I thought it was funny, because dolph was offline, but was actually in the video shot at the same time.

Kelrick, port forwarding your ps3 on your router is your friend.👍
 
Sweet video. 👍

By the way, speaking of offline, sorry about last night. I was writing in the chat box when you were about to leave when I suddenly got disconnected from the room. In fact, my entire internet went kaput out of the blue for about 10 minutes. I was going to say "see ya" but never got the chance. :lol:

No worries :)
 
40:38 "DolphDrago is now offline" :odd:

:lol:
(the odd thing is, i never get lag with you)

It showed randy went off line also. Strange.

Well they're replays, so not in real time...:sly: I'll admit I was slightly confused at first until I realized that. :dunce:
 
Watching this replay, at Deep Forest and Trial Mountain, it is painful to watch. It looks like my lag was quite horrible and this issue affected many drivers. I didn't realize it was this bad. :banghead: I'm really sorry. I found out that it was my wife's phone that was doing the backup when she went to bed. I'll tell her to switch off the wifi next time i'm in a race :sly::gtpflag:

Edit: @Psycho Turtle If you notice that I (or anyone else) is severely lagged, I think you can safely omit myself (when you go through everyone in order - I really like it!). It is embarrassing to watch and it does not represent how I drive (all over the place and out of control).

No worries and no need to be embarrassed, the video I used was a replay Ph1sher sent me. Only his car is going to be smooth in anyway. Did you see tzracer lagging at Autumn Ring. Now that was terrible.
 
I hopped in for a little bit before I had to go out and I got to admit this might be one of the tougher combos I've done in a long time. It took me quite a bit to find out the perfect brake balance just for myself. I think just the more practice you get into this the better you will be in the race.

Personally I'm not a big fan of this combo but I'm going to like it once I get used to it. Definitely a very challenging enduro race and should provide a test to your ability to recognize the turns and being able to remember it.

C'mon man, this combo will put peach fuzz on your cajones. :D

And I have DSL, wired, port forwarded, all other devices disconnected.
 
Im going to open a room later today and tonight probably for practice for tomorrows race as im guessing a few of us need some practice to get to know the track better

wouldn't it be more fun if we didn't? I'm treating this one like a Sunday joyride around the countryside. and i will be driving slow in the left lane looking at the scenery, so GET OVER IT. :dopey:

:lol: :lol: yeah thats my mindset as well for this race! Just want to get more of a feeling for this track but still going to be a fun drive around the track
 
Is there a way I can go ahead and start in the back?
I think qualifying is going to consist of only one lap. Basically you can just make sure you're on track when qualifying starts and just sit there until it's over or feel out the track. If you do run a full lap and accidentally qualify faster than someone else, I suppose you could just ghost at the start of the race.

TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - FLEX RACING SERIES

Race 6: January 24, 2015 | One Enduro Race

Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo | Racing Medium

Circuito de la Sierra | 10 Laps

DRIVERS MEETING

The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports

"It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free."

Rules

You are expected to follow The "Golden Rule" of Motorsports and adhere to the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules and exercise Good Racecraft at all times, especially in turn 1.

"Rubbin"

This is a non-contact sport. Let me put it another way, if you are "rubbin", you ain't racing in this league. We will not tolerate individual drivers taking the fun out of racing for everyone.

First Turn

You are not going to win the race on the 1st turn or the 1st lap. Therefore, it is the policy of this league for you to hold your position in turn 1. Holding your position in the first turn is limited to the first turn on the first lap. You must hold your position through the 1st turn and make no attempt to advance it unless the following situations occur: 1) The driver directly in front of you is asleep on the start. 2) The driver directly in front of you runs off course with at least 2 wheels off the track. 3) Obvious race incidents that must be avoided. Other drivers may draft past you before the approach to turn 1 if it can be done incident free. In other words, if you are able to fully draft past someone without incident or disruption to the other driver(s) with a reasonable distance before approaching the first turn you may.
This rule is in place for 2 reason: (1) to avoid incidents in the first turn, and (2) so that drivers doing their part to avoid incidents in the 1st turn of are not taken advantage of. There is no sense in causing an incident in the congestion of the first turn. Furthermore, it is inappropriate to take advantage of other drivers doing their part to keep turn 1 incident free. Once again, you may not attempt to pass once in the braking zone of the 1st turn of the 1st lap. If a complaint is filed, the decision we make will be one that promotes an incident free first turn.

Dive Bombing

Dive bombing is unacceptable
, and only results in accidents. It is not the same as passing under braking. Dive-bombing is when a trailing car intentionally brakes late to dive underneath the car in front of them as they are turning into a corner. The trailing driver must move to the low groove for at least 3-4 seconds prior to corner entry, so that the leading driver can see the trailing drivers intentions in his mirror. However, running the low groove is not a guarantee that he will allow you to pass, it is only an indication that you wish to pass him on the low side.

Procedures

Until everyone has accepted the TURTLE RACING LEAGUE "Community" invitation and we have more experience with the "Community" function we will run the races in an open lobby. Go to "Open Lobby" and check the "Friends Rooms Only" box and look for TURTLE RACING LEAGUE - FLEX RACING SERIES and enter. Races will begin at 10pm Eastern time.

Connection Issues

Please follow the procedures below to help minimize connection issues.
Step 1: Reboot your modem/router
Step 2: Reboot your PS3
Step 3: Clear your GT6 in game System Cache

Pit Stops

Drivers need to be very careful entering the race track when exiting the pit. Please look at your map to see if other drivers are near the pit exit. Drivers exiting the pit need to stay in the pit exit lane until the track is clear of cars on the track. Cars on the track have the right of way.

Quitting

Drivers are expected to finish races no matter what position they are in. Rage quitting is frowned upon! :grumpy:

Microphones

Although you are welcome to use microphones during the race, they should only be used to communicate your proximity to other drivers in order to avoid an incident. Otherwise, either mute them or make sure any background noise in non-existent.

Reminders

1: Hold your position and do not attempt advance it in turn 1 of lap 1
2: If you go off track make sure the track is clear before you re-enter
3: If you cause an accident you must wait and give the position back
4: Watch for cars on the track coming out of the pit, stay to the inside

Race Incidents

Legitimate complaints are encouraged, they insure a better racing environment for everyone. Complaints should be addressed by "Private Message" to the race steward of the race in which the incident occurred. Please include race number, lap number, and time of incident. A ruling will be announced after a video review by an independent steward. All racing incidents or racing related issues shall be dealt with privately and under no circumstance mentioned publicly.

Final Note

Race Clean and Have Fun!
