Well we simply cannot have this happen in GT5, can we? :lol:
 
I think Cbastion or I would love to beat immortal in a race. Part of the problem or the main problem is how time gaps open up like crazy in GT5. I notice its very much a phenomenon in "sim racing" that its possible to gain huge chunks of time with technique. Its not just GT5 other games are like this as well. Not to be a complainer, I know what I need to do to improve, that's practice and its not always fun to improve at something.

I'd like to take him on in a race too :D . And that happens to me all the time as well. When you feel that you are better or at least equally as good as the guy in front, somehow the sun, the moon and the stars aligned for the remainder of the race and they pull some extra time out of absolutely nothing 👎 .
 
"....somehow the sun, the moon and the stars aligned for the remainder of the race and they pull some extra time out of absolutely nothing"

That reminds me of something Ayrton Senna said...

'And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high'

Still, the German may win, but Team Artemis (ya kna, us in dem yellow cars) have the best anthem (none of that masked Toulouse maniacs Immortal lol):

Will be fun to see what type of insane times immortal goes out and does at Indy straight away on lap 1 with a full tank. My goal for this race is to have my fastest lap of the week be faster than immortal's first quali lap.

DFGT downshift button on the wheel is skipping gears. I press the button once and sometimes it responds as if I'd pressed it twice. Hoping it can be fixed, any of you guys good with peripherals and know if it can be fixed?

Gian, I haded similar problems upshift button on my dfgt not long ago, & what I did was I stop using the shift buttons for a while, I started using the gear stick afterwards. The problem started for me probably around the first regular season race in the season 4 of the setup F10 WC. Then I found out it started to work again this past weekend. I still don't have problems yet with this issue since was sorta solve this past weekend, & I don't know what's up with this problem, but i'll try to solve soon enough.
 
the g27 has better quality but unfortunately its no longer sold in most stores and Amazon jacked the price back up from the $208 I got mine for.

Looks like Indy will be a bit closer than Cape ring, although I dont think they'll be a blanket over us like in real F1.
 
Yeah ah ha
you know what it is
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Black and yellow, black and yellow

Lucky! I haven't cracked it open yet, I'm still hoping it was just a fluke and it will randomly fix itself like yours did. About to plug and pray here ina second and hopefully it works. Guy named Mr. Basher on here has given me some great advice and offered to fix the switch if needed, problem is he lives on the opposite end of the country... shipping both ways might end up costing more than buying a new wheel.

Hey Joe,

Had the same issue a while back with my DFGT, i opened mine and i didn't void the warranty. Entirely up to you. I like to mess about so i opened mine up and found that it was those lil yellow switches that were gone (see attached pic). U can replace them yourself with a soldering gun or you can try and get a new one from Logitech:

Hope you get it sorted out soon brother. Laters.
 
My G27 pedals squeak from time to time. I'm wondering if they need lube of some sort.

That being said I just watched the NBC interview with Seb Vettel where he compared his cars to his girlfriends, "sometimes you just have to say its not going to work out anymore and you get a new one." :sly: The success seems to have affected him abit!

I probably wouldn't worry about it too much. You can lubricate it if you want but only do this if the pedals are giving you problems.

I see that Vettel has successfully divided his ego by 0 :sly: .
 
mmm Puerto rican coffee yaukono, not bad at all. Immortal, what do you think of your Countryman starting 9th and his teammate DFL? :sly:

I need another practice before the race tomorrow, unfortunately I have to do the Rolex series tonight (always with huge drama.) Hopefully it'll be quick and I can run another 20 laps at Indy to try and break that magic 1:09 on 60/100 fuel.

ooh, unrest in Deutschland over Sebastian! Well it looks like Kimi is the favorite as long as he can stay out of trouble. Or I guess anybody could win, but I saw a picture of Kimi driving a car with Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel in the trunk with ducktape covering their mouths. :sly:
 
First World Championship Race Indy Road 60 Laps
14.04.2013
19:00 UTC - Free Practice (optional)
20:00 UTC - Qualifying (if you miss the end of qualifying you can start from the back)
20:30 UTC - Actual Race
 
Well I'll have to remember to pop more fuel in on non tire shredding tracks like Indy. Anyways gr guys, the timer was giving me funny business the first 10 laps, I'd be 3 seconds behind then 7 then 2 then 9. I dont know if it was periodically giving me the gap to CBastion or what, kinda drove me nuts, then the mistakes. I'll try for a better run next time.
 






Good race guys.
I hope we get next week 3 drivers more.
Where was big and Hugo??
Also very sad with misters wheel problems and S1 have had a problem what was the problem s1 mate?
 
Sorry about not showing immortal, I haded a bit of family issues.
 
These races feel markedly cleaner than the F10 series was. The Cars are faster down straights too yet everybody got through turn 1 good, now we just need 14 cars lined up instead of 10.
