Hi Yesterday I drove my first race online on vroc What a blast !!!!!! The one thing I don't get is how in the world do you guys have time to chat while going 100+ miles an hour ? Do you have " sorry " and so programmed under a key or do you type real quick :) ?? Greetz Jinx
some have a programmed key for that purpose (especially for "np" or "ta") like me as I am using the wingman profiler. for that "sorry"-thing: I only use this button, if I am sorry for what happend behind or alongside me without being my fault. this could be a warping car hitting me when I get back on the track and I could not see it before or someone losing control of his car while trying to overtake me into a corner where I am going wide. when I am really guilty (when stupidity takes control ...) I usually type an explanation and beg for forgiveness by hand :-) Lio
Some people just type... try racing Ross MacGregor at Silverstone... he types running commentary on the race action he's involved in. Myself, if I even think of pressing a key on my keyboard I'm in the scenery, so I'm the silent type online (as long as I'm moving that is ;-)). Jan. ----

Or Roger Pointl... raced him at Spa about a year ago, he was typing whole paragraphs as we went through Masta and the rest :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash
I often wonder too how ppl manage to drive and type, I cant even drive and drink :). Sometimes tho I believe it's a friend or relative sitting beside the driver typing some crap... chat in online-races is very annoying, especially in GPL where you need every little bit of concentration to stay on track. The only chat you will ever see from me is "jhfjztfouh?jgt7?o", which of course, as everyone knows, means: "Maaki is approaching Masta-Kink" :)) cya Maaki

Online chat always starts with "(SR#17)", ect. Does everyone type in thier initials and car no. or does this part happen automaticlly?
Terry Welch 15 Nov 1999#503409
It's automatic. This is the originator initials and car number, so you will know who just said "SORRY" and will know that if not you, somebody just got punted accidentally. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
