Hey Hey Let's Rollin for today.. hehe.. I don't aim for the phone, i just want have fun with the sim. LoL! Never in my past play sim with steering & force-feedback bucketseat. Kinda really fun with them! I wish i have one at my home.. wahaha.. i start come everyday since my first trial last wednesday. It change course everyday. Last friday syiok! all assist OFF except transmission and clutch. i also got free run with no times record. The owner of the sim, set force-feedback of the wheel at maximum.

so who's quickest till now for today?

huhu i just clocked at 1:38:xxx, far behind the leader mr.Tang who's clocked at 1:27:xxx. i don't know how he can do that superfast time with those spun tires if throttle alot. maybe he got lucky ran with assist like traction control ON.. hehe i just newbie with rFactor. just start played last Wednesday only =.=! The track for today is Sardian Heights Long. Tight and confusing me when reach corner. Anyone here close with that 1:27:xxx time?

Last time my friend also kena, he already hold best time from noon till around 8pm, then a new friend there told that my friend time beaten already with 7 secs. He told that something error happened with the system and need to restart OS, then Nokia Staff who's that time in-charge replace the owner of the sim system, the staff forgot to turn off assist. The be beaten like that. lol! Unlucky & unfair hihihihi.

And Others who have fun today, what the time you all get :-)

what car they used for the race?

i think it's ford falcon v8 supercars

Sardian Long eh? Might take a shot tomorrow

different track different day

demit

trust me, what your are feeling is nothing...there is no FFB, the only thing that you felt was the G27 degree limiter... I don't know what they were thinking setting up like that..

What was enabled was Spring Centering...thats all...that is what you felt...

Nop! Nop! the once, when no other player on the stage, i got free run at orchard lake. That run just for fun not counting for time attack. i ask the owner to set the FFB to the max and all assist turning off.. Hell yeah.. it's quite fun, but ya for sure, too much ffb doesn't suit like in reality. :-)

In the time attack run, haha.. the wheel so light! hehehe.. so it's easy to do mistake by ffb bucket seat shake your body and arm..

Since i'm not familiar with simulator, what ever setting they gave, i try to adapt my self as quick as possible. It's kinda same like in real world when you drive another car, another car and another car. We compare and analysis the different, collect data and improvise our self to suit the setting.

hehehe.. TIme for bath!!

even if he put 100% FFB in rFactor, there is still no FFB in the wheel...

if he didn't ALT-Tab and alter some settings, what you have is just increased resistance...that isn't FFB...

You won't win! Period....

why? because the winner has been determined early in the morning....

I got sufficient evidence of race prize fixing...will forward to Nokia Malaysia...

"adik, kawan menang" hmmmmm....


This is a challenge to the winners who's name shamefully appeared as the fastest guy at that event! I challenge them! Come out and accept the challenge... Pre-determined win, I also can...

If their friends are reading this, let them know that antonio from Lowyat.net challenge them in a race or time trial using rFactor....any mods (V8, F1, GT) any real-life tracks... Let's see if they really are that good to win...

...rfactor lol...real life car needs only one car...if rFactor we can use a lot of cars....

hehe i in real life doesn't have any car, but.. i love test drive cars and 2nd but, i not test the car speed, i test the handling and car characteristic. not in SIC, but in tight old hill road. It not a race, just fun drive because mostly all my test drive car stock & standard. and here you will see i drove a very weak Proton Persona Auto Transmission as stock from Manufacture and equip with err.. Good Year NCT 5 only, had some fun with others which most of them already tuned their car.

