Wow, incredible racing tonight, absolutely intense edge-of-the-seat-no-blinking stuff. If anyone was wondering why we were all whining about wanting 600PP with S2 tyres back at Suzuka, just come and be a part of this event! Lots of credit to GTP_BurnOut for setting this up, it's becoming another classic. I was supposed to head out at around 1am, I just logged off and it's gone 4am here
Here goes the Oscar nominee roll again...FAK_EV1L, bloody hell mate you're from another planet right?! Started out in the Clio and looked imperious, then took on the tuned Skyline coupe and engaged in some fantastic pack racing. This guy never makes a mistake! Right on his tail were Chronos_GTS and GTP_JvM in their NSXs. Chronos I knew you were quick from the Official PSN forum time trial competitions but it was great to finally get to race you. Super-clean, super fast and always at the front come the end of the race.
JvM, you trying to out-180 me now huh?!! You know you and Theewar loved my 180s, yes you did. Yes. You did.
Seriously mate, great driving in the NSX. When you get out front you're gone! At least I was able to race you a bit more today like in the Evora days, I was much better today than last night. Speaking of NSXs, GTP_Paulie, was great to finally meet you on track having used so many of your tunes, and sure enough you're as good a racer as a tuner. For someone who had to get used to the NSX again you were pretty damn hot...those races at the end with you, Matt and Theewar were intense!
Wanna_B, mate, you are competitive enough in that 350Z, please don't get any faster
Very clean driving and I think you're quicker than anyone else in 130R in that 350Z. There wasn't anyone you couldn't keep up with. Amazing standard of competition tonight.
Matt/GTP_MJH, mate, you've seriously improved and are now bang on the pace! You were leading a number of races right? Really sweet ride you got there with the red F430 and don't worry about the taps mate, we all gave a few out tonight and as always it's all accidental and part of the game. I have a feeling we'll all be chasing you by the end of the event!
Did anyone else see how good Sinsemila was with his Viper? Super smooth and clean, courteous as ever. Not to mention damn fast. I know there seems to be as Paulie puts it PD favourites, but I've seen competitive Vipers, Clios, NSXs, F430s, 350zs, Skyline Coupes, Californias (nice one GTP_PASM!)...that's a lot of varied competition right there! I know a lot of it is down to the drivers, but I saw all those cars lead/win at some stage.
Warren, we had some crazy races tonight mate..did I psych you out when I lined up facing you on the grid?
Naaaah didn't think so! Two very on-the-limit shiny blue F430s and some superb tag-team wingman racing there...I have every confidence going side by side with you into corners and your PSN message was bang on the money, this is what GT5 is all about. Your "DUDE..hardcore lol" message had me in pieces mate, I really need to sort this Skype situation out asap.
Hope I didn't leave anyone out, really can't wait to catch you all on track again. Thanks for a memorable night's racing. Above all it was a great deal of fun.
But seriously my 180s at the start own you all
All the best
