I'm sorry dude, I'd be pissed if that happened

Thanks mate.. It came back up. Everything was working fine. Then my whole internet went out.

Sorry for the PD, Sony, maintainence comment.

Drove to the end of my street, and there was an ATT internet "technician." He said he was only working on someone elses line and hadn't touched mine.. Ah yeah, look again.

Now its working.. But got kicked from the main race, and just missed the start of the sprint.

Thankfully it didn't happen when I was trading stocks.

Well, on to next week.

I decided to go "All-in" and milk the NSX's straight line advantage to the fullest, so minimal downforce and maximum power.

Feature race was a rollercoaster. Started from 7th on the grid, immediately took two places on the straight and was battling for 5th with themainman1980. After a few laps I started to seriously lose pace and people were overtaking me left and right. I managed to stick around at the back of the pack for some laps but I was slowly losing sight of them.

After 14 or so laps I was frustrated and decided to for mediums immediately (at first I thought I'd save them for the end of the race), which was a good idea. I was steadily overtaking cars and with people pitting I suddenly found myself in the lead of the race. I was running consistent with the mediums even after 12 or so laps, the tyres felt good and I thought I could do one more lap. This was the biggest mistake of the race for me, since after the 130r corner the road suddenly turned into an ice skating rink. I was doing some serious drifting to keep the car straight and lost a lot of time and two people overtook me. After going back to hards I was really pushing it because I knew I had "too much" rubber in the tyres for the rest of the race. In the last 4 laps I overtook two cars and in the end finished 7th, exactly where I had started.

Sprint race was just a mad battle all the way from the start with my teammate Widowmaker. We were swapping places several times each lap and then themainman1980 decided to join in and we had a good 3-way scrap, me overtaking them on the straight and them overtaking me in the corners. At one point we even had a three wide braking battle into the first corner, it was really intense! I managed to overtake Widow on the last lap and finished 6th, one place down from where I started.

Damn OK8, should've asked people about reducing aero for top speed 'cause it absolutely kills the handling of the car and only gives you about 3 mph top speed edge.

Hehehe I guess 3mph is more than I expected, you should've seen it

Obviously, as I took the aero out I substituted more power. I was hitting 315km/h at the end of the straight with slipstreaming and overtook several cars that way. Also in the fast sections after the hairpin at 300r corner I was pulling away which made it easy to defend against other cars (I even overtook Widowmaker there on the last lap of the sprint race).

 

[GV27]

PAL GT300 Feature race was absolutely amazing! 👍 Probably the most fun I've her had with GT5 online, guys.

Sprint was a bit more chaotic, but I guess that is to be expected! I think we all learnt stuff today on that race.

 

[toyotsupra]

Got no big deal over it, but just want to raise this rule before it becomes a problem - i.e. there are some pit lanes where crossing the white line could result in an accident. A lot of people crossed both Pit In and Pit Exit lines big time in the Sprint race. Didn't notice anything in the Feature race.

You must also make sure to stay on the correct side of the pit line (entering and exiting). Failing to do so will not automaticly end up in a penalty. But if an incident is caused due to a driver crossing that line, the driver who crossed the line will in all cases be the quilty part.

Racing was fantastic tonight guys, thanks! Loved every minute.

 

[GV27]

I did that, actually. I realised it was "my lap" to stop a bit too late. I looked back before making a move, saw you at a safe distance and entered the pitlane. Obviously it's not happening again

Thanks for the racing to you too. Today was amazing.

i also noticed that. with hindsight, we should of changed it to the crossing the white line will result in a penalty. never mind, too late now. even though both races were a bit of a disaster for me on a personal note, i think its a great start to the season. that feature race in the gt300's must go down as 1 of the best ever in the WSGTC.

 

[Andil]

Definitely! Was a bit gutted to not come away with the win there actually because I think 3 laps from the end I managed to get a bit of a break, and ended up making a big error at the hairpin, meaning all my hard work was undone, back with 3 cars in the tow!

But yeah, no biggy over the white line stuff, just wanted to bring it up because in sprint races it could obviously get quite hectic with a lot of people wanting to pit on the same lap, so the potential for incident is quite high.

 

[paulmac2k9]

I tried pitting a lap later but contact from Skanny ruined my plan sadly.

provisional PAL gt500 results tomorrow. Sorry, I'm off for tonight guys

 

[NEPALII]

Have to agree with you guys here, Feature race was absolutely EPIC!! What a race! I cant believe I won, I was 4th far from mole, gv and cicua and somehow managed to catch up. Cicua must have been holding them, thanks man appreciate! Then on last corner of last lap I get a better exit than GV and thanks to draft, I steal the victory by 0.036 seconds! INSANE!!

Sprint race was a bit rough, but it didn't ruin the day. Man, we were bumper to bumper with Heavy damage ON, and no problems occured on Feature race. Incredible, shows the talent that is in PAL GT300! Fantastic, can't wait for Laguna. Probably the best decision I have made in GT5, switching to GT300.

👍

I used to hope I could be fast just so that I could get good results. Now I hope I'm fast only so that I may be able to enjoy another fun race like today again.

 

[CAMikaze]

Any stewards available to have a look at my try at Qualifying? And to the person who sent me the Garaiya, I got a question to ask of you if it's OK.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Cami I can if you want . (Hopefully your better than you are on Batracer .)

Also I believe Litchi sent it to you.

I'm not a "person", I'm Litchi . And yea, what's your question?

Technically your both Litchi .

 

[Litchi]

Technically your both Litchi .

lol, a lot of your post makes me smile Paulmac2KKKKK9 (with a big K ahahah). Much appreciated 👍

 

[CAMikaze]

I'm not a "person", I'm Litchi . And yea, what's your question?

How'd you get the transmission to the settings you have? I can't get the transmission settings to what you got and I cannot figure it out for the better life of me.

 

[Litchi]

Wow... my transmission.

I do this on all my race cars:

1- reset to default
2- set final gear to maximum value on the right (5000-5500 for race cars i think)
3- set max speed to minimal value on the left
4- set 6th gear to maximal value on the right
5- set final gear to your desired max speed (visible on the top right of the window)
6- set 1st gear to maximal left
7- set 2nd gear to maximal left
8- set 3rd 4th and 5th gears to obtain a nice curve
9- when i change track, i only change my final gear, nothing else.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Litchi No problem I allways try to make jokes at every given opertunaty especialy when im in a good mood after some truely great racing, again big 👍 everyone in Pal Gt300 for a superb night.
