Shame about the wally eh? :lol:

"Then there was the matter of a WALLY on the track, I think his name was optimus or something, couldnt drive for toffee."

Thats the ZC for you....it was my gears I tell you! ;)

Couldnt resist it after your debut with your new wheel, lol. Suprised its taken you so long to pick up on it optimus:lol:
 
sorry guys i won't be able to make this week as working saturday morning, i could squeeze it in but i don't want that time pressure as work always comes first
 
Hi guys, sorry I missed last week. I will make it this week.

Can you do me a favour and race my B-Spec drivers for me if we're friends? Just started using it. I'm racing all yours. Thanks
 
I know it's off topic but id rather ask people I (kind of) know, who's seen the new GTA V trailer? And who's getting excited that it's a new san andreas? Or is it just me being sad in my virtual world, lol (don't answer that by the way)

I'll go and have a look, totally missed any announcement that the fifth installment was on it's way! And to be honest figured any new GTA would have been an XB exclusive the way R* work these days....ah what happened to those GTA3 days on PS2????
 
Just watched it, and I have to say, its looking like the GTA game we should have had for the PS3, as GTA III was for the PS2, not that GTA IV was a bad game, its just V is looking decidedly more polished and improved! Time to say goodbye to any freetime again...so when is it out?
 
GTA V looks good so far, I didnt play the last one as I didnt have a PS3 at the time. But Ive loved the series from the start.

My times for tonights races:

1:08++ for the rally track. Not done any rallys in ages and struggling to get the the cornering right.

1:16++ for NP. Good track again Omnius some tricky corners mixed in with some good flowing sections.

Looking forward to tonight....please excuse any bad driving tho as I will be pretty drunk come race'o'clock!

Also my wife and I have had out 12wk scan yesterday so all is go for the next addition to the family...!!!:)
Need to see if I can juggle parenting and gaming this time round as I couldnt manage it the last time:(
 
Omnius, sorry for the short notice but I am going to have to bail out of tonights Trident event. The wife has took the kids to the fireworks and will be returning just as we start with loads of people coming back for a few drinks. Sorry for short notice, but I would rather pull out than try to race with loads of distractions. Gutted as this is the first one I have missed. May try and get in for last race if its quietened down. Sorry mate :grumpy:
 
Quiet Trident this Friday......I'll finally be able to aquire some points! :lol:

Also, look out for our new driver - Buraspo! Lets see how he performs 👍

BUGGER!!! :grumpy:
 
Another good nights racing; although that first race done my head in!! Maybe my car was too light or maybe my wheelbase too short....
I had posted fairly good times in practice but hadnt accounted for the dust when actually racing!!! Damn you dust!!

Race 2 was on a quality track and I thought I was doing well, but after some damage I couldnt recover so hey ho...

As for race 3 I wasnt prepared for the night race as I hadnt checked the regs.....my bad caused me to go from 1st to what I reckon was last.....

However I still enjoyed myself and look forward to racing with you all on the 25th.
 
Hello gents. Disappointed I missed racing tonight - had to DJ at an 18th birthday party after work. Making progress, however, with getting the true 5.1 set up. Wanted to run it by you all to hopefully get some advice. Up in Belfast at the weekend there, saw a Sony Centre so popped in to see what they had to offer. But I tell him I have a Panasonic TV and wanna run the Viera Link like Sony have with their Bravia Sync. So he shows me Panasonic stuff on the computer instore.

He suggests the SCBTT270 - http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_...ecification/7295745/index.html?trackInfo=true

and the SCXH150 - http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_...ecification/7296147/index.html?trackInfo=true

Both are pretty much identical in every way apart from the 270 being Blu-ray and the 150 being DVD. I have no need for the 270 so am going for the 150. Both have an optical input and an HDMI output, both have the same 1000w power. He suggested wiring the optical output from my TV into the optical input of the 150, except my TV doesn't have an optical output. What he was saying was the exact same way I have my current setup configured - which isn't true 5.1, just left and right - so I didn't see the point in buying it if it was just gonna be the same.

Then I had a little think... My initial idea was running the optical output from PS3 into the optical input of the 150, then the HDMI from the 150 to the TV, until he informed me that optical only carries sound, not picture also. So my second idea is, can I run HDMI output AND the optical output from the PS3 at the same time - the HDMI carrying picture to the TV, and the optical carrying sound to the 150???

Would this work? Would I then have true 5.1? Or is my plan saturated with flaws and pitfalls? :grumpy:
 
Yes you can, I run HDMI for video (then have the volume on my TV turned off) and Optical to my decoder for my 5.1

Simple! You will see when you set your audio/video that you have the option to set both separately. HDMI for video and Optical for audio :)

Good racing all round, and even with some of our regulars not here this Friday, the addition of our new driver - buraspo - made it a good event none the less.

Its looking like buraspo is one to watch! Very pleased he 'found' out group and decided to enter....hope its what he was expecting and it proves that its worth anyone having a go one Friday to see what they think. So if there is anyone out there who has been watching what goes on in here while on GTP, come along and join in like buraspo has done 👍

One matter to address though (it could have been sorted on the night) if anyone does take someone off or gains an advantage through accident by knocking another driver off, all I ask is to allow that driver back into position. I know sometimes it can't be helped and we don't have any issues with anyone's driving ability, not after this length of time we've been running the TRIDENT GT, but on lap 5 of race 2, there was an accident between Barnezy318 and stanepoke....now having watched the replay from multiple angles it appears as if Barnezy318 side-swipes stanepoke (no other explanation as they were on a straight section) this caused stanepoke to veer off and onto the grass which effected his cornering ability at the next turn sending him into the opposite barrier, damaging his front left suspension. If Barnezy318 has slowed to allow stanepoke to regain his position rather than trying to keep race speed, I think the following crash would have been avoided.

With this in mind (and the previous event around Spa with the corner cutting and Barnezy318 causing jamesybograt and R063R_GL4560W to go off - see highlights) I need to add a penalty to Barnezy318's points.

So to remind everyone - we 99.9% always have clean and fast races, and I only add penalties to even out the rewards, otherwise there is no reason to try to create a clean racing enviroment. So if in future we end up having accidents which you know has benefitted you, please in the interests of fairness, just pull over and let your fellow racer back into position :)

Above all else, we all know its not done on purpose :cheers:

Another great night at Trident GT, although I could have done better. Didnt think i was gonna make it all at one point, so to be there for the 2nd race was a bonus. I had been practicing with jamesy during the week in the viper and was getting 1.16.xxx, then forgot to check my tyres last night and when I pitted discovered I was on RH when the tyre option came up on screen, and pressed X without changing them, so pitted again to get RS, but by then it was way too late in the race to do anything. The 3rd race caught me out a bit, it was bloody pitch black and I struggle getting around Nurb when its light.
 
Right, totally off topic and extremely cheeky, but as I spent Friday nights with most of you I thought I would ask. I am taking part in Movember, by growing a moustache for charity for the whole month of November. Some of you may be doing it aswell. If any of my online friends would like to support me let me know and I will PM the link to you. Like I said, I know its cheeky, but I wouldnt hesitate to ask people in the pub or at work, so why not ask the people I spend most Friday nights with.
Much love.
