Am I the only one who doesn't really like Northern Isle Speedway that much? Maybe if it was longer I'd be more interested in it.
Considering I was #1 on the leaderboard last time, and have yet to crack at it this time, I really like the track. And it really raises SR if you can stay out of the wall.

In the back of my mind, I've always wanted a short oval in GT. I hope I'm not let down. I've never tried one out so this might be a hit or miss type deal for me based on whether it meets my expectations or not. Do you think it's a layout made for racing or is it a bit more flexible than that?

It's basically Bristol. I think in the Gr.3 cars with a lot of downforce and without tuning flexibility (they lock the tunes and BoP in there) it's difficult to have close racing.

But I like it, personally. It reminds me a little bit of the old Motegi oval that we had on GT4, but the differences on each end of the track are less extreme.
 
I can't access the forum and the bug report too. Forum doesn't even load, while bug tracker, when load, appears empty with no workable button to create any report.
In the bug tracker, try clicking "My Projects" and then GT Sport should pop up. Click that and then the list should populate.
 
There was discussion about it last night, but there IS still ghosting in DR rooms B&C, it just happened twice at Tokyo just now. It just seems to be less frequent than in D&E lobbies.

EDIT: Kust realized there are a few D rated drivers in here, could have been some of them.

So the US beta sign up occured on march 10 then it went live 17th march (one week) the EU sign up announcement was released apr 5 is it fair to assume the EU beta (ph.2) will go live tomorrow?
 
So I'vd been using Northern Isle to complete my driving workouts, and my quickest Gr.3 was the Ferrari 458 which I struggled to get anything quicker than a 14.35 second lap in. Today I ended up getting the VW GTI VGT Gr.3 and even though it looks like an ugly duckling to me, I tried it out and after roughly ten laps, ran a 14.263! Even more impressive, I took almost .030 off of @Doodle's time, which I was nowhere even close to earlier.

You can call me european - but i find it a bit amusing people competing on a tiny 14 sec oval timetrial.. :D

Dont get me wrong - I think Nascar is great on ovals, but mostly because of the interaction between the drivers and between the cars. Its a tactical game. 👍
 
Bring on phase two of the Beta. I can't wait any longer - hopefully we'll drive on the new tracks shown in the latest advertisements. PD have to let us now...

It's killing me! I think it will come Friday for eu or Saturday morning for us. I'm positive Australia will get it I bet very few people will sign up so hopefully we'll get a gig
 
Question: How is the Corvette Gr 3 car? I just got it earlier today, but haven't gotten an opportunity to test it on the ring.
