Who, and what league?

Judging by the game and track, it has to be Taki Inoue.
Judging by 2008 performance, Nelsinho Piquet .

That's a bit mean, i remember some of your F1C performances

So do I , but I remember my steering wheel failures and getting punted often and then no restarts being made (and the Silverstone angry madness that followed!). The forum was awesome though :P

Ooh, the Silverstone drama was good. I still have the forum somewhere, i just can't remember where i have it hosted :S

A little interview about Ferrari Challenge with Bruno, he also mentions GP4

Gui, you can't complain about anyone's driving. Ever. In one of the few rF races I had, you started a couple of rows behind me and just shot through off the line, punting people into the wall and onto the grass.

And your lack of ability in GPL is stuff of legend.

Well, in fairness, i did once spin him round the hairpin at Monaco.

...although i was lapping him, and he practically stopped

Gav, you weren't there so kindly stay out (and I was punted off 3x, I behaved mostly fine in F1C except for a laggy Monaco where I hit 2 guys and at Silvy that I mentioned before).

In rF it was the 79 mod, wasn't it? I recall being blamed for stuff despite not having touched anyone and done T1 without going off-track or locking up or anything. I was also smashed onto by someone else from the trl forums but I still got bashed for it.

You complain about others, yet when you spoil the races of others all the excuses come out. That I wasn't in that particular race doesn't suddenly make my opinion any less valid.

It was the '79 mod. And I wasn't blaming, I was telling. Being kind, the only good thing you did in the first lap was launch off the line well. It was awful driving.

on the contrary, if your hearing second hand comments from that race from not being there yourself then its not your opinion, its others

But I have plenty of first hand experience of racing Gui. I never said "GUI IS TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING" of anything like that, just that it's completely hypocritical of someone who's spoiled the races of so many in the races we've both been in to complain about his own being spoiled.

To end this subject... Gav, I didn't come out here complaining, I stated it afterwards and when it was me I always apologized regardless of having a chance of avoiding or not, something that didn't happen in the other league. And pretty much all I'd do is ask for a restart if there were 5 or more cars involved total.

Gui was pre-banned from the leagues Morbid and I tried to put together for TRL because the standards were so bad. Anyone with Guis standard automatically forfeits the right to complain. Been on the end of too many moronic accidents throughout VT2/3 and get-together races to listen to that rubbish.

On topic for moment. During my trial of iRacing -



Gavs assesment is correct. It is 5am Jrs time, and he is racing online.

Gee, the way you and Gav talk it makes my driving sound as bad as yours!

I want to see when the Cart 97-99 mod is out how we'll compare to Dario Franchitti and others

Not sure how you'd compare yourself to Dario when racing against the AI, but sure. You do know my screenshot is online, against the real Dale Earnhardt Jr...right?

well I'd imagine that somewhere you trl guys could release some lap times for some tracks, and once the mod is out we can see how close we get to them as well as real life tracks compared to 1997-99 times. And yes, I saw the screenshot and that's pretty cool, super close times . I never expect to race anyone like that online not only because I rarely ever play(ed) offline but even less online, it's just nice to see numbers and compare/wonder

Gui was the test driver of my BMW Sauber Team in F1CS and I cant really see any bad standard of driving or moronic incidents or whatever from him

Apart of the fact that hes slow, he has been useful providing countless testing laps for the team
