tried to join 4 times - keeps timing out and wont connect
Three things to try that I know of...

1. Clear your network cache and try again. (GT button top left of screen, Options, Network, Clear Cache)
2. Join a random room, green up, exit, and then try again.
3. Open a room of your own, green up, exit and then try again.

One of these usually does the trick for me.

I see network - temporary data delete -

Is this the right thing?

The Steward Summary and Current Probation is posted.​
 
Desperately needing help / mentor

I am a newbie and an old man who for some moronic reason thought I could compete with newbies like me. But I am having issues that are preventing me from being able to race.

I have copied the snail lobbies and worked quite hard to increase my Times.

Lexus RC at St Crioux fastest time 1.59.713 and ten lap times posted below.

Serdegna Alpha Romeo 4c - 2.04.37 fastest lap - ten laps below

Dragon Reverse - Nissan bouncing piece of crap - Way to embarrased to show my times.

My issues is I can practice hot laps til the cows come home and I can never get better at racing and hot lapping is only prep work for racing.

I went into 4 diff lobbies racing 16 races all BOP and came in last place every race- and its worse because I wasnt even close to another car for 16 races.

I cannot stand the thought of hitting someone and back off way to much at the first corner to never see the pack again - I just cannot seem to get used to being and racing anywhere close to another car.

It has taken me countless hours to learn these cars and tracks for the 3 races. I'm old and slow.

Looking for anyone willing to do some type of practice where u lead and i try to pass and I lead you try to pass - and if one of us gets to far ahead slow down and wait for the slow guy - even better fighting with multiple cars

I am having a problem finding another racer to improve with and wonder if its possible to try this.

Look forward to racing with all of you at some point - I'm just not there yet - with the guidelines of No Touch racing and the penalty system I am in need of desperate help to get comfotable with another car or pack near me - so far I cant even find another car or pack after the first 30 seconds of the race.

Willing to put in the work if anyone is willing to help an old man find his walker 🤣

again - thanks to all that work so hard making this site and racing possible.

I have made a lot of lobbies to practice and have not had anyone join yet - i make them FRIENDS only usually because It's a freaking zoo of people that don't care to race clean -

Feel free to send a friend request and jump in if you see my lobby

St Croix time is really good
Sardegna time is good too
I myself crashed a few times at dragontrail last night.

I'm on the road till Sunday.Otherwise I jump on and help you out.

Our Thursday night and Sunday night practice.Bobbies would be very beneficial for this.

In my opinion you're ready for sunday night races. Come on in meet everybody add to that friend's list and you'll be feeling comfortable in no time.
 
My alone lap times in no way reflect my abilities to race alongside other vehicles.

Per the 100 pages i had to read and agree too when I signed up to GTP it is my responsibility to maintain my line and never impede the progress of another vehicle or incident reports need to be filled out - I would spend more time filling out incident reports than I would racing. And unless the rules are ******** I disagree. The rules apply to some but it depends on who you are is my experience in life.

I believe there was a big controversy with regards to the racing boundries and some going beyond those boundries and it not being enforced - I am new and can pretty much figure I may have been penalized as a newbie? Not sure the lords of GTP would appreciate me running folks off the track if I actually tried to compete att his point in my residency here at gtp.

I understand and appreciate what your saying - but I'm definitely not comfortable enough to attempt a event without having the real world experience and practice and the resulting confidence from that.

Thank you for your reply and I appreciate your kindness Mr Rad - but I respectfully disagree.

Its all good - I will continue to build confidence and practice - we shall see where it ends up in time.

Thanks for all you do
