Everyone in this league is stepping up big time when I started a year ago @Neutty was really the guy who took me under his wing and taught me so much about sim racing and how to be competitive. @Herimopp89 and I met a few months ago and at first I thought he named himself mopp because he was always wiping someone or himself out but holy cow the dude has gotten fast but don't worry @PApunk924 the only thing swelling is his forehead. @Nick Cannella when I met him back in snail endurance the guy spent more time in the sand than David hasellhoff. @TexasJDC was so timid he wouldn't even race his own Shadow and now look at both of them. I guess what I'm saying is every driver in this series just proves if u put in the time and with a brotherhood (with an evil step sister) sorry Mrs neutty :) everyone will continue to grow as drivers and make this league even better

Haha, @Mrs Neutty now you can tag her @Jw_wk1010
 
Just to kinda piggy back off of what @Jw_wk1010 and @Neutty have said. jw is absolutely right season 1 & 2 i think my shadow out ran me hahaha but racing with everyone has been extremely helpful and i have the most fun on saturday nights racing with everyone and watching them grow as drivers. life happens man dont sweat it ARL isnt going anywere if you need to take a few weeks off every now and then, and if you ever need anything man holler at me ill do anything i can to help out any of you guys. one thing that has really impressed me more than the driving is how tight of a community we have here and everyone willingness to help its truly unbelievable. When GT Sport starts getting to me, i have to do some dirty racing or have a screw around night to remind myself "hey your not getting paid for this dont take it so serious" (cheap ARL Mayhem plug sorry). we enjoy racing with everyone and we want you guys to have the most fun while still being challenged at the same time and with the drivers we have racing every week there seems to be a challenge/rival for everyone even @Neutty and he cheats! so man all in all just keep your head up and keep pushing to be better, you'll get there hell you are faster than me and i practice all the damn time wtf! lol but you cant let it get ya down man just keep pushing yourself and you will get there especially racing with this group of guys.
 
Actually when jw and me first raced he beat my butt...then we had some great races in another series where it was just great to bang door to door for 10 laps and still pull away from him...Jack and nick I remember first talking to them in a private lobby with, well we wont say who it was with but I enjoyed there company I wouldve never thought any of this was going to happen and @7ylerallen trust me I get burnt out over this game after a while and I end up taking some time off...but you do miss running with your community

Now that I've finally cooled off after a dismal couple weeks, I want to apologize to anyone whose race I may have ruined in the early going this past weekend. We were quickly approaching the dockyard and everyone was bunched up pretty tight heading into the first turn of that section. I got a poor start off the line and hoped I could salvage some places with a late brake move into turn 2....definitely wasn't the smartest move since I completely missed my brake point running so close to the inside of the turn. Long story short, I yeeted the car in hoping it would stick but it didn't. I wanted to park it right then and there but I wanted to conquer my frustration....I eventually parked anyway after ruining my motor battling @jfalcon heading towards the pit area. I just couldn't take it anymore at that point. I knew the track decently well, but just not enough to keep my pace up and myself from ping-ponging everywhere.

I've hit another low with GT Sport (probably my lowest low to date) and I've been foolishly letting it get the best of me. I haven't been able to put as much time into GT as I'd like and it shows. Matter of fact, I really respect what @BGCaligula and @Herimopp89 stated earlier because the guys that they've mentioned have raised the bar to such a high level, every race with them is the hardest racing I do. I would like to believe I've just burned myself out (which is more than likely the case lol) trying to perform at a level I'm just not quite ready for, but I refuse to let that be the case. Seeing everyone progress is only inspiring me to work on my craft even more, so I just need to get myself ready.

Hopefully my jobs will slow down some to where I can log on more, but at any rate I look forward to the next race day!

:cheers:

Man reading all this reminds me of why I love this league no one thinks their better than the next person and we all can talk with out fighting each other and help when we’re down it’s the best league I’ve joined and it’s why I make this league priority when planning my weekend

I have been wanting to host a “class” for the upcoming Saturday night each week but I just don’t have the time.

If I could fit it in my schedule I would try to attend because I want to go faster so much like tonight I was 3 secs off of your pace

We will work on making sure everyone is aware of which lobby they are assigned. Sorry you were confused.

No worries about that. Guess everyone's thoughts were high during the race weekend hence it's a good cooldown before another conversation comes along. However, I do not blame anyone for this miscommunication because not everyone is 'live' in the forums and on the game at the same time.
Understandably on my end, it was my fault too for not confirming my commitment either, because I indicated 'tentative' earlier but did not convert to 'confirmed' in time due to time zone differences.

Ultimately I'll still keep up to that challenge and have more focus and commitment as the weekend comes by.

if needed hop in a lobby it dont matter whose lobby and we can tell you. I know not everyone checks GTP every minute of the day, we will not punish you if you get in the wrong lobby.

As for anyone who had connection issues like last week if at all possible before jumping into the assigned lobby try to reset everything on your side of the connection. We tried everything that we could this past saturday even by moving people around and what. I really hate to see someone try to race and not be able to race at all. Also communication is another big part if you are having issues please listen to the lobby host as we are usually in a party together and talking back and forth trying to figure the problem out. I know most people are trying to help out. but it can cause some confusion more than fix the problem.

No problem about it, I perfectly understand the logistical challenges and arrangements for such a complex system and organization. I was initially concerned about crashing into the wrong lobby, and denying an assigned player of his/her slot, that's why I chose to sit out for the weekend to further prevent any disputed matter.

I've also noticed in a few live streams that party voice chat is employed for faster communication in-game. This might be an extremely useful tool and it could have well helped a significant lot in terms of restarting races or last minute change of plans.

P.S. I might have a transition to wheel-based racing in the coming weekends. Depending if I'm comfortable with my new wheel, and when I'm ready to say goodbye to my controller days.

Tentative means you are trying to race but life is happening and I’m unsure if I’ll make it. Your tentative is reserving you a “slot” so don’t feel as if you are taking someone else’s when that “slot” is rightfully yours.

Lol no worries man. I didn’t quite have the right line going in to keep that corner easy flat like it is. It’s a very thin line and if you’re not on it, the bump right in the turn will throw you into the wall. Given how things were going between us, we would’ve had some good hard racing no doubt. :cheers:

Thanks for the support fellas! Despite the heartbreaks, I know I’m really only getting better racing you all. Y’all and @SAMHAIN85 are literally on a level I aspire to be with this game.
