Combo championship series

[FLX1981]

Hey I m back from the bavarian beer jungle! But what is this... no Tex, no Zee, no Fuzz?! So who's gonna be there at all besides me (in my not yet tuned cars, oh oh!) and Rommie?

 

[Zeeco_9]

Zee, I will get you the round 3 results but I cannot race today myself.

Okay thanks Fuzzy

No BACKUP??? You'll have a long way ahead of you now...

Profile shows me a Level 1 again in career. Funny I still have the Legends/Speedhunters cars and my Autolog times still shows. Got no money in the kitty and lost all my other cars and tunes.

Steve, Rom and probably Vaxx. You guys will have to try and set up a lobby and jot the results down please

 

[STEVE182rs]

Thank you mate...I am very grateful for your help. I have to grind career again to get the funds to upgrade cars. I just do not have the time to tune and fine tune again...many thanks Steve.

The only reason I did not chuck this game in the bin yesterday was because of you guys. If it wasn't for your friendship and the fun we have, SU2 would be history to me. I was properly *&%$ off

I bought ' Unlock all cars' before last nights races and me, Steve, Rom and FLX did some racing doing the Round 4 schedule. We decided to consider it practice as the guys from across the pond could not make it, and it would not have been fair to exclude Vaxx and Fuzzy.

This coming Sunday we will do Round 4 as posted in the OP. Will it be okay with you guys to start at 7.30pm GMT?

 

[FLX1981]

Jup, I m fine with the starting time.

That savegame loss really sucks, dude. Did you try to contact EA customer service to get your money for that all cars bundle back?

 

[STEVE182rs]

Do we have the results from round 2 and 3 yet ???

 

[NLxAROSA]

If you have downloaded the unlock all cars pack from the PSN store, you can download it again from the transaction history in your account settings in the XMB. 👍

This applies to anything you ever downloaded from the PSN store.

Apologies to you guys thought I did that on Sunday Round 3 posted in the result bit

I do not have results for race 2 and race 3 of Round 2 (you remember the disastrous Round 2). Did you guys do them on the night of Round 3? I will update the leaderboard once I know what the situation is 👍

Thank you for the tip. Handy to know that if a disaster strikes again in the future 👍

 

[FLX1981]

My Round 2 results: 5/2/4, times dunno.

The GT3 Race was a 1-2 flawless victory for Team ROFL!

 

[STEVE182rs]

My round 2 results: 1/ last(pulled over) / 1.

 

[RomKnight]

7:30 is OK to me next Sunday.
I remember that 1/2 for team ROFL

Was 3/1/DNF... (damn bentley)

I'll stop tuning GT cars. It seems everytime I race them online they "auto-tune" for that track. Usually it means to damn slow for a track like SPA. Even worse when Steve's on a Ford

 

[FLX1981]

And the Bentley DNF means you were 5th cause I remember you were behind me... a 1-2 with the Z4, a 4-5 with the Bentley in back-to-back races. I think our problem might be consistency, not the Steves Ford.

 

[RomKnight]

Problem is, I NEVER know how the car will behave ;( which, in turn, makes consistency difficult.

During last weekend practice you and Steve were WAY faster even with me drafting... I don't even have a chance there.

Road America will be another problem. the MC12 is the worse car I've played so far online, not because of the car but because of collision detection. I always said I can ride close enough to scrape some paint and last weekend even braking SOONER ( and i wasn't even directly behind you) I hit your car. A couple of corners later a Mini could fit between me and Zeecko and samething happened

Like I said, my cars are "auto-tuned" for online, unfortunately the tuner sucks

I must confess that so far, at least handling is not a problem like say, a Viper invitational The gearing though...

 

[STEVE182rs]

FLX is right consistency is key, your car had very good speed last sunday FLX, are we back on 10 laps for the GT3 and GT1 race this sunday?

 

[FLX1981]

That was the driver, not the car, Steve! I didnt even tune it... Thats why I couldnt ever make it through Eau Rouge without some serious drama! Then again, the stock tune might be quite good for the bumpy track at Spa. Hmm!

 

[RomKnight]

Not a problem. I've been consistent enough to make most laps within the SAME second (does not mean they fast laps though ) My problem was speed. That being said...

