[cmbeal317]

Hello folks quick question, got my time trial submitted, however the first car in round one is the Shelby series one supercharged, the banner says it has 335hp yet the only one I can buy only has 319, am I missing something?

Make sure you do an oil change.

 

[Jakedog23]

Is anyone else watching the Richmond race?

 

[Glowplug007]

Ok cool thx, also is there a way I can get that Gti without blowing 1,000,000 credits?

@Rallywagon, @DriftinAssassin, and @dangerzone641 are also experienced drifters. 👍

Someone call for me?

While I'm here, I hope you guys can forgive my absence. School has taken priority again in life and I'm seriously trying hard to earn good grades so I can get a truck from my parents. Also, I've lost some interest in GT6 and racing in GT6 in general so the fun isn't there anymore unfortunately.

I've also kinda moved my sights to a possible small time kart career (?)/hobby after going to Pole Position Raceway STL yesterday; might have some natural talent being only 4-5 seconds off the fastest times of the week.

I also haven't been on GTP a lot lately but I'm still trying to keep up with the threads and be up to date on certain things. Hopefully my desire to race in GT6 returns and I can come back to race with all you awesome people but until that day I'll just do what I do best: stalk the thread in the darkest of shadows.

Cheers guys and good luck with all the racing!

I still couldn't bring myself to burn a million credits on a car I'm going to use 1x. I don't have time to play as much as most folks I think.

Does anyone here drift with a g27? I've had mine for about 6 months now and I used to do a lot of drifting on gt5 and could really use some guidance on what I'm doing wrong now that I'm on a wheel.
So basically I'm asking anyone free for some drifting tutorials?

I actually pull out the DS3 for the drift trials, could never get a feel for it on my DFGT wheel in GT or others games...

If you just take a few minutes to do the seasonals you can win plenty of money. Many people here do not get much time to play. Just focus on getting a few million and you will be fine.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I just don't drift, and this is nothing against people that do, but tire grip and I have a very close relationship. I don't like the idea of trying to control chaos. It's chaos, don't go there. lol

...nice..Super Cub?
Always wanted to be a bush pilot !!

Meet my best friend of all time....


This was the Bird...I was a FAC (Forward Air Controller in SEA, Korea, and in Europe)...California still uses these as Fire Control Ships...they control the fire crews and the retardant drops like we used to control fighters. The OV, also known as the Bronco, was an absolute hoot to fly.

This was the job..
not a staged photo...just a lucky one. The FAC is re-marking the target with a 2.75 inch willey pete (white phosphorous) smoke rocket, as the lead F-100, just finishing strafing his run, streaks by.

uncredited photo from SVN (or even possibly at Eglin AFB in Florida) as the OV has no drop tank attached.

This was the kid at the time..no common sense what so ever...can't believe they actually paid me. They actually gave me an OV loaded with rockets and strafe, with a 230 drop tank, patted me on the fanny and told me to come back in five hours...well there was a bit more to it....but still very stimulating work. 1972 and 1973 are the ONLY years that I NEVER saw a race...hell I didn't even know who won the world championship until Autoweek caught up with me after the hostilities ended.

This is what we called a "Tiger Shot"...everyone took one with their a/c....usually one with their name painted on 'em.
We used a static call sign for our entire year long tour. In combat I was Rustic 15, and for the second tour in peacetime I was Nail-27.

I still want your cub!!!!!!

EDIT: I thank God every day that I was a MUCH better pilot than a race car driver.

That's so cool!
I floated around and stayed on station for hours and hours just wait-in for you guys to come back!
An A7 with its rear so close to the deck, well he was taxing and the ship pitched and he sensed that and countered by pushing the stick instead of the peddles and I actually flew!

Another time a Tomcat came in hot and his right gear gave-way, I can still see the five hundred pounder sparkling past!

See a Vet, shake his/her hand...

"F14 tomcat, in the groove, got the ball, gear set 520 tomcat, all down, clear deck"
Once I say all that and only after I said that could he land on the postage stamp I was on in the middle of the ocean!

 

[Zii1993]

Anyone up for practice?

 

[Handlebar]

Watching F1, trying to watch BTCC, but 'location blockers' are preventing it (grrrrr...).

Have some Honey-Do's after the race, wife wants to go for a drive, and I can't argue with that. 👍

 

[reigninblood]

SOMEBODY WINS AT MONZA!!!!!!

Which postage stamp were you on? I was on the rosey

 

[Wardenclyffe]

xxxxx WINS AT MONZA!!!!!!

I encourage you to edit your post for those that have not yet watched the race.

 

[nmcp1]

*@##$% WINS AT MONZA!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY.... WTF!

Some of us don't have the luxury of watching the same day.... sometimes even days later!

 

[Zii1993]

Practice room open

[DesertPenguin09]

Seriously seriously. It airs at 7:30am. Most people don't wake up that early just to watch it. I knew **** would win, but dude... Never post results on a race day.

 

[Rockhound18]

Seriously seriously. It airs at 7:30am... Never post results on a race day.

I'll suggest you edit your post to read like this as well. You're basically doing the same thing! 💡

 

[Falango]

Thought people would know better than to post race results here...........thanks.....

 

[fzappa]

 

[Rockhound18]

Seriously. And to add to it, no edit as well. Why come here and post about it if you have no intention to stick around and talk about it?!

Hopefully they come back sooner rather than later or this will get worse by the half hour. At least I was lucky enough to watch live. Sorry to those who didn't... our west coast friends aren't getting up at 4:30am to watch... well, I'm sure most of you aren't.

And... right on time, a west coaster weighs in.

 

[tezgm99]

Pretty sure it's supposed to be posted here, not in this thread.

Fortunately for me, I don't have those 4:50 Sunday mornings now....it's 5:50 instead

trying to watch BTCC, but 'location blockers' are preventing it (grrrrr...).

I feel your pain, Handlebar
