Yup, mine were Free Run also, I was testing the car when i got that time.

If the second race is about to happen and is lacking participants, I´m in for the second race as well. But people left out of the first one should be picked before me..

OK. You realise the time and date though yes? On the same team for race 2?

Oops, I somehow just skipped that point. Thanks for reminding. That time might be possible, but not for sure, so maybe it`s better if you take me out. Sorry for the trouble. I`ll let you know on this thread closer (like 1/2h before) to the 2nd race if I´m home and free to race. (if the grid is still missing racers)

I've just tried TLD's setup and I won! But the only other car was a Lancia Delta. Still seems like a good setup. Took a while getting use to the brakes, I flew off in the second corner, maybe it wasnt just the brakes!
Is the next race 11 o clock Saturday night?

Correct, that is when "Race 2" starts, and its 4 corresponding races. I know you can't race in "Race 1", so shall I put you in "Race 2"?

Yeah please I should almost certaintly be there.

Done and done. See you in race 2. 23:00 GMT Saturday 17th.

 

[Ardius]

Ill be around for race 2 as well, if drivers are needed.

Done.


Also, we currently have one available position in race 1 due to GT4 genius needing togo into race 2. A TLD driver would be nice if anyone's interested, as TLD is outnumbered 4-7 at the moment in race 1.

From what I see it appears NTSC gets just 1 race.

To me anything can happen in 3 laps, someone outside of GTP could ruin it for one of the drivers. Maybe we can have 2 or 3 races in a row like PAL?

Good thing I read the 1st post again as I was going to be racing in a white car

I think we should do the same 4 race series; each race starts 15 minutes apart, so we can easily sync up if someone misses a race for some reason.

I'm not sure when we are doing the NTSC races but I'll be out of town from Friday til Monday so if we could figure something out for Tuesday (maybe) I'll be able to run otherwise I won't.

Just a small question, how is the next car going to be chosen?

By a poll or just a random choice?

Seeing as TLD chose this car I was going to suggest next choice and something a little more in line with my preference (Italian maybe..)
However, as it is you the driver who is the ones having to smash out the lap times I would be happy with a poll.

Whilst a poll of 70 different cars would be pointless maybe have a submission of 3 cars from each tuning house and the poll is made on those 6 cars ??

What does everyone think about this ?

Sounds reasonable to me. Personally, I might still be interested for 500pp races, but faster stuff works fine as well.

In 500 you might get tighter races and less errors, so the tuning itself maybe plays a bigger part of the outcome.

Problem with this is that one of the 2 garages has the most drivers, it's always their car that is picked. Maybe 888Tuning and The Lion's Den Tuners could decide which 3 cars to put up for the poll and let de drivers decide which car is in favor.

This way the Tuners can pick 3 cars, the drivers decide which car to tune. Gives you guys a challenge also

It´s not like that in my mind. Even though I might drive for 888 in the first race.. that wouldn´t mean anything picking up the next car... If Holden has on his list a car I want to race in, why wouldn´t I vote for that?
I just might swap for the LTD for next race... ..altough I`m quite happy to drive 888 in the Swift challenge (faster in my hands - ok, now I said it ).

Thats what I was saying.. lol

The point being TLD and 888 agree via PM on a list of cars, then this is put in a Poll so that you guys dont know whos car is whos... : )

I haven't put in a 4 race time yet because I thought NTSC had to be re-scheduled to fit in with the drivers. Please let me know what I should do.

Just a small question, how is the next car going to be chosen?

If we make a poll for next time, can it be deleted for a new poll the time after that? Otherwise I was just going to let 888 decide on what car next time.

Disppointed to hear that, I'll delete you from the list.

thanks mate....... this weekend has turned out to be a nightmare for everyone needing me at once, and racing on top of that.....

I'm clearing the diary for the next showdown nd4spd, you can count on that!

I have a Holden calendar

Just a reminder folks, 24hrs from now and we will be racing. But I think the "boards vs boards" has used our time slot.

Edit: No, my mistake, the events are 12hrs apart. Everything is good.

Yeah, busy racing weekend. Today Im doing some typical F1-style Friday practice with the TLD Swift and TLD XK in preperation for tomorrow, its odd driving a red XK, lol. I'm also testing a couple of other cars like the M3 and NSX to see if I can get better lap times and feel for racing, but so far Im more at home in the XK. Will see what happens tomorrow, Im sort of drawn to using the Jag because I know no-one else is going to use it and I know I have little chance of podiums, so may as well go for the steady-mid pack racer and gain positions from others mistakes.

Might see if a de-tuned DB9 is any good in PP600, doubt it, but worth a try.

That's V8 Supercar-typical practice Good luck in the XK, I hope to hear how everyone using my tunes in those "forum v forum" races goes. My focus is all on the Garage Showdown though. So tomorrow before race time I might do my practice then, really get in the groove.