Back to Sim story, first day i came Low Yat, after bought some stuff at viewnet, i say the simulator at lobby. That time i don't know what is game they playing, i wait about 20minutes for my turn. The 20minutes i used to watch others had fun with the game and in the same time i learn the track. i haven't any experience about simulator especially with steering wheel and ffb bucket seat. before my turn come i went out to had some cigarette. Then come my turn, i try my luck. time to beat is 2m06s. after exit pitstop, i try to learn the game characteristic. dang! went over sand field. it's okay time still not count, i drove cruise at the course and try increase speed around corner with some little late braking. Then the time start count. The time 2:06 to beat, but that time i don't think i can win that time because zero experience in sim. I just play the game just like how i drive a real car. i adapt it slowly. reach finish line i clocked at 1m55:4xx. i beat a person who got simulator at home with diy ffb bucket seat which his first run clocked at 2:06. then because i too excited with the sim with that ffb bucket seat i do try my 2nd run. i tried more aggressive, but dang!! i do some little mistake understeer at one corner and 2nd mistake i failed to re-stabilize the body-roll(tail happy) of the car before the finishing. But i still clocked at 1:25:7xx. The guy 2:06 who's have simulator at home come and try his 2nd run, if you were him you sure also not syiok see newbie like me beat your time easily like that. His 2nd run clocked close to my time, 1m56:xxx. Then we start talk each other.. bla bla bla.. then suddenly he go in again for 3rd time, then i become nervous. omaigoat! i tried ask the crew to register for 3rd run, haha.. player registration already close, and he was the last driver for that day! and Good of him! he beat my time at 1m54:9xx. and he got Lumia phone. hehehe..

so the simple conclusion is, if a newbie like me in simulator can made other experience sim player wet, why not others can make you wet. For me it just only games, win or lose normal. I always hold on this word " Being Fast doesn't mean you are fast enough, there are always others who faster than you". Just relax la okay. i also lose for 5 days already.. hahaha why so serious just having fun only. I collect T-Shirt and Umbrella already happy.. hahaha

nice story...probably he is a legit winner....

But i'm not talking about legit winners....I'm talking about the fastest guy on 2 other days happens to be the 2nd or 3rd guy to register (in the morning)

What happen to you and what you experienced was "adaptation"..... trust me...join us, and I can guarantee you will laugh reading what you mentioned below after a year or so..




Is not about win or lose, its not about being fast or slow....Its about the competition....In your case, you probably had to compete with a casual sim racer that may or may not perform on that day.....his first time wasn't enough and then after you overtake the timing, he returned and managed to bang a lap that is quicker than you...

In my case, the yardstick was already set, fine...no problem...a fellow of mine (a seasoned sim racer) drove the second time and was 0.2 seconds slow than the best time of the day...I had a mistake on the 2nd sector which resulted on a spin and damaging the car..... It was clear that the fastest time of the day wasn't set by a newbie or beginner... I took a picture of the name on the screen and had asked the amoi who was there working at the registration....I asked her about how many times you can try, how would the winner be contacted and small talk....when I wanted to drive the simulator, I asked her where is the fastest guy name, because on the paper his name doesn't appear to be there... Then she said, owh his name is behind...and when I wanted to flip the page, she block my intention by putting the palm on the registration sheet... owh ok I said in my mind....

Then after filling up I let it go for about a minute or so then I asked her again...Only this time, I ask herself to check for me, "when did the fastest man did his time", she checked the sheet closely BUT I managed to peek at it using a James Bond-ish trick.... I saw it, it was the second guy of the day... then she flipped the sheet back and says to me, "Dia olang nombor dua register, dia datang pagi tadi"

Come on man....2nd man of the day set the fastest lap of the day??? Ok fine...probably he's good....and his name was Matthew S******** **e

Ok fine...no problem.....

Next day....another seasoned sim racer (I know him well and raced with him for the past year) went to LYP to have a try....This time the fastest time was also set in the morning..the 3rd registrant...The name at that time was R*** T*** Owh come on! If Nokia has payed the contractor to do an event and give out phones, just do your damn job lar....Dun try to keep the phone to yourself! You already got payment from the event, now keeping the phone to yourself? What nonsense is this....Using a platform that we sim racers love and raced for the past 6 years (not only us in Malaysia but the whole world) for their business (ok no problem) and making profit while at the same time, try keep the prizes from Nokia for themselves? This is ridiculous man....

