I think 560 is going to low.

 

[berty1979]

You could be right but we will see.

Got a bit of a calendar going in the OP, Electric hasnt voted yet so this could change plus we have one space open so they get a vote too. I have reserved 1 space until the last 2 competitors make their voices heard.
If we decide on a weekly race we can double the amount of laps if people like but if it is fortnightly then we will keep them the same. I was thinking a January start.

Should we force a pitstop?

 

[cgr-10]

I'd much rather run longer races weekly, that way a pitstop would be necessary anyway.

 

[DrifterJoe]

He's voted now, 14 people have voted on the poll. I'd like a forced pitstop. I'd also be in favour of longer and more races.

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

theres gotta be a forced pitstop..

 

[DrifterJoe]

Shame Sarthe '09 didn't make it in, would've been nice to run these in the wet at Sarthe.

 

[berty1979]

Tom- So would I but it depends on the competitiors. We may be able to go that way as I have a plan to allow it.#

Joe- He hasnt voted yet bro, Furikazen kindly voted even though the hasnt signed up :headbutt:
I am just going with the votes on the tracks bro, I agree it would have been fun.

SM- Agreed, it just makes things more interesting.

Going to need 5 stewards too and a vice host (good connection required) so ill list them in the OP, volunteers please.

 

[cgr-10]

I've never seen a series that doesn't run weekly so I can't see any problems with that mate

Can I ask what the stewards duties are? I might not have much time as i'll be running in about 5 series from January onwards.

 

[berty1979]

Wow, 5. Thats a lot, will you have time for this?
It would mean you have to investigate complaints about 2 or 3 drivers and ff the replay to check your 2/3 drivers pit once.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I presume his votes didn't count then? (furinkazen) I also might be a steward.

I'll be testing Jag setups in about 1 1/2 hours, and then comparing it with the GT40 round a couple of tracks. I already know that the GT40 is faster on the straights and worse in the corners.

 

[berty1979]

They wont once electric and the last racer votes no. Thats why the calendar is subject to change still. Let me know for definate when you decide about stewarding.

Yeah it's a lot This, TOCA, Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series and IndyCar.

I think I can manage that 👍

EDIT: Anyone up for some testing now? Just got in from school.

 

[berty1979]

Ok, if you think you can. Ill leave you off the stewards list for now. It will be approximatley 20 mins work per race. In the FGTC a steward can take anything between 1-1.5 hours

That'll be when we eventually get a new router, as the current one has a few problems. I think it started playing up in august. If I still have the same issues with the new router, I'll probably give up on GT5 online because of all the issues I've had with incompatibility and random disconnects since august.

I can't test right now Tom, I'm busy from any moment now until about 5:30, when I'll be testing Jag setups and then comparing it to the GT40 on a couple of tracks. I'm letting Bob drive around while I'm busy.

 

[berty1979]

A new router should fix it, I have only been disconnected once during an actual race. A few times when I was wireless but its really stable for me. Hope you get it sorted.
I need one steward per team.

I'm also wireless. Had no real issues with it until august. Since it will probably fix it, put me down as a steward then. 👍

Ah so I do the steward report for all the Chappy's?

EDIT: Joe, is there no way you can go wired? Solved all my problems.

 

[berty1979]

Ahahaha, nice try

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Im bored,congrats on 1800th post.

 

[berty1979]

at least your not 'tired'
then we would all be in trouble! Thanks bro, looking forward to letting out your artistic side out later on for the photoshoot?

 

[DrifterJoe]

Tom: My room is above the router, we'd have to have a really long cable going all the way from next to the front door up to my room. Can't make a hole anywhere for one since we're renting the house.

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

When ? What? Who?

 

[berty1979]

Dont forget guys 815pm, my lounge. Wash your cars before joining and bring your ideas for a good shot.

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

What we doing?

 

[berty1979]

Race starts, we all line up in various poses. save replay. Sandman takes cool pictures and we put them on thread. simples
After that we can do some testing.

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Oh ok cool..

Whats some cool ideas so far?

 

[Ellis]

If anyone has the time we could do a video. Look at the GTP Le Mans championship and look at their video. It is epic. Would be pretty cool for the championship

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Ill give it a go.

This is a good idea but we'd need somebody with a video capture card because the GT5 replays can only be viewed on your PS3.

 

[berty1979]

Or you can record it onto a high quality digicam, you need a tripod though.
SM- We have had great ideas so far mate and everyone will get a chance to line the cars up as they wish, best one gets main pic.
