Can't match with anyone again, 🤬 rubbish

Can't match with anyone again, 🤬 rubbish

Same problem here mate, and when I try and rematch I just get 'Grid position unavailable'

EDIT: think it was my wired connection the whole time :-(
Anyhow: got into a first race finally and had some good dices with Mr. V !

After soccer more!

 

[oldnail]

I tried a couple of times and had the same problem as Crispy74, rubbish!

 

[DGiant2000]

I think being the world event makes the matching (which is ropey at best) even worse. I tried HSR afterwards and had very little problems getting into a race there.

 

[Ren]

You are undermining this event

You are undermining this event

I did have some good races here earlier as it happens, including 10 laps clean wheel to wheel with, of all things, a Clio which went right down to casio on the last lap. To be honest, the only time I got a fail was when you were there too Ren

I'll definately be back on this one 👍

 

[Ren]

Cooooool 👍
In at 22

The car is so hard to handle. Its almost undriveable!!

 

[oldnail]

It's a shame the matching was so bad last night, and due to matching problems ended up having a great race with GTP_Chris who was in an M3 in the :30 event, great fun sliding around for 10 laps, cheers Chris!

 

[Grand Prix]

Will be on at :52

Hi Guys!

Upfront before anyone wonders what's wrong with me: I am posting this exact message in all threads dealing with racing 550PP RWD Professional at Suzuka.

Reason being: looking at how much (next to zippo) is happening in my own little event from way back then (512bb one-make) and reading into the other threads I get the feeling there is not hell of lot going on anywhere really...

So why don't we throw all events together so-to-say? At least that way we get a nice crowd together and the original idea of online racing (having fun with a good bunch of people) may be restored? Thanks to PD letting us all die a slow death the vibe has understandably run down quiet a bit, maybe it can be revived a bit.

These would be the events involved:

- Expert PP550/RWD Suzuka 10laps (World Event) xx:00 / xx:30 (ripping_silk)

- GTP vs. GTRP | World Event | Suzuka 550PP 10 laps | Clio vs. RX-8 | xx:13 / :43 (EL_ZISSOU)

- 550pp Suzuka RWD / S-tires only @ :20 & :50 (R1600Turbo)

- 512BB '76 One-Make-Event - Suzi 550 RWD - xx:22 / :52 ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page) (Ren831)

- Feed Your NSX Drive!! - Suzuka 550PP [WE] - xx:05 / :25 / :45 ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page) (Synwraith)



I am aware this undermines the initial idea behind some of the events (e.g. racing a specific car), but I'd rather get whipped by stronger cars in a full grid than running a one-make alone....
Maybe commonizing the starting times would create some interesting fun....

Thoughts?

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

Good idea Ren.. Its too many 550pp events running!

I will join for some races @22

 

[Ren]

Yeah, a few people seem to feel the same way....

All we need to do is create a time schedule for an "All-Comers on S-Tyres" event and communicate it. Opening another thread with a header as such would be the way to do it (normally), but in this context it seems a bit counter-productive to put up yet another race thread for Suzi

We'll see...

Edit: doooh... nevermind the above. R1600Turbo's event does just what I had in mind already anyways... So let's see if there'll be more happenind at XX:20 and XX:50 in the future 👍


Update: well this is interesting! After medeocre working attempt to commonize all Suzi 550 events I find myself racing with a whole bunch of my good old friends in "guess what car". It was great!!! 👍👍👍 Thanks gents, you know who you are! Seeyall on the weekend!

 

[Synwraith]

I'm gonna jump into my 512BB @ xx22, hope to see some of you there 👍

All the best
Maz

 

[DGiant2000]

Cracking races tonight with Ren, Maz, Phillip, Wayna, Ross and Roh. Thanks guys, just like the old days

 

[Synwraith]

Definitely some good memories while racing this tonight. Thanks also to Andy, Ren, KOR guys and GTNDC Honeycar tonight 👍

512 truly is one of the best cars in the game, having raced just about everything else in the last year, this car felt like a comfortable old favourite shoe

All the best
Maz

 

[Enigma]

Thanks Andy, great fun racing with you guys

First online racing I've done for a while, great combo the 512 is a fun car

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

512 truly is one of the best cars in the game

So true 👍 I just hope there will be plenty of classic cars like that in GT5

To bad I went over to HSR because of emty grids earlyer in this event Sounds like you guys had lots of fun 👍

[Ren]

I'm delighted to see this going the right direction again Can't wait for tonight!

Think we should keep to the schedule as is (22/52) for the 512 as long as it runs like yesterday 👍 No need to have our classic jewel being smacked around by the admittedly quicker Clios and the likes as long as we have such nice grids, agreed?
