German Superminis @ the Nürburgring Congrats Doodlemonoply & Nicktune!

[watermelon punch]

Looks like I already have the mercedes... I just need the audi.

Okay. Mercedes was a prize car for something. Don't remember what though.

You should be getting a FR from someone who will send you the Audi. 👍

I just wanted to say thanks for those awesome races yesterday. I haven't had so much fun in a race in quite a long time.
I will make the race tomorrow Melon! Be prepared to get doodled guys

Congrats Doodle for a well deserved win!

Cheers. Was fun battling you the whole time.

Defying RGO and physics to win at Nürburgring Nordschleife in both Superminis!

Perhaps a mismatched helmet & car colour is a charm.

Doodlemonoply crosses the finish line in 1st place after an unbelievably close side by side through the last couple of turns with Snowgt

This was my favorite part of the whole day

I cannot wait for the Nicktune vs. Doodlemonoply showdown!

Something tells me I'll be spending another hour or so this weekend lazing about watching replays.

No offense to the other drivers that are signed up, of course.
I expect to have my work cut out for me to have any designs on another #2 finish.

Thanks melon for great pics:tup:
I did really enjoyed the races. 3rd one was fun because i spin off (pic you take) and then started race all over again on the back.

Edit: for the pics i changed my both cars with same colors.
-body: dark blue
-wheel: rose red

Good photos Melon, races were very close.

 

[knukken]

CHECKLIST:

• Be sure to have the FR in for PSN: VCRC
• Remember that it will not be apparent that people are in the VCRC lounge - you have to click on the coffee cup to see who's in there.
  
• You may join the VCRC lounge early for warm-up.
• The first person in the lounge should check the OP, and set the regulations & track settings according to the regs list on the OP.
• When I enter the lounge, the first thing I do is check and correct any settings that are not already set properly.
• Be sure your cars fits in the Tuning Prohibited regulation beforehand, so that you're not rushing between races to find & un-check added parts.
  
• The track will be reset for qualifying around the scheduled arrival time (or within a few minutes from that time).
  
• For qualifying, everyone will enter the track, spread out, and will do 2 timed laps, then park off the track & wait for others to finish & race to start.
  
• I will be the last to enter the track & start qualifying in order to start the race after I've completed 2 timed laps, knowing all who arrived timely have also completed their 2 timed laps.
  
• If you arrive after qualifying has started, enter the track, be careful not to disturb traffic already in their timed laps, and proceed. Depending on how late you are, you may not have the opportunity to complete the 2 timed laps, but may at least get one in.
  
• Race #1 will be started no later than about 15-20 minutes after scheduled start time, in order to stay on schedule. In other words, if you make it into the track you can race, you just have to start without qualifying, at the back of the grid.
  
• If someone is unavoidably detained and misses Race #1, and arrives in time to proceed with Race #2, I reserve the right to assign the car they will be driving either to even out the amount of each car on track, or assign according to what division I think they belong in.

Note: We're usually finishing up dinner here on Friday evening around 8pm, so don't fret if you don't see me posting here or signed onto PSN before 8pm. I plan to be in the lounge about quarter past the hour.

Append:

ALSO NOTE THAT GTPLANET FORUM WILL BE DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE DURING AND FOR A COUPLE HOURS AFTER OUR SCHEDULED RACE THIS EVENING.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=275507

The schedule says this forum will be inaccessible:
From 9pm to Midnight US EST - Friday evening
(From 02:00am to 05:00am GMT - Saturday morning)

For this reason, results will definitely not be posted before Saturday afternoon US time.

The Swede will also be joining us tonight.

Still room for more!

I don't think my GTP_ acc has VCRC added.

Send a FR, I'll be signing onto the VCRC before the race.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Just sent one .

 

[GranTurismo916]

Let's hope there's no connection problems this time.

 

[watermelon punch]

Yes there better not be. !!
Clear your cache & reboot your PS3 before the race. 👍

Will do that. 👍👍

Edit: I might be eating dinner when it's 8:30. But I'll see.

 

[watermelon punch]

I'll be on in a few minutes. Right now my spouse is using the PS3 to watch Futurama on Netflix. I think the episode is almost over.

 

[Doodle]

I'm in the lobby now. I changed my suit and helmet this time so they match

 

[paulmac2k9]

Tell Miata to get off lol.. The woman is allways in charge right ?

 

[Doodle]

Paul, hurry or you're gonna miss qualifying!

 

[paulmac2k9]

I can't see VCRC on FL in GT5 had to quit out and go back on..

 

[watermelon punch]

I accepted the FR

 

[paulmac2k9]

Yeah I was allready in game which meant it didn't update.

Be there in two ticks no sweat.

 

[jkt008]

Had heaps of fun this morning! Lots of competitive racing. Got held up in the first 2 races, but other than that it was awesome.
Thanks for holding this watermelon, looking forward to future events. 👍

 

[Phouchg]

Fantastic fun as always Melon, thank you! And thanks to doodle and nic for letting me win that last race.

 

[ryzno]

Great pics WM. Sorry I missed the race last nite. I had something to do

Epic picture. I cant even keep an FF in the right direction
Some how I was able to get it planted in the apex so everyone got by

All in all good racing. Something different from the shuffles:tup:

 

[jammy21]

A lot of fun. Good races. There was couple of incident that i didn't like (Melon's race rules & OLR's rules & clean racing). All in all i enjoyed races. Thx Melon for great show again 👍

 

[watermelon punch]

Thanks guys great races!!!

Just an FYI. I'm holding the results pending the review of 3 race incidents in Race #2 (1st race at nord)... one of which I may have been both victim and guilty party (the unpleasantness at the Aremberg sand LOL), so I'm waiting on Phouchg to give me his verdict on that - since I was involved, and also 2 other incidents which I expect Phouchg to also add opinion on.
@ Jammy - you were involved in 2 out of 3 of these incidents, FYI. So I'm on it. 👍

I'd also like to apologize again about my dipsh....t move on Turn 1 of Race #1 at GP/D.
I was totally mesmerized by Paulmac's car doing this weird lag sort of thing... And I wound up heading into the turn, on the inside, not at all looking ahead of me.

Sorry about that. Just very bad example. Shameful & humiliating.

Which one doesn't belong? (Hints: pink & pointed the wrong way! )
A very good example what NOT to do on Turn 1. 👎
Note to self: Don't be watchin' what's going on with other cars off the start - look where you're going!

Race #2 @ Nürburgring Nordschleife

Nervous making RGO lead position.

Quite a bit of drama at Aremberg...

Aceboy127 decides to take me forcibly on a beach holiday in the sand at Aremberg. Silly me, I forgot to bring my metal detector.

Then HusamOne & Aceboy127 collide.

Then just as I think I'm avoiding more trouble, I collide with Jammy.

which sends me on another off-road excursioin

Doodlemonoply apparently sees a lot happening....

and decides he likes the idea of a beach holiday at Aremberg as well.

Lots of wheels in the grass

Hey guys... make room for Doodle!

Work brakes work!

Aremberg sand - very popular. They should have a concession stand there.

tongo's unplanned parking on the sidewalk at Breidscheid bridge

paulmac2k9 crosses the finish line in 1st place, in a slightly lonely lead

Oh no! Melon has left behind the Swede!

Boop Boop!

Yeah, I kinda had a major brain fart in the beginning of that race.
