Epic lag Zero on Deep Forest. I'm saving this replay. I watched your car do a cart wheel from the lobby! Yes..It flew in the air and then did flippies...Awesome
Update: More lag.
I feel cheated. We get five great lag free races with the same group and then as the night wears on the stability of the room weakens. We certainly deserve a much better online experience.
I retract that statement.
We are owed a better online experience. As much as this series has brought in...I'm willing to sacrifice some interior detailing on the dashes of cars to have more reliable online play.
Example:
And yes, I am bitter. I kept 2 seconds from Bronco for 4.5 laps watching his car jitterbug and lag on the screen not wanting to go near it only to have my second place taken. I was perfectly content where I was, but somewhere near the end of the 4th lap he must have made a big mistake. (I couldnt tell because it all looked laggy, but I got a lot closer than I wanted) Next thing I know he's behind me be a second.
I let off for a good ten seconds till he's back ahead 4-5 seconds. Then just before the end his car falls back in one fell swoop 5+ seconds instantly and I nail him. Then more lag, more hits and finally I'm passed by half the room. To that, I say undeserved. I know the retort is..."well we all were experiencing it." Whooy Phoofie. I was the only one who dropped a substantial number of positions. I guess I'm just irked because I was doing my best to drive conservative enough to not get close to someone who ended up lag spiking me anyway. 
Whew.
Alright my childish rant is over.
On too next week. 👍

Yep, I'm blaming my poor performance on lag. I could not control that Z. I need practice.

Central Texas, represent! I just sent you a friend request. Since you're new to the league, you'll be driving in Division 2 next Sunday night (tomorrow night's races have been cancelled due to the Super Bowl). Please let us know if you have any questions at all.

Good thing that Z isn't on the league line-up lol. I had trouble keeping it on track too. You plan on racing next Sunday night, right?

(do a binary to ascii text conversion on that)The lag is super frustrating. I'm hoping the maintenance and upgrade next week addresses it. PD hasn't announced the reason(s) for it yet ...
Did a mini session today to try and sort out my throttle issues. Fixed, woo hoo 👍
Ran a few of laps at The Periphery, mid 1:43's, room for improvement though. Just need to put it all together,

Pole position on Cape looks to be highly contested which is excellent! I love a good challenge. As to the Ferrari....I've only bought it. I've never driven it to this point in the game. Should be fun!

Thanks for your interest, I just sent you friend request. You can race with on Wednesday and Friday nights, but go ahead and focus on FMSC on Sunday nights. We're implementing a divisional format with promotion and relegation on Sunday nights, so it's critical that our Sunday night racers are consistent regulars. Besides, if you're racing in FMSC, you're probably too fast for us snails anyways!
I just sent you a friend request as well. Please proceed to Step 2 of the directions listed at the bottom of the original post. Also, please have your friends who might be interested post their PSN ID's on this thread as well. Since you're your new, you'll be racing in Division 2 next Sunday night. If you finish in the top 3 of Division 2, you'll be promoted to Division 1 the following week. Let me know if you have any questions at all.

Well that was a great win by the Giants, even if we weren't fans of the team. Also it was nice to see that the races were postponed on account of the game. I am currently running a Free Run at the Nurburgring tonight if anyone is interested. I'll have it up till around Midnight EST. Just a casual get together, all I ask is no X1s.

Cool I'll look for it when I log into my PS3 tonight, haven't been on all weekend due to it being a busy weekend for me. And I wouldn't call what I do in FMSC racing so much as occupying a spot on the grid. 99% of the time I'm just riding around in the back by myself.
What time do you usually run on Wednesday and Friday?

Clint, thanks for your interest. However, as other league members have pointed out, your location accross the globe is a giant red flag for lag. If you read the very first paragraph of the original post, we are looking for drivers who live in the lower 48 state in order to mimize lag. Do you plan on moving back to San Diego any time soon?
