Missing Maffski, Infinital, and tom, and a few others who don't have car pics. Only 11 of us in the room with 5 mins until track reset. I keep thinking that 2 competitive division each with 16 drivers with reserves on standby would be have been a better way to go about it but anywho.

Sorry guys, but I can't host the race today. My grandpa's in town with some of my extended family on their way to LA from Chicago and I haven't seem them in years. I thought they were gonna be here tomorrow but they got through early. Anyway I can't miss seeing them as it's a rare opportunity and sorry for it being sort of last minute. I'm sure Dr_Watson, CSL, Mule, or Nepalii would have great connections and know how to set up the room.

Wish I could race, it sucks that I got this text out of nowhere but I really wanna see them before work... Damn i'm so torn zlcause I really wanted to race. But yeah, sorry.

 

[Müle]

I think I can do it.

I was looking forward to race with you. I understand, family always first. It would be no problem if Im host, if its ok with everyone. It seems Mule has already offered to host, so lets go with Mule. 👍

Nepalii's connection has been wonky recently... but I can do it.

Just pick someone.

I never had a problem in any of your rooms.
Mule seems to DC more often when hosting though, I could be wrong.

I might only get in around 5:30-5:40 myself, I'm sure people would like the room open sooner then that.

 

[Müle]

99% of the time, my internet's fine.

 

[NEPALII]

My connection rarely gets messed up, but when it does its a nightmare. I would like to have the room open about 45 mins before race start, to get some practice done.

 

[LongbowX]

Unfortunately due to the way things transpired, there won't be any photos from this round, at least for the D1 race. I do have a practice session though, which I could take some from, which includes some other people, not just D1.

 

[Cowboys965]

When's the next division race? Can I race in that because I missed D1?

 

[NEPALII]

D3 room?!

 

[carracerptp]

BRAKE before entering pit road because otherwise, the car overshoots the stall and is stuck there for the remainder of the race.

This is a good pice of advice. you still need too do it.

NTSC US Replay

 

[Joshua1994]

Had a pretty decent race.

Started 4th on the grid with Mole, Biffy and Aderm in front. Aderm pulled away as per usual so it left the three of us. Few laps of battling it out and I think either Longbow or Wii joined in. Biffy seemed to slip up on an overtaking opportunity so I stole that and got in front of the pack. No idea what happened on from then, but I gradually started pulling away. About lap 4ish, Aderm had spun on the deep chicane and to be completely honest, I pulled the biggest grin ever. Got past Aderm, into 1st. Led for about 1 lap and a half, then as per usual, the alien came back on to me. From then on, we had about a 3-4/5 lap battle for the lead. Around lap 9, we exited the final chicane with me in front. My first intention we're to just follow Aderm, and whenever he pits, follow him, but as I we're in front, I didn't have the best judgement of when he would. Luckily the yellow pit markings are stupidly long on this track, so I noticed him swooping in. (Completely my fault) I cut across part of it and got into the pit before of him, just. Complete and utter karma, Aderm got out of the pits, with atleast a second gap. From then on, my chances of 1st we're out the window so I just settled for keeping consistent so I didn't have a chance of losing 2nd. 11 boring laps later, Mole and Wii came out of nowhere on the last lap, with me literally having no tread left they caught up scarily fast. If there'd been a few extra laps, they'd easily of overtook.

Overall, seeming at the start of this week I actually hated this track and on a few practice runs, I'd turn left instead of carrying right on T1 (don't judge me ), I'm pretty pleased with my result.

 

[adeadsnipermatt]

Won't let me join the room due to network incompatibility. [749]

I have never seen this problem before.

I have my port forward with GT so I don't know what could be the issue.

Edit: in the room now.

 

[Biffy]

Would type up some big report but I'm too tired after that race

Started in 2nd, and got swarmed as soon as the green light appeared. I don't really race very well with 3 cars very close to me, gave places away too easily and didn't really have the pace I had in Quali. Must of been in 3rd when I got bumped off at T1 by Mole, not that he could really do anything as there was a steaming train right behind him, but that really cost me going into the gravel and I ended up just outside of the Top 5 draft. Going into the pits it seemed Longbow went in a little too fast and got reset behind me, and then his pitcrew decided to sleep on the job and held him up in the stall. After that I tried to chase down Mole and Wii, and almost caught their draft, but I ended up cruciatingly just outside of it, and eventually gave up on lap 20, as I just had nothing left.

Really felt I had the pace today so it's a shame I couldn't place any higher, but I'm going to try and come back stronger next race, and finally crack that top 3.

 

[CSLACR]

Where the reserves at?
At the very least Wardez's spot is open for reserve number 1.

 

[LongbowX]

Didn't really have the pace I had in Quali.

Qualifying seemed to mean nothing in this race...Not with the swarm. I felt people in general were too hard-charging at the beginning. Makes me not want to race.

Going into the pits it seemed Longbow went in a little too fast and got reset behind me, and then his pitcrew decided to sleep on the job and held him up in the stall.

To be honest, I don't know how the pit system works....I don't do races where I have to pit, or races at all... So I don't get it. I don't get this reset thing... My pit crew sucks though. I couldn't even see you guys you were so far ahead. And then I tangled with someone at the back. Race done.

 

[Joshua1994]

I understand we're you're coming from, but I think this tracks big and wide enough for people to hard charge at the beginning, unlike the previous race. Ok, there is the sandpit on T1, but its the first lap, everyone can get around without pressing the brake at all.

 

[adeadsnipermatt]

How will the points work if Cowboy races in Div 3? Just wandering.

I don't agree. I agree with taking opportunities, but many of those were not proper opportunities. It seemed like no one was looking to the future at the beginning. Not just the first lap, several laps in even. But you were gone by then, so you didn't see...properly anyway. Resoundingly disappointing.

The pits in GT5 is poorly executed. Too many times, when two cars come in together, one of the two suffers greatly because of it (usually, the one that's behind).

That's why it requires a bit of strategy, requiring to pit a little early or late depending on the relative speed of the competitors.

 

[paulmac2k9]

i seen some of it longbow as i caught up due to an incident between you and someone not sure who, then i proceeded to fall behind again

That is good to know. I'd have to agree on the poorly executed part, hah. I was thinking about end of lap 9, and I should have. There were only two in there. But instead..well. My pit crew were slipped a few too many muscle relaxants or something. I was planning for the variability, especially after last time... I didn't expect the drop off to be so bad on my tires though. I probably would have be screwed regardless.

Ahhh, I thought you we're just talking about the very beginning and what not, my bad! But hey, that's racing I guess, just back off and watch them unveil carnage.
