BTCC Online Championship Season 3

[SkengD]

Psn or the ps3 been acting up tonight just real slow to load the friends list

 

[rolo912011]

Same here, and seen it mentioned elsewhere - PSN on the blink tonight

 

[kk20]

I had trouble logging into PSN. Internet connection test showed my connection was ok but I was unable to connect to PSN

 

[RobFocus]

Sounds fun, hope it's better tommorow

The chances of PSN and GT5's server working correctly at the same time are virtually 0%, I reckon

Finally got the Mazda, promising stats but not had chance to run it yet.

Will dupe it over to you when I get a chance, looks pretty sexy lowered with a set of decent rims and a wing

 

[azidahaka]

i'm still to run a lap at monza... not racing 100% wet made it feeling so boring, and not having a teammate anymore takes a lot of the fun out.

oh well what are good time to aim for tomorrow?

A 2:03 would be good, in the dry. The lower the better.

I think i wont be able to make it tomorrw night, sitting in a&e with a broken wrist was servicing the car earlier and ended up hurting it, but il know more tomorrw

 

[kk20]

So do we start race when surface water is 50?

If all goes to plan and there are no hold-ups, then yeah, somewhere between 40 and 50 is the hope 👍

Sweet. No need for full wets then

It would hand the Audis too much advantage I think.

 

[kk20]

The track dries by 8% every 2 mins. Checks and reset take up approx 8-9 mins. So I reckon having surface water at 100 or 90% then wait for surface water to dry to 50% then start race.

Also, Im guessing theres no pit window?

 

[priesty_lfc]

Seen Jack has posted in here, not great news , hope it's not a broken wrist! in the mean time, i'm going to try and make it tonight, altho I have a leaving do and the option for a halloween party but i'm not really feeling it at the moment so I 'might' be on the grid. will keep you posted!

Rolo,

Re the Jack issue, if it is a broken wrist (i'm waiting for him to confirm) he could be out for a number of weeks , if that is the case and as he hasn't actually raced yet is it possible for me to go back into the indy championship? Once his wrist is better and he's available to race there maybe only 2/3 races left so he could also run in the indys for those races and then we'll reform the team ready for S4?

I know it's abit messy but thought it might be abit better as I wont be able to compete in the team championship by myself....... i don't mind restarting on zero points in the indy's if you think that's fair......

Race day

PSN working fine for me

Race day

PSN working fine for me

My broadband and tv's down for the 3rd time since monday. Called virgin and they say it should be fixed by 5:30. All I can do is hope they stay true to their word. I only went and bloody missed the reading vs arsenal game on tuesday because of the 'greatest service provider'. Most probably the best game I've never watched. All I can say is that they've most definetely lost a customer.

I'm on Tesco broadband, it's brilliant, I'd recommend them for anything... phone network and internet security as well

Yup, I can bump it up to buy us more time. Was planning on doing so because there's a chance skengdigi could be a little late, and gedi sometimes can't make it before 7 👍

Correct, there's no pit windows today, but there is 1 mandatory pit-stop that all drivers must make in both races. Today's races are 9 laps.

I'll add you to today's grid as a maybe.

That's OK. I can remove your team from the Team's Championship, and keep Jack's sign-up in place until he recovers. When he returns, either you can form a team again or he can run as an Independent. Depends if you've wrapped up the title by then, I guess You can keep your points because nothing's changed really. I never remove points.

 

[kk20]

Well my internets back. Im still leaving them. I dont care if richard branson himself bends over.

[azidahaka]

can someone tell me what has been chosen for the track conditions in the end?

0% Weather (perfect sunshine)
0 Weather Changeability (so it will always be sunny)
50% Surface Water at race start (or as near as possible - I will set it to 90 or 100 when the track is reset, to allow time for checks, grid and any DCs. Once the surface water has dropped enough, which it does fairly quickly, then we will go 👍)

 

[azidahaka]

with water at +50% i might have to use full wet tires ... too bad we do not get to race in the bad weather with rain on the car flowing around and crystal sweepers on...

is it the same in r2 too?
