People having trouble staying up til 12am. Hahahaha. I work til midnight. Unloading a delivery truck for a grocery store (Trader Joe's). 4p-12a, break at 7 or 8, truck at ~9:00-9:30, unload and stock shelves til midnight or so. Then I come home and I'm not wound down til around 3am. I'd rather do this than wake up at 8am any day.

Can anybody suggest an aftermarket controller that offers a similar feel to the DS3, but with better trigger (R2 specifically) buttons? I began using some trigger extenders earlier this year and really fell in love with them, unfortunately they tend to break over time and my last one cracked on me yesterday while practicing. I thought I'd try an aftermarket controller (afterglow) with better trigger buttons and relocated steering stick, but I was unhappy with the stick response compared to the DS3. It seemed too progressive for me. Very dead around center and too aggressive of a change toward the extents. Then they are sprung stronger than the DS3 as well which I could probably get used to over time, but then again I've been using a standard PS controller for some 15 years. I might have to just order a handful of trigger extenders.

I have one of these hanging around if you want to pm and make a deal...

 

[ExoSphere64]

It has been brought to my attention that the D5 replays that I uploaded contained more than just the 6 replays from last night. I have removed the folder and replaced it with a proper one. My apologies for any inconvenience.

As far a race controllers go, this is what I used for the original GT title on PS1... I really had a good time with it.

 

[JLBowler]

Effective for the start of the December season. Division 7 will be running with penalties off.

Division 8 can expect this change to take place for the start of the Jan. season.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Is there a deadline to have it done by? I am waiting for the regular data person to get back to me.

There isn't an official deadline for timing data to be entered. The November results will be archived and those sheets will no longer be available for editing after that. The results will be archived sometime Friday or Saturday this week, so all timing data should be entered before that to be included in the archive.

That looks like a pong controller on steroids.

Yeah, pretty much everything is off season, even the WRC ads Rally America are done for the year. Might have to pick a football game or something.

The problem with a football game (or any other sport) is that we have to have a 100 numbers with the same likely hood of getting picked. It could work if we just needed 10 numbers (by picking the last digit of the combined score), but that's just not the case here.

Try this:

http://www.randomresult.com/ticket.php

You can set it up to draw automaticly at a specific date ... at type "pick item" just enter the names and set 1 winner ... you can share ticketnumber on the forum so everybody can check for themselfs who won,
Instead of relying on a Post only.

We thought about using one of those before, but that's nowhere near as fun as going something like this (click the links), where the prize finalists are winning and losing the prizes repeatedly before the final winner is determined!

Gran Turismo would be so cool with a livery editor, just imagine all the premium cars would be "skinable"

What you don't want to do in your first race.

Ouch.. did he survive? better to lose a second that your life.

 

[CoachMK21]

Ouch.. did he survive? better to lose a second that your life.

Yes. He broke his arm, and a few other injuries. Was in the hospital for a week, but otherwise fine. Especially considering how bad it looked.

 

[zer05ive]

Formula E? Theres a race on 13th december, dunno if that's too far away though.

Good thinking! I actually watched the race on Sunday and it didn't even occur to me that they could be a potential method of getting a random fast lap time for us.

We could use this ProAm Race down FL on the 30th? http://www.farausa.com/events/2014-miami-500/

But do they have a live timing or another way that we could easily track fast laps?
