Bridgestone Tour. FINISHED!

[El_Beardo]

I'm here. I haven't made any progress on slapping liveries on my last 3 cars, but the season opening car is dressed to kill. I got a big sponsor to handle most of the expense while Bridgestone is kicking in those sponsor dollars as well. Was able to keep the cars nice, clean, & simple.

I've got this tasty little red and white thing that needs a number, if you want to join me in my WRT assault of Fuji.

Uh oh. We're going to have fun telling our cars apart come race day. And by "assault", you must mean the sand traps because Fuji is one of my weaker tracks.

Yep! I'm ready!

Pub?
Le Mans?
Am I jealous?

(Yes, I am.)

HAHA, yes.. i could have just replied with 'ok Beardo, i'll be there'.. but then i'd be keeping my excitement all bottled up.

it's actually really reasonably priced to go to Le Mans.. the ticket is about €130 and that gets you entry, grandstand seat (on the start line) and a camping plot for the whole week! Ok, so you got to drive there, channel tunnel, booze and food.. but it's an amazing trip - but i won't mention it again

I need to go this and many other races I been into car racing since I was 8, I have only been to two races one when my parents took me and one about 30yrs ago.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I have been to a lot of track days, mostly on two wheels, and a few races as spectator. But the majority of races I have done has been dragracing. Mostly because it's a lot easier to get a dragrace organized than a track race.
But there are 8 tracks within 3 hours from where I live.

If that is what I think then I could have been way back.
I'm not an outlaw, just always was a petrol head. Motorbikes, as in both choppers and sportbikes, American muscle cars, British Mini's Japanese sports cars and German fast saloons was common in my driveway. Until they got replaced with minivans and family cars.

 

[El_Beardo]

Last minute, impromptu practice lobby open.

0475-4122-5461-8244-6148

Edit. Nevermind. My internet connection has other ideas. Race tomorrow won't be fixed ownership. If I drop connection mid race, one of you will take ownership of the lobby.

 

[El_Beardo]

Couple of last minute livery changes.

 

[Drex124]

Looks like I'll be there tomorrow, and here's the first two liveries. I have a Ferrari done that follows the theme, but it looks kinda crap so we'll see if that gets used.

(Bonus points if you can guess where those liveries came from.)

Ready might not be the right word but I'll be there 👍

 

[El_Beardo]

Ready might not be the right word but I'll be there 👍

Likewise. I've done a grand total of 2 full length runs. Even then, I can't match race settings in practice, as you can't start a practice run on anything less than a full tank.

Looking forward to chasing you and Mistah for 40 odd mins, though

Sorry bro, gonna have to stand down on this race. Feeling under the weather a bit. Sorry for the last minute update.

Have fun guys!

 

[Mistah_MCA]

Anyone got a practice lobby up right now?

 

[Drex124]

Room closed.

 

[NoStopN]

Might have to join you guys in that practice lobby. The concession stand is busy as hell & I need some fuel in me too.

@Illum_Concept

Alright guys, a little over an hour to go. As mentioned in the original post, I'll open the lobby in a little over 45 mins, to give everyone time to get settled in before quali.

 

[Illum_Concept]

Was in the lobby, but my internet is glitch as hell
Will reset everything, fingers crossed.....

 

[DelboyD]

Not gonna say who, but two drivers dipping into the 1:21s just now. That's pretty quick!

Mine has been patchy as hell all day, according to my brother, and housemate. Factory reset the router when I got home from work, and I'm about to reset my connection the the PS4

Race lobby will be non fixed ownership. Because Welsh winter weather hates the internet.

 

[NoStopN]

Looks like GTS doesn't want to let me into @DelboyD's practice room. I should probably reset all of my hardware too.

Max, and Mistah?

Don't forget to delete your temp files in the GT options menu.
