(FGT3) - Formula GT Championship S3Open

[Ives40]

How do you paint the car. Mine won't let me. I look like the BMW williams

 

[Menoita]

I´ve just noticed something: the Grand Valley race coincides with another championship on saturday on which many of the drivers of gold division participate.

What can we do? Maybe we should put the race on sunday? I personally like this championship more and if I had to choose I would definetly race FGT3, but maybe other drivers don´t.

What do you think @IMMORTALPILOT @TRL_Snow @xife10?

 

[richroo]

@Ives40 not able to paint car bud, have to buy new car in that color !
But @True-blue-8 has said in his post that its not compulsory to buy another if funds are low !

 

[zed5274]

yeah sorry mate it's in the GTTCC club, have you been able to find it?

yup, found it and joined

You have to buy a new car, which is why I haven't made everyone use the same colour/livery

I'm aware and currently re-working the calendar 👍 however as mentioned before people should have told me when I posted the dates and not now. It is their responsibility to inform me when I ask, not when they decide and mess the dates up. But the first round will be postponed 👍

yup, found it and joined

👍

 

[Menoita]

@True-blue-8 I also participate on that so It´s also my fault. Maybe the best we can do is only postpone the gold division, so then we do not disturb the others. We could maybe discuss this by PMs

Silver/Bronze could also race with GOLD so that wouldn't work.

I'll just hold a test race that weekend and allow you guys to race. However next time i'll have no choice but to carry on, as I did ask if anyone had any issues.

Also, I am going to say this for the final time. DIVISIONS MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHAT ROOM YOU ARE IN. Has everyone got that, please? It just means you can focus on racing those in your own class. Who knows, perhaps GOLD drivers may not qualify for the main event. It's getting a bit frustrating now for myself and a few others. If people can't listen to what is being explained to them then we don't have a hope in hell of running this smoothly. People either make up their own rules or decide not to read the OP and just because they are the best in the world decide they can bully others and have everything their own way. We could have 5 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze on one room and everyone has an equal chance. If it is that difficult to understand just pretend there are no divisions.

I'm sorry for the outburst but there are a few people which are getting annoyed by this, myself included and all the rules in the OP apply to everyone, no exceptions to who you are. To be brutally honest if no one understands or bothers to read the rules then they wont be allowed to race.

 

[True-blue-8]

Slight problem and I need some input please.

We are currently looking at a break after 4 races. The final race will then be on Christmas eve, and the week after is new years eve.

So we could possibly have 4 races, a break. Then have 3 races, break and do the last 2 in the new year, however I am not sure if people will return to finish the season.

Any suggestions?

 

[Menoita]

I think we should race on the new year. Many people won´t be at their homes on Christmas eve and new years eve.

I am nobody. Post it and I will make it there when my schedule allows it. At this time I will miss 4 races. 3 tracks of which I really like. I'll roll the dice.

Yeah, 24th and 31st Dec will be no race, however that means we will race early 2017 but will people still want to race?

 

[Ash9414]

I vote race on 25th December tbh. Winner takes home all the presents.

Push it M8!
I would think more people would be inclined to making it after X-Mas over, X-Mas Eve itself. Although, I agree that several weeks after going into the New Year is gonna be tough, but there's only so much we can control m8.

 

[potvinsuks]

@potvinsuks i'll try respond to everything, if I don't let me know

Basically I don't think that's the right thing to do personally. The engines would just be some fun thing to do. The cars are expensive enough as is and making people buy the correct scheme will get really frustrating. Having team mates run the same scheme too would be an idea, however in the past when I have asked for that people don't bother listening and then it's unfair on the people who had to sell/scrounge to buy the correct car. I think the more colour we have throughout the grid the better. I thought people could run whatever colour they wanted.

Regarding the teams too this essentially makes it an F1 game. Again, I've tried to do it in the past but it didn't turn out the way I thought it would. Then we would have to add more teams, where people would begin to moan at what they had to run as, and then people would want to revive old teams and before long it would get to the silly point of them asking to run under the likes of Alfa Romeo.

I think how things are now is better. It makes things more personal and less 'official' if you get what I mean. If people want to run the same colour that's fine but I found when you implement rules like that, people don't follow them and everything gets a bit silly then.

Blue,
It's completely your call buddy. If you wanna keep things the way they are, then that's what I feel is the best thing to do!
Nobody has as much experience, and expertise when it comes to organizing and running these things, so whatever you want is all good by me.
I just felt that I needed to respond to your question on this from a few days ago.

 

[potvinsuks]

Yes. If my suggestion would come to fruition, in all likelihood, almost everybody would need to buy new cars, unless you're like me and own 17 of them lol.
However, scratch that idea. We're not doing it, as Blue brought up some valid points against it m8. Sorry guys!

