although the racing was good everything went downhill from the first race, great battle with Ixmmy in race 2 and then thats about it. Suppor trace I was cheated of a win NW... Lol and then second support race my PS3 just gave up. It didn't freeze but it didn't let me do anything
Edit: Might skip next race depending on wether I am really feeling it or not. PS3 helps this... Not lol
Actually there was an upside, my PS3 didn't stuff up once during the races just everywhere else!

I personally saw very few issues outside of a few dc. The racing was very solid and we were mostly on schedule compared to our first round.
I do agree that was a bit of a cheesy end to an otherwise perfect race. Not sure if it was a Joke, or Intentional but.
Though the 2nd Support Race never started.

You call it cheating... I call it a loophole in GT's coding. Honestly, as I went down pitlane and saw that my pitcrew weren't waiting for me in my pitbox, I thought that not pitting would have backfired on me.
But I thought we would've known that in a 5 lap race, we wouldn't need to pit, so I didn't pit until the very last lap, after you's pit on Lap 1 and 2. It still counted as a pit, somehow.

Well PD didn't directly mess up our races but they "loophole" did. I knew we didn't have to pit at all but I thought like Jordie to get it over done with and then I realised what you were doing lol
I didn't even know what I was doing until about Lap 4 of 5, after I realized, "Hey, my pitbox is just before the finish line, I could actually pull this off". I was originally going to stay out and cop the 20sec penalty on the chin. It was a bit of fun anyway, which is all these support races are.

Ahaha I hope your newly found tactic isn't used in the main races! I know I know, I just actually want to win something, the back of a car isn't too appealing lol 👍

Still better than the idea of a Faster Class Car coming up behind you.
Nah, it wouldn't work, the tyres would go on the car before I'd get to the last lap. That and, as I said, I was fully expecting a penalty as I never stopped in the box or did my pit crew come out.

Subaru seems able to pull it off though. On Lap 13 I still had my tyres purely fresh.Nah, it wouldn't work, the tyres would go on the car before I'd get to the last lap. That and, as I said, I was fully expecting a penalty as I never stopped in the box or did my pit crew come out.
Though I would never think of doing it anyway.

My race was a shocker anyway
. Constantly kept looking at the map thinking "I wander where MJT is going to be when NW pulls out of the pits" only to find that we had an extra 10 seconds added on 
. Good racing though, too bad I missed the first race 
.It hasn't happened in the main game, where it matters, so until it does, that won't happen. Plus, if it'd happened in the main game, a few eyebrows would have been raised. Also, Mid-Field is one of very, very few tracks where all the pitboxes are behind the start/finish line.
I don't see the problem at all. In a muck around race, the host (me) forgot to turn mandatory pitstops off, and he thought that no one would pit as it was a 5 lap race. I was wrong, as Jordie pitted on the first lap and Thomas followed. I took a gamble and found a loophole rather accidentally. No points were on offer, and it was just for some fun, so I don't see the problem. No need for a knee-jerk reaction.
Anyways, the actual racing... let's talk about that.

All loopholes aside
I would love to see a Formula Ford championship, they are a lot of fun! Even though there was only three of us!
racing there has never been good when I'm involved.
