So I got disconnected on lap 1. Came back, got disconnected while watching the race at lap 12. Restarted the PS3 hoping it would maybe help my connection situation. Got disconnected once again while watching at lap 25. I'm calling it quits tonight as clearly I'm not going to be able to make it through race 2 after it gets going. :grumpy: Just going to do some A-spec instead.

Good luck to the rest of those still racing. 👍
 
got disconnected during second race

I would like to be moved to division 3 for now due to my low level of racing skill

Great racing as always when the Div 1 & 2 drivers get together! Thanks to everyone who came out and remained patient through our late start/room merge. Sorry for anyone disconnected, my connection and this game are far from perfect. The results have been sent to MIT for calculation. The results will displayed here on this thread via your computer monitor or mobile device. See you guys @ Silverstone GP!!

It's a shame you got disconnected. We were having a nice battle there and then you just disappeared in the middle of the chicane. Sorry you missed out on the fun:guilty:


We only had 3 guys show up for D1. So they let us join in with D2. Thanks to everyone in D2 for allowing us to come over and race with you. Hopefully we weren't the cause of the disconnects.
Heat did join us too, so we had 4 there for race1. The knukken came for race 2 as well.👍
I think Dolph was intimidated by everyone's pace during qualifying in D2. He bailed right after the start and then found some excuse to avoid race 2. Connection problems....bah!:D

Some great racing tonight, it was fun, thanks to all who were able to make it. Congrats again to silverfire for winning both heats! Well done my future D1 comrad:lol::cheers::P

Oh yeah, lets not forget RacingOtaku for running things and thethirdroy for hosting, thanks guys!

No pitstops was the winning formula tonight. (I hope pd fixes the tire glitch after you pit issue soon, it really alters the strategy)

The shame is I think, around others, I probably would have been able to keep up. Instead, we got to the hairpin on lap 1, and as I was coming out of it, *beep!* "You have been disconnected from the lobby." Son of a 🤬! Guess I'll come back, sit for 45 minutes as everyone else gets to have fun (with the exception of knuckken, who got in there as we were qualifying, and Johnsom, who got disconnected as well around lap 4 or so), then run race 2. So I go to watch the race. Lap 12, there had been a great battle for 2nd. Oh no! Severn thinks he's a sea turtle and heads for the sand in turn 1. :scared: Half a lap later, oh no! "You have been disconnected from the lobby." Okay, let's restart the 'ol PS3 and see if that helps. This is getting kind of old. Alright, back in to watch the rest of the race again. Lap 25, Silverfire leads by a few seconds, but any trip into the kitty litter and mic is ready to pounce. Could be a fun finish. *beep!* "You have been disconnected from the lobby." I think that must be a sign. :lol:

So I guess Silverfire stayed on fire and won race #1. And congrats on making it a sweep! 👍

Concerning the disconnections, I had never had any issues in GT5 (or very, very rarely). For GT6, it looks like PD has some work to do to keep these things from happening. A lot of us Turtles have had issues at one time or another missing out on a race or potential great or fun finish due to these dang disconnects. At the very least, make the rooms a bit more stable. It's 2014 for crying out loud, PD! :irked:

Here are a bunch of picture from the D3 race tonight. I'll look at it again on Sunday and try to get the pic you want @flesxruoyxllik.

Yea u got a good shot of what I was looking for.
 
@Dolph Drago I agree... the disconnect in race 1 threw me right out of whack! I was feeling it and hopefully be able to stay with the pack and boom I got disconnected! I didn't really have as much motivation as I have in race 1 during race 2... oh well... cest la vie! :banghead:
 
@SilverFire no problem for hosting and congratulations on your win last night! Hopefully as the year goes along the powers that be at PD will make this a better game. Look forward to seeing those pics it was a great race. I am not ashamed to say that the 86FRSBRZ is one of my favorite cars in the game. It is a car I wouldn't mind driving in real life.....maybe when the kids move out....of course then it will be time for the all American mid-life crisis: Corvette!
 
Well, I practiced racing in a crowd, and I practiced racing with greasy tires... But I didn't practice in a crowd with greasy tires. :mad:
Lesson learned.