 

[potvinsuks]

I know for sure myself, that there's ZERO chance to make any races on Chrismas, or New Years Eve, as I'll be serving Cocktails on those nights

One other thing I forgot to mention is, if we were to move it to Sundays to accomadate the guys that are in the other league on Saturdays, that works for me. If anything, even better then the Saturday slot..... I would guess, it would work better for a few other people I know as well.
Blue, lemme know, if you want me to start asking some guys if they'd be cool in moving it from Saturdays to Sundays?

 

[Menoita]

What about leaving the calendar just like it is right now? I mentioned before that on 15th october another event coincides, but that was nothing but our fault to not aware you earlier @True-blue-8. Also, my question is: if we move every race one week forward, that means the only race on January would be Suzuka, am I wrong?

I'm not sure. I expect a few people to get a PS4/new sim game so they might lost motivation.

No mate don't worry the suggestion is great. I tried to do it before and thought 'hey, the appeal of running for a real team would be great'. However that idea seemed to fall away and no one was interested in it

I know for sure myself, that there's ZERO chance to make any races on Chrismas, or New Years Eve, as I'll be serving Cocktails on those nights

yeah there's not really much point racing then as everyone will be focused elsewhere. I'll give you some advice on cocktails but will spoiler it incase no one wants to read it

Spoiler: 'Cocktails'

Never half what you put in of rum The other night I had a cocktail (not a big drinker of them, prefer traditional drinks) as our class met up after the day's events. I had to ride home so didn't exactly want to have too much alcohol. The bartender was like 'yeah no worries mate, i'll make you a special of mine, i'll half the amount I put in and you'll be under the limit to ride.'

I couldn't really hear what he was saying but I thought yeah sounds good, if i'm pulled then i'm still below the legal limit. Turns out he picked the strongest cocktail they had and halved the amount of rum, so it was still technically pretty highly concentrated compared to anything else they had That didn't bother me though, the issue was the taste. The low amount of rum became very flat when it was mixed with grapefruit. Either that or it was poorly made. I'd been going off rum/whisky for awhile but that was enough to make me stop drinking it entirely. It was the worst thing I've ever drank and even my friends didn't want it

One other thing I forgot to mention is, if we were to move it to Sundays to accomadate the guys that are in the other league on Saturdays, that works for me. If anything, even better then the Saturday slot..... I would guess, it would work better for a few other people I know as well.

I possibly thought that, perhaps the sunday that week would be better but I think people have other races or can't race, but yeah it's best to look into it 👍 I'm okay to move a race or 2 but I doubt the whole season would work for many guys.

Although what you say is right mate and I appreciate it massively thank you however for round 1 it would be better to have everyone there

No, you are right it would only be Suzuka, although personally if we have a break I feel it would be better to have 2/3 races after the break rather than just 1

M8, I had to reply to this first, so excuse me for being disorganized.

First off, that Bartender should immediately be pulled from the job and thrown into Bartenders School!

The FIRST things they teach you, is to NEVER serve a drink if you have a suspicion a person may be leaving soon, but no.. THIS guy serves you the strongest Rum lol.

I absolutely live by NEVER putting too much or too little of any ingredient in a drink, no matter what. I guess, some Bartenders take more pride in their skill then others. Nothing pisses me off, when someone asks me to put more of an ingredient in a drink.... Blue, the bottom line is, most of the drinks we know today, have been around a LONG time. This is why it's so important for the proportion of the ingredients should always be the proper amount, this way the drink is delicious. I've been bartending for a high end, off premises catering company for almost 18 years, and I'll tell ya. If it tastes like ass, the ingredient amount is usually the biggest culprit lol .

Btw.... Did the Bartender see your helmet? So, not only did he know you were about to drive, but he knew you were on a Bike lol? Wow... I guess rhe laws here are far stricter then in G.B. when it comes to that lol.

 

[potvinsuks]

I'm not sure. I expect a few people to get a PS4/new sim game so they might lost motivation.

I agree, but let's not forget, that we shouldn't take the GTS January release date into too much consideration. We all know how PDI release dates go, and IMO, I wouldn't be overly concerned with the other games all too much, as I'm seeing most of the guys who have been using the new Sims on their PS4's, go back and forth between Sims and Systems Blue. Just my two cents on it.

I totally agree 👍

NO QUESTION! That first race is massively important for sure m8!

Couldn't agree more with having several races get carried forward into the New Year, rather then just 1. It's a no-brainer. I think we think about giving racers with an incentive to come back, in order to assure we have more guys continue to show up, and not only finish the existing series, but to have something carry over to GTS? Some sort of incentive so good, that even if they had a surprise PS4 gift wrapped by KAZ himself dressed up as Santa Claus, would still make them turn on their PS3's .
No, but seriously, 3,4 races is better then 1 for sure m8

Yeah he did mate. There were a few of us who were leaving early but I thought yeah lets just have a drink first. I thought it was a bit strange him cutting the proportion of drinks, but at the time I didn't care, us brits are too polite and I wanted to get home

True. It's been a messy year for sims all round. I think it's why GT6 is still the best atm, it has its faults but at least you know what to expect.

NO QUESTION! That first race is massively important for sure m8!
