Happy 2018 fellow Geezers,

Guys, I stumbled upon this very interesting and informative film about F1 you may like as much as did I. Unless you're an F1 fan the hour and a half may not be a worthwhile waste of time, but discovering different perspectives of F1 history and present day ambiance I do find a fun way to waste a few hours. This film is one of those I want to share. Next Wednesday or Saturday perhaps we can talk of what you found interesting.

Duce, great find! Even though it’s 15 years old, it is still chock full of great historical info. Was great seeing Juan Pablo Montoya, and hearing the fantastic song of the BMW V10. The parts on the technical innovations, ground effects, active suspension, etc. made me think of the McLaren “fiddle” brake system from 1997-98. Here’s a good article on that>>

Early Bird Wednesday Race. Tomorrow 7:30 PM ET ish. We will use two cars, 1967 Chevy Nova and Group 4 Aston Martin Vantage. RS tires and default setup. Start with the Nova. Lets see how nice it can drift.

Remember this? F1’s greatest opening lap ever? I tend to agree!

Have you seen the movie about him? It's available in youtube.

Yes, saw at a theater as soon as it was released in the U.S. Good movie, hate the ending.

well gents, got to the store and got myself a PX 24 headset by turtlebay. The box says it will work. Guess I'll find out Sat. morning.

Hope you get it figured out bud. I checked your set out on YouTube, looks like a sweet set up for sure. 👍👍 Most of what I saw appears that headset is connected through the controller where as my Turtle Beach Recon 60P set plugs directly intoi the PS console via the second USB port (the G29 wheel is in the other port). Hoping you get the set talking to the console through the PS4 settings then all should be good. See you tomorrow bud - finally

Hi to all.

I would like to join you guys. I like to try to race clean and fairly. I am a DR rating of bottom B top C. I absolutely love online racing but getting fed up with people ramming etc in the daily races. By looking at your race times in US on a Saturday, I think this would be around early afternoon for me which would be cool.

I am 61 in April, my name is Steve and I live in UK. I am SteveBeech12 on PSN.

Hi Steve. I’ve sent you a FR. Today’s races will begin around 9:00 am US eastern time, about 2:00 pm for you. Room should open about 30 minutes earlier. Saturday racing is hosted by Pepper Mallard, psn Pepper_Mallard . You’ll need Pepper on your friends list in order to find the room.

You should also add the head Geezer, psn Geezer1791 . He administers the club on the GTP forum, and hosts a room on Wednesday evenings which may be too late for you. The rest of the Geezers can be added as you meet them in the race rooms.

We use headsets to communicate via PS4 party chat. Only problem with that is the goofy 8 player limit to a party. We usually have more than 8, so need to have two chat parties going. Look forward to meeting you soon.

Eric

 

[SteveBeech12]

Hi Eric. Thanks for the info. I have added you as a friend and will add Pepper and the head Geezer.

Not sure if I will make today as only found your league this morning and the better half has plans! I may get in later to spectate.

I do not have a headset as yet. Can you recommend a decent one?

Looking forward to racing with you guys

 

[nordschleife51]

I use a Turtle Beach PX 22. TB has an adapter available to make it work with a PS4. Further up this page a fellow Geezer says he just got a TB PX 24.

 

[SteveBeech12]

Thanks Eric.

I have been to the lobby to look for the room but cannot see it?

The problem is that Pepper hasn’t yet accepted the FR. I mentioned it this morning, but we thought you couldn’t make it today so Pepper waited until after the races to check for the FR. Sorry about that.

 

[nordschleife51]

I will have a room open tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 8:30 AM U.S. ET for those able to make it. I will also invite the Quick Match Exiles.

Not sure which car yet, but may use the F40 for a couple of races.

[oldphart]

Just was on the way to say the same thing. After watching the past F 1 season, and watching the Spaniard be himself. The radio traffic during some if the races just cracked me up.
