I have X-Box live now. I forgot that Toca Race Driver 2 has online racing.



I jump in on a quick race come in 3rd. I figure that is pretty good for not having played the game for close to 4 months.



I decide to jump into a 10 race series. Its full of Brits. First race I stay clear of the leading pack running in 5 of about 12 cars. Toward the last 1/2 of the last lap I move in on them and 3 of the 4 wreck. I come in 2nd.



This seemed to piss off a few of them. They then decide to push me when ever they can.



What pissed me off was one of them making a comment that my driving lines suck. But, he is basically running into the sand traps at the end of every long straight.



I end up coming in at the back of the next 3 races as they play demolition derby with me.



By the last 2 races I decide to hand back a little. One of the Brits does the same making sure I stay out of the race. He makes a mistake at the beginning of the last lap I get by him and run away from him cathing the leading pack. But, one of them goes after me and takes me out.



Last race:



I decide to stay mid pack and drive defensively. On the last lap 3 turns from the finish I am in 4th place and one of the wankers decides to put his front bumper into my rear and push me off the track in the braking zone for a hairpin. I got on the brakes early and hard and stayed on them until I was almost stopped then punched it and took off around the turn. I saw the wanker go off the road and into the sand. Right as I got with in 50 feet of the finish line in 4th place I hit my brakes hard with him behind me and he rear ended me.



He called me a ******* american..... sadly the only one in that series.



I guess this was my welcome to X-box online racing.



Now I just have to figure out how to trigger the mike so I can banter back at them.

ah yes online racing. i race as cleanly as i can, bumper cars isn't fun

Give em the Holy Hand Granade.

ahh yes, i used to play Toca 2 Challege on the PC a few years ago. Fun game.

Anyone know how to toggle the mike on to talk??

I think it's either the black or white button on the right.

on XBL you hit the big black button where the headphone plugs in. you will see a green light for on, red for off

Bah the mic does not work on either handset. I think its because I tweeked the buttons to a custom setup. I will reset them to default.



I got booted from a race because my rating was too low. LOL!! I came in 3rd in the race previous before they booted me. I was driving around them t-boned into the walls with their 2000+ rating.



I need a mic so I can tell these Mofo's off.

Jim- They sell a little speaker communicator thingy that plugs into the x-box controllers. No use for some gay looking headphones now. It should run you 20-25 bucks I believe. You can pick it up at Wal-Mart or a game store.



Anyhow, back on topic. Damn ******' wankas.

I went to England for a 2 weeks. If you can ever go there, dont !

Live for speed is 10 times than TOCA and Gran Tourismo, a steering wheel is essential though. S2 will be out shortly and it looks amazing. http://www.liveforspeed.net/



EDIT: BTW it's solely based around for online racing.

I feel a force feedback wheel in my very near future.



I just looked over the website and it looks very good. I am gonna download a demo and give it a spin.

Maybe I should warn you now that it's incredibly addictive. Even has drag racing for you Goddamn Americans!



Mark

I dont drag race I prefer Road Course, I am a huge F-1 fan too. I think 1/4 mile racing is boring.



I saw the Autocross course that is pretty trick. It looks like you can design your own courses to practice on too.



The game looks pretty good.

yeah i'm going to have to buy that

I've been playing LFS for a long ass time, still getting used to a wheel on patchH though. I havent bought it just played demos but its still good.
