From Race Control (that is me, Y2kGoofball)

Well the response has been great .. more than I was hoping for for our first season.

Sorry things have been going slow, but I have been working it out.

2 things ..

drivers and time

DRIVERS

I lost the list of drivers and teams at the moment.:") But I think I can remember most.

Can all drivers please send me a reply post with the following details ...

Name (either real or nickname on racerplanet like Y2k, Matt, Vq or something we will recognise you by).

Car/number - The real car you will be driving e.g. HRT number 1, oo motorsports number 00 etc

Team name - for those teams with only one car (which I think is everyone, except me and Matt in HRT) which will be your team name. You will have a car and a team name. Next year I will ask for all teams to make up a name and car colours, but we dont have time this season.

I have the following info ...

Name .................. Car ................... Number ................ Team Name
Y2kGoofball / Y2k ...HRT.....................1...................... HRT..............
Matt........................HRT................... ..2......................HRT
Kev / AM.................00 Mtrsprts.........00................. Aussie Muscle?
VQCapricedude / VQ.. GRM / Valvoline ...35............. ????????
Perko_Rules...........Ultratune...........24?..... ..............???????
Monaro.................Modified HYL.........02......................???????

I keep thinking there is one or two more I have forgotten but I cant remember. Sorry about the messyness of the above 'table'

TIME

I know I had schedueled a chat but I decided not to. If ANYONE wants to chat with me my new msn messenger email is y2kgoofball@hotmail.com. I am on Friday nights / Satuday nights, or email me at my new address aussieracesims@yahoo.com.au.

The time, which is still negotable will be as follows...

I will log on at around 8:20 and publish my isp on these forums, hopefullyt in a 'sticky' note. NOTE this will be removed prior to race so that my isp isnt viewed by too many unwanted people. You will be asked to log on through the v8 challenge server using that isp address as below.

8:30 to 8:45 PM

You are asked to be logged on between these times. I will have practise races on so you can fine tune your car and warm up.

8:50PM

All will be asked to meet in the main screen of the v8 challenge server thing. I will conduct a roll call of all drivers at 8:50 sharp. Anyone not present will be given a DNF.

8:50 to 8:58PM

All can chat and get ready for race one at 9:00PM sharp. I will, in blod letters announce "GET READY" on screen, and launch into the game.

RACE ONE will begin, as normal, 10 laps for a normal race, 15 for a longer race like Adelaide and 20 for BAthurst at the very end. This should only really take no longer than 20 minutes on most tracks, if not nomore than 30 mins.

10 min break will commence. I will ask all stay in the chat room. Then you can have a break, toilet ('pit') stop etc. After 10 mins Race two will begin, just like race one.

If it is a special event like Adelaide there will be no race 2.

After race 2, say about 9:45 to 10:00 at the latest the events will be over.

The results will be checked by Race Control (me), points calculated and put on a sticky (hopefully) here.

This will happen every TWO weeks, on a SATURDAY NIGHT.

With attendance, same as the rules posted at http://goofball.mysitespace.com under competition.

I think I still have to modify the rules which I will do.

If all is happy let me know via reply post and a date we can get started will b announced shortly.

Its gettin close!

Y2k:rolleyes:

Since 00 motorsport are not in-game officially, i run the 00 mtrsp on BETTA Racing, so if you could all install that so you know to look out for me.

I will conduct a roll call of all drivers at 8:50 sharp. Anyone not present will be given a DNF.

Dont you mean DNS? i would like to participate in this w/end's test run if you dont mind :P

I had a 'test run' of multiplayer last night, i was able to set up my own server and msn the ip address as you are planning. it works like that, but I had to turn off the firewall and everyone else disabled their firewall and morpheus &( or had their firewall setup correctly to let the lobby in/out.

Some Pre-Race Reteric:
The result? oh, there was 2 dnf and kev kicked ass, so i hope you guys are gonna offer some challenge.

Next year I will ask for all teams to make up a name and car colours, but we dont have time this season.

it only takes 30 minutes to do a quality team car, so doing your own would only need 5 mins. then that long again to download the pack of everyone's new skin......

Well I'll be VQ for GRM and team name VQ racing and if I make a skin It'll prolly be the new peter Brock one he's using 4 bathurst and the time it's abit late xcos MUm uses the comp 4 it and maybe on a Sunday morning after 10:00 once i'm awake. but i can't seem to race ne 1 yet tho so that is a problem

kev, sure you can join the pre-race test.

We will meet on MSN this Saturday at 8:20, or just a little before hand.

VQ We might have to make a consideration for you, and maybe you will have to race one of the guys on a Sunday (1 on 1) and I will slot your result in somehow.

Something we will have to work out, but I am sure we can manage. As for your skin, I dont know if you will have it done on time if I start it next Saturday?

Kev - As for your 00 motorsport can you pls send me the skin your using because there is like 150 million out there, so we all might as well look the same.

To make this work out really well we may need to trade skins and put them on the same car as everyone so we don't get the batty-boy ghost car crap. THAT PISSES ME OFF!

thanks mate, yes.

I should have made this date sooner BUT ALL SKINS need to be in by next Saturday when we race.

I am aware that Kevs will be Craig Lowndes on Betta electrical.

But we will sort that out on Saturday