I've officially decided that consistently racing near the top only to drop almost all the way to the back because of one loose corner is by far the most frustrating experience I've ever had in gaming... Bar none.

Great racing otherwise, though. Silver crushed... As @micantony put it: "I wish I knew what the front of your car looked like!" And I think the results will show the FR-S drivers made us BRZ drivers eat our words.

Good luck in D1, @SilverFire
If they don't promote you after that showing then I know nothing. :lol:
 
I have no doubt you would have been right there Dolph :bowdown:


On a side note, was very surprised our tyres lasted 28 laps. I was definitely much slower towards the end, but the car was still manageable with a little caution coming into the two hairpins.
Apricot Hill is a fun little track.

Next week's race will be a different animal. Wide track and race cars! Looking forward to it. If we don't get too spread out it could be some fun racing. Might want to test the draft physher to see if adding DRS might be fun :dopey:

Ran a few laps in the gazoo racing version with tzracer in his base model pink monstrosity:lol: A 40 lap full race, i'm going to like this one!
 
Speaking of 40 laps. Are we still doing 2 races next Saturday @Ph1sher ? I ran a few laps and was in the 2:40 range at Silverstone GP, which would put me in the 1 hour 45 minute range (105 minutes) for one race. I'm sure I'll get faster, but even at 2:15 per lap the total time would be 90 minutes. If so, it's going to be a long night.

But, I'm not complaining. I love this track and the car drives very well on it too. Should be a lot of fun. As a side not, my G27 arrives on Tuesday and I took Wednesday off from work to get acquainted.

I need to do this. My brother just bought a G27. "I was going to just get a DFGT but they were back ordered so I got a G27. Perks of not being married with kids!"
🤬

Truth be told, I'm totally fine with my DFGT, I just need to upgrade my Elite Dining Room Chair rig... And take a day off of work... :lol:
 
That was some great racing last night. Everybody was awesome in those two races. Thanks @Severn. @micantony, I think you came up with a new phrase for when someone dominates. :P But to be honest, I could never slow down because if I did, you'd be right there. :D @3forSpeed, I'll have them some time tonight. :D If I can get my grandma off the computer for 10 mins, they'll be up by tonight. :lol: As my dad would always say, "There are some battles to be reckon with, and every last one of them shall be remembered".
 
Nice to know that the races were alright. I was reading some other threads, and the servers seemed to be worse than usual the whole of yesterday. I'm pretty sure I would've d/c'd if I'd shown up. Can't wait to see the results. :)

Every 7th week of the schedule we run one Special Event race that is twice the length of one normal race. Only one 40 lap race next week.

On a side note, while i'm sad I missed one of my favorite car combos, I had fun playing GTA and Battlefield 4 with my nephews. I actually drank more beer last night than I had in the last 3 years combined (about 5 beers, lol). Hope everyone enjoyed the race!

The 86 GT was my favorite car to drive in gt5. I looked at purchasing one before my jeep wrangle and that's just to much for me right now. The corvette has been my dream car since I was a little kid, but after sitting in a dodge viper car, its been replaced :D
 
D1 only having 3??!!? Really?!? Cmon Turtles!

Sorry I couldn't make it, plans came up later in the day which caused me to miss the race again.. I practiced a lot for this one but oh well

@3forSpeed are you able to type the info results for D1 as well? Since you guys when too 1 room last night.

Thanks @RacingOtaku86 for taking care of D1

@gears_1000 ill send you too D3

Once I get info, the results will likely be posted tomorrow.

And ill try to make next week's race. Just a super busy time of the year for me. Summer is much easier for me.

Thanks! And lets get a good show up of D1 turtles next week! 👍
 
If this week of work is like the past two, I'll be buying my ps 3 this Friday off eBay. Im seeing a lot of the old ps 3 phats for $100 bucks. Is anyone playing GT6 on one? Just wondering how they do with a game that pushes the system to its limits
 
Hey Ph1sher I got your invite a few days ago. Sounds like a fun league. Send me a friend request so I can join the fun.

I think I might fall under D3 or D2. ABS is really the only thing I've ever used, and I'm fairly comfortable without it on some cars (mainly racecars).