Owh ya...the R*** T*** fella and the M******* is close companion with the event contractor of the sim....I'm writing an official complaint to Nokia Malaysia and as a former journalist in the media line, I know my sources when it comes to complaint...

But...I will do it, after the 2 names doesn't respond to my challenge by Friday....these were the fastest guy for last Friday and Saturday event....after reading this, the event contractor can try to save their business by changing the registration sheets, alter the winner name or whatsoever...BUT, it wont help...whats done is done... I have evidence...try to PM me explaning and try to bribe with the phones also I won't care....

I don't care about losing....I don't care if I dont get the phone. Now I just want the fastest guy, R*** and M****** to appear and lets do a side by side race or time attack....I can't believe that they were the quickest...

And no....even experienced sim racers don't make me WET....where in Malaysia does one feel he is good in sim racing, come and join

let me give a sample of how a seasoned sim racer drives....

http://www.malaysiansimracers.com/S8/R15/index.html

That is a race result....from there you can go to the Race tab next to Qualification....look at the times there.... those times weren't set by a beginner or newbies or even season GT5 players....Those times were set by people who dedicated countless hours in making sure they are quick in the race....

Sim racing is 1% luck 99% experience and practice...so 'assuming' those who are the quickest in the Nokia Challenge isn't a beginner or newbie, they will no problem of accepting my challenge

Wow!!!! Don get any personal bro... Just a discussion only.... Chill up bro.....

I'm a chill...

when wanna join us in the server?

Wow!!! Means I also a very lousy driver since i won a lumia 610? I come for last minutes and beat my new friend takashi87 which is I know him on that day. I really don know how Nokia predetermined winner since got so many challenger on that day... If u really a good driver u can beat the time on the spot like me.... If u can't don say pre-determined. If u say about pre-determined then I also a pre-determined winner also right? If got anyone at the roadshow that day I was wearing a company uniform which is working as a property agent now.... And I'm working full time not work with Nokia Malaysia or something....

Before u say about pre-determined winner see what is going on 1st.... Don say about this when u can't win any prize...

The truth is I clocked the fastest time on the day at last minutes and I won a lumia 610 back home. For me I don see any unfair and fishy competition or roadshow challenge.

Did I mentioned something about 'lousy driver'?



Like I said before...you did the fastest on the last minutes of the event on Thursday or is it wednesday?....which was genuine as takashi87 was beaten by you....if my post offended you then I'm sorry as it wasn't at all my intention to hurt your feelings or disrespect your time...I dunno who put the idea in your head that I was "accusing" you as the pre-determined winner...

I mentioned that they were two names I put...Both have reasons to be close with the event contractor of the sim....those names were on the fastest driver board (or TV)... and both did it earlier in the morning...like heck, 2nd and 3rd registrant, yet post fastest time? Either they're really damn lucky that they mastered both car and tracks, or other drivers were idiots including myself.... well or just simply were 'unlucky'...

but, if you understand correctly, what I'm saying is, luck isn't a part of the event....it is supposed to see who can post the best time...but if a time was set early in the morning (both of them coincidentally) then, I have my doubts....Hence I posted a challenge to them...It wasn't targeted at people who genuinely won....



Whatever truth you want to believe is up to you...You won, you got the phone, enjoy

You can't see things you dont understand....No need to elaborate on this cause I don't see any point to do so except showing to other people that you are on the organizer's side..

p/s: The last event at Midvalley also got 3 supposedly winners....where are they? who are they? I can say one of them is me but where is my phone? Until today, we haven't got any calls... we haven't got any sms saying where or when to pickup the prizes.... If I alone didn't get the calls or sms i can understand, maybe during registration I wrote down so ugly that they cant read my phone number....

But 2 others also received no phone calls or sms....funny???



If you really serious you can have one activation from me ....head on to https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2395108 for details of Season 15...
