FINISHED. TPC GR Supra Supercup. Champion - Pigems.

[Kermit_2142]

Looking forward to tonight. I think qually won’t really matter as slip will keep everyone together. It’s all going to come down to if we can manage the chicane all race without incidents.
I’m not too fussed about a good result tonight but some good close racing I’m well up for, good luck everyone .

It’s so weird how it happened all of a sudden? You went so long never having an issue that I can remember? I wonder what changed to make this happen?

Can't quite put my finger on it either. Tried to jump on last night for a little practice, and got kicked before I completed one lap (like Friday night). And, I was in the lobby by myself.

Reset my router last night, and went to bed. Just ran upstairs to try out the connection...no joy.

I just had similar problems today. Turned out that the ISP had a new DNS that didn't match my router and apparently there was a conflict

Have you reset the network connect in the PS menu? Not sure if it would help or not.

 

[Pigems]

Practice lobby open for anyone interested.

Is @R1600Turbo racing tonight????

Interesting, now it's telling me my WPA password may not be correct, or WiFi connection timed out. May be something to this.

My techy skillz are weak today man.

I "forgot" the PS4 on the network, and tried to reconnect, and started receiving the messages mentioned above. Not sure where to go from here. I'm using Xfinity (w/Xfi Pods). Like @Pigems said, I've never had issues until recently.

Edit: just noticed that message was from you lol.

Hmmm, I wonder if @Granadier may be able to assist with this, he is very very smart with computers. Might be worth shooting him an message just to see.

Race lobby open for final practice before we race

Negative. I hate Tokyo.

 

[Adam Barber]

Completely and utterly bottled that on multiple occasions. Fun combo and I had good consistent pace until the last few laps where I gave up pushing. Hopefully Suzuka will be kinder to me.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Fun race!!! Well done @Drex124 for a solid drive to take p1 .

 

[Drex124]

Here's 40 some minutes of the back of my car.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

That was surprisingly good fun, it looked like there were good fights all the way through the field. Congratulations to @Drex124 on the win, @Kermit_2142 for the podium and @Pigems who should've been there but for the penalty.

Here is the battle for 3rd in the final corner of the race:

 

[Kermit_2142]

I’m loving how the strategies have been playing out, really interesting mid race, almost like a who dare to pit first...


Also YEEEEET over that chicane

 

[El_Beardo]

Points etc will be updated tonight.

 

[El_Beardo]

Alternatively, work isn't busy, and I have time to play with spreadsheets.

Looks like the ballast is working to keep things tight at the top.

@GOTMAXPOWER might be starting to run away with it. Hopefully his ballast will slow him down at Suzuka.

3 points seperate @Pigems and @Kermit_2142

I don't think anybody is running away with it, once we drop score @Drex124 is looking very strong too.

Btw I'm disappointed you didn't give a bonus point for highest jump at the chicane

 

[El_Beardo]

I haven't checked the replay yet not a bad shout, though.

Edit: That reminds me. Need to give @GT5Apex an extra point for best livery at Interlagos.

 

[Kermit_2142]

@El_Beardo did you update the ballast too? If so I think mine should be 4% as I was already on 2%????

 

[Pigems]

@El_Beardo did you update the ballast too? If so I think mine should be 4% as I was already on 2%????

And I’m back down to 98% thanks to my last minute penalty.

 

[El_Beardo]

I did. Could have sworn that I updated yours.

Top marks for honesty, man.

Tactical genius

🤬

You are indeed. Fixed.

Think I might need to run through the results again, to make sure everything is correct

All good Brotha, we got you covered. 👍

🤬

I’ll go with dumb luck!

 

[El_Beardo]

@GOTMAXPOWER @Pigems @Kermit_2142 can you guys check this, and make sure I'm not wildly out compared to results? Started to question myself now . . When I get home, I'll skim through the race result screenshots to double/triple check everything.

GMP – 5th – 1st (+3 = 98%) – 1st (+3 = 100%) – 4th (-1 = 99%) – 3rd – (+1 = 100%) - Total 100% weight.

Pigems – 2nd (+2 = 97%) – 2nd (+2 = 99%) – 4th (-1 = 98%) – 3rd (+1 = 99%) – 4th – (-1 = 98%) - Total 98% weight.

Kermit – 4th – 10th (0%) – 2nd (+2 = 97%) 2nd (+2 = 99%) 2nd (+2 = 100%) - Total 100% weight.

Drex is easy. He was at 95%, and won Tokyo. +3% = 98%. Same for Turbo, if he decides to race another round. I lost all of mine at Tokyo because **** Tokyo.
