It's not the connection, it's the game itself. Obviously with so many cars racing at the sametime, it's going to put some stress on the game.

Our room was really bad the first 5 or so laps. Mathias also was lagging everywhere.
I had a bad race, I found out half way into the race my Brake bias was wrong and that was why I quallified so far back. It also ruined my tyres in the race what sucked as I had to change my strat. I acsedently hit deez but I have him his position back. sorry my brother, I brake really late there I just had a lapse of concentration and forgot I had to adjust my line!
Last lap I lost a place because my luck is just not with me this week.
Well played Tony re
doing the Greeks proud!

Got very bad front tires in all 3 stints...
Can it have something to do that I tried to
keep all wheels inside track at all time...
(not goin wide in the run-of areas)

If PD would have gave us the opportunity to give
3 sec time penalty after the race,(instead of the
absolutely annoying system with transparent cars) for cutting and goin wide,I think a few drivers would be surprised how much it makes totally on 28 laps.

What a race tonight!! 
Every single lap in a battle with someone.
Wasn't feeling that fast before race as I only got 51.0 in practice. Then suprised my self in Q with a 50.4 in the last attempt. That got me the pole infront of Lennox and Peltonen.
The start was clean for me, no contact at all. After first lap me, Falcon and Bidadz were in front. Bigdaz then spun in front of me, I managed to avoid him but drivers behind coudn't. Big crash as I saw in the mirror. That left me Falcon up front having some great battles but losing a lot of time becouse of it.
Peltonen was quickly catching up and by lap 13 the 2 of us went in the pits together 1 lap before Falcon.
Me and Pelt was leading few laps before finish. Then I suddenly see Lennox comin up into 3rd and was gaining quick. I soon realize, that hes on a 2 stopper, with much better tyres to finish the race.
So we went in the last lap. Lennox made those tyres work, he got enough gap before chicane and I coudnt attack FTW.
Gonratz Lennox, great tactics for a great win.

Maybe we should practice next week with penalties
ON, so people would learn what is right and what is wrong.👍

That battling did cost me more though as my tyres couldn't last that long
Hindsight told me to pit on lap 10 but I didn't

Yeah, but what can we do????
Some people are trying hard to stay inside track,
while many goes wide, where there is chance.
AND cut of course....
I dont like it either but only in practice, so that
people wouod learn where u CAN´T cut or goin wide:tup:

quailifed 3rd which was ok.
lifted the brake slightly early n got a false start. only a very short one, but got mugged by about 3 cars down the start straight...had to take to the outside n by the time i got out of turn 1 i was on about 9th... made up the places slowly n was up to 4th challenging john killer when stretch had a dumb moment n pushed me off at the hair pin... 2 cars got by me n then i had to fight my way up thru the pack again up to johnkiller.
caught john just in time for pit stops, decided to let him go a lap early n get the jump on me as it looked like he was struggling more than me at the end of the stint which would play into my hands at the end of the race.
came out after my stop 2 secs behind john but knowing he was quick n also out of position expected us to both steam up on the guys infront.. which we were doin until i over took nycrom down the straight on a 1 stopper......he hit me off n there went another 5/6 seconds of time... he waited for me n let me go, then i was on the hunt for johnkiller for the 3rd time! put in some beasty laps on my mansell charge, including the fastest lap of the race: 1.50.5##
caught up to the pack after the 2nd stops n had n amazing battle with Chris for 3/4 laps n we were both catching john n eppe. unfortunetly me n chris were pushing too hard n had a comple of grass stain moments that cost time.
chris pulled away for a few laps n i basically had no fight in me....... until the last 3 corners where it looks like marlboro outbroke himself as john tried to take him n run him clean off as he couldnt turn in...... but john held on n i took 6th.
bit of a bad result, the speed was there but was just pretty unlucky with stuff... good fun all the same

What a freaking disaster that was.
I was running at like 20fps and lapping in the 54's.
Running 51's consitentley in warm up and all week and a 50.9 in quali.
14 people Max should be in a room the game can't handle anymore.
Someone left the race about 10laps from the end and straight after I start doing low 51's.
Was in with a shout of a podium or a win but nevermind.

You can't stop it, until PD patch it.
Only way is to watch the whole race from everyone's POV and punish them for everytime they do it.
I think most people here are honest enough to not do that sort of stuff though and only do it by accident. I know sometimes i do it when battling others due to either dirty air or having to change my line which causes steering issues. I think if anyone does it and gains a huge advantage, people will notice and report it.

