I won't be able to get on til after the baby goes to bed (about 10pm EST), but if you're still racing at that time I'll join up. Be sure to use the settings in the OP so that you can simulate Sunday night's race conditions as closely as possible. If you're off by then, I'll just go to my lounge to practice. dvdoughboy will be practicing with me at that time as well.

Check out your s2ki.com profile. I just added a comment

Thanks for the info kcheeb. If you don't mind I'm going to send ya a pm so I don't spam this thread up. And to guy hosting the practice session tonight, I'm down I'm going to send ya a FR.

Got your request! And I got the settings downpacked zero!

Diabolique uses a controller and aerial view? Damn. That's real good. Maybe I'll be better trying that than this stupid g27

I wouldn't recommend it unless you can understand this:

Do you have room for another driver in this? Sunday nights work well for me and the lack of tuning is a very good option for the free time that I have. If there is room you can send a FR to JLBowler. Thanks.

I logged on early to try to meet you up, but you were playing BF3 so I just hopped into my lounge instead.

Anyone who wants to compare lap times and run mock races of the new line-up is free to join as well. I'll be on until midnight EST / 11pm CST.

I've got an enduro @ 10EST that should last just an hour. I'll be up for a bit of racing thereafter.

For any of my friends, I've shared my favorite test track if you'd like to use it. Anello Italiano is 5.15 miles of twisting Toscana asphalt. I'm thinking of using it friday...but we'll see

I was too tired last night... I was practicing around 5pm with 86 GT..... the handles pretty well....

I saw that you left comment on the profile.... I guess you own a S2000 too?

Thanks for your interest. One of the reasons we decided to switch to a non-tuning league was to make it more accessible for those who either don't have time to tune or simply don't know how to tune. But mostly, it was to make the battles for position more intense. I sent you a friend request. Welcome to the league!

I'll be downloading it. Always up for more tracks. Hate getting stuck on the same ones.

Here's hoping Silverstone and Long Beach make it in as dlc!

I used too.. I wrecked her on Christmas Eve 2004. Slipped on some black ice and did a 720, then got plowed into by a truck that slipped on the same patch of ice.. it wasn't pretty..

I did want to give credit...track was created by fellow GTPer GrahamTurismo.

Thanks for letting me practice with you all last night.I learned that you all are a lot better than me.So let know one tell you that you're slow.I feel if I was to race Sunday with you I'd just slow you down,or God forbid cost someone the race.No need for you to have another obstacle to overcome on the track.
For now due to medication,my lack of experience,and other handicaps I'll sit out.I'll follow the thread,run the cars and tracks you all do against the AI drivers for the practice.Good luck to everyone on Sundays race.

I didn't find you in the way at all Alleycat22469, in fact I thought you were driving well and everyone makes mistakes

The only way to gain experience is to get on the track. Maybe run ultra conservative for the first couple till you settle in. Then start going wheel to wheel with diabolic 👍

I agree 100%. Last night's racing was awesome. Tuning-Prohibited races FTW!

I agree 100% with you as well, kcheeb.

alleycat,
You raced with us the entire night and not once did I feel like you were slowing anyone down. Your pace was good and you drove clean. I'm not sure what else I could ask for from a league member (other than a mic lol). But in all seriousness, I would take it as a personal defeat if you felt that you weren't good enough to race with us. Please look at the title of this thread. After the name of our league, the first words are "beginner-friendly". That means even n00bs are welcome as long as they drive clean, and you are definitely much better than a n00b.

Furthermore, as kcheeb mentioned, you will never get better at racing humans (or cyborgs like diabolic) if you don't actually spend time doing it. Racing against AI will never improve your racing skills against human competition. There isn't any AI in the world that is good enough to do that, and GT5's AI is far from the best anyways.

Did I miss a track dlc? What Italian track do you speak of diabolic?

Hey SaGa, it's not dlc, but a user generated track.

diabolic has it shared so we can download it and possibly use it for Fun Friday.

That's awesome! I need to get diabolics psn so I can get on that for Friday nights action.

 

[kcheeb]

Fun fact, I placed 59th in the Southeast out of thousands of competitors in the US GT Academy. I'm great at time trials and AI but interacting with human's on the track is a whole other game I'd like to master.

Someone was asking who placed 59th in the US GT Academy last night. Found his post, it was jag302ci

Actually, diabolic hosts "Fun Fridays" in the open lobby so that people outside our league can join as well. Keep an eye on this thread on Friday night for the room number. Who knows, maybe we'll find good additions to our league during these open lobby nights 👍

User translation: if it pleases the room we'll run my track. obviously I'm at a great advantage knowing the track but im sure I can downgrade my car and or tires.

Hey diabolic send me an fr. My psn is aDirtySpic- I'd like dl that track even though I don't know how lol.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I had home for lunch in 30 min. Can do then

Appreciate it. I was in a practice session last night with another snail, I'll tell you what, that BMW on tm/reverse is hella fun! Solid choice!

Ouch indeed.. here's a before and after comparison..
