Sorry to leave guys but I'm just not feeling it tonight. I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting to the wheel and I'm just not quick or consistent enough to keep up. I'll see you all next Sunday night.
 
I would like to race at the 9 pm west coast time. I haven't obtained the vehicles yet and do not have any practice as a result. I would think it would be better for me to compete next Sunday.
Don't worry about practice. Just get the cars and join in for some fun. @jobyone will post the room number between 8:45pm and 9pm Pacific.

EDIT: Actually, I think the West Coast Division is racing in a Friends Only room tonight. Please add jobyone71 and GranStand_Bill to your PSN friend list.
 
D6 only had 8, but 8 good racers, with several very nice groups fighting for a position somewhere and tight racing, nice little 'clumps' of racing in each combo, at some point.

I really appreciated the good racecraft I saw, especially with several new drivers. Drivers were cautious about reentering track if they went for a short 'sightseeing' journey, or positions were immediately conceded to avoid bump-passing.

Nice group - I hope to see you guys next week!
 
Have no idea what happened. Room number was the same.
Very sorry that happened Hooker.
I tried to get back In and it wouldnt even
Show anybody on my friends list. And you are on my list. Idk what happened. Very frustrating
 
Lot of mic noise in D6 tonight I kept hearing clink clink BANG BANG BANG clink ruffle BANG. Started getting a head ache so I turn the chat volume all the way down.
 
Great Night of Racing in Division 5!!!
3 - Wide!

It's my first online race and I have to say that racecraft was quite impressive for me.
Thank you all guys and see you next week.

BTW, my mic was off during races.

Taking the lead into turn 1. :D

And here is where I lost, @ptslopoke had a run coming out the hairpin, and I for some unknown reason decided to NOT defend my position. :banghead:

I might've had a run coming out of Spoon had I not missed the 2nd braking point.

D2 Directors Report

The racing tonight in D2 was very fast. Everyone was so close in the end. Coming into the final race 1st thru 6th were seperate by 1 point. At the same time 2nd thru 6th were all tired. But in the end the overall winner for the night was JLBowler, who is freshly back on the wheel. Tonight was some what bitter sweet. I myself had some technical issues and had to switch back to the controller. But overall it was a great night in D2. Thank you guys.
 
Guys, I have been struggling to like this game online for awhile now. It's just not happening. Go ahead and put me on the reserve list. I might hop in once in a while, but as of right now, I can't deal with this unfinished game. Off to IRacing for me.

PS: That second combo is a joke.
 
Division 5 Recap...

First race of the evening started quite smoothly...
Suzuka Circuit_1.jpg

The battle for first was a close one exiting turn 1...
Suzuka Circuit_3.jpg

On the final lap 1st through 4th were still battling closely...
Suzuka Circuit_6.jpg


The GTRs were a handful and each race started out close...
Deep Forest Raceway_5.jpg

A little bit of air with a bad landing was the feared combo...
Deep Forest Raceway_9.jpg

Done right, one could sail to victory lane!

The second race had "the big one".
There's that orange car again, sneaking from 6th to 1st over the next 100 yards!

Race 2 at Brands Hatch was very tight...

A moment of 3-wide must have created some sweaty palms!

but the outside line prevailed.

The 2nd combo would be a whole lot better if we raced around in the other direction.
 
Great shot! What a race! My heart was pounding for the laps prior to this moment. Somehow I got a better run off that sweeping turn and it was just enough to pass you guys battling it out. I held my breath braking into the next corner and after that I'd be lying if I said I didn't look back. I had one eye on the rearview the rest of the race praying not to make a mistake!

No way, that section before the first tunnel is a nightmare bottleneck. I never get it right. I'm much more confident at Deep Forest running reverse.
 

With the expansion to 7 divisions, we also have had to expand the number of members to cover key positions so that League night can run problem free. The speed at which the thread is cruising at these days, it is fairly easy to miss something along the way. This is another rough draft of the bare minimum the League needs for each division to operate. The official roster can be viewed HERE and at the bottom of the tab there is a description of each position.

Nice pics! And thanks for the added commentary! I'm not sure if you realize it, but your post qualifies you to earn some $hells. Just click on the "earn $hells" link in my sig, choose your name, select the second "PHOTOGRAPHER" option, and then enter your post number (44662). If you don't know what $hells are yet, you can learn about them by clicking on the "Marketplace" link (also in my sig).
 
I'd like to volunteer as scorekeeper & data specialist for D1 if still needed. I'm a software geek, so it seems a good fit.
I would be willing to stay on as a backup scorekeeper. I'm afraid steward duty is going to keep me pretty busy
Hey guys, were either of you able to keep score tonight? D1 is the only division missing from tonight's score sheet, so just checking to see if either of you were planning to get the results loaded in there later instead. Thanks!

Fizzer has it. Not sure if he knows how to post it though.
