GTP WRS-Online Event 2 : FXXza Irresistibile! - February 5, 2014

[Hottracer88]

I was on the fence too, but I think I might run it now. I need the experience, especially in a car I'm not 100% comfortable with.

Yea I just got to work with breaks they grab and pull my car can't have that. Thats my real only problem I think but I've only try couple times and got mad. Oh yea I don't have break points all by feel.

Got a question I can't decide if I should run this race. I know I haven't been able to get a handle on it and might not be able run that well. I wanted to try to do everything and race every week but this week not my cup of tea. What u think my best option and would I be missing out on anything but chance race one week. I know you don't run points or anything but just checking if if make if difference.

Note that we are strongly considering a little rolling points table based on the merged results, but there is no "championship", just something for fun and to compare performance across lobbies and time zones over time.

Make sure you have purchased RH's for the car, else the option will not be there when you pit, as I just found out after running 20 laps on SS's and then pitting!

The car feels weird on the RH's ...

Had to switch to reserve for EU race and cancel my registration for the AU race.

That sucks Hope everything is OK.

A Practice Room just opened. Here is the number:
1472-6118-4216-8216-8459

Keep that on the DL...we don't want the riff-raff ruining all of our fun, right?

update: GT server issues shut down the room.

 

[Racingworld68]

Yes everything ok, it's just that I am busy looking for a new job, and I have 'a second conversation' with a new employer only 90 minutes before the race.....

Cool! Good luck with the interview

Registered as a Reserve as I get home from OS that morning so depending on the sleep I get on the Plane.
As the Hotel does not have a PS3 I will only get practice just before the event which will be a challenge

 

[GTP_DeathStar]

...the sleep I get on the Plane...

Does that exist??? I have never been able to do that.

So, if I may ask this question...

Let's say you did not run the TT for this car and track combination. Can you still apply to run in the race?

Always!! (provided you are in the Registry )

Pilmat is correct. But there are certain weeks you can just show up and drive, and then there are weeks like this one. You really need to know your brakepoints and get a good amount of practice in close quarters around others if you plan to race.

 

[RacingOtaku86]

I got the car, practiced for a bit... And I think I got a handle on it. I'll come to practice tomorrow and refine my lines. Of course, I'll practice on my own time. I'm looking forward to the race.

Practice is tomorrow at 7:00 pm Central, right?

Thought I'd already signed up but checked and had to resubmit

 

[GTP_DeathStar]

I think that I may be able to race on Wednesday without taking everyone out, like I thought I would when I was running laps for the Time Trial. I'll be in and out of practice rooms until then to keep sharp.

@Kessil, why do you always submit your PSN ID with "..." before it? You won't show up in the table or be assigned a lobby until you enter it right as I'm not fixing it for the 3rd week in a row.

 

[RacingOtaku86]

Could I be a noob and say that the wheels can't be painted on the FXX?

Yes you could and you would be right. They are forced stock black.

Ps. all practice laps posted should be done with first stint SS tires.

sorry think I got it right this time

 

[doctsuru_69]

I did not make it to TT deadline-- does that mean i have no chance of participating on race day even as reserve driver?

 

[WRP001]

Was about to jump in a room, but servers are down for maintenance?
