Damn. Was just online but can't remember. Maybe 29.3 for S1? 1:44.777 PB before my pedal went (yes I still have my wheel *). After that I never broke 45s dead but plenty of lows. No draft, race room settings, honest fuel load.
* Long story but PC World only cover the initial 12 month warranty. I have owned it for 12 months and 1 week
He was gonna cut me a break and just swap it anyway but they had none in stock. No stock for home delivery either which I thought was weird. He said it's marked 'end of line' so I guess close to being discontinued or a new model (G29?) imminent. Then offered me a gift card to the amount I paid but bollocks to that. They have nothing else I want buy. So now it means I have to take it up with Logitech under their 2yr manufacturer's warranty. I rang them today and told them. They wanted me to try the G27 with a PC (don't have one), another PS3 (oh yeah, I'll just use my 'spare' PS3 that everyone has 
) and with another game. I remember it was doing it with GT Academy so I guess that is another game. So for now, I have still got it but maybe not by Thursday.

Handicap cars feel better to drive here managed a 46.1 with my full pp restriction can probably better that by 3 tenths I think .
With full power i managed a 45.2 , again probably 3 more tenths possible
Had a test race with rolo , sk and weezy . Managed a 45.2 , 45.3 and 45.3 again on laps 2,3 and 4
Race is gonna be tough , ill need some serious luck or this will be worst pts result so far

Yeah, a frustrating circuit to overtake on. Even when people are making mistakes and bouncing off the barriers they still end up getting in your way.
I like the pre-race practice race idea that someone mentioned. Better to crash into the back of someone then, than in the proper races. A lot of people underestimate how much slower you have to be prepared to go in and around traffic.

I'm up for that. Maybe 6.30 Thursday? A 6 lapper provides ample chance to check out the tyre situation too.

Rolo could we have a 2 min pause between each race? I might have a kind of health issue that might need a couple of minutes after a race...it might be unneeded, but i would like to know if it is possible given other racers would be ok with it
(If you need i might pm you about it, it's nothing serious in any case)

We normally have a bit of a break between races anyway, normally about that long.

I will be racing tonight, but I am about 1s off the pace. I'll see what I can do before races though.

Sorry it's a bit late in the day but here goes...29.460 first sec,48.410 second sec, 27.306 third sec totalling a lap of 145.176 ...that's keeping to the racing lines without cutting over any corners...I have gone faster but don't have those sector Times recorded to give you...basically you need to minimise wheelspin thru and out of corners to keep your speed up and that will lower your Times..

YES! My 1st victory! What else can i say about race 1? Race 2 was to be expected with low pp and a 3rd in race3 is ok. 2 independent wins has certainly helped me. In my mind, red and canyon deserve DOTD, however there can only be one so.
DRIVER OF THE DAY- CANYON DRIFTER (For his win, and coming so close to winning with lowest pp)

I apologize to all i have traded paint with this 3 races, i tried to be around to try and see if in race something good would come, but i guess i made more of a mess than other.
it was silly from me to even try and race in this situation, the only redeeming race i had the chance this week was r3 and i had first lost position at the box (1 position on each race in the box... wtf, really!?), than had to surrender to red a position and finally i COMPLETELY AND ROYALLY F.ED up last corner wasting even the third race of the day.
And now it seems i lost teammate too, great, really.

Very disappointing round today and it hurt my title chances. I just don't like Monaco for some weird reason. Hoping for a better track next time.

Sorry chaps pulled out of last race, had a brain wave night.
Never a good idea for me to have them But...
Brain wave 1 try and fit the bars to the car rigitity gain, that got my car banned and no option to take it off
2nd brain wave try out side view 3/4 round second race.
Pulled out 3rd race as I think 2nd brain wave I put rolo in the wall
Was also hard to hear what my car was up to the pack as not use to out side nose.
I think a new rule need setting that's in car, it's harder to see full lines and the game sounds real.
Out side view make the car go in slow mode (hmm slow means I hit more walls!)
But still rolo in race 3 came up the in side of me my line was my line, that placed him in the wall
My not know my gears in out side view meant me just pulling out.
I don't know what view fair, but when racing in real life your in the car not viewing it from an over view of the car!
Out side view a cheat in my view of the game.
Ok game lets you do it so no real cheat.
Great racing all and I'll be back next week I hope.
Got two jobs on next Thursday so will be a push to fit in next race.
Also Ian that first race lag man you killed my car, I will video it and your go wtf.
I know it not your fault and no one to blame pal.
Lag no one fault end of but you need to test for jitter.
Phone then and moan I did it Virgin got my 12 jitter down to 2 sometimes:
Dam 6 on test right now
That's real bad on myside but virgin had to remove there best for gaming from there adds, down to jitter with old lines.
I phoned and moaned maybe I need to leave 1 year contrack ends in Jan.
BT at long last got firbe my way, that means sky got it too.
As I still have sky 16mb that tested and sucked with you and canyon, it's will have less jitter than my 120mb virgin.
Virgin rocks on flim down loads but 120mb it would do.
Plus I guess my kids on it playing game plus me also wife on mini pad, there all using my virgin.
Sorry Ian once see what happened in race one your be shocked, as I have a feeling you did not know about it at all.
Great racing all just wish I could keep up lol

very iffy track there the right line and the wrong line.
My hate thats bend into the tunnel eveyone over taking me there.
I think when gt6 hits us we need a rolo vote on cars and tracks.
I hate wall tracks, why?
I hit them walls to much
I don't really like unwalled tracks, why?
Because I in the grass
Maybe I suck maybe but out side view a ingame cheat (sure game view can be done) not sure it can.
I don't host alot of games

That move in to the chicane in Race 3 was absolutely my fault. Whilst I had made a legit pass on I think Ian, I was never going to get it slowed down in time and the guys in front had every right to turn in. I should probably get a penalty for that really. Especially as I did something similar later in the race, if with rather less damaging consequences for people around me.

Well I'm well chuffed to get my first pole and win in race 2...as for race 3...I'm still stunned I managed to claw my way that far in front and if I hadn't hit the wall I might have won amazed me...
