Botched start, calling for re start. Akmuq and Joelagged on lap 1 causing a massive accident. We all had similar incidents, but Strawman never made an error and won convincingly. Spurgy was only Alfa finisher after Ellis withdrew after 4 laps (not even that...)
 
Just worked it out, I've 30 points, Furi 18, Dax 16, Matty and Strawman 12.

If I win the next race the championship is mine.

If Furi or Dax win, they both have a chance going into Le Mans no matter where I finish in Toscana.

If Andy wins, I need second place to win it.

If Matty wins, I need 3rd to win it on count-back of wins and podiums.


Basically, I'd be an idiot if I turned up to the next couple of races and somehow lost the championship. 2 podium places will seal it for me.

I made one error - lap 20 something I just missed my braking point due to guys screaming down there headsets and lost 12 seconds. But apart from that yeah pretty simple, except not enough fuel for 1 lap at the end - but had over a minute so could take my time

I got a Ferrari from your 69 ticket Furi! :D.

So I will race this weekend, assuming Im allowed :)
 
Of coures you can Nel. Working on a new venue for Eifel Mountains. Also announcing that this is the final season of WSM in its current guise.
 
Can't make it this week since I'm filling in for James in Nationwide, but I should be free for Sarthe '05 NC.
 
Jaguar ripped all apart last season..

Tonight will be trialling a lower room quality in an open lobby.
 
neljack
I swear we tried that in TOCA and it failed, cant we just keep standard? :nervous:
Click to expand...

Standard yesterday = No lag but black screen nearly with 7 entries...

Thoughts anyone else?
 
Not gonna lie but, is there anyone with an ultra super good connection that can defy GT5 to host? No offence Furi :P

I also remember wasnt there something about changing the damage settings that had an affect? :S

I had damage set to visual = off last night for trucks, and for last weeks laggy WSM race.
 
neljack
Perhaps open the room early and have a 3 lap race with the lower quality setting? 👍

That was part of the plan actually... ;)

Remember track is up for download on my profile on PSN!

That was cause it was Sumo and I running away from all of you.:sly:


Anyway, once again, turn off the mics, impossible to hear, and causes lag, which with heavy damage is worse, I don't know how many times I've to tell you to turn them off, and this isn't even an oval race which you think they're important for. Also, apparently standard race quality and visual damage off is best along with no mics.

Leave Mics on IMO.. Really hard for me to do endurance races anyway, the mic and being able to talk really helps me..

Talk to yourself then? Being able to be near someone and not wreck because of lag really helps me.....

Just get Skype or something....
 
Dont use lower connection lobbys. It doesnt work, it makes it worse. Use an open room with someone who has a very good connection.

Plus I thought you wanted to bin it?
 
If you're using mics, I'm just not going to bother, don't want to wreck everyone's time by complaining.

Agreed - in the Camaro one I was told to be the problem and "dont join again" but it turned out I wasnt the problem - so that leaves all the guys with there mics basically........I think the problem is mics

Why do you need them for focusing during an hour race?

It's not focusing though, all I ever hear on the mics are some murmers then "akmuq", I'm wondering what are they saying about me? I don't see how people would prefer to chat during a race rather then to have a lag-free one, I mean, it's not like they will not talk on GTP anyway...

Thats why I get annoyed when qualifying or racing and they say my name but I dont know what they have said, its too loud so I have to stop (in qualifying) and ask - turns out to be just giving the order of lap times or something :irked: I dont see any reason for mics IN THE RACE - fine for qualifying but why race? Just causing lag and black screens

ALSO: if we have a no mic race can people turn them off not just stop talking? It still shows us if you're using one - pointless as no one in a no mic race will have a mic in theory