This reminds me the Williams days back in the 80's.. mad Mansell did his beast charges, and smart Nelson Piquet took the Championships
BTW from an old interview of Nelson:
Q: What's the difference between you and Nigel Mansell?
A: 1st. He plays golf and i play tennis.
2nd. He likes ugly women and i like beautiful women.
3rd. He lost three championships and i won three championships.
It was a very enjoyable race tbh!!
Quali was very close I just got pipped at the end by Nissman who put a time in .1 quicker than mine, shame really as I would have been poll had there not been some connection issues.
A poor start for me, the getaway wasn't to bad but I was way to cautious into the first corner and dropped down to 7th stayed in that position for lap or two until a big crash up front I picked up positions from that. I was then battling with Pelt and a few other till I pitted on lap 8, I came out with a clear track witch was very nice to see, Pag pitted on lap 9 I knew I had to get past him to make the strategy work, we had a few little battles till you hit my left rear/I ran you off (I just took the line on the exit didn't think you were that close to just touch me) I then set upon catching Nissman and Peltonen. I caught up with them 4/3 laps from the end and we started traded places, on the second to last lap I tried to take the faster line into turn 2 but didn't see Pelt just to my right I hit him causing me to spin a little and hit the wall, luckily I only lost 3 seconds as I had fresher boots on I managed to catch them up before the end of that lap, I took the lead on the first corner of the last lap I knew I could hold it if I didn't do anything silly, I think Pelt and Nissman started fighting a little as I had a little gap going onto the back "straight" I took the defensive line going into the chicane and managed to keep the first place going across the line.

Might aswell bump this up.
Hope the next race gives me better results as i've yet to drive this car and track combo, and i haven't learnt this track at all. So hopefully everyone will be slightly fish out of water and we'll see who can adapt.

Qualified in 2nd at both qual sessions after Tony. There were a lot of love bumps in the first corners so I got down to 5th (I think). Tight racing the first 5 laps but lap times really hurt and Tony, Eppe, and Marlboro got away and developed a gap. Couldn't get any good pace in the first stint. Towards the end of it I had some great fun racing with Chris who showed superb pace and it helped me just following him. Diesel also caught up on me. Chris pitted on lap 8, me lap 9, and Diesel on lap10.
Tried to reset myself during the first pit and get a new start for the 2nd/3rd stint. For the remainder of the race I think I had better pace than Diesel/Chris on fresh tires but they were quicker on worn tires. We were never within overtaking distance for the remainder of the race but still close so it was a race about pace. Eppe and I pitted together at the second stop and as we're in the same team we didn't challenge each other but lapped well together just ahead of Chris/Diesel. We were lapping 1-2 sec faster than Marlboro and caught him on the last lap. There were an incident in the last chicane and I ended up in the barrier and finished in a somewhat disapointing 5th.

Actually I don't think I need to write a report since you guys already know what happend...
I was fastest @ first in the warmup. Then I was 2nd. Starting the Qualify MR_T3Z had issues not beeing able to see all racers (only saw 14). So I waited in the pits while the other guys did their qualify. Once I got to the track I had only 7-8 minutes (my own descision) to do a lap but the lag issues had already begun Managed a 1'51.7xx something giving me 7th position on the grid.
@ the start I took 2 places in the start but coming out of 1st corner I noticed something was wrong as the screen "stuttered". Tried to drive as fast as I could. People passing me all over the place (nothing ugly). 1st lap was 2'07.xxx. Figured that something might "let go" and the game should boost back to normal mode again. Drove my first lap with warm tires and it was a 1'55.2xx which is not normal. The guys that are normally backmarkers started to fly pass me I decided to make an early pit stop @ lap 7 just to see if that would improve my frame rate drop. It did'nt. Struggled for a couple of laps but then i accidently hit GTAFreak47 in the last chikane I powered on my mic to say I was sorry and that I hade serious lag issues. Decided to give up not to hit any one else.
Now thats how you get the whole weeks practice destroyed in 15 minutes...
Cheers

Good Morning!
Yeah, We go with MAX 14 drivers from here forward.
I was afraid allready of 15, but as I said earlier, we
could try with 15. If it looks like the Game can´t handle
15 then 14 is good enough.
So the 2 newest members is out.(Ayrton and GTP_Marlboro). You can try to join next Season, IF You have proved that You´re mature enough to Race in this series, where the most important thing is clean and fair racing.
I will remove their points also from Tokyo, so the standings
may change a little.
Still more penalties to come, don´t be afraid...
Im really disappointed Guys.....could have done
something more fun today, like testing PP´s to new standard
GT500 cars instead.....
Remember also the rule that unsportmanlike behaviour
outside the track,(in chat for example) will be penalised.
Its very important to behave, so we can have a good spirit
here. If I´ll have a reason, I can easily kick people for those
reasons also.
ALL I WANT is GOOD RACING SPIRIT,
AND CLEAN, CLOSE AND FAIR RACING.
If its impossible with so many different
people, We could also continue with 14
handpicked drivers.....
Just remember, I do this(28players) for FUN, and
if its NOT FUN anymore, things will change.👍
