Hey GT5, what's your PSN name? I can't find your match on the drivers list.

golfer199. Im not on the first page driver list. I'm on the page 13 diver lsit towards the bottom as a reserve driver. I'm hoping I can get position 16 on the full lsit as I can race at every race and I am learning how best to race online. I think that the race at Nurburging was good considering it was only 3 factors that put me where I finished. 1. dreadfull quali, 2. hit Eric after late break maneovour and major spin, 3. Driver over aggresive to regain position.

Give me your vote please to get me the final postion permantantly
 
Ok I started to realize how much of a problem I was to people trying to lap me. So don't get on about me being a terrible driver. I was completely unaware we were doing GP/F, I didn't practice enough.

Jav
ROOKIES this is for you!!! DO NOT RACE THE LEADERS WHEN YOU ARE BEING PASSED!!!!

I'm assuming your also targeting me. I'm not a rookie. To this series yes. Plus refer to post 263 if your going to argue.

allIn your teammate did not show up? do you still want the name smoking ones?
 
Bermuda, something pressing may have happened to SmokingCones as I have not heard from him. I am sure he will race next Saturday. I may not make next race, it is my child's birthday. If I do not race Brettcee will fill in for me in the same car to keep things right for our racing group. I guess I'll keep the team name for now since I have a fill in if I can't make it and SmokingCones may show up.

People are having a go at me too. Especially Jav because someone overeacted when i touched someones car car and the guy screwed at me saying i was over eager in the start of a 4 hour race. Tiny mistake but he screwed. I am a rookie to online racing on GTP so go easy on me. So far i will admit i messed up by blocking Jav (i need to get me an R8) and some else overeacted to wreck my record from the start.
 
would it be alright if my team name was Team Playstation as there is a Playstatino logo on the car quite abit? I dunno any other suggestions? Maybe something French and cool due to the car being French


Ditch all of that. I think "Thunder Sport" sounds good. Sadly like thunder i will go down (the in-race rankings) at the same speed as thunder i.e. speed of sound. But yeah "Thunder Sport"
 
Ok, everyone is getting heated over incidents that are happening in the race.

ill will watch the replay to see what happened ( i really dont want to watch a 55 min long replay ) and judge what should happen based on the incident.

1st off though, You will not race with drivers that are lapping you. If they catch you, you will let them by at the first possible chance to do so. ( On a straight or if they beat you to the entry of the turn you stay wide )

If you are lapping someone that doesn't give you the right to push them off the track either because you are ahead of them.

Now if your down a lap and catch a driver you can unlap yourself if you are at a faster pace and you can make the pass without contact.

Other than that everyone else drop it. There is no reason to fight here on the forums.

Stuff does happen in races, i've never seen any race where someone didn't make a mistake. Everyone needs to be a little more cautious, these LMP's are difficult to drive and to overtake in.

The thing is, on GP/F I can't move out of the way with the C9. To narrow of a course and if I did I would spin, which did happen once or twice. But it's over and we're moving on. I can't wait for Monza. :)
 
thanks for the clarification. i'll do my best at monza. The 908 should be good there as thats where Peugeot test for high speed. Oh and thanks for the name change
 
Bermuda's right. Everybody calm down. Racing is a contact sport. **** will happen but some kind of penalty system would be good. Full damage would sort the problem.

No it wouldn't :)

So, next race is Monza - here it is easy to give room to leaders: go outside of the track (slowing down of course).

I definately need to work with my gears for this track.
 
i wouldn't mind full damage. it would make people think twice about risky moves. it could also act as a penalty system and it would be more realistic.

By no means I was targeting you, you did an exelent job, you were aware all the time and I expect your pace to quicken as the season progresses. This cars are not something you master on your first outing.
And about the issue, I am over it. What I felt I needed to say at the moment was said and though it wasn't nessesary I do not regret saying it.
Let's all have a good race on Saturday, hope to see you all on track for a great race!
 
I am going to implement some sort of penalty system which will take effect immediately.

but Full damage is difficult , i would want a pace car also. Also full damage punishes the victim as well. (which is true in real life ).

If i had a crash and damaged the **** out of my car, i cant see myself limping around @ 50 mph to pit & repair just to finish in last place. I would most likely say "f this" and quit . Therefore i wouldn't expect others to do the same especially if the accident was not their fault because someone hit them.


I still want this to be fun & all the Drivers to finish the race. ( Very happy about Saturday first time everyone who started finished, hope that happens more often. )

dont want this to happen :(


Full damage and a pace car are things that will come in future Le Mans Championship Series but not right now.
 
I hated how they were questioning Vettel's judgement and maturity after that incident, it was just a racing incident under dificult conditions. I'm just happy he won it all at the end when nobody expected him to do it!

yea, i didnt think vettel should have been punished or anything . It is still a race after all.

It just sucked for Jensen, and mistakes happen.

standings will be posted later, any know how the Super GT guys get all those cool spreadsheets on the forums??? i know how to use microsft excel & all that but dunno how to get it here.

Also ask your friends if they may want to join the championship. Need 1 or 2 more drivers & maybe another reserve.
Maybe someone who will drive the C9 or another GT-One or 05 Audi R8 so we can have another team:tup:
 
Pictures of the start of the race. ill do the rest later this week


Ayrtonschumacher leads the pace lap

Then he bombs it leaving everyone else behind.

Jake got a poor exit from turn 1 allowing me to close in.

The sauber gets a little excited out of the corner . . .

As does one of the bentleys

Me and bombe battle for third behing jake

Bombe eventually got the inside line and passed me.

And does the same to jake a lap later.

Bombe then nailed it leaving me, Jav and jake in a battle for third

It was a tight squeeze going down to turn 1

The bentleys after starting from the back where on a charge, pressuring other the gt one

Disaster for jake as he spins in to the gravel. Me and Jav took advantage.

And another 908 does exactly the same thing a few seconds later

these are only from the start of the race as i couldnt be bothered watching the whole race. ive tried to include everyone at least once.:)

with the spreadsheet you need to make it first (obviously) and the way i would do it is take a printscreen and put that on flickr or photobucket. Then add it to the forum. As for making it a photo just put it in fireworks or something. Not sure about that part.

Btw I was thinking, if a MAJOR incident occured on track during one of the races then we could possibly have a red flag followed by a restart. Would at least be interesting. Need an way of enforcing it. Then the first car on track to finish their current lap would be a pace car like lap 1. Like Super GT but they have 2 race stewards per lobby
 
im looking at the photos. They are fab by the way. Congrats but there is one annoying thing. Im looking at each photo with a 908 saying "is that me?" over and over. I think im the middle car in the last photo. God nows they are all 908s

They're taking a screenshot of the spreadsheet with Print Screen and then just pasting it into an image editor.

Do you want me to cook up a nice-looking spreadsheet with workbooks for Driver Roster, Results, and Standings? I need something to keep me busy today.

I could also do it as a MS Access database if you know how to use that. If not Excel works okay.
