Juan,

Your inbox is full:(

The details of the next race get updated on the second post of the thread that you can find here. The next race will be Monday and has a PP cap of 1755.
 
Where has Diabolic been?

I've had a relapse with my vertigo. It's been so bad with the weather changes and pressure drops in St. Louis that I've had to start vestibular therapy a couple nights a week. It's been very draining on my mental state, which isnt that capable to begin with! I do apologize for not racing or letting folks know I'd be out. I see it's on Monday and Thursday now. Monday still okay. Thursday I have therapy from 5:00-6:00. By the time I get home and have dinner, it's nearing 8:30. Concentrating then on racing would be difficult.

I will try my best to be there, but I'm finding it's not often up to me with the condition I have. :(

Good luck, diabolic!


We just went to 'sultry spring' here, and I totally hear ya.

Well, I used to hear ya, but I hear enough to empathize.

I used to run two days a week and bike the other five. Now I just bike and I can only go a couple times a week before I'm spent. When I run, the pressure in my ears from my head bouncing actually increases, as if I'm ascending in an airplane. If I'm out for more than a couple miles, I have to continually yawn to keeps the pressure as equal as possible.

Anyway, the PP is > 1900 now. Sheesh! Gone a couple weeks and we're in the next tire bracket.

That's because we adjust the pp at least 100 now.
Hope that you get everything worked out. Your health is way more important than racing GT5. We always welcome your presents when you race and enjoy the company..👍

I hope it gets better. Health issues suck. I will be praying for you. Take care of yourself and you know you are always welcome.

Also Mondays PP is 1750 so not quite as drastic a jump.

Edit- we are still waiting on Mondays qualifying track. Race would you like to make your choice?

I wonder if we should set a backup qualifying track.

1800pp and under - Qualifying track would be......
1800pp to 2000pp - Qualifying track would be......
2000pp and up - Qualifying track would be......

We could use this if a qualifying track is not selected a day prior before race day. Then guys could start working on their lineup without wondering what the track is.

I like this idea. Lets see if anyone disagrees.

In the meantime, unless we get a track pick soon shall we say qualifying will take place at Spa?

Which Audi is that the A3 or TT?

Also I am not sure if anyone noticed but we are down to about 100 cars that do not have a PP value:) I should have the list complete in time for them to announce GT6 on the PS3 Wednesday :banghead::banghead::banghead:
 
Really Joe, Really.....:lol:

On the first lap?

Turn all mics off tonight...no disgusting burping or talking will be permitted. NO fun will be had tonight.

Wait wrong series...

As the ever popular Johnny Fever once said....BOOOGEEERRR!
