I got disconnected from the server because someone else is using the connection right now but... what the hell happened in that last race. Or am I the only one who saw all the times and positions going crazy? xD

Awesome race by the way guys, had some great moments there with pitihawk and CSS... after my PERFECT false start lol. I almost start crying when my car touched the grass in the last two laps... tyres betrayed me. Fortunately pitihawk and CSS were battling each other, that gave me time to recover.

I hope you don't start thinking I'm good or something, I've been practising my ass off with FWD cars with GT5, damn those Kusabi time trials. And Autumn Ring is one of my favourite tracks from GT1 :dopey:

The last race was strange, no start signal and no updates. I was last, but apparently finished second. All within 0.013 seconds... And then we never got back to the lounge after the race.

Good fun tonight though, even if I burned my tires way to rapidly.
 
Despawn, Im glad you burned your tires off and had to pit, I didnt come in last :P That was a bad course to try manual with no aids but abs1. I kept trying not to get penalized by going off the track lol.
 
Haha, I guess my pain was your gain.

Anyway, I'll host the race next time, currently considering which track it will be. I'll let you know as soon as I have decided. Guessing I will decide within the next few glasses of wine ;-)
 
Today was a really nice and fun, had a couple of battles, in my defense i have to say i hate that track, but had fun.

BTW, could anybody hear me tonight??

I couldn't :(

Sorry to those I bumped slightly, wasn't my intention

No worries sir! We are all having a good time racing, bumps happen. I (and I think we all are) ok with bumps as long as the person isnt being an asshat and intentionally doing it. We are "fun racers", with the focus on fun. 👍
 
Race was good for first 8 laps with some fierce close action. Then I couldn't keep up anymore. Finished 6th /8 so gotta be happy now :)
 
Had a great night last night. :)

Had a good battle for 4th with despawn. Apologies for the shunt from behind on one corner which sent you off the track. Totally my fault, going too fast into the corner to try and take you on the inside. Classic shunt...should of got a big penalty for carelessness. Will be more aware of that. Personally, though I don't see any issues with cars squeezing through on the inside...contact inevitable...I got done a couple of times by this....best to keep a tight inside line going into corners...

Maybe we should look at 'heavy penalties'......:nervous:

Love false starts...once again I gained several places going into the 1st corner...though just can't keep up with the likes of piti and CSSdk..I seem to lose too much speed at times on the track...

Signed up for next week...aim to do 100 laps before Monday...:crazy:

Try the endurance race at Laguna Seca, i think is 200 miles? i can´t remember, but is a good race with a stock honda nsx with sports medium , and a good practice

I know how you feel, I have had the same issues with hedi666 the last couple of races and with edgeypoo last night... I still can't believe how fast he was able to drive around the track. I gave everything I had, but he was easily 1-2 seconds faster per lap, and it took every trick (legal) in the book, to keep him behind me... but in the end my tires were gone and I just couldn't fight him off anymore...
 
Great fun again lastnite.
But made major c@#k up on start. Forgot we were using FF cars and used handbrake to hold car back on start.( Dont work as not braking the driving wheels like FR cars).....doh.

After finding myself in about 6th in the first corner from front row, i was well miffed.
Pushed abit too hard and ended up second to last, so decided to pit in on lap 8. Worked faily well and ended 6th i think.

Needed to be atleast a 25 lap race for that to work out. Still great race anyway.
 
Hey guys, DJ Invited me to this thing. A nice Monday Night series may work well for me. When/where's the next race?
