Great combo Carl, track is also available from me, GTP_Cpt_D

Car No. 59

Hi gents the track will also be shared from the GT_TCR account on the Monday so this would also be another way for you to get to know where to find like minded racers where a lounge is dedicated to this type of racing.

And I'll do my best to make it as I only finish work at 21:00 GMT. Thanks to Carl and Gary for organising this.

Cheers

Sign-up list updated.
Please do not forget to send a FR to GT_TCR to be able to go to the lounge.

Yes, that would be great!

Things like 'TCR' & 'Tuning Prohibited' are like angels singing to me.
So I would love to join, time is also perfect, so sign me up!

Edit: Number #28 in Chameleon Orange 👍

Been a long time since I did anything TCR related and this is in a timeslot I can do, so I'll take the #99 in red. 👍

Please guys, can you specify your car number.

@Cobani: can I use that logo?

Track for october 15th: Classic Hill (will be shared from Tuesday 9th)

Test information:

I did a 20 lap race test in my lounge.

I completed the 20 laps in 45:31.
Fastest lap: 2:12.8xx
Regular laps in 2:13-2:14.

I had the feeling that fuel consumption changes the balance of the car (back gets a little more twisty). Due to the mandatory pitstop, no tyre problems.

Finally, a tuning prohibited race event that uses sensible & appropriate tyres! I'll shoot you a FR to the GT_TCR (if you'll have me), & try the car track combo out, if I like it I'll see you guys tonight. GTP_cpt_D can vouch for my driving ability.


Race Number: 73

Colour: Silver/black wheels.



EDIT: I've been trying to get into My Lounge to practice, but it will not let me in. I repeatedly keep getting errors 268 & 282. Will try again later, but seeing as this issue has been going on for some since Oct 6th, I dunno whether I'll make it.

Hi Martin, it will be good to have you join us, but the problem you describe seems to be affecting many people, myself included If it turns out to be a no-go we can hopefully arrange another night.

That'd be great Gary, It'll give me a chance to learn the track. Didn't have any issues yesterday, was in open lobby for hours, but when I went in today to practice with the NSX I got the errors.

Hi Martin. I'll make necessary arrangements to respond to your friend request. I hope things work out with the internet issues.

Cheers.


👍

Sounds like fun! Can I still join you guys?

Sure Troy, just hope the servers are all up and running ... Guess we will find out tonight!

👍

Yea, I just noticed that the servers are acting up a bit. Lets hope for the best and see you guys on track.

You forgot to accept mine too

The server issues I've encounted recently in many rooms and series are: mass disconnections (entire room disconnects very quickly one after another. This isn't due to the "fixed host" option), more black screens than usual when more than a handful of cars leave the pits at once in free run, and some random room errors like 282.

Sorry guys, couldn't answer before, because I was working.

Sign-up list updated.
I hope everything will work fine this evening.
If there are to many connection problems, we will start over next week with the same car - track combo.

EDIT. Don't forget to empty your cache before entering the lounge

FR send.

I got it on my account, but the race takes place in the GT_TCR lounge. So you have to send one to that account.

Just read in the game:

"

We are currently experiencing an interruption of GT5 online service.

We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your patience while we work to restore the service

Message dates from saturday. I was online more than an hour without problems yesterday evening. I hope everything will work fine this evening.

Lounge opens now (21:33 UK time)

GT_TCR hasn't accepted my FR yet

I send out an FR to GT_TCR but it's not accepted yet.

I hope Joylord (who administrates that account) will be soon online.

Okay, just downloaded the track and track to get some practice laps in. Hopefully my FR will be accepted soon.

We'll wait until 9:15pm UK time. If the GT_TCR FR Requests are not accepted at that time, we'll move to my lounge (turbogeit)

You can always send FR to me too, GTP_Eriba
