◆ S.N.A.I.L. Weekly Kart Races (everyone welcome)

[kcheeb]

There are no limits to Karts racing on Tsukuba ......... not sure how you came to that conclusion.

I tried last night and couldn't get it to load with a Karts selected

Will try again this afternoon and report back.

 

[ATLskydiver]

I'll be racing tonight (well, I'll be driving on the same track as you guys anyways ). The 100's is it?

Oh, and I finally figured out how to use these !

For what it's worth, I tried last night both on an offline time-trial and hosting an online room and wasn't able to use Karts in either sitting on Tuskuba.

[Lessen]

Oh ok. I did a very small amount of club stuff last year and I had to friend request and whatnot (GT5) to get in so I wasn't sure if that was necessary. Thanks.

No problem, we're running in a Public Lobby till PD gives us the Clubs and Leagues functionality 👍

Doh, another reason for PS Plus. Update downloaded and installed for me

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Second go, did what they mentioned to do in the 1.03 thread a few hours ago and stayed signed out of PSN until game loaded, went to notifications and signed in there. Soon as sign in was complete the game alerted the update and download began. Seems to have completed successfully at this time.

No worries. Wish I'd caught Tsukuba earlier, doh.

 

[OwensRacing]

@kcheeb

I won't be making it tonight.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

If and until they patch in triples support Owens will be getting his fix in iRacing. I'm about 4 steps from heading there myself.

 

[kcheeb]

Looking for at least one room host tonight. Anyone have a good connection and willing to host?

 

[ATLskydiver]

I take it back. Not gonna make it tonight. Gonna be doing something else...

 

[kcheeb]

Okay, we'll go with one room tonight. Id Text isn't back by quarter to the hour, I'll open a room up.

[MC-Chase]

Hey guys, sorry for having to shoot off before the evening had finished - it's really late here. Thoroughly enjoyable racing though, thanks very much for hosting! I'd like to say I'll be back next week but the time-frame means this is going to have to be a once in a while thing for me.

 

[Chiochan]

The last race was intense white knuckle action!
Don't believe me, check it out.

Delta formation.

 

[kcheeb]

No worries mc 👍 Come race when you can

Thanks for racing everyone, good fun tonight.

@TEX36 thanks for hosting, much appreciated 👍

Awesome pics @Chiochan Thanks!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Gawd! That was some of the best racing I've ever seen, right up until I left my wingmen, in 2 different races. @chatva @carracerptp @Chiochan.

 

[racingchamp30]

Great racing tonight, great work goat with the pics from the oval race.

 

[OwensRacing]

I'm missing you guys and karts. However having triple monitors back and truly enjoying my "Pro Sim Racing Career". I truly have trouble pulling myself away from behind the wheel. It hasn't been like this since GT5 Circa 2011/2012. Just can't get enough.

So dang close to fast tracking my next license. I would of been there. However they swap tracks in the Nvidia Cup ever week. Lime Rock the. Laguna. I had Lime Rock down and was actually pretty dang quick. Most of the fast guys were at my speed with only a few I ran across that were .5 faster. These were higher licensed veterans. Now were at Laguna. It's a totally different animal. I'm getting it down but haven't gotten the speed I want. Once I'm 100% comfortable I'll start pushing. Good thing I just ran fast lap in the last race and it was nearly a second off my fastest lap. I feel i have a solid 1.5-2 secs in me by the end of the week.


Anyway, here is hoping PD brings triple support by the end of the month. I do miss all the beautiful cars that await you in GT!
