Not only is GT6 the first GT game I have experienced online, it is also
the very first PS game I have ever tried online and any console or PC for that matter.
Through the years I have always been offline gaming and to tell you the truth I wish I had taken the leap sooner. My little brother on the other hand has been online gaming for ten years :boggled:
talk about a head start.
GT6 is really fun, even though there are some flaws and even though countless people seem
to bash on it on a regular basis.
I traveled to Monza in October 2011 and walked on the old banking, the parabolica, the start/finish straight (like James Garner) and also spent some time in the pits and climbed up to Charlie Whiting's tower. That's why I really enjoyed our two Monza races this Saturday.

Way back after race #5 we saw some 130R driver comparisons; #69

Now comes part II in the comparison department.
This time how we the Z8 drivers placed our cars through Rettifilo at Monza.

And here is my Z8 for Tuesday, a Jules Bianchi-inspired 2014 Marussia MR03 replica,
with a pretty well matched helmet and suit to their real life counterparts.

Final points and standings up soon..
 
Oops. A bit to much kerb at Rettifilo! We'll on that lap anyway.
No matter how many times I've been around there, the chicanes at Monza always seem to catch me out. :dunce:

Nice pictures Jocke. 👍
 
Here are the results of the final four races from this Saturday;

All fifteen individual race results can be found scattered throughout the thread,
but here are all statistics conveniently in one place.
qken's points total looks odd because of this; #64

^^^^^^ This has also been put into Post #1.


Thank you to all who have participated at some point, and extra warm thanks to you guys
who got onboard from the very beginning (back when I was nervous no-one would
show up at all :dopey:).
It's been a pleasure.

bergele, I can watch my overtaking you on the inside down the Mulsanne straight @ 2:48 a hundred times over ;)



So yeah, with this the points are now reset from the next event onwards.
Check for the new addition to the points system in Post #1. 👍

I should probably stop now..
 
qken's points total looks odd because of this; #64
I wish now I hadn't been that harsh, a lesser percent would have sufficed. Sorry qken 👍:)

Congrats to the win Jocke and thanks for organising this event :cheers:
It´s fun to read all the stats :sly:
Thanks Goofy, like Keke Rosberg I stole the championship with just one win.

But I think we can all agree on who the true champion is, in spirit.
PureGT_GOOFY 174ppr ----> JockeP22 154ppr.
Your race stats is truly something to aim for. 36 laps in the lead :eek:

I really like the picture with If, quken and I side by side :bowdown:
Glad to hear that, I was real pleased with how that one turned out.
See you all tonight.
👍
 
cgg
If only I could make it to more rounds. Nevermind, I'll just turn up when I can, and hope to get lots of points :)

Thanks for organising this!
Yes, with your points average you would have left us all in the dust had you made more races. 👍

*Monaco
*Tokyo
*London
*Special Stage Route 5

Room settings can be found in post #1.



The schedule has been revised and events will now start one hour earlier than before.
This goes for Tuesday as well as Saturday.

Welcome All :cheers:

And don't feel obligated to go with the same number and/or team. Change them how many times you wish. There's no rule against it. Or race blank instead, your choice. I might not have been clear about that.
 
Test and tune (R&D) room is open for Monaco, Tokyo, London & Special Stage Route 5;

1472-6399-8665-9411-3671

will remain open for an hour or two :)👍

Hey guys , I can not be in tonight's race. Have got a crazy cold so it will be early bed time for me :banghead:. But hope to be in the next race .
 
I was looking forward to watch you work that qualifying magic, qken. Beat that cold like you beat us all at Brands before.


Race room is now open;
1472-6681-3415-7082-1507
 
Sorry I didn't make it guys. Two intense 30 minute DTM race had left me boggled eyed. :crazy:
