Oh Duke... you should really empty out your inbox so that I can PM you...
but it wasn't all for naught...
Kyle, really wish I could take that message back. The word critisism was mocking me as I released my mouse key...
Also, if allowed, I can and will include some pics from the first three rounds. Forgot to mention that in the message.

Some pics are always welcome. I think honestly in-race shots (as opposed to practice, etc) were hard to come by I think for Monza. It seemed it is defintely not a racey, side-by-side track.
Don't forget you can also make an album (see my profile, it has one) and post pics there. But do it how you want.

I want to keep the OP clean for league informational purposes, as was the intention of this thread. Feel free to post it again here, sorry to delete, I should have moved it to another post. I think it is good to use this thread as we go, but the OP should have all league information handy, next upcoming race, standings, etc... it was way too busy and tough to find anything.

Any way you can increase this limit a bit more?

So here's my thing on the paint. I see two options:
1) Use the black base with light blue. This means the light blue stays on the headlights, the big stripe on the side, etc. (Not sure about the halftones). The main changing color would be the striping (which for the most part on the current theme is orange.
2) Use two different paints and try and keep teams to one or the other. This would mean 1-2 teams use the blacks, 1-2 teams use the whites.
I've had a lot of people tell me the whites are really nice, and I must say, I really really like it, too.

"Why not both?"
But I do believe it would be best if the teams were different, especially if we could get a Practice Pals car or something as well. That said, different can be almost anything, so even if one team changes the stripe, that's still a 'simple' three paint schemes right there for the three teams.
I do need to address one thing O/T from the paints, though, just as a heads up. Throughout the course of the race, things happen, and I understand getting frustrated at one person or another. It happens in races all the time and I'm both guilty myself, and unfazed when others do it in the moment.
HOWEVER, please keep in mind that these races are both being streamed live AND being recorded for use on Youtube. PLEASE don't spend, dare I say waste, other peoples time telling them what happened to you outside of just telling them to beware of an agressive driver and his number. 1.) its distracting to the other drivers in TS who are trying to focus, and 2.) comments like this start to appear;

I tried to edit as much out, and most of it was fine. Crude humor and prodding I also do not have a personal problem with, but that's just me. I'm someone who likes to keep the moral up. That said, I would prefer personal complaints and comments about other drivers to be dealt with between you and the other drivers.
If this continues to be an issue, then I'll have to back out of TS, which I think would be unfortunate. I think most of the commentary over the last few races keeps the video's light and interesting. I'm not asking for PG or even PG-13. Just need to keep the comments about other drivers to a minimum.
Thanks.

You hit the nail on the head zac. In no circumstance should you be trash talking other drivers during a race, whether about them or to them. Save it for after, preferably only in a protest, or otherwise talk to the driver directly or shut up.
Aside from simply pointing out potentially dangerous drivers, there should really be nothing to say in regards to others mistakes. I agree one hundred percent and this should be resolved immediately.

I've been practicing default weather at Road Atlanta. I may put up a server tonight or tomorrow night for any interested. If anyone has or plans on doing laps, what times are you guys getting? I'm hitting mid 1:24s consistently. It seems brutally slow.
I want to like atlanta but I can't. I strongly dislike it more with every visit. I think the biggest impact on my time too is turn 7.

Added a quarterly update, 'from the team', to the blog after the first three rounds!
Hope you enjoy!

I'll catch you again in a while. Have you bought any tracks or cars yet? Just wondering if you'd be able to participateYes, and to answer your poke, nope i wuzn't
I think my fastest lap so far was a 1:24, so given my handicap, I should think 1:20's are more then possible. jmo. I'll be on in about an hour or so.
