Was really hoping to make this, but it turns out we have a football/soccer match as we progressed to the next round of a cup competition.

I promise I'll get out on track with you all eventually, lol.

Best of luck today guys!
 
Once the race has started, the racer in you will kick in. Whoever manages to win D2 will have had to drive to within an inch of their lives. Lots of people running who have the pace for D, 2 of the faster guys starting from the rear. When I predicted pole at 1:37.9, it was with johnkiller2 in mind. I wish I could race tonight. Tonight could turn out to be an epic race for you Paul, don't miss out on it 👍
 
Room up until go time:

1472-6118-3830-2747-3713

If anyone feels the room title is too inappropriate, please let me know

CLOSED

Yeah so this was just one of those odd weeks where a few people couldn't make the race due to other obligations, no biggie, more chance for new winners :P

So this race could'v easily had over 25 qualifiers had fate not intervened, that phantom turn out still makes me happy :)

A staggered double-file line is used for our rolling start for the first lap after which the race will begin at the start/ finish line.

( First time pole sitters will be contacted for confirmation of the following regulations)
  • Pole sitter will begin on the left side of the track.
  • Even number position qualifiers will be on the right side lane of the formation. Odd number qualifiers will be in the pole sitters lane on the left side.
  • Once the GT5 race countdown has completed and the race event has begun all drivers must hold position and wait for confirmation from the host to proceed. Use your handbrakes, sit silently, report any suspicious latency between cars or lag jolting/skipping. After the host has given the go ahead all drivers will begin to slowly form up in qualifying order. The leader must act as gatherer, they must not pre-maturely advance from the group, it is their job to keep the pace slow enough until all cars are in position then proceed to formation speed.
  • Even pace at 100 kmh / 62 mph,
  • The pole leader must wait for the grid to line up behind them completely on the start straight before starting the race by applying full throttle at the start/finish line.
  • No weaving is allowed during formation lap.
  • You must not overlap the car ahead of you.
  • Do not pass any car until you're past the point the pole sitter started the race at.
  • Jump starters will be given warnings or penalties depending on severity.
  • If a driver is damaged on formation then the damaged driver must communicate this through text chat and continue at a reasonable speed to the pit area. The other cars will continue on as normal and the damaged car(s) can join the group as they come around for their first lap. At this point the formation lap will continue on for a second lap after which the race will begin. If it happens once more, the same contingency will be applied and a third formation lap will go on. After this, no more "formation restarts" will be acceptable and the affected drivers must either retire or start far behind the group. Drivers experiencing extreme lag will be asked to leave so the other drivers can race.
  • If, for any reason, a driver misses the formation start and stays behind still on the track the race will not go on, it must be restarted to eliminate the obstacle.

When I did test, I think the best I could do was 1'38.7, and I think by my standars the lap was pretty good. I think I might have lost some pace during my break or you guys has gotten quicker ..... or both.

Looking forward to the race though. I will not do a tire test, so have no clue how many stops. Maybe two sounds good.
 
Thanks for the kind words guys but i'm not in it for the results/points really. I just like to feel i've done my best and I know that boat has sailed already and add that with my mood i'd rather skip the race and do worse but have more fun trying at say monaco.
 
Guys word of warning hearing alot right now of people who can't sign in to PSN not sure if its affecting everyone but seems it might be.
 
Thanks for posting up the pre-race brief Will.

I'm actually had to make a quick visit to the bak for stuff this morning (here now, so boring) so I'll be getting back a few minutes past 19.00 UTC so you know.

Yeah, just checked all the threads with races today and it seems to be a widespread problem. If at least three drivers are unable to sign in to PSN thirty minutes before green flag time then the race will be postponed to next week. In order to adapt the series schedule to accommodate this move we'll either have to simply push all the scheduled races forward one week or we can have an extra race in July.
 
At the moment josh can't sign in either. If the race is next week instead, please add me to the waiting list.
I would vote for a shorter July break 👍
 
Cant login to PSN

edit-And then a weird message telling my password was expired.Restart ps3 and that message is gone but no PSN

same here cannot sign in bob ok in greece at the moment
 
If the race is pushed back then a new qualifying deadline for people that missed it last week only will be set for this Tuesday at midnight PDT/7.00 UTC Wednesday.

People that have already qualified may re-qualify, but with a 2% penalty - otherwise, the times will stand.
 
Yeah... I think we're definitely going to postpone it at this point.

Because even if every one's able to log in by race time I an't imagine the servers will be very good for the long race.
 
I'm having problems signing in on both my PSN accounts. Well it's more than a problem, I can't sign in on either of them.

It's wierd. If I boot the PS3 it signs me out before I've even signed in. If I then do a manual sign in it tells me my password is no longer valid and I must change it. So I click ok to do that and it gives me an error code. (8071053D)

I checked PSN NZ and it says the PSN network is only partially available.

I'll keep trying but don't wait for me if I don't show.

Really gonna be really pi$$ed if I miss out.

we are all having the same problem
 
Error code 8071053D. Sony servers again. And they can not even explain in other ways than a meaningless numeric error code, kinda 1980'ish. Why do I even put up with this level of suck?
 
'cause I'm scared of crashing in a racecar, yeah, that's the only reason why I put up with online racing technical problems and don't for real :).
