GTP WRS-Online : Event 87 : "Z" Ultimate Driving Machine - May 8

[GTPskills]

Just signed up!! Nice to see you racing on GTP Shane! Looking forward to this, Will do some practice.

 

[oink83]

Haha, just seen my rim colour has been changed to "horrible green". Love it :tup:

In other news, I'm at about 80% for racing the NA race. Need to "configure" something with work, but it's looking likely that I will be able to make that race. I'll leave it as reserve for now until I can confirm 100%.

 

[oink83]

Coming to the main lobby now for the bit of testing/practice.

Edit: Typical. Need to get some dinner now apparently. Ill get back in the room as soon as I'm done 👍

 

[WRP001]

Jumping in the lounge now.

 

[WRP001]

Testing complete... We're sticking with "FAST" tire wear/fuel consumption, but we're adding a couple laps so the race will be 25 (+1) laps.

Be aware that this event will be about 5 minutes longer than our average race (just under an hour race time for the winner not including the formation lap). This will give anyone attempting a 2 stop strategy a bit of extra time to make up the gap... whether that's enough we'll just have to wait to find out.

Welcome. I believe we have Tidgney to thank for you signing up with us? I'll take care of those FR when you send them. Cheers.

Cheers Dude ,

Really enjoyed the racing on Saturday , Any chance you have a full run BMW for me as i don't really use that car too often? It was Tidge that said he is racing here and i don't miss a chance to race with him when i can , Hopefully see him on track soon .

Cheers

 

[Tidgney]

You'll see me ghost , I've just signed up now, didn't realise it was a premium car, so will get home and set it off with an enduro while I eat and stuff, then join in for the practice later !

 

[WRP001]

I can send out two broken in cars today. Give me and hour.

Sent you a broken in car (from 3d3).

There is a chance we'll be at 16 tomorrow and race in my lounge (one spot is always reserved for the host so we don't use the 3D3 lounges when it's 16 usually -- i'm not running as 3D3 in an official race or with a non recommend garage car as I did on Saturday. ). Everyone else on the registration is on my friends list, but I tried to send you a request and it said you were full. You might need to clear a spot for me.

We're all going to be in the lounge at 19:00 GMT for the official practice today.

PS> No jury duty again today so I'm in for practice... hopefully I'll be excused tomorrow as well but can't update my status to confirmed until I find out at 5:30 PM Pacific.

Shame theres no inbuilt system for that in game huh?

 

[WRP001]

I'm being pulling into a meeting at 19:00 GMT... won't be able to join practice until at least 20:00 GMT.

[Speedy6543]

The Main Lounge is open for practice!

I assume we'll still be in the lounge at that time Tim.

 

[Tidgney]

Who knows what's in the PS4 Social !

 

[mohitraina91]

I'll be joining soon. Bob's still breaking the car in.

 

[oink83]

Heading to the lounge now for practice.

 

[n0iZe83]

Sorry guys, got disconnected again. My Internet is giving me a hard time, also my G27 brake pedal is not working properly.
With my new ISP the internet worked fine the first few days and now it´s just disconnecting every 30 minutes
Didn´t have the pace to stay with you guys anyways.
Have fun in the race tomorrow.

 

[Tidgney]

Well that was a rather insane last practice race from me, behind Wes and Ghost battling it out, just hoping for that opportunity. Didn't happen though but cracking racing guys! Certainly looking forward to tomorrow now !

 

[GTPskills]

Absolutely exstatic! I actually feel competitive going into this one dudes, I feel as if I can actually battle with the top guys, finally...

 

[oink83]

yus, agree with all of the above Great fun practice, hopefully a pre-cursor to a great fun race. Looking forward to seeing you all on track tomorrow.

Just remember "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" and driving within your limits and respecting other drivers per the OLR is more important than any finishing position.

 

[WRP001]

The admins want to stress the track boundary rules for this track. There is significant time to be gained if you overrun the track boundaries so we'll be discouraging this by reviewing the replay and handing out penalties for any observed patterns of abuse.

In particular:

• The overrun area after turn 2 on track side right
• The overrun area after turn 4 on track side left
• The final chicane

These pics are NOT within track boundaries:

I'm in if someone can send me a car. After not finishing last week I'm quite broke :-(
