quali, but it's very simple to follow, and there's always organizer here, who explain everything in Chat section.. Race will be long approximately 2 hours, so be prepare to knock yourself out with this event! It's not for anyone, but I dobuted that you will resist this invite and prove that you ARE someone!

Hope to see good numbers of drivers, and that we have a stabile host, and that everybody will enjoy this event! Practice server is already open, so find it (it's on flayer of this event with password too), so come and test track and PIT strategy, and than we see you all on Saturday night at 23:00

6-th GT Race - RootsLagos

Hi RRR drivers and friends!
We are at half of Championship, so this Sunday we are driving 6-th race this season on RootsLagos track! We have an excellent turnout, so I'm not doubting that we want have around 25 drivers again..
Hope to see you all, and hope our remasy will find a way to drive without using his middle finger Also, hope to see anyone with good connection too, so that we all have fun racing..



As you can see, this track is a long track, and it's around 1 minute, so you'll need it to remember good and be well prepered! PITS are on the left side right after Start/Finish line, and exit form PITS is just before turn no.2. Also it's a tricky exit, cause you may hit the wall in some corner there, so try not to lose any additional time while exiting PITS.. Turn no.1. and no.2. are easy turns, so try not to be rookie here (like me), and avoid mistakes Turn no.3. and no.4. are in combination, and you only need to pay attention while exiting turn no.4. on uphill not to tilt your car a lot, cause that may lead you to hitt the wall on the right side of the track, and than you will lose good speed! Turn no.5. is also an easy turn, so it will make you no problem there, but on turn no.6. on that chicane that lead you on uphill, try to be very near on the left side after entering chicane, cause you can easily go wide here and then hitting the wall on the right side.. Turn no.7. will make no problems for you friends, but combination of turn no.8, no.9, and no. 10. can make you a little problem.. It's a combination of right-left-right turns, on the uphill, which you can make your car tilt on turn no.9, or even hit the fence on the right side of the track in turn no.10. So you'll need to practice this combination, cause you may even DNF here! Last sector is tricky one too.. Nasty chicane on turn no.11, can give you a headache, cause you come on this turn right after jump, so it's hard to stabilize your car in time, ending up by hitting a wall there! After that it's almost an easy turn no.12. and then similar chicane like one before, on turn no.13. Also try not to hit wall cause you will lose speed.. Last turn is turn no.14. and it's a tricky one too, cause you must slide on the left side, but it's downhill, and, cause you have a good speed, your car can easily tilt here, so go very wide here and be almost near the left side of the track, then you can pass this turn properly, otherwise you can easily hit the wall..

As you can see, it's a long lap, and very demanding one, so you will need to be focus all race long! Hope to see another good race on this Sunday night, and that we spend another hour of racing in this amazing GT Championship!

5th GT Race Review - RootsMontyCarlo

Ok, no time to chit-chat, so I will be short and get right to the point
5 GT race is over, and now things are more clearer! Dome2012 DNF, so he 'donate' his win to Laurens, who now has a lead of 39 points over Dome..
It was a very good night again, with 26 drivers on the track, proofing that this GT Chamipionship is a excellent thing, and that after 5 races, is still amazing turnout of drivers! But there was 24 drivers on quali, cause MaSSa and remasy made it only at the start of the race!

Pole Position was surprisingly take by Mirosh, and WeSSy was second! In the second row, there was a Winner and Vesiapina! Leading drivers Dome2012 and Laurens, didn't make good hot lap, so Dome start at 16-th place, and Laurens form 23-th place!
Although it was much easier track than previous one, this track 'take' 7 drivers too! Some was because of bad connection(MaSSa, me..), someone due to lag (Dome2012..), someone with driving problems, but that's the 'fun' of playing online games

