I'll just make sure I get home one way or another so I can race. Been enjoying the GTR too much to miss out the last opportunity to use it in VLN.

your on a island Adam, how far from home are you?

changing colour to pearl Orange

 

[adam46]

IGNORE. I clearly can't use my laptop :/

 

[jonnyb1990]

changing colour to pearl Orange

Haha, I think the implication was that it shouldn't be orange related at all...
If you are determined, REST's car is quite a red orange so if you go for the more yellow end you'll probably be okay.

 

[Gillard17]

the orange looks quite similar to the one in my pic.
I cant paint the car in many colours or ill puke. Like white/black/blue/orange/red are all gone. Thats only colour you could paint it in without puking. So ill leave it orange for tonight and we'll have to see after i guess

 

[LancerEvo7]

That orange is almost the same as the orange REST is using.

 

[TDZdave]

yellow is available

The only problem with had with it is that it will mean come Feb we'd have to identical cars in two almost identical colours. It doesn't matter if it's the same colour as a different type of car, just not another GTR =)

We have an Orange GTR (REST) and now a Black Schulz GTR ( FRT). Plenty of other colours available. Blue, White, Green, Silver, etc.

As Jonny said, we are trying to avoid 2 of the 8 cars racing in Feb to look identical in make and colour.....

 

[memto89]

Please can everyone make sure they are online and ready for when the lobbies open!!!!! we do not want to keep re opening new lobbies just to people can attend

 

[RACECAR]

[LancerEvo7]

I'm on, just waiting until you guys put up the rooms.

You'll be waiting a couple hours.

 

[RACECAR]

You'll be waiting a couple hours.

Better to be way too early then way too late. Just hope the servers hold up this time.

TO ALL DRIVERS
Please remember this is a THREE HOUR endurance race, not a one lap sprint, so please remember the old adage that you "cannot win the race at the first corner, but you can certainly LOOSE it"

And with Heavy Damage and a 15 mile lap, you can also ruin a race for others around you so PLEASE exercise caution and maturity throughout the race, but in particular in the early stages when the cars are all bunched up and one mistake can affect many other innocents.

The Stewards will view any over ambitious or over aggressive moves as poor driving and penalise accordingly. You have been warned!

 

[Ninners]

Isn't slipstream strength on real as stated in Drivers Brief?

 

[sk8er913]

Actually I'm feeling a lot better today, the room opens in 3 1/2 hours right?

 

[Gadget334]

Isn't slipstream strength on real as stated in Drivers Brief?

Thanks Nin. I've corrected that now.

 

[Gadget334]

Actually I'm feeling a lot better today, the room opens in 3 1/2 hours right?

Nope.....Spec check in 2 hours, room opens in 1 1/2 hours so get your skates on

 

[Gadget334]

Just a final check, particularly to VLN debutants, please ensure that you have all PSN Friended your Room Hosts for tonight

 

[jonnyb1990]

Official Room opening time in 60 minutes

 

[Ninners]

I must say that rain would be a nice addition just to see how it effects us on GT6.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'd be fine with rain. It worked last time for me.

 

[Gadget334]

Just a reminder of the Lapping/Blue Flag and passing Damaged Cars Ruling in Memto's Drivers Briefing, which is a NEW rule used for the first time tonight.

"You must over take a car on the left, lapped car stay right, if the car is not on the right then it is not safe to over take (by faster cars judgment). Failure to do so may mean a blue flags penalty."

 

[Gadget334]

Race Room 3 is open

 

[jonnyb1990]

Room 1 Open

 

[jonnyb1990]

Still awaiting a FR from you @sk8er913
