GTP_WRS Online: Parity Racing: Deep Forest Reverse - 1975 or older - 12/13 April

[WRP001]

All drivers please update your status for today. If it looks like there's a chance we'll be 16 we're going to run in my lounge so nobody gets left out (I didn't have a chance to get the car prepared in the GTP_3D3_A game save so that's not an option).

I'm going to check in here in about 2-3 hours and announce the lounge officially.

I'm fully confirmed today and all drivers should be on my friends list already (or have received a FR) so best bet is just to go to my lounge and "follow me" by clicking on the yellow button next to my tea cup.

I plan to open the lounge by 20:30 GMT and we'll start the first sprint race no later than 21:10 GMT so be prompt. If you are late arriving you are welcome to join on the next race start (from the front since we'll be doing reverse grid)... if you have to leave early, that's no problem either.

After the 4 official races (2 sprint / 2 feature) drivers are welcome to stick around for more, but I'll be turning over the reigns and will have to go.

See you all soon!

PS> 4WD cars like the one I'm driving have a *huge* advantage at the start... try not to take full advantage of that in every race. OK, so you win the first race and start at the back... don't just go blasting from 12th to 6th on the starting grid in the next race. Whoever starts in front of me will stay in front of me through turn 1 and expect a little bump at the line if you get a bad start... but not such a crazy push as in practice.

PPS> And for new guys who haven't run this format before... don't be surprised if someone crashes and drops off the back to see someone else (or 2) slow and wait for them. This is about close racing and battles and not about who wins. On the other hand if the same driver can't seem to keep the car on track and continually goes off don't expect people to wait over and over either... drivers are expected to keep up to the target pace or close.

Registered for tonight, got my car at specs... Gone for a car wich was not on the grid yet ; TVR Tuscan Speed 6 RM '00

In the lounge now for some practise.

 

[WRP001]

We may be 16 so we're racing in my lounge:

GTP_WRP001

If we have any major connection/lag issues we may split into two lounges, but hopefully that won't be necessary.

LOUNGE IS OPEN!

 

[oink83]

It will be mics disabled then I presume?

 

[WRP001]

It will be mics disabled then I presume?

yes it is... there are already 8-10 in the room... come on in!

 

[WRP001]

spot open.. mj left

EDIT: filled, by Litchi.

 

[WRP001]

Spot open, i'm out.

fun racing guys!

Nix that... the spot is reserved for the lounge owner... sorry.

 

[oink83]

Good racing tonight guys. Look forward to some more tomorrow.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Really good fun tonight 👍

I canceled my status for Sunday, pretty sure I wont be able to get on. So you guys can probably use 1 room again.

 

[mika012397]

Lol. Sure if you have some spare but I have some still myself so don't worry yourself over it

no problem like i said before only use blue black and white on my cars so don't need it.

ps: i have to see tomorrow if i can make the race if not then i'll try to update my registration before the race. will definitely be there wednesday tho really looking forward to that race i think it's gonna be pretty hectic since one mistake going too far on the on the curbs can easily spin you out.

Another great evening's parity racing guys. Its mental but you've gotta love it. 👍

 

[Racingworld68]

As for everybody, I also had a lot of fun 👍 Thanks for this combo. Here are some (got a little carrie'd away) pictures from todays parity racing, no photoshop straight from GT5



























Can You spot the car between Mohit and Sjaak ?



Here it is !!
















Enjoy Time to get some sleep now.

That's a priceless shot! 👍

 

[WRP001]

It was a pretty amazing lineup today... when you include the fact that Majed left after a couple races and Litchi took his spot we had 17 drivers enjoying the fun:

Interestingly I don't think I saw Chris or Paul even once for any of the 4 races I ran (and I would know with that pink thing). Seems like I was close to Frank and n0ize almost every race.

 

[n0iZe83]

Had a blast last night, some spectacular racing 👍
I really enjoy this parity formula.
Was very tough to overtake in this one

Thanks to everybody for coming out and especially to Tim for hosting.

EDIT: just noticed that the race today is at the exact same time as the start of the 24 hours on the Nuerburgring
Changed to reserve, have to watch the start at all costs, I maybe join later.

 

[some12hate]

was nice racing yesterday!
good format too.
for today things have changed a bit for me, only a 20% chance i'll make it.
so i changed my registration status.
good luck to those who will race today!!

Yup, you're right. I think it was a pendulum in terms of starting order. Shame because running close with you in practice was good fun. Nonetheless, good fun times were had. Perhaps today we will come across each other on track

 

[WRP001]

Opened up the main lounge (GTP_3D3Racing) for parity racing so come and get it!

First race will start at the top of the hour sharp and we're running all 10 lap sprints today as we did yesterday so if you arrive late you'll at worst have a 10 minute wait for the next race.

All are welcome!

 

[oink83]

On my way to the lounge now.

Edit: First race starting in about 2 minutes. Don't forget you can still join in at any point, we will be running a few 10 minute races, so drop in and you'll be good to go for the next race. Plenty of space, we're in the in the Main lounge.

 

[Sjaak]

May I say it? yes,I may......Epic racing guys.

Thanks for the two great race days.👍

I will dive onto the replays the next days to get some nice shots.

Great pics Tim. Might have to snap some myself after seeing those! Strangely, the number on my car got reset. I made it 11 (as per my signup) but it went back to 1. Lol, not that it matters at all. Fab racing though guys.

With the good date

 

[Sjaak]

My impression of 8 races and 80 laps of racing.

 

[Allibubba99]

Awesome pictures guys!!!! Someday this time slot will fit into my life and I can finally give it a try.

[oink83]

This page filled up rapidly with pics, so I'll only add a couple of my own. Just a little set from our 4 man battle on the last 15 lapper we did today. (Sorry Sjaak, you were just out of shot in some I think )

Line up for the camera

Hold up guys, I'm slow through here (Tim)

Follow the leader

Room for 1 more?

3 Wide!

Sadly, weekly races are on wednesday, so that wouldn't really work!

I don't think Mika was asking for parity on Wednesday, rather he was anxious for our race on Wednesday!
