I had this book which had either a stor or a poem for each day of the year i loved it

 

[berty1979]

What, you mean you used to be a child?
Im not having that, I always assumed you were forged in the fires of mount doom.....or is that Etid?

 

[Ellis]

No Etid was found in a Bin outside a prom

I was the result of a horrific scientific experiment

[DrifterJoe]

I may join you guys for the race tonight, I'm from the IndyCar series.

A couple of questions:

Is bump drafting allowed?
You list racing softs as the tyres for this race, does this mean the 2 compound rule doesn't apply for this race?
Where will cars be allowed to rejoin the track after pitting? (It's usually after turn 2)
What are damage, slipstream, and grip reduction set to?

Also, one of you said they'd be 3 stopping, yet it will most than likely be a 1 stop race.

 

[Ellis]

That was in relation to the Trial mountain race we have on sunday drifter joe

 

[DrifterJoe]

OK, nevermind about the 3 stops then.

Can you answer any of the questions about tonight's Indy race?

 

[smuffyatfcp]

I'm up for Indy race. Raced IZOD with Tom

Drifterjoe- 2 compounds does not apply

slipstream- low
grip reduction- real

Smuffy you need to add me you only have 15 mins!

 

[cgr-10]

It really does play up at the most inconvenient times. I'm still NAT 2 wired with high BW so I can only assume I had incompatibility with a few of the guys in the room.

Bit unfortunate as I was looking forward to it, but oh well, have a good one gents 👍

 

[M55racer]

Does anybody wanna (-> want to) race online?

 

[berty1979]

Disconnected gents, enjoy your race and make a note of the results on here 👍

M5 - This is a championship, try the spot races room or meet people in a public lobby. Good luck.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

Added u. The race was a bit bad for me 👎. Was hit by someone lagging on the first turn and was disconnected at around lap 30

 

[Rich S]

The pace lap involved being bounced around like a ping pong ball. Please, encourage non-psychotic driving on pace laps.

Not sure if Etid/spurgy were bump-drafting, but as soon as we lost them they pulled far ahead. I took 4 liters less than recommended fuel to try and jump the gap, and I closed from 20 secs to 12 secs but it wasnt enough. I should have taken 10-15 liters less fuel than tried to draft off of etid/spurgey and make it the rest of the way.

Practiced at trial mtn with Smithaz, I think this race will be extremely frustrating for alot of people....hope I dont make any mistakes.

 

[berty1979]

Smuffy- Thanks for giving it a go, it was fun till disconnect.

Rich- Shame about some people but what can you do, we are not used to rolling starts. TM is a cool track but without some restraint it may be messy, I got to stay out of trouble though or I will have to kick myself out (strike 1).

Did a mod come on and correct M5's message in red

Can somebody put the results for indy up, I cant remember what happened, I think it was
Spurgey
Etid
Flood
Joe
Mustard
Ellis

To those that completed the race dont forget to send spurgey the prizes or me if your not friends with him.

 

[Ellis]

Did a mod come on and correct M5's message in red

It is like in primary school when a teacher goes of the mistakes in a red pen
Heavens i didn't think mods bothered to look on these threads best be careful. Or you get the red pen 👎

 

[berty1979]

I thought that
I honestly thought we were immune! Im scared now
Did I get the Indy results right?

 

[Ellis]

Yes you did.Have to find a ticket now ¬¬ Spurgy what year ticket do you want.Something before the 1990's preferably.

EDIT BECAUSE I WILL POO MYSELF IF I DOUBLE POST: I thought we were free aswell They must have a massive portfolio on us waiting to pounce ¬¬

 

[berty1979]

Spurgey isnt on GTP, add him on PSN tomorrow or something.

 

[Ellis]

He isn't on gtp!!!!!! How can this be! Call the church they must know if this atrocity

 

[berty1979]

Thats how come he didnt know about the 2 tyre rule
Oh and before the mods get you its 'atrocity'.

Im a mod now

 

[Ellis]

I despise mini mod's they really do squeeze my tit's. Especially the ones that say "use the search button" and don't put a ruddy link. GAWD. If your gonna do a job do it properly

 

[berty1979]

I find the search function really ineffective after the site was updated, it can help to use google as most GT5 hits are on here anyway.
I am glad there are mods as it would be a huge slanging match without them, people need rules to let there ego's take a break and the intelligence to shine through.

Oh and where is your full stop.
