Very unfortunate PF...we had some great races tonight! (nothing to do with me winning more than usual )

Is it not about time we started a separate website or at least forum for British players of this game? We are at 81 pages of "Anyone playing", "What IP?", "How do I start a server", "How do I download the game", etc, etc, etc.... The useful information is being lost in the fog and the BSF bandwidth is being, quite frankly, wasted by this. As far as I can see, if a UK league is started, this is only going to get worse. I am likely to be getting a dedicated server for an unrelated project in the near future, and would be happy to give some space to a forum or site for this game, but until then...Does anyone have a good suggestion for a free forum host that we could use as I really don't have any knowledge of forum hosts.

Anyone racing just now? If not...anyone want to race just now? PM me and I can try and set up a server...no guarantees that I will succeed though

Any chance of the result being posted on here?

Serious addiction problem there, Spook!!!

I bet BSI would be right P'd off if the three Brits got through!! Here's hoping PePe can do it all over again....I'm sure he'll be a star in the GP next year

And my ability to hit the grass has to be seen to be believed as well

You can find that at : sound\raceend.wav

Indeed, what IS in a name...The track in the game is actually Shiefield, unless my version is different

I figured that it might be better to start racing against some Brits that didn't have much experience, or wait a few weeks/months with regular practice before I took on the Poles What sort of lap times are those guys doing on the various tracks?

Have you tried the downloads from WinAce.com? last time I checked, which was a while ago, the downloadable version allowed for a 30 day trial period. That just sounds like you need to download WinAce as well... mikowhy - Do you have any instructions for creating new tracks, or links to download other tracks? Racing the Polish circuits is good, but I'd prefer the more technical UK tracks

How good is the network play feature? It looks like it could be quite good fun to race against some others

Although Theo Pijper is listed in the scorers for this meeting, according to the Monarchs Chatzone he spent the weekend in Edinburgh... Anyone know who actually took those two rides?

You mean...pin yourself right on the white line (but not over it) and don't even think of moving away from it?? From what I saw, the worst offender for not noticing that seemed to be Nicki....

Yeah, but dropping back down to the Premier League with Kings Lynn in 2007 seems a bit too soon for him.

Totally agree. Scott takes a load of criticism on here for not wanting it enough, yet when he forces his way past an opponent he is castigated for his efforts.

I realise that you have lost your own team, but to become a Coventry fan...shame on you!!! Still, better than a Wolves fan, I suppose

chose If that's the way you read the situation then fair enough. It seems rather sad that you suggest a complete impartiality of one of the best referees in the world... The way that I saw it, Scotty hit Matej going down the straight as Matej took a very slow and unusual line. I think Matej could easily have held on to the bike, but chose to lay it down. I guess I must be wrong because all the experts disagreed with me, but that's the way I saw it. What did you make of Crump's move on Bjarne in the other semi??

Funny, I thought Tony got both of those decisions right. Nicki held his line in the race with NKI and Iversen tried to go where Nicki already was. To exclude Nicki for just holding his line would have been very ahrsh in such a situation. As for the Scotty/Zagar incident...as I said on the other thread, Zagar got a relatively small hit on the straight and bailed out. If he can't hold on to the bike in such a situation he shouldn't be in the GP. Bjarne took much worse in the other semi final and still stayed on his bike! The one decision I thought Tony got wrong was the race to the line between Nicki and Bjarne...

Totally disagree. I'm a big fan of Zagar, but he got a relatively small bump going down the straight...If he can't handle that then he doesn't deserve to be in a GP final. Several riders took much worse hits on the straight during the meeting and didn't flop to the floor, the worst of them probably being Bjarne in the other semi final. I have to say that the track really didn't deliver the goods tonight. Pinning yourself to the white line seemed to be the only way to go for most of the night!

Seems a bit harsh on your boys there! Wroclaw have been pretty impressive this year and even if they are better than you, it surely doesn't mean you can't be second best! Have Czestochowa and Rzeszow not both lost at home to Wroclaw this season? Do they not deserve to be in the top 4 either?

Looks a tough one for Polonia. Do you think that they can do it, Matt? I guess the fitness of both PePe and Jason could be key to this result...

I don't disagree that Middlo has limited resources, but to suggest that the Poles had more to choose from is a little unfair. Considering who the Polish manager actually had to choose from, I think that the two nations were fairly equal....possibly even things were in Middlos favour....The Poles used two riders who were clearly unfit in the race-off, which probably backs up this argument... What is clear is that on a track like Reading, the Brits and the Poles were always fighting a losing battle....

Maybe one year Britain will host the World Cup and hold the final at a track that works for our boys? Who didn't bet on the Danes as soon as the Final was announced as being held at Reading? We need to look at the way the Poles worked things last year and learn some lessons....
