Expert Level: Ferrari Challenge @ Fuji Speedway F :00 :15 :30 :45

[Paulie]

I'll be there at 20:00 in my time (3mins).

 

[Rudi Raser]

great racing again last night. 👍

 

[Paulie]

OK, I'll stop racing now. Too many people who ram you, and there are people on track who are so slow but block like mad/can't find a way past in the 512 BB, so only slow you down to the point of crashing trying to avoid them.

Funny you mention that, I just joined @ XX:45, full of punters.

 

[J-PaP]

I just had a decent run. Had some trouble getting my bearings having not played with spec 3 before and being more used to playing wipeout the last week.

Care to join @ XX:30? And anyone else viewing. 👍

 

[J-PaP]

will be there

maybe its the setup i'm using (or the actual car) but I feel like I'm driving in arcade mode not professional.

I might join this afternoon, but won't be before xx:00

 

[GTP_JASE72]

I'll be there.
Bearing in mind I haven't taken a Ferrari out of the garage for a while. Been having too much fun In my new Lotus

EDIT:

And the conclusion to that race is...

Maybe I have ideas above my station and should go race in the beginner events

 

[J-PaP]

Sorry for the nudge jase. I'm trying to setup a tune while racing at the same time so having some trouble with the car now not being as stable as I hoped.

No problem mate. Got caught out with PP bug that race so was a bit of a non starter anyway.

 

[J-PaP]

pp bug?

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Or should I say 100% weight bug.

For ome reason the game has had a tendancy to put the weight back up to 100 on some cars after you put a tune on it. seems to be mainly the California it happens to

[NLxAROSA]

It happens to 512BB and F430 too. The F40 I'm not sure, but it suffers from another weird PP-bug.

I notice it only happens to the cars in the Ferrari event, The Evora always stays at 85% weight @ Suz 750. Havent noticed on Fuji.

Edit,

Joining @ XX:00. 👍

o/t: I have a question, when I start up GT5P i get the message that my time is set wrong, and it goes back one hour to my real time. does someone know how to solve this? and also, when you say you join in a race at 0:45, do you press start at that time, and is that the time that it show in-game. Because my in-game time isn't right, I never have the pleasure to race against much of my fellow GTP members... thx in advance!

 

[NLxAROSA]

Good one! Joining again at xx:45

 

[Sven1972BE]

Wow, my car had seen his creator and gotten wings

first good race, thanks dutchcustoms

 

[NLxAROSA]

You're welcome. Very nice race indeed. 👍

 

[InTransit]

Had a few fun races just now. I drove a little sloppy in some of them. Apologies for any bumps or taps I may have given. I've got a little tuning to do on my 599 but I seem to be able to hang w/ the Californias and 430s fairly well.

 

[Ren-Tec]

That was a nice race Drama-kyd but i don't know why i was at 645 thou, so i gave myself a penalty and waited til the pack had passed.

👍

On the main PS3 menu, where you choose to watch DVDs/play games etc, go into options then time settings then you should be able to update via the internet. That solved the problem for me.

I have this problem as well. Daylight savings have started earlier this year here in australia, so i first tried using the ps3 update via internet option to set it, yet it sets it an hour behind where it should be so must be something wrong with sony's time system. I set it manually for the correct time but everytime i start GT5P i get that same error about the time being wrong. Doesn't bother me though.

For joining races, if say you want to join the :30 race, what i do is look at the clock on my computer. First i sync the time to the internet (which vista lets you do), then all you gotta do is click on the time so you can see the full clock & seconds, once it hits :30, straight away click the join button in the game & you should find yourself racing other GTP'ers

Im about to start driving, haven't raced in a few days so sorry if im a bit rusty to start with

thanks man, and bicycleshorts.

I think what you said is the problem, the daylight saving time. It's exactly thesame with my ps3. And I tried getting the time right in the PS3 menu.
I syncronised the time now too, so I now should be racing some other GTP ers.

haha, the first race I enter is with you lol. Too bad I had the weight bug, so I couldnt challenge you at the 1st part of the race. Plus I was rusty. And in the last corner I was pushed off. But nice race though!

sorry, double post!

yep saw you there. i stuffed up bad, had an almost 9 second lead only to have the RBE start stuffing up my car, causing me to run wide at spoon Then yeah i saw you get punted off at the last corner which sucked & the guy didn't even wait. stupid jerk

 

[sejtur]

Yes exactly. BTW I'm switching cars now so look out for a black Cali.

hey man, you won, congrats!

**** how can I delete this double post again??

 

[supersonic-88]

That's it for me tonight. Its getting late & I'm making too many errors now. Had some great racing, particularly with thanos & towards the end sejtur I'll probably be on again tomorrow around the same time, so see you guys then

 

[sejtur]

Goodnight! I won't be online at this time for the rest of the week, but maybe I see you at another time of the day/night.

 

[bosmuis]

anyone in at 00?

 

[Squasher]

sorry for holding a few of you guys up in that last race, thought most people stopped using the cali' so I thought id try the 599.
