God you must have a slow PS3 it only tok me like half an hour to update it.

It took me 9 hours to download it, so much for Sky Unlimited.

On my way.

EDIT: Who's hosting? I can't get in unless I add them as a friend.

Anyone else logged into PSN and downloading? You started qualifying?

I can't join his room unless someone else hosts I can't race tonight.

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Still? Installing now.......

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Who else is in the room who can host? Is it fixed, low quality and no mics?

 

[Biffy]

Looks like I won't be able to do the race sadly, despite Rome being one of my favourites. Internet goes off around 10:30BST and there is almost no chance of it being completed by then. I would ask that the race be postponed, not because of this though, but because there are several people who are not racing tonight. So far I only count 6 people who are racing.

 

[Goruk]

After that you have to install....

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Postpone until tomorrow night? Extra day to test out the draft changes and give everyone the chance to do the update. Hopefully more people tomorrow. Think symp might be back too. What does everyone think?

Quality is on standart... other than that, yes and yes...

Postpone until tomorrow night?

Tomorrow I can't race, have a birthday....

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

21:47 Update installed. That was painfull.

Personally I wouldn't be able to make it tomorrow because of other race commitments but I think it should be a time that the majority of people can make. If all else fails just move it back to next week. It was a bit risky this week anyway because of the recent update.

 

[toyotsupra]

I'll try and join now

Welcome back mate

 

[Green]

So from reading the forum it sounds like you guys had fun on tuesday, so is the Rome race next week now ?. I'm just installing the 2.0 update now......

Yes, welcome back green 👍

 

[GTP_J_Turner]

Welcome back Green and SymP. Looks like a good week for you both to miss. Yes, Tuesday was eventfull. Took nearly 4 hours for me to download and install the update. Thanks to he guys for holding on for me. But then we had some connection issues (not me this time) and time was getting on. So we have delayed until Next Tuesday (18th).

We did have a half race to test out some of the new 2.0 features. I think the weak draft was pretty good. After both being taken out on the 1st lap, Godoias and myself were chasing each other for about 20 laps. Less speed in the straights meant no dive-bombing into corners and overtakes were confined to good moves or mistakes.

Also managed to check outthe replay with fast forward and rewind features. Unfortunatly, you can only jump to the begining of each lap. You cant rewind and fast forward like normal. But it will make reviewing incidents a lot quicker if we can pinpoint a lap. So if you are the victim of a bad driving error and want to report it, please try to note which lap it is.

Goruk won the half race. Best lap was 1:04.8xx and everyones best was <1.05.5xx
Should be a good race. See You Next Tuesday...

 

[Green]

Yeah took me awhile to download 2.0 tried a few races on online I like the new shuffle races and the new rain settings and new draft should be good. Just opened a room for DTM racing if anyone is up for it.........
