MSM Renault V6 Clio Cup

well to everyone who does race in either lobby good luck and all the best

Thanks Si good luck in the 9.00pm.

I wasn't able to recover my final time I'm afraid so I'll have to go down as a dnf. I think it was late 55 early 56 but I'm not sure and don't just want to make a time up. I was too eager to save the replay thinking that would be good evidence but it didn't record the whole race! Never mind, always next week

Was bad luck Mark you would have won that lobby convincingly. I had a great race with ID and Bobbo lets hope the 2nd lobby have as much fun as I did.

Would have done better but took aero/clutch damage early on, and engine damage from lap 17 so here's the top 3 results from lobby 2:

Warspite: 56:19
SnippetyOggy: 56:22
Goodwin 56:26

Well done guys, brill results

Pleased with my position considering how much I was off road in the 2nd half of the race congrats to Chris for the win and the rest of PNUK seen to have done themselves proud too.

14th for baz I'll make that up no problem well done Chris and Goodwin and what happened to si? Maybe I'm not so slow after all

On a side note, madmanmark won the first race by a distance albeit he ended up somehow being on his own and he has been given a dnf because he could not ratify his time which I find extremely harsh although understandable. There is a time on completed leaderboards of "59:?" which is surely then an unratified time? Can someone please explain this to me. Not trying to be a nuisance just want clarification please. This is nothing personal as I've ever met the guy with above time. Sorry

Yes well done chris and to all of ours there were more of them than us so we did well. Just need to get ready for next race hehe.

Definatly need to find out there ruling for back markers in the clio series as vampira in our lobby caused dmg to chris and held up and blocked me and oggy for a bit aswell even though he were a lap down. And there were a guy spectating that caused lagg for the whole lobby everytime I got near oggy his car was juttering on the screen so I couldn't give him a race just had to hang back.

I can take a look at the replay to see if Vampira was blocking and send him a message if that's the case. I believe if it occurred it would have been before the half hour mark, which is when the replay tends to cut off.

Baz, I am unsure what leaderboard time you're referring to. I don't believe FM4 actually tracks a "total" time on the leaderboards for an individual event. Unfortunately, once a driver has been lagged out of a lobby, there's really not much else we can do to verify their time. As Mark mentioned in his comment, even the reply cuts off before the end.

Finally, I understand there was possibly some lag in the second lobby. We actually had some issues in our official MSM race Saturday with the same thing, with no spectating drivers. I think it's possible my connection has been a little wonky recently and caused that issue. If we see the same problem next weekend, I'll look to have someone else host the late lobby.

The time I'm referring to is race #1 results post about 4 posts above this one. The person who finished 20th has a posted time of "59:?"

Sorry for the confusion. I actually didn't get Wally's total written down in time, but I know it was 59 minutes +. He was lapped during the race by at least 5th place, so he was 2+ minutes back from that time, putting him at 20th. I apologize I didn't get his exact time down, but he's in the proper place overall.

Looks like his full time wasnt recorded but since he finished the race behind 18o5 we can place him in that position. Sometimes people take photos so we are able to then update the timings.

Typically if someone disconnects from the lobby its classed as a dnf - almost as if it were a mechanical failure unless they can provide a screenshot of the completed time. Either ways not ideal. Everyone puts alot of time n effort in so dont want to dnf through no fault of your own, but then a solo race can be an advantage since theresno traffic

Bottom line is that without a completed time screenshot theres not alot that can be done.

ok guys it`s cool . no worries.

boredom got the better of me baz, unfortunately the way it panned out i pretty much had 18 hot laps but hey ho, can`t be helped and hate that track plus wasn`t quick anyway.
congrats chris, just awesome as usual. well done to everyone in second lobby for incident free race from what i saw and i feel for you mark!
also well done scott and the rest of pixel peeps.

race in the same lobby as me next week SI cos i was exactly the same

I was going to take a photo but my phone had run out of battery!!!...bloody technology!

sorry mark but that made me chuckle. got to laugh as when it all goes wrong like that you`ve got to see the funny side of it. as mentioned though i am gutted for you.

going to try to make it in time to be in first lobby this sunday but if im not back in time from taking little one home then will join the 9pm lobby and dom the guy who blocked etc did so towards end of the race if I remember correctly (could be wrong as it was a long race hehe) so I don't know if that will show up on replay.

I was able to address the blue flag issue with Vamps via PM and talked to him directly in our shoutbox. For his side, I think he felt communication could have been better, but I believe he understood the jist of the issue and expectations. With a TORA event upcoming he may be absent for a while on Sundays anyway.

If you ever feel like another driver from any team is creating an issue on the track, whether it's blocking, corner cutting, or excessive contact, feel free to send me a PM here or on the MSM forum. I try to follow up in a timely manner. If it's something that might incorporate a possible penalty, I'll have other people involved to make a ruling. It's rare, but it happens. With a 30 minute time limit, we don't always have video to review, but if more than one driver can corroborate the event, like this case, we can move forward on it anyway.

To be fair I never got damage from colliding with a driver 1 lap behind, the Aero was smacking the wall and the engine was downshifting too hard, there may have been some traffic to an extent, but nothing in the ways of "blocking".

It was a good race, and I enjoyed some PNUK MSM co-racing together.

Roll call for tonight please and can you say which lobby you will be racing ty all.
