Network is all screwy again!! 1-3 laps then booted every time.

This is getting old fast!

Yep. It's not just PS3 either so I think we can put that theory to rest. Cardahs and I began having trouble a little while ago practicing Project CARS on PS4.

 

[Alex ONeill]

Well that's a bummer. Hopefully they get it figured out soon, especially since many of us are now paying for the plus membership.

 

[lllTrick]

Wow, psn better figure this garbage network issue out and fast or they are going to start losing paying customers by the truck loads.

 

[Zii1993]

Hey @Zii1993 look what showed up on my doorstep this morning.

Stay in school kids.

That's cute. Still disappointed, I see.

If you're honestly approaching 50 and have enough free time to still be dwelling on insignificant things that happened 8 months ago (such as somebody not taking a random practice lobby on a dropped combo seriously and riding someone's ass who isn't even in snail because they're holding you up to the point that they crash for the lol's) as if you were in high school, you're pathetic. I hope GTplanet gives your existence enough validation to feel special...and maybe in a couple years when you finally make it to "D1" and I decide to take time out of my busy life to play, we can race together?

Well, someone has a thin skin. I don't know who this guy is, but to dis Tom on the main thread is kind of wa wa wa in my book. Non of my business what happened 8 months ago but I have raced with Tom a lot and have never ever ever had an issue with him. He must have Chick-ened you at one time for unsavory behavior.

Hardly...just baiting someone who can't even speak to someone directly despite the clear anonymity at our disposal.

You're right, it is none of your business...and you actually know exactly who I am.

@Mike Lobban thanks man, always fun racing with you. I'm going to miss having you around especially pack racing.

How can I know who you are???? You are inconspicuous?
Just when you post mr hanky at one of the most respected members in the main thread, expect mr hanky back. Lol.

 

[Inconspicuous]

...but you do know who I am? I'm inconspicuous. As are you...

Would you like a map to ease the struggle of this scavenger hunt or are you up for going about this tango all by your lonesome?

I am not inconspicuous, I am the deadly YELLOW PERIL. I watch out where the huskys go, I don't eat no yellow snow........ That's me laughing at my own wit,(witless?). .

I am gonna go race some PCars.

 

[Lessen]

Well, in other news...

We over at WRC will try to have a practice session tonight @ 9:00EST provided PSN cooperates. Anybody with pCARS is welcome to join us whether you intend to race on Tuesday or not. Just shoot me a PM on PSN (Lessenjr) and I'll toss an invite your way

We'll be practicing the Renault Megane at Hockenheim Short and the Superkart at Oschersleben Short. Clear skies early afternoon. Join us for a couple hours of fun lapping and a few short sprint races as well. 👍

What the hell got stuck up his butt?

 

[Wolfsatz]

The only weird thing for me is braking for the Turn 1/2 complex. It's the only place on track that truly upsets the car and I'm still trying to figure out the smoothest AND fastest way through there. Otherwise yea, it's a hoot!

At Apricot Hill

Here's my approach:

Step No 1.
Right about where @JamCar0ne car is now, is where I point the car to the 1st apex (no breaking yet).
Step 2.
Right about the rumble stips (my car) I hit the breaks hard with the wheels being totally straight.

Step 3.
Let the car roll while turning (no throttle or breaks); this actually helps reduce the speed
Step 4.
Right about the spot where my car is 2nd breaking point to bring it to the right speed

Step 5
Keep it tight and steady; do not slam the throttle

I actually had to break a 3rd time to avoid contact with the leading car

conceding one second is much better than a wreck...

Easy on the throttle coming out of the chicane!

I'd love it if someone bought me a PS3 and G29

Who's up for some practice?

 

[gtr3123]

Good memories... My PS3s fan gave out so RIP, here are some races and scenes of my driving in 2014 before the GT Academy 2015

 

[Unknown_Male]

Man, does that car not have a shifter or center console?? ouch

Right, he had to take it in the spine for that.

The steward summary has been posted and can be found here. The results have been updated and can be found here.

Snail Afternoon Nap room open... come have a snooze around the track

 

[Zii1993]

So good news and bad news coming from Zii1993's garage: It looks like we've been able to move forward with our team and have upgrade the monitor used for everything race from 26" Samsung to 43" 4K Visio. However in the process of the upgrade it became apparent that our old hardware isn't up to the challenge anymore. This being said we will have to pull away from the Sunday gt6 series. Just because Zii won't be racing on Sunday's doesn't mean you won't see him here. This is like Facebook for Zii as in we can't get him off of it. We've enjoyed our time with gt6 but it's time to move forward.

 

[JLBowler]

The drivers list has been updated and is ready for tonight's racing. All new drivers that submitted a time trial have been notified of their division placement. Good luck to everyone tonight. I'm going to try and get my new rig completed so that I can race tonight.
