Lefty... we changes hosts for A to Gravitron... see if you can join now.
 
DC'd. First time today...oh well. I was going for a top 5 too. :(

Just my luck: great connection = run super slow in the low division room. Get DC'd while running well and going for a top spot. :banghead:
 
Almost had a good night after multiple attempts to join the A lobby to no avail, the B lobby looked the other way and waived me through and off we went. Got to lap 13 of all numbers and blasting trough the switch back the wheel locked up and the screen froze. I was so looking forward to a wonderful evening and went down in flames

Sorry to hear that Lefty. Exactly the same thing happened to me in EU.
 
I got a podium in my second week or racing and went the whole way without pitting although I was still a lap behind the leader...
 
Whoa...it happened to a bunch of guys today. Let's hope PD/Sony is working around the clock to fix the GT servers. This is a total bummer, man. :boggled:

I'm going to assume you are talking about Pasm. That guy is in a league of his own and I would consider it a partial victory if he was the only one ahead of you.

Yeah that's the guy. I think I was already 6 seconds back after the first lap. He's a beast

Whoever came in 2nd, consider it a room B victory really. Bart would have wiped any of us in the A room. The hard part is we have no stewards in D3 or D4 and we can't have official races without an official steward in the lounge to direct things and make sure everyone is to spec. I asked a couple weeks ago if there were any drivers interested and the response was less than overwhelming. So each week the slower lounge is going to have a ringer... sometimes they aren't going to just watch and do nothing for an hour like I did for the EU-C race and they are going to want to drive... we're not going to ask them to take their time and sit on their hands, especially in Bart's case when it was 4 AM in the morning. If we get some stewards from D3 and D4 then we'll protect you guys from sharks like Bart. Until then, save the replays and watch his every move and learn his tricks.

I just hate it, I remember when my bike would break in practice and I wouldn't get to race either moto. It was hart breaking knowing that I couldn't grow that week so it felt like I went backwards by two weeks and take me two successful weekends to get back to where I would have been if the stupid scooter would have stayed together. So back to my 5-9 (that's get up at five and work till 9 in the evening) grind until I get another chance at a track as sweet as Apricot. :(

i managed to stay in front of pasm for about a lap after we left the pits, and kept up with him for the next half lap. then i didnt see him again. zooooom
 
Well driven guys of the NA B lounge 👍 It's a shame that many didn't get the chance to finish. Everyone on track had great awareness and the formation lap was outstandingly clean as well. Hope to see you again in the future!

I volunteered but heard nothing from it. I was under the impression that there was to be an indoctrination of some sort, maybe you admins were too busy to co-ordinate such a thing?

Yes Gayle, you were the lone person to say you were interested and we were hoping to recruit a few so we could combine some instruction and training. We haven't forgotten. Also given you said yourself you want to be a backup we need multiple people to cover the races every week... Also for both EU and NA.
 
Room A NA was a tough group to be running with. Not really a problem since I was bumping around at the back of the pack.
Thought I got bumped out by Pilmat but watched the replay and saw that I cut into him after a pass thinking I had more room. Oh well, paid the price and learned a lesson. Glad I didn't take him out to! Sorry Pil.
I'll keep on working at it so I can run in A group. Nothing like a good butt kicking to keep you humble.

Wow, I had expected more participation really! It seems, maybe, to be a daunting undertaking for more inexperienced racers like my self so interest in taking it on and the time involved wasn't there. I could forgo being a backup but participation in the longer races are not possible with my limitations at this time. I would be happy to support WRS and do what I could for the community tho.
 
Room is open for AU/NZ pre race.

See below for new room.

EU race Room B :

Good fair and clean racing 👍 weldone guys. @LittlePaul78 Congratulations on your win. I had a bit of a slow start due to hosting etc, and immidiatly was passed by @Crispy74 and @ernestone . I was able to follow him and put the pressure on, but at the same time I had @pilmat on my tale, so i had to devide my attention between attacking and defending. As Paul mentioned I was on a 'zero stop' strategy wich worked out well..... until lap 34 :) At that moment I was in the lead, but I saw @LittlePaul78 and @McLaren gainning time quickly. Dropped down from first to 4th position as my last laps where really to slow.... Good fun, and i hope to see you guys soon again on track.

We had a stable room without lag or DC's. 👍

Oh yes, and before I forget, my appolagies for my mistake in the qualy, promise I will never do it again ;)
 
I'm in d4 I would be happy to help out stewarding I will also just sit and watch some races as I only want to race in the eu time slots so the NA and aus slots I could watch and steward.
Let me no if there's anything I can do
