Yes I just watched your replay. You had some nice big mistakes too.

 

[buybon355]

What time is practice tonight? Need to buy a Db9 first. What a great statement, if only...

Hey bb,

Make sure you get the Coupe '06 and not the other DB9.
I'm going to practice one or two race lengths at 9pm GMT later today.
If you can't make it the event is open for anyone to try it out if they want to.

Hope to see you.

 

[buybon355]

Sound Jocke. I'm not any any clubs Monday night, so it usually involves random lobbies, or quick matches to build my funds up. Got myself a headset now too, so you'll be able to enjoy my lovely Scottish accent, which you may or may not understand lol. See you then

 

[JockeP22]

or quick matches to build my funds up

If you feel like it some time, please drag me along to a 'Quick Match' event.
I have no idea how it works, I've never even entered the Quick Match section of the game yet.

Scottish accent, which you may or may not understand

I should be fine. Scottish accent's are awesome.

Yeah, you can't choose who you're in with. We could both enter at the same time and end up in two different rooms, once we eventually get in that is (servers). But seriously, if you're down on funds it pays mega bucks for 3 minutes of racing. Couple of hours will see you several millions richer

 

[SmileyWRX]

Will join at 9.00GMT

 

[SmileyWRX]

My memory is still good... remember Backwards man ??? looool....thinking few days but it worked

 

[Wayne Gratiot]

I'll be there today too. As I told Jocke, I have been looking for other tracks with good turnaround points and have at least 10 that work great. Wide tracks were a consideration too. If we can't get a Course Creator, might as well make your own fun. I wish they could just "throw" the old GT5 Course Creator into GT6. That would be great. Especially if I could use my 275 (and counting) custom tracks from GT5 in GT6.

I love getting in Alice Cooper and going off looking for new roads. That is what the turnaround concept is all about. What's around the next corner? Who might be coming the other way? What about at night? How far ahead can you see headlights coming at you? Just round the next bend or a few turns away? Just like real life. You never know until you know.

Yes that would have been better than the nothing we have now.

The course creator was actually my favourite part of GT5. It was simple but could produce good results.
There were many happy days spent getting the corners just right.

 

[JockeP22]

remember Backwards man

I saw that movie many years ago. I remember one scene where he played piano with sausages hanging from the ceiling.

What about at night? How far ahead can you see headlights coming at you? Just round the next bend or a few turns away?

This is a concept I'd like to try / explore. 👍

The course creator was actually my favourite part of GT5.

I never got the chance to try it. If it had been available now though I know just the track I would have created.



A bit of confusion today.
While you guys were waiting for me in the Club Lobby, I was waiting for you in the Club Events section.
That is the only place where the race results get saved.

Today's practice race: (sorry @gkgamer but Smiley just shattered your record)

Smiley you wondered how to find these results. If you look under the event they should all be there;

Wheeler and I have also talked about a follow-up race where we race the three BMW convertibles on stock PP.
The BMW 507 at 362 pp, the Z4 at 420 pp and the Z8 at 485 pp. Five cars available for each model.
That would make the field even more spread out and the on-coming traffic should be almost constant.

 

[buybon355]

I'll put my name down for the 507, got mine handling sweet

 

[Cu3e]

I could join with the 507 👍

 

[gkgamer]

I guess it would be 507 for me as well...

 

[SmileyWRX]

Z4 for me mr. Jocke

Thanks for results info education.

 

[cgg]

I'll stick to the Z8 for this one. That gives you Z4 drivers a challenge, see if you can beat me!

 

[Zolon32]

Holy moly! A working knowledge of Nurb the correct way is next to no help going the wrong way, so I've just found out. I think I'm seriously down on practice for this chaps, and I'm not that hot here anyway..............

Okay, let mayhem commence!

Cheers, Zo.

 

[JockeP22]

Great
Need to start planning for this one then.

I think I'm seriously down on practice for this chaps, and I'm not that hot here anyway

[buybon355]

Mad crazy mental, good laugh, cheers jocke

 

[JockeP22]

Mad crazy mental, good laugh, cheers jocke

it was.. different. 💡


Well, it got to be two races instead of only the one. And two apparent KINGS emerged on the scene as being terrific Turnaround Talents.
@SmileyWRX and @MannYhAvitZ

Race #1

Race #2

I don't know what happened to you, @Aaroh007 but your golden DB9 was beautiful. 👍

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

It was really fun Jocke!
I could not miss this Turnaround event cause it was really exciting seeing traffic coming your way and trying to avoid a collision

This sure is something different and I don't think I've seen no one else try this, overall it was a lot of fun racing with all of you and is always nice to see a mix of Flags from all over the world

Good race to all of you!👍

 

[Aaroh]

I don't know what happened to you, @Aaroh007 but your golden DB9 was beautiful.👍

My ps3 has been acting weird lately and shuts off on its own sometimes. As for the DB9, it is inspired by your Cappuccino

 

[cgg]

Sorry I couldn't make it to this or the Cappucino race. I had much more work than I thought and it took all night

 

[JockeP22]

Sorry I couldn't make it to this or the Cappucino race.

You would have definitely been right up there had you been able to join.
Another chance perhaps at the "Convertible race".

That's another reason why I chose the Z8. I want the all out win haha!

 

[IfAndOr]

(If I manage to make it!)

I'll have the BMW V12 LMR Race Car. What? OK it's not quite a convertible, but it is an open top.

 

[JockeP22]

These two Tribute Races has been set up as a short solo qualifying session and a twenty minute long endurance race with fast wear turned on.
This time it's Z8's only on the grid. Club ID: 1001609

Our "BMW x 3 convertibles turnaround race" at the Nordschleife will be set to the following Tuesday (Feb. 3rd).
If you guys also should fancy some Rallying follow the link in my signature. bye for now..

 

[Wayne Gratiot]

Hey Jocke!

Jean-Pierre is the character played by Yves, the actor. Michael is the character played by Steve, the actor. Are these races a tribute to the characters or the actors? lol

 

[JockeP22]

I know, Wayne.

I couldn't make up my mind on whether I wanted to go with fiction or real life, so I pulled the old switcheroo and mixed in a little of both.
But I will happily admit that I even managed to confuse myself this time.

It goes well though with our current turnaround theme don't you think? What's real, what's fiction, what's normal, what's the right way on the track?,
why are we here, the meaning of life..

Oh yeah, I've watched Grand Prix countless times and I think Montand's performance and acting was superb.
I think he said he didn't like doing the fast car scenes because of the danger. Or was that Antonio Sabato?

I've even done the famous 'Garner walk' on the Monza start/finish straight. I visited Italy in 2011 and going to Monza was one of my goals.
Travelled to Imola that time, too.
