i can tell you havent kept up with the league judging by the stats you are pulling on me, uncle fester. nice try! here's our last submit and read the thread and see what massman said about our consistency of subs! http://teamau.net/

should be better this year, so splave is benching for one of the manufacturers? cool

please remove me from TeamAU group that i was in with Uncle Fester and Youngpro

My mate Pete says some wise things here. You guys should pay attention to the words of someone who is probably one of the more successful yet one of the most humble people I've met in my lifetime. Bit of wisdom from someone who knows what they are talking about should never go astray!

great laugh keep it up LOL Mbeier sub 9m time, kenny and the watercooler fail, acetone in toilet hahah you guys kill me

One does not simply say no to hipro5

Jeez I wasn't gonna post any more but cant believe you woke up hipro5 lol #whoa #shock #opa

You're not wrong there

Thanks for the kind worlds vince but there is no will in TeamAU so probably no way to do something like this. If it was a Pro Cup season I reckon boys would be all over it but full time comp schedule is hard to stomach and do right... F1OC had a crap ending and it would be nice to have a crack at something like that again for sure.....just seasonal like every other sport on the planet there's this invention called tooth floss bro, look it up

HWBOT made it official and announced they will no longer support F1OC. That decision murdered the comp. XS pulling out later was just a knee jerk reaction. You and I and a 50% of others continued to support the comp because we COMMITTED to it. I don't want to commit to something that I cannot commit to properly personally nor my team so where does that leave us...You haven't planned that part out whether purposefully or accidentally i don't know. It turns out we are not the only ones either! Let me quote a mate of mine after that announcement was made

WTF man, thanks for lumping us in the same category as that jackass who never had any intention of joining F1OC and every intention to see it through to its failure at every step of the way. This is very childish and there is nothing personal about our concerns so I do not think you need a reason to try reciprocate! Talk about fall of F1OC, don't forget that HWBOT was also the catalyst in actually killing F1OC well and proper because you felt you deserved more reward for the work you were putting into it. That's all fair enough but at some point you decided it didn't make business sense to support something that is trying to be independent of HWBOT even though it was probably going to be beneficial to the community as a whole and HWBOT was in a prime position to benefit as it was the breathing ground for up and coming talent. There was other reasons but that was the core reason. You gave up on the idea BEFORE the season finished remember, now you are trying to stick it out with a poor idea and you will have to work really hard at it to get it to work and you don't have to. That's what the community is telling you. Here is what the community is saying and I will also highlight that it's in great majority. You need to look at this and tweak your idea a bit better... KEEP THE LEAGUE AND HAVE THE CUP TOO! The reason for this is nothing more than the fact this current Pro Cup is a backward step to F1OC and while it might eventually turn into something purely due to persistence and hopefully maybe financial backing from healthier sponsorships and I hope it does for the sake of the community, I just think you are going about it the wrong way. Community priorities should take precedent to any of the sponsors or some blind idea you have you can make a miracle out of an obscure hobby. I am not saying popular opinion is always right but poor decision making also needs to allow for some flexibility. We criticise you (HWBOT) because you are the voice of the community, now act like it! If you have an issue with us all you have to do is contact us and have a civilised discussion, I'm not happy about you trying to make it into a personal stink fight because it isn't one at all!

have fun fellas :celebration: LOL

you can remove me from TeamAU if that's causing an issue for TeamAU guys i dont think massman has thought this through very well. i guess i'll go into limbo with andre, nick, ronaldo, slamms and others with industry ties

let me guess, probably Luxy Taipei http://www.luxy-taipei.com/en/main.php LOL W Y NO HAS U-TOOBE integration HWNOOOOOT?

need an answer here please

sounds good to me, ive never actually seen you drink at all!!! EEEK did you get permission from the wife this time round bro

what are we doing after computex, trying to work out how many days to book past sunday

Euro Bucks sounds familiar

i just picked a winner for last week, it was from Phillipines from memory, i'm sure it will get announced soon

Competitions are not the same as freestyle OC. In competitions you have to work harder to bench and get ready for all out benching and you usually have to rebench multiple times due to several factors which include driver changes, new tweaks, big scores from competitors etc. We've done this before and it requires a lot of work to get right. We dont want to join comps just to participate. You are bound by a time frame which puts extra pressure to do things within the timeframe rather than whenever you really had something in mind.

that is a reasonable suggestion

Ironically, that should be telling you something about R5. agree and i have suggested an alternative which i thought was being implemented in first place as we've been talking about this for a long time and even went ahead and formed a Team.AU in anticipation of this

Pro OC league should not be what you want to try make mainstream most effectively if you really want to boost OC scene, it should be a more general section but even that section will find this change too drastic. Same as P55 that was never going to take 3D01, it was too mainstream at the time also. Pro OC league can definitely contribute and nothing wrong with F1OC style competition but you need to introduce a seasonal comp for pros and whatever you want to do as far as more drastic changes you have to make the changes more gradual or you could alienate whatever pro community you have right now.
