Dang, thats extremely good, IMO. The best I've every achieved is 7.3. My average is 7.5. I think the NTSC version must be slower.

I did a few laps there a minute ago. I can consistently get low 1.28s, maybe dip into the 27s now and then, and of course a good out lap of 1.25. I'm liking the wheel, but my pit stops are dreadful with it, the best I've managed has been 8.2, its those damn buttons on top of the bit that goes from the centre hub out to the edge of the wheel. I there R1 and L1, damn front wheel men are so slow!

Sorry, not this time Z. I'll let you know if anyone else drops out temporarily or permanently, you were filling for Lofasz and Nicksfix the last 2 races and this time around both are racing (as far as I know). The only driver in the grid I don't hear from is DocSix, but I trust FastDuck to tell me when he can or can't make it.

So due to what people have said the PAL grid should consist of:
Fishfash
GT4Genius
Shaggy Alonso
Kakundoo
LewyOs
Sureshot
Pepsi
Still unsure about (or haven't seen or heard from):
Appie (although he tends to turn up a lot)
Marchi (has not turned up for any yet!)
Aussierules (has not turned up for any yet, i don't think)
Just to add, as we haven't heard from Marchi in ages, could you fill in for him Ardius? Jaguar could to with a bit of TEAM play, it's hard to battle for the constructors title on your own.
Other than that it looks like a good, fullish race.
I'd like to wish everyone the best of luck!

Look, no promises ok, but I will try to make it. I know right now that I probably won't though.
I would put other people in marchi and aussierules seats, but no-one else has come along asking to join in PAL.
Speaking of which, I'm officially closing the PAL-Oceania championship, because no-one even attempted to PM me or post here about it. Apparently 4 people were interested, but the interest clearly isn't there.

Just ran several hot lap sessions with Doc and Duck around Nurburgring , nobody is all to happy about the way the game is glitching badly. Cars flying around the track passing you at an unbelievable pace , levitating cars , screen does not even list driver , even though he is running , lagging bad , I passed Duck 2 times in a 10 lapper , but he still finished in 2nd , behind Doc , I technically was 3rd , but was shown to finish up 5th. WIERD HAPPENINGS HERE.
Last night while running practice sessions with RACECAR and CAMikaze , same scenarios were going on. I got stuck in the pits up on the jack , the button icons would not show up.
, I had to sit there for the remainder of the race , 4 laps , but showed up finishing 3rd. We will try to carry out our race as scheduled , but I for one cannot make promises about the outcome , we will have to rely upon the honesty of all others involved in this to try to iron out any snags that may occur.
This has been your pre-race NTSC report.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL DRIVERS TONIGHT

In our Wednesday night league , these same situations happened , nobody could agree upon what really happened , because everybodys screen showed something different , we ended up scrapping the race , no points awarded to anyone.
But like I said , and Ardius just said , we will carry out this race as scheduled and salvage what we can from it.

kak!!!!!
I can't make the race, if you're wondering too.
If Kak doesn't respond by :10, someone can host a seperate race. If Kak has already started his race with people in it, I don't know what we'll do, we'll have to re-race it probably

Well that was pretty boring I thought. I'm almost positive I finished 2nd. I was only overtaken once by my team mate appie but I got past him when he spun and then I drove undisturbed for the rest of the race.

Great race. I had a bad qualifying, bad start then a great turn 1 and a consistently fast race! I was mainly fighting with Appie, which was a good battle as I thought he was much faster. I managed to get away from him by the second round of pits and then catch up to GT4Genius AFTER BEING KNOCKED OFF BY PEPSI!! Then as I was looking for a mistake from GT4, he was knocked off by Pespi and then I overtook them both at turn 1 and with 2 laps to go, I came 3rd.

Well that was an awful race, had a nudge from appie at the 1st corner after a bad start,and dropped to the back.
Then coming back,passed someone at the start of sector 2, but they hit me from behind and my car was wrecked. Got a time penalty for it also.
I was way behind at this point, all on the first lap, my race was already over.
But I fought back anyway and came up to pepsicoke, accidently nudged him, but waited. He then weaved across the road more times than was necessary and on the following full throttle, left right after the slow hairpin decided to brake and I ran into the back of him, what the hell were you doing pepsi? That definately did end my race for sure, why the hell were you braking?
Eventually after my pit stop shaggy was behind me, although coming up to lap me, but I still managed to keep enough pace so that he couldnt catch me untill about 3 laps after my 2nd stop, so I definately had the pace.

My best race yet.
So to complete that list I'd say with confidence that my end of the grid was.
5th. Sureshot
6th. Appie
7th, LewyOs
8th. PepsiCoke
If of course we aren't including the AI, because Barrichello would be 7th otherwise.
I enjoyed that one, got a 1'26.8 at one point.
Small thing of note; Pepsi, when someone is lapping you, don't race them for a lap. I lost about 6 seconds on those 2 laps, which I think ended with us touching going into the chicane at the end and you flying off to the right.
I overtook Appie on the 18th/19th lap, was closing in on him and he pitted. I also remember overtaking LewyOs at the start, his Ferrari going way left.

Good then it looks like the results have been salvaged
.Looks like a few people have had problems with Pepsi, his driving IS really appalling, I was all over the back of him, weaving in and out to try and let him know that I was lapping him TWICE. Seriously, look behind you every now and then.

Well that was interesting. At the start I looked down the inside of Shaggy to see if there was space to pass, wasnt expecting to do, but because of that I was off line and then shouldered several times the whole way down until almost the end of sector 1, leaving me in last or second last I think.
Then the race was normal enough, made my way up to 5th and had a small battle with Kakundoo to get to 4th, passed Appie at the same time as Shaggy when Appie went wide and or spun. Just stayed within eyesight of Shaggy then for awhile until the pits when I lost a second on the awkard buttons. So out on my own I kind of lost concentration, had a few mistakes and out braked myself into the pitlane. Not the end of the world I thought, as I was still 3rd ahead of Kakundoo.
But then I lapped PepsiO, for a second time after waving from side to side the first time to thank him for giving me space, but that didnt help me the second time. Why? PepsiO sat in my slip stream down the whole straight then must not have taken his extra speed into consideration because he then plowed me out of it, damaging my rear wing. He did wait although it was a sector later. As for my progress after that, I spun in a desperate attempt to catch up with Kakundoo. And of course PepsiO got passed again, and due to his slow and unusual line I accidentally clipped the back of his Toyota, sorry about that.
I'm just happy that that race is over, now lets see what happens at the next.

Also, I would like to add, the first time you passed me at turn 1 (lap ?) was a really great, technical pass, there was barely enough room but I left just enough in case. I knew you were faster than me so I was considering letting you passed anyway as I didn't think I would be racing you in the end, but I guess I was wrong.
Good racing GT4!
