I had a great time as well.
Also, Ken, sorry about hitting you in that last race. I intended to make your life a bit difficult by forcing you on a tricky line after you'd had me off, but my truck was still wobbly from the crash and I overdid it. Didn't intend to crash into you like that.
edit: By the way, what kind of weird damage system did we have on? After I crashed my truck was undriveable and horribly slow for a while (even more than usual ;-) ), but half a lap later it was completely fine again.

Pretty sure it was the default, which is light mechanical. A hard enough hit will stuff the car, but only for a brief period of time. Then through the magic of the built-in gt5 mechanics (yes they drive with you) make everything good again.

Oh man, I missed Laguna tonight?
Wish I'd have made it. But that's the greatness about casual racing. Do when you can, don't when you can't!
I have to say I love the whole system that's going on here but someone needs to make real racing thread for us guys who have families and what not.
Heathen?
C.R.A.P - Such is life.

Current lap record for the custom Redbull track: Heathenpride - 0:56:016
Lap records will be recorded for those who like to try beat them so by all means give it a go! To qualify for a record a fellow member needs to be present
The record for the other custom track is 2:16.500 by ken - I forget the exact time but it was a 2:16 and I saw it AND he went on the grass twice so I am calling it 2:16.500 👍
2:16:500 nice.
i managed a 2:22:xxx last night is all i could muster with racing softs on my speed8. i think a 2:24:xxx on the mazda787 is all i could do. kind of a tight track for those supercars
luckily the walls keep you close to the track lol.

This is a great thread. I am looking to find a good place to race against clean drivers. I am no the fastest but I don't suck either. I recently discovered the shuffle races, they are really good at providing close racing without having to go and spend hours tuning your car to match a race adequately. I'm in EST time (NA). Thanks for starting this!

This sounds interesting....to be honest I was just kind of scanning this thread so I'm not exactly sure whats going on but I get the general idea. I'd like to get in on this. I'm a casual gamer and I just started running online the past few weeks and I've realized there are way too many knuckleheads out there. People sailing it way too deep into turns, blocking on the first lap, running right into the back of you like you're not even there. Plus some off these guys are way too good for me. Let me know whats going on and what I need to do get involved with you guys. This thread was way too long to thoroughly read, plus my kids are running around at the moment and distracting me. I just got hit in the head with a Nerf baseball...

exactly, and when most people in a room have mics you'll usually hear the offender shout out a little "sorry about that guys" rather that someone jumping down their throat with expletives, threats, homophobic insults, etc.
Apparently for a whole lot of people online racing is serious business. It starts to feel like the credits they win from a race will get deposited right into their checking account or something.
Oh yes, totally. What I mean by clean is not to crash into others intentionally, or hitting them out of the track in turns when it is more than clear you cannot pass, etc... Having accidental bumps and hits is part of all casual racers' life in GT5 👍

Mate, no PP preference so to speak. Just wanted to make sure you guys don't prefer to race with cars over a certain rating. Sounds good, will try and get on tonight to see what's happening. I'm loving the DLC TC's mind you!

Welcome aboard dude!
Yes we can all get a bit bumpy out on the track, it happens when we all want to get to that corner first!
I actually recommend that the guys new-ish to online racing use the driving line aid. I say this not so you will know when to brake but to get familiar with the driving line of the various tracks because once you know it you will be a lot more aware of it when driving and will be able to race with less bumps.
I am not ashamed to say i use it on tracks that I am learning 👍

I love the track, I am stoked with how it turned out
