Just broke in the Solstice, changed the oil - 251HP/441PP

Actually it was broke in 2 hours ago, but I took me a little nap near the end and have just now woke up and changed the oil. On to the merc. Which, the one I already have has 900+ miles on it and every mod known to Kaz and the GT5 mechanics. Off to the dealership for some new shiny.

Iroquois,

My suggestion for Sunday is the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren at Monza.

cmbeal317

of course if it were up to me, it would be a race car. But I will go with this choice for the Prize A Combo. Have fun gentlemen

Prize B Selection:

We're going to say at Laguna Seca and I'm going to change the car to the Pontiac Solstice Coupe Concept '02 from the OCD.

The May 19th lineup has been posted! :gtpflag:

Big thanks goes out to Owens and joby for making the lineup look so damn good! I really appreciate that you guys are constantly looking for ways to help the league (rather than just finding things to complain about without offering any help :boggled:).

Well I guess I am lazy. If I had scrolled through the hundreds of posts to find the lineup I would have completely missed the racing. It's all good though. I wasn't directing it at you, I just wanted to know what we were running. But if you took offense to it...oh well.

Let me explain my frustration since you don't see to get it. You posted here asking for the lineup and then followed up with this childish ALL CAPS demand an entire half hour later. So you basically waited half an hour just waiting for someone to spoon feed you the lineup rather than just taking the initiative to click on the shortcut links to Tuesday's posts (when the new combos always are announced) to find the lineup for yourself. If doing that would have taken you more then 30 seconds, let alone 30 minutes, then maybe you should be focusing on other things other than sim racing.

You can be as lazy as you want to be, but don't bring your laziness to this thread when there are so many people busting their ass for this league. But if that's not a concept you can understand or respect..."oh well".

it is a joy and pleasure to help out:)
 
2. I have won 3 Prize C rewards. I have posted my requests for those several times and never received anything. I am not sure if there is something else I need to do.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. However, I'm either a little confused or I'm really overlooking something. As far as I can see, you won Prize C on February 10th, but I don't see any other Prize C's that you've won. More relevant to your post though, I only see one post claiming a prize. In my defense, you made the post two weeks after you won it and right in the middle of post-race activities on a Sunday night. I was in the directors' meeting at the time and there were no less than 13 posts in the twenty or so minutes that we would've been in that meeting. I guess what I'm saying is, as Bowler suggested, it was a one line post that simply got buried and missed. My apologies. :ouch:

All that being said, I'm not sure I understand your request for a ferrari 330 p4. It's not on the Prize C list so it's not something I can send to you as a car ticket or coupon. Can you please pick something else that's on the list?

3. Several people have requested to add the PP to normal line up on the main page. Im not sure why this is never done. It is very helpful. By not posting it is almost not telling someone the rules so you have a better chance at winning. I mean the pictures and track maps are posted but not a simple number to make sure your car is ready and up to spec. Along with that is why are the lineups not posted with enough time to break-in the cars before practice. Its 3:30PM PST Wednesday and still cars posted on the lineup. I know they are in the thread, but unless you are on all the time it takes a bit of time to find the selections. Ideally I would say your selection should be made public by 6:30PM PST Tuesday or your selection is forfeited. It seems to be alot of weeks that the selection is made hours before practice starts.

The reason that PP is not added to the lineup is that it's extra work for me that I simply don't think is warranted. Believe it or not, editing the lineup takes me about a half an hour every week from start to finish, so I'm not really looking to add to that. If I add in the max PP's (once they've been figured out), it would require going back to it again and again (and I already do that for the lap numbers). Furthermore, I have to disagree with your analogy that not listing the max PP's is like not telling someone the rules. If you want to talk about rules, let's talk about the rules listed on the original post. If you follow the required Step #4 listed at the bottom, you won't have to worry about what PP your car has. If you simply break-in your car as instructed, looking at your car's PP isn't even necessary.

However, since you feel like posting the PP is important, I'd like to nominate you as the PP coordinator. Of course, everyone knows I like important posts to be TOTPP's (top-of-the-page-posts). It just so happens that as I was reading through all of your posts trying to find your Prize C requests, I discovered that one of your posts is a TOTPP! (You actually have two of them, but this one's much more recent ;)).

Anways, I've added a link to your TOTPP at the very top of the lineup. All you would have to do it edit that post whenever someone posts the max PP for one of the new cars. Please let me know if you're willing to do that for the league. It would be very much appreciated. If you're up for it, I'll add you to the TEAM S.N.A.I.L. post. 👍

All in all it seems like if you are not in the cool kids club you, your results, and your posts are ignored. No response to this will further cement this thinking.

What is the cool kids club? Or more specifically, who's in it? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by saying that your results are ignored. I understand the part about your post(s) being ignored, but hopefully I've addressed that sufficiently above.

You win! You're the only person who has a busy life outside of GT. Woe is me. Sounds like you need a hug. Let's hug it out.

It's not about winning qwietstorm, it's about showing a little respect for the people in S.N.A.I.L. Posting in all caps is a little on the rude side, especially as zer0 said, the information was there for you to find, the same as everyone else.

You just need to take a look on the page 1 of the tread and that take less than 1 minute if you are on a smartphone.
 
How do you post in all caps anyways? I've tried to do it out of excitement and GTP always reformats it back to normal. I guess I'm not allowed to be exited.

You don't. I think you CAN POST SOME PHRASES IN ALL CAPS, but not the whole message.
 
Someone could give me last sunday results? Thanks!

You are welcome Sunday May 12


What is the ritual, fee or application for membership? :dopey:

You need to come up with a Cool Logo for your club. Never mind.. I found it already.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

All results from Sunday racing can be found on the first page of this monster of a thread in post #2. The link to the spread sheet can be found on every results post. It's usually labeled detailed results or something similar.

Ya'll have some really fun combos this week. The Solstice is surprisingly smooth and quick compared to other cars in that pp range. The SLS has great braking and quick traction pick up on acceleration.

To Owens, Qwiet, Wolf, 2armed, Marcus, and the others, thanks for the great racing. 0.074 seconds between 1st & 3rd at Monza. I can't believe we took that last turn pretty much 3 wide!!! Wow that was fun! Good luck to you guys this week. See you next week!!

Mostly shellfish causes allergic reactions. Mmmmm Blue Crabs!



Has anyone communicated the lap counts to zer05ive? Would be nice.
6 at Monza?

I prefer this. Build a man a fire and you keep him warm for the night. Set a man on fire and you keep him warm the rest of his life.

And your cellmate will keep YOU warm for the rest of YOUR life.

6 Laps at Monza is going into the 12 minute mark which may delay the rest of the night. I suggest should be 5.

Only the fast D1 guys had it under 12 minutes.
