Fuji 650pp :10 & :40. GTP Event 2 Practice Race.

Sorry guys that I moved to spectator. I had terrible lagging since start, and it was impossible to drive middle of you.

I hope next one will be better...
 
Joining 35 or 05 👍

edit,

MAY, you want to take that race, with 30sec wait and all?? :) (as soon as we get to the same race)
 
Very nice race Oldnail... very nice!

You are using R2's or R1's are you?


Edit: was there lag or bad luck... so many people just standing. :confused:

Yes it was a great race! I was actually trying R3's for the first time but no matter what I choose my times never seem to change! You were definitely a bit quicker than me though. I seem to lose out on the last corner before the main straight on every lap and it is obviously very important to a good lap time because of the long straight that follows it!

You had no lag in that one, the others may have stopped because of punters I think?
 
you too :gtpflag:

thanks to sauber for an easy pass too... ;)

and Aki for being the fastest guy incar-view i know :crazy:

change to bumper cam CHANGE! CHANGE! CHANGE!:banghead:


Thx MAY... but I wont. Now when I'm used to it, I cant even think about that. It gives sooo much more feeling, and patience to racing. 👍

+1...i had to change back to bumpercam a few weeks ago for the IFTC-suzuka GT-R concept race,because this car doesn't have onboard cam....I whas all over the place man!!.....lol.

i also can't even think going back...the onboard view is one of the best new things in gt5prologue...!!:)👍:)👍



spyrrari.

In the one race I finished yesterday it was obvious that that is where I am loosing most of the time compared to the quick guys as well. I am slower on all parts of the track but it was painful when I couldn't even keep the slipstream coming out on the straight.

I try taking a wide line into that corner, break early, get the car settled, then you can get on the gas well before the apex, and get a very fast exit.

good advice matt, also make sure that you use up every inch of the track for turn set-up and finish... but be very careful of the grass :)
 
don't know who I bumped, but sorry.
the cable fell out of my tv so couldn't see or hear what happened, but the wheel was pretty lively.

Did you get the insane lag on the first 2 laps? never seen it like that before.
 
Anyone racing this now or within the hour? Day off work here and looking for some good races :)
 
Well that was a good start :( first race and me and Sphinx get stuffed at the back of the pack with a gauntlet full of silly drivers in front of us, the race was over for us on lap 1 ... doh!

Haha, did you see me overshoot turn one on lap 6 I think it was and get away with it? Took major action and managed to avoid both of you. :nervous:
 
Tried to connect for the :35 and my PS3 said I needed to be signed in ... obviously I missed the 35 and ended up in a race with GTRP_Hyper and some other guys unknown to me .. met the tool of the day in that race though!
Topgear Test Driver [GB] side swiping the rear of your car on the start straight as soon as you pass him and generally blocking and punting the rest of the course ... just what I expect to see from a test driver yep :P


Yep saw you overcook it on lap 6 Sphinx ;) but it's so damn easy to miss time the brakes when you have drag from 2 cars approaching turn 1 :lol: I reckon everyone will have fell foul of that by now :lol:
 
I was in the :05 race last night in my Opera 350Z at 9:00pm MST and had a good race with a few GTP members in their M3's. Ended up finishing 3rd. Would have finished 4th, but the white M3 in front of me pulled over at the line and let me by. Not sure why, but I'll take it. :D There were 12 cars drivers total at the end.

Had a hairy moment coming out of the last corner when a red M3 spun in front of me and I had to dive left to avoid him. Would also like to put an apology out there for a couple of the drivers.

1) Going into the hard braking zone on the back side of the track for the hard right hander, my left rear tire nicked the grass and it almost spun me out. I hit the back of a black M3 which saved me from spinning, but just want to let him know it was an accident.

2) After the long right-hander (turn 5) I hit the brakes too early and someone slammed the back of me on accident. Sorry for the brake check. :)

Red M3 was GTP_L_Hamilton.

White M3 that pulled over was GTP_Sphinx.

Black M3 in points 1 and 2 was me. In point 1, I think I had just overtaken, it was tight in there, and I still managed to make the turn, so no harm done. And in point 2 you did brake early, but if I hit the back of you, it's still on me. Just glad I did not launch you off track.
 
Hi guys, :cheers:

i'm new here, and first i have to say, you have a nice forum and all GTP drivers I have raced were very fair and fast drivers!

@Mr P: Yes, i saw how this stupid guy pulled you out and then i became his target! :ill: The rest of the race i think he had no fun with me :)

Sorry for the bump in the first corner!