... let me try the stock tune (but I'm not hoping for it to be there when we play)

10 laps it'll be 👍

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

Sorry guys, I will be sitting this one out - actually maybe the rest of the season. That last accident in round 3 at Hockenheimring has reinjured my back and my sponsor has limited funds to provide another ride even if I was up to the task

Actually, I have no practice time with my job situation and have had to avoid prolonged sitting. I truly miss the competition I may still compete with you guys through AutoLog from time to time.

Thanks Zee for arranging the Legends and Combo series

 

[Vaxxtx]

I need to bow out as well. I need to skip a few Sundays.

Family, Football season (NFL), and time stretched between games. I totally love the series, and it was an amazing job by Zee.

Team US2A 👍

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

I didn't even think about the timing of this series and football! It would be sacrilegious to interrupt a Green Bay Packers game EVERYTHING takes a back seat to a Packer game - my wife totally understood this when she said "yes"

 

[Zeeco_9]

Vaxx, Fuzzy I totally understand your circumstances. We have the Rugby Worldcup on at he moment and that takes priority as well. I want to thank you guys for participating in the Legends and Combo series's. It was great fun and we had a lot of good times. Great friendships were made which I hope will continue for a long time. All the best guys

All good things in life come to an end, and tonight will be the last races in this series. I think this series and the Legends have become a bit stale in the current format. I sincerely want to thank you all for making it happen and the brilliant times we had every Sunday. I hope interest in SU2, bugs and all, will continue and we can arrange some online racing again sometime.

A BIG thank you to everyone

 

[STEVE182rs]

A BIG thanks to you Zee for organising the event and also letting me join in, had some great racing with you guys thanks all 👍

 

[FLX1981]

I has a sad. But better to end on a high note, I guess... And I wouldnt be surprised if a certain walisianite would come up with something even better in the future!

Huge thanks for all the fun and see y all tonight at the grand finale!

 

[Zeeco_9]

Well we ended this one on a high note. Thanks Steve, Rom and FLX that was a brilliant grand finale 👍

Results to be posted tomorrow, and any prizes the race organisers and sponsors can come up with, will be awarded. I managed to secure some new sponsorship deals for another series. You guys must let me know what you would like to do as we have an open agenda to our disposal. Money is no object as the sponsors are loaded and open to any suggestions you guys can come up with. It aint over yet

 

[RomKnight]

It was great. The car, the competition, the friendship. All high level (I expected nothing else)

I for one will continue to be around. This game is great and it'll be a pleasure to play with you guys at any time. Meaning whenever i'm online is OK 💡

For any new series, weekends are OK for me at the usual time.

Anything from single make to GT is OK (I really hate works cars though ) so whatever sponsors care to invest i'm in.

Once again, You guys rock and.. see you in two weeks because next weekend there is something worth trading our races for: LAST race for Le Mans series in Estoril (5m from home ).

I think that beats NFL and Rugby (or any ball game for that matter) BY FAR

 

[FLX1981]

Guys, that was fun indeed - as always! I need to get more training again, couldnt finish one clean race, goddamn! But I m so tempted to finally get Fallout New Vegas since its only 20 Euros now and patched, unlike Shift 2.

My ideas for new series: Hot Hatch Championship (no damn RXs!), GT Championships, classic DTM/Retro, Supercar League (B-Class), expand the Porsche Series to races aswell, etc... But we need to see if we could gather more peers.

 

[STEVE182rs]

Yes some very good racing last night, had rom pushing for best lap times too 👍 Im up for any kind of racing or time trial, I would like a GT3 or GT1 Championship tho Thanks Guys great racing:tup:

 

[Zeeco_9]

Steve182rs = Unleashed Champion 2011

Congratulations Steve!! You are a true champion mate. It was clear from the first race that us mortals were going to fight for 2nd place. You are one fast dude and a well deserved winner of this series

Final results of Combo posted. Round 2 was a disaster and due to the lack of all the results, were not included in the final score. Well done to Romknight and FLX the runners up

Onca again a big thank you to everyone who have made this series the great success and fun that was........ Combo 👍

 

[STEVE182rs]

Thanks to all you guys in the event had some great racing 👍 and a big thanks to you Zee this event got me back into the game:tup: top man. Whats next??

 

[FLX1981]

A big round of applause..?

 

[RomKnight]

Well guys, time to move on. A new thread is up. I'm certain It'll continue to be a pleasure 👍
