Way to deprecate yourself there mate.Just because you're not at the top doesn't mean you're insignificant.Without slower drivers, the faster drivers wouldn't have anyone to beat, which should make every driver just as important.

Anyway, I'm gibbering, don't have my PS3 here so have nothing to do lol.

Just a little self deprecating humor.. I try not to take things too seriously.. after all, it's a video game.

In my opinion....From now on, drivers should wait until Agro's room it's up for @ least a few minutes. Drivers entering the room right away, when it's not fully synced & established, causes all kinds of connection issues. So basically, drivers impatience ends up prolonging the race start. Please, everybody knows better by now. When AGRO leaves to open a new room...go pee, smoke, readjust ur cars settings in ur garage, whatever. Just give him some time. Also....everyone should probably have practiced & gotten their setup straight b4 u enter the race room. This will also speed up the race start process. Do what u like tho. This is just my opinion

Results are out for rounds 1-4 Next I'll be announcing the team formations that will be based on points gained and general performance while racing.

Nice one Agro!

Got to say, 15 out of 16 racers on Sunday turned up, including some of the fastest drivers around, even the reserve drivers are quick! Excellent series and glad people are sticking with it... and well done to Evo from coming back to win, pretty special performance! (though I was rooting for comeback Chris!)

Red Bull Ring shines brightly on Chris, I almost ran out of fuel, and not to mention the first lap chaos

And in Trues series I DC and IP had pitstop bug

 

[RacingHardTV]

"6. August 30th- Nurburgring Type V" is that the short Nürburgring GP version (no Ford, Dunlop and MSC corners) or is there the Nordschleife added?

 

[Przem98]

There is Nordschleife added

Let me know what you guys think about the team formations
I based it on general performance and pace, and loosely on points gathered since some people have not participated in every race. It's hard to form teams like this, since a majority of the full timers are so fast and only a few are actually back-markers.

Race 6 at the Nordschleife looks to be dry for sunday.

I think since ISDL is so fast on ds3, him & peir (also ds3) should be paired together. It'll be pretty hard for ip to give advice & setup info designed for a wheel user to ds3 user....just a thought. Otherwise, I think team's are pretty fair

 

[GT_Vette]

Can we name our teams?

Yeah of course. Name your teams anything you want

Teams are mostly based this way to give the people in the back an incentive to compete for themselves and their team. Hopefully the team standings end up fairly even in the long run. I'll post the newly made team standings tomorrow 👍

 

[DannyB013]

I know this championship is full up now, so I'll be IN if there's a space available for tomorrow's race

 

[MC CAULEY]

Put me down as a reserve for the Spa race on the 20th. Come race day if there's no places then no worries. At least I got to take this car out for a run around Spa.

 

[ISDLdriverGT]

I'll try to be IN 30 min before Q. This race will be just for collecting points to the championship...

 

[GT_Vette]

Q room is open.

 

[GT_Vette]

Provisional results:

 

[Weider]

Wow, well done in Qually Danny!

Can someone tell me the story of the race, how did Agro do it again from the third row! (Great result!)

See you all at Silverstone

 

[ScuderiaLucas]

Wow, well done in Qually Danny!

It's Nurburgring anything can happen on such a tricky track!

Lol don't mind me in last I wanted to see the start since I wasn't able to be on for too long but decided might as well do Q

 

[DannyB013]

Cheers mate! Agro had a very good start, was second I think after the first corner and then took the lead off me half way through the first lap! He then had the edge over everyone else from then on 👍

 

[GT_Vette]

Yeah I was pretty happy with that result to say the least. I had a great start and then was able to pass Danny at kesselchen. I hit the wall at wippermann lap 2 and lost about 4 seconds, so IP then got passed, but somehow I passed him in the pits From there I was able to lead for the rest of the race with IP 1 to 4 seconds behind breathing down my neck the whole race. Luckily I was faster in the section before the long back straight so he was never able to get in my slipstream there and pass me. Plus the slightly lower downforce I had helped too. He actually crashed at schwabenschwanz on the last lap trying to get within my slipstream for the back straight. I think I would've been able to win by a second or two anyways, but who knows.

I was under pressure the whole race. I was surprised I didn't make any big mistakes the whole time. My hair was soaked with sweat and when it was done I was jumping in my seat

 

[GT_Vette]

Race 6 Results are up. Team and Drivers points have been updated 👍
