Well, after my first races with you Geezers and after watching the replays, I reckon I should let you know my thoughts on this experience. I have not raced since the old GTR2 NoGrip days, apart from the Daily Races (daily idiot races) on GTS.

Yamagiwa 11 was going well until I noticed cars pitting. Bloody hell I had not even thought of that, looked at my fuel gauge and saw that I needed to pit. Where was the pit lane? Anyway found it but had slowed down too much and was slow in the pit so came out just behind the first 5 or 6 cars. Lesson learnt J

Nurburgring, first of all apologies to Geezer1791 on first corner of 5th lap. I braked a tad late. Not sure what you guys do in these situations but I waited till he was going again. (I was shunted off track a few races later but the other driver carried on. No problem with that, and to be fair I had to slow because of a car in front of me, but what is the way you guys do it in these situations?) Anyway, back to the race. This time I knew I had to pit. Spotted the pit lane a few laps before I needed it, all going well. Chose my lap to come in, did not take any rubber, and then (another lesson learnt), did not take any bloody fuel! Hit the no fuel button. Came out of the pits with .3 of a lap in the tank. Decided to park up and watch you guys race by. Once you all had passed I decided to try and limp round to the pits. Just made it and carried on, albeit a lap down.

So the next race, Mount Panorama. How the hell did I end up on pole? I have not been around that circuit since GTR2. Oh dear, this might be a problem. I had intended to sit at the back and follow you all round while trying to learn the track. Instead I was a mobile chicane, and to anyone I may have pissed off, sorry about that! (I do not race a lot of circuits and only in daily races so it might take me a while to get up to speed with you Geezers) And the biggest apology for the last corner on lap last lap, where I was dumping a time penalty. Thought I had the time to do it, wrong. I screwed Geezer up L Note to self; choose a better time and place.

Maggiore 11 was another track I have not spent time on so please excuse any slowness in the wrong places

Miyabi. I felt like the ball in a pinball table hahaha on lap 2. And the replay confirmed it J Worth a look to be fair. It seemed the more the races went on the more ‘competitive’ it became.

As for the last race Blue Moon. And yet another lesson learnt! And that is to remember to hit the enter button before I go for a smoke. As I sat back down the race was started, I am desperately trying to hit the enter button, but to no avail. L Sat and spectated though. What a race, great stuff J

Overall. ABSOLUTELY MOST DEFINATELY ENJOYED ALL OF IT! What a real blast and cannot wait to race with you guys again.
It was fun to have you with us. I my self, hit you a couple of times and got a good hit in brands this morning. But at the end the fun is to be among very good fellows that i never met but i already care about. Welcome. Lets have fun.

Was fun for me too :gtpflag:Are you Acerbrone? Yeah had some good close racing, bumping and knocking is bound to happen but that's all part of the fun. I have been pussy footing about in the daily races trying not to knock door handles or get shafted by some donut etc to protect my SR rating, But being able to race close like that was terrific and what racing is all about. :cheers:
 
@SteveBeech12 enjoyed having you join us. Sorry for springing the surprise pit stops on you. :lol:

Situations like that are why headsets are helpful, especially for those new to our racing. Being able to chat helps get people familiar with the pit stops and other nuances. :cheers: :cheers:


Will soon get used to the pitting and the ages, it seems, waiting for the pit crew to get off there arses and do something to my car :banghead:

Can anyone suggest a headset I can buy in the UK. It needs to be able to be adjustable to mix the game sound and chat sound. Do I plug it into the playstation?

I use a headset that I plug into the controller, DS4 (it's a P2 connector). In the moment you connect the P2 into the controller it automatically redirects all the sound to the headset and start the microphone. In the "party" menu you can adjust the preference, chat priority or game priority or have only the chat in the headset and the rest of the sound on the TV. If that adjustment is not enough, you can go to the game menu and chose which sound you want to hear better. You can turn off the music and lower the engine sound. People also use a USB headset that you can plug direct into de USB port of the PS4. That will depend on how many USB ports you have and how many you need. And yes I am the crazy Brazilian @acenbrone

Hi Steve, I use a Turtle Beach Stealth (I think it's a 600). It's wireless and the transmitter plugs into the USB and optical outlets in the rear of my PS4 pro. I used to have problems with it in the PS3 but that has all resolved with the PS4. It has separate volume controls for voice and game sound. I'm very pleased with it. The only thing that happens to me is when the PS4 goes to sleep, when it wakes up I have to unplug and reinsert the transmitter to reestablish sound to the headset..

Thanks to all the replies on headset chaps. This wireless one seems to be the way to go for me :cheers:

Interlagos, first S after the pits. Car, Chevy Opel mid 1970's straight six, about 400 hp, tires Sport Soft. Dec 2016. What would you do?

After yelling fargin icehole, I’d clamp my vise grips on that sucker and go racing. Or do what that dude did, and jam the fargin steering wheel back on! It’s almost exactly the same deal as when the DS4 comes unplugged mid-corner. :lol:
 
Just something to put a smile on your faces.

An 85-year-old man had to do a sperm count for his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take this home and bring back a sample tomorrow.”

The next day, the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

The doctor asked what happened, and the man explained …
“Well, doc, it’s like this — first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help.
“She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door, and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin’ it between her knees, but still nothing.”

The doctor was shocked. “You asked your neighbor? Good heavens!”

The old man replied, “Yep, none of us could get the jar open.”