Cause Dome2012 went 'dark', Laurens take his third win in the row and making good progress in overall driver standings.. WeSSy and Winner were excellent here! They were second and third, just like they did on the Quali!! In the thriller finish fot the 4-th place, Jahombre make it as a winner there! With only +0.58 secs of gap over ARS-sm!e, he get his PB this season! 6-th place is taken by Icke, who was only +1.04 secs behind sm!e, and with only +0.58 secs of advantage over hpr-Marian! What a race in the last lap!!
AMP-scape got 8-th place, ADAC-Drive was 9-th and Haze was 10-th. Mirosh, with his Pole Position, end up at 11-th place in the end! Points are going to Quickies, CoolDriving, Sulfite, tbvivien, DarkMan, remasy, Krumel and MidnightMan, but 1 point goes to Vesiapina, cause he was on track longer than other DNFs, so he end up on 20-th place, and with one point in his pocket!

As told before, Laurens now has a big lead over Dome2012 (160-121 pts), so Dome need to give his best in next races if we wanna get Laurens! In Top 5 races, there's Wessy on 3-rd place (87 pts), and his teammate Icke on 5-th place (79 pts), and ARS-sm!e in the 'middle' of them on 4-th place (85 pts)! Very good progress is made by Jahombre, who is now in the battle for a bronze medal too! He is on 6-th place and has 75 pts! At the bottom, only 2 drivers is without points! BVB (who was at 2 races), and kenz who never start this season! Hope to see them too, very soon..
In Team Championship, Amplified has a lead with 210 points, RedDevil is on second place with 180 pts, and with Roadrunners on 3-rd place with 166 pts, other teams don't have chance to fight for a podium (so far as seen), but still 7 races to come, so many cards yet to deal..

It's already Thursday, so practice week is on almost 4 days now, so no time to stay here and read this, cause you'll need to prepare yourself for a Sunday night!

5 GT Race - RootsMontyCarlo

Long time no see/read drivers
Anyway, this Sunday we are alreday at 5 GT race on this already legendary Championship, and this track is a bit easier than the last one, so I think that there will be few, or maybe none of DNF!



On the left side right after Start/Finish line are Pits, and exit from the Pits is a behind one turn and right before when you go on turn no.2 on litlle downhill.. Also turn no.1. is easy turn, so you will not have lot of problem with this one turn, just try not to hit the wall while exiting it! Turn no.2. it's not so hard as it is sneaky one, cause if you don't go wide here, you may end up in the air and hitting wall , and even maybe end up on roof! So try to go wide here, and not to go in jump mode! Turn no.3. can be decived one, cause if you try not to slide here, and make it thru with the full throtlle, you may hit the wall in exiting it, but this turn should not cause you any large problems! From here you go into the 'open' tunnels and coming in turn no.4. on the uphill.. This turn is no problem for me, so that means no problem for anyone On turn no.5. try to be near left side and don't worry if your car jump or tilt for a while, cause it can't do any damage..
Then it's downhill into the turn no.6. and if you start turning on time, you can pass it without slide and with the full speed! After that is long part, and then to the most tricky one on track! Turn no.7. is nasty chicane, and you come there on very good speed, and due that and low visibility of corner, you can end up hitting wall! If you succed this turn, there's turn no.8. right after that, so you need to conitnue your slide from turn no.7. And if you do that, than you need to continue to the turn no.9. and then uphill from there.. This turns are hardest part on the track, so you need to pay attention there, cause you can lose lots of time there! Last turn no.10. isn't hard, but try not to hit the wall while exiting it! So, long story shorted: don't jump on turn no.2. and stay focused on turns no.7,8,9!!

After 4 races Laurens is in the lead with only 4 points of advantage over Dome2012 (125-121), so main focus will be their fight for the gold crown of this Chamiponship.. Also Team Chamiponship is good too! Amplified is in the lead (Laurens-scape) with 5 points advantage over Red Devils Team (Dome2012-Winner), but RoadRunner and now miniMAX Team are still trying to keep with them..
So, MONTYCARLO race is on practice week already, so try to spend little time practicing it, and hope to see you all on Sunday night at 19:30!!
