come at me lancer

[marquee]

I can't believe your comparing driving on gt5 to real life.

I'm not sure what happened but I wouldn't care who was behind me and just slow down if your not comfortable or if your getting pressured on the track drive off the track instead of going beyond your capabilities. Would of saved him and you some money

[MingZai]

Lolz that lancer is a es right?

Not sure , I don't really know the Lancer range... All I know is that it's a FWD...

come at me lancer

lolololololol

You can watch the video if your not sure...
I was comfortable and yes your right I could've driven off the track instead of taking the turn but that's why it's called an "accident". It happened due to it being an accident / luck where my rear wheel caught on the apex / gravel thus loss of traction. No sh#t if I was feeling uncomfortable I would've just driven off the track ect ect. It happened and I just took it as a learning experience and all.

Sorry but I don't see why I can't compare driving on GT5 to real life... You do realise GT5 is quite realistic in terms of driving... Out of all console “driving simulator games" I would say R Factor and 1 2 others and GT5 to be quite good except nothing beats R Factor. GT5 teaches you how to handle loss of traction, breaking points, driving line and throttle control quite well IMHO. Like I said a lot of those people who were out on the track that day who participate in cup racing and ect. agreed that GT5 does help. Of course it's nothing like real driving in regards to G force and the stability of the car but I think all those things make you a better driver.

You can disagree with me but from my personal experience and after just going out on the track I can indeed say it does help.

Not being cocky but results also mean something.

Hey mingzai. did u notice any difference in sound by installing the J's boxie? whoosh sound?

[MingZai]

Yoyoyoyo nah pretty much the same as Injen you don't hear much sound unless you surpass a certain RPM...

Car looks good mate, 1.52 at Winton is a great time especially with the CL9.
I think you should just think of what people are saying, there not having a go at you, just giving you something to think about that's all.
I remember my first outting at Winton, that was on a fun day and i shit you not, there were probably double the amount of cars there then what was at the last 2 Tampered Events (Im assuming you attended)
Don't feel all to bad about what happened, stuff like this happens, can be avoided but sometimes it takes just 1 second to bypass you and this can occur...
As you and other said live and learn mate, that's all there is to it..

Curious to know, i understand when you have an accident on the track there is no insurance, so you being at fault in this scenario did you come to an agreement with the other bloke that whatever it cost you'd give him $$$
Or is it basically, if you hit somebody, regardless, you don't have to fork out any $$$

Just always wondered (I don't mean to take advantage of your situation just wanting to know)
If you could clarify this mate, that would be great

[khanguskhan]

Some of the people I know, pretty much witnessed scenario's where people hit and pretty much just walk away. Because each individual pretty much covers their own ass, you can pretty much walk away and no one's really able to do anything about it, other than punch on.

[Rudy]

Damn.. i would never go to the track with other drivers on there. That lancer copped a shitload of damage.

[mrgu]

Come on guys that's life. Be positive

[Symphorced]

Damn.. i would never go to the track with other drivers on there. That lancer copped a shitload of damage.

+1. Just saw the video. I'd be pissed off if I was the Lancer driver. Having someone try to overtake and then lose control and hit your car like that.

Hey haha nah man everything's good
Yeah I don't feel too bad... I thought it was a good learning experience (the whole track day + the accident) and really took it in as just "driving experience".
I do take in everyone's advice and what not but ... just wanted to clear some facts first especially that GT5 comment ==.

Umm I would say like khanguskhan have said (and how other people have told me) you fork out for your own damage... I mean I guess if it's really really bad depending on who it is you can help pay for a bit or come to an agreement but I think most people would just acknowledge the damage / costs and then pay for their own and pretty much what is happening in my situation. I'm paying for my own damage.

Some of the people I know, pretty much witnessed scenario's where people hit and pretty much just walk away. Because each individual pretty much covers their own ass, you can pretty much walk away and no one's really able to do anything about it, other than punch on.

Yeah when I first asked all my mates (track regulars) that is EXACTLY what they said pretty much... word for word. You pay for your own damage and you pretty much signed that down on a piece of paper before you even go on the track.

Damn.. i would never go to the track with other drivers on there. That lancer copped a shitload of damage.

I spoke to the owner of the Lancer and the damage he received was a bent camber arm and damage to the quarter panel... and that's pretty much it (think some slight body kit damage too.)

Come on guys that's life. Be positive

POSITIVE ALL THE WAY

OK SO YEAH THANKS FOR ALL THE CONCERN GUYS! Awesome bunch of blokes (and girl if theres one reading ) but yeah I'm happy to share my build progress with you all...

I'm all positive about the accident except just my J's Racing bumper is being a pain in the ass in regards to arrival...

[mrgu]

What's the difference between gruppe m boxie and js boxie just wondering
