Should this get fixed before the last slot worldwide (which I doubt) anyone who has a Western account is welcome to come race with us. GT1, GT2, GT529834670218347626 come on over. Last slot is in seven hours and 51 mins from now.

Yes, I am speaking for the whole hemisphere.
Appreciate the invitation bro! I'm about to pour myself a glass of merlot to take the edge off todays disappointment. I don't usually drink and drive (IRL or online) But I won't be doing much driving today. So....

Couldn’t resist. I love this movie
 
I've been able to log into the console as of 10 mins ago, and am seeing more players appearing on my friends list, but it won't connect to PDs servers currently still.
 
Looking at the rankings for Asia/Oceania (where Round 2 has long since finished) it seems a lot of people managed to complete their races and get points. A lot of people are also at 0 (me included). I don't think PD are going to end up invalidating this round. Maybe they can change the number of valid races from 3 to 2.
 
I did get in GT, it was telling me maintenance but I clicked onto world and bingo, in. I got a race in, myNSX is pretty underpowered for the race, knowing I had no chance, didn’t Quali and was P13 of 13, punted as usual and finished P10. I’ll try for the next lot and see if I get lucky! Hoping y’all can get in and grab a slot today, GL all
 
I just checked the results for GT1 league in EMEA and out of the 1400 drivers registered this season, only 27 have actually registered a score for round 2! I went from 134th to 151st EMEA. Which obviously means that out of those 27 drivers who were lucky enough to race today. 17 of them have bettered my score of 254 points, with their combined scores of rounds 1 and 2. Great for those guys but not for anyone else who were prevented from participating today, through no fault of their own. I'm interested to see how PD will address this moving forward. Round 3 at Spa is confirmed as a rain race, with the track at an Intermediate level of dampness, at the start!

Hey, I got into the 5PM EST slot! My qualifying was a good frist lap followed by me smacking the pit wall in turn 1 on my second flying lap which was still good for P4.

On the opening lap, I get into the back of another driver in the bus stop. Fortunately we both make it out fine, but I get an off track. No biggie as I tuck in behind an NSX and follow them for a few laps. I realized I was losing time and tried to pass them, but I could not get it done. At one point, they are hard on the brakes or some major lag/Netcode happened in the 2nd hairpin and I send them into Barry R. I try to wait up, but I got a 3 second penalty so I just went to go serve it. I take that opportunity to duck into the pits for a splash and go with no tire change. Not sure if that was the correct call or not as my lap times were consistent. I'm in P6 at this point, and I manage to catch P4 and P5. But the worn tires prevent me from keeping up and I collect 68 points for my effort with P1 getting 85.

I'm satisfied with my result and I just wish I didn't hit those other drivers. I did a blanket apology post race, but I would probably finished P6 anyway. Now on to survive the Spa round and hope for the best.
