That's fine. In fact we have a spare spot in race 1 if you want it. Shall I put you on that list?

Sorry for the late notice, Holden, but I cant make the first race anymore, my brother (who owns the PS3) has suddenly decided to take it with him while he stays at his Grans, he even helpfully turned off the PS3 before I had a chance to save my latest changes to the tunings
Little brothers...

Anyway, I will be around for the second race for certain, because I know nothing is going to stop me making it for the GTP/GTRP/GT5net/GTNDC races.

Ack I know! I was really pissed when my brother did this, ive been practicing all week for it! At least there is a second race, just need more people to join it.

We all know the TLD tune is best already anyway

Brothers can be a pain. I'll put you in race 2 then.

Edit: Oh dear, TLD is now outnumbered 3 to 7. But I haven't heard from any 888 drivers yet, they better show up. Perhaps 888 Tuning should go and chase down his drivers.

setting my alarm to wake me up in 6 hrs

for sure....... see you there at 8pm our time tonight yes???

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

for sure....... see you there at 8pm our time tonight yes???

Correct. You're on the list!

Edit: The official count for race 1 puts TLD at 3 drivers, and 888 at 8 drivers. But I don't know how many of 888's drivers are going to show up, as I haven't seen may of them post in this thread even once.

Edit 2: Guys, there is a storm bearing down on my house right now, so if I don't show up tonight it's because I lost power and you should race without me. Hopefully that won't happen, but judging by the thunder it sounds pretty ferocious.

[uk86ze]

Ime up. Have we got 45 minutes left from this post or is it 1:45
yawn.

 

[GTP_JASE72]

:45 minutes where I am 👍

 

[uk86ze]

:45 minutes where I am 👍

yah thats confusing me now. Judging by holdens post its for 1100 but should be 1000:
if at his time of posting which was 8:45 and he says 2:15 from his post it makes it 1100.

I thought the first race was at 10:00 GMT ??

It's now 9:27 as I type

Everyone has their own time zones on the post times. They wont see it as 8:45 on their post, only we do beacuse its in english time on the board.
Quit confusing yourselves!
Race start time (UK): 11.00
Race start time (Most of western Europe): 12.00
Race start time (Australia): 20.00
Race start time (New Zealand): 22.00

 

[uk86ze]

Yes, 3hrs from your post, 2hrs 15mins from my post.

Please confirm mate

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

It is 1hr 25mins from the post I'm posting now. I asked if daylight savings was a problem and no one said so but it is 1hr 25mins from this post.

 

[GTP_JASE72]

So that's 11am here in Blighty then

I could have stayed in bed longer

Daylight savings is automatically taken care of by most computers if they are connected to the internet.
I think we need to stop saying "xx.xx GMT" and say "xx.xx English/whoever time". People seem to get really consfused with the whole GMT+1 thing.

Ill edit my other post.

Sorry, I am in GMT +10 so I assumed that wouldn't be a problem thinking there was no daylight savings.

No problems 👍

Just means I get more coffee before the race
