[SkengD]

Race was very bad for me , started well spun once and then twice and was only off by 10 seconds but then a really bad spin just killed my spirits , just called it a night.

See you next week.

 

[phil bell]

Not impressed with what what went on last segment. Feel damn sick too. 👎
My strategy worked though even though I spun. 👍

 

[SkengD]

Good win though phil

 

[phil bell]

Thanks man, lucky you and Immortal (especially) had ballast if not I'd have been done.

 

[ABud]

Mad race. Really struggled for the first few laps after the distance markers were knocked over, I really rely on those!! Then got knocked off the track a few times by 500 drivers and made a few stupid mistakes of my own. After my last pit (lap 48) was in 6th place for 300s, about 20 seconds off 4th but caught them with 2 laps to spare. Pretty close margin for making a 4 stopper work!

God i was stressed for the last few laps

 

[Panoz]

If anybody needs a steward to look at a event during the race. Please private message myself, alefin, or benny to take a look.

 

[alefin]

Stay away from the chili and nice win panoz + phil.

Posting results soon along with replay

 

[Bennen13]

I'm really sorry about that bump off Abud. I just got a little too impatient since I knew it was going to be close at the end for me getting on the podium, and got loose when I put the power down. If you want to report it, go right ahead man, I'll have no problem with it.

 

[ABud]

It's ok, that was not an easy track to pass on. Just more patience I guess and realize that we have to concentrate on our own races too.

Replay for importing into GT5​

Most of the Gt500 drivers were nasty drivers to the GT300 class. Not good racing at all. 👎
I lost a position on last lap becouse of being shoved off the track by a GT500 driver. I would have been 5th instead of 6th. Ohhh thank u very much.

 

[Bennen13]

Can't say I'm happy with third, but since I didn't even get to tweak my setup or practice until Friday, I won't complain. My tire wear was a b***h though, the fronts wore out waaay to quickly.

I gave you a car width and drove in the sand all the way inside, but you turned right in on me like I wasn't there. You have no one to blame but yourself for losing the position.

The Arta behind you and other 300 drivers know when a 500 car was up there, why couldn't you?

On my replay that was what it was. I can post up a video if you like.

I have to apologise to Killa and Alefin though for a bump and blocking on pit exit respectively.

 

[Panoz]

I got a few events I'm need a steward like Shagg or Dragon to go over with me. Hopefully by the replay that alefin is sending or by Skype.

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Alefin i was p8.

 

[joetruckv8]

I agree some of the GT500 guys need to not pass just on any turn because its next, especially if there is a staright away 1 more turn away, but if Mazda was scary you can bet Monaco will be worse! 1 line, short lap, and traffic, I'm betting its going to be mayhem! See you guys there'

 

[alefin]

I'll check again, but I'm pretty sure when Pepsi passed the finish line, skengdigi and the others were just finishing their laps and were a lap down from you.

You got the results right on alefin skeng was a lap behind the top 5 at the end.

 

[alefin]

Yeah, I checked again. Immortal, you were in the pits and just got onto lap 64 before Pepsi finished the race, while skengdigi, cam & Brad were on lap 63.

5. GTPL_IMMORTAL how 5th when it seys he finished 8th ?

 

[SkengD]

It was really late for me and i didnt take a nap earlier in the day so my driving wasnt very good . Apologies to mikecanze i know i hit him real bad , unintentionally ofcourse.

I didnt it any gt300 guys , i was quite patient with them .

If you guys have problems in the races , remember the lap and drivers involved and pm the stewards.

 

[alefin]

I think Shagg explains it best.

Official finish line explanation

[ . . . ]

​

The checkered flag process first starts off with the leader of the 500 class. When the 500 leader comes to take the checkered flag and finishes, this starts the end of the race. This is obvious when the server says who the winner of the race is. The rest of the 500 cars continue until they cross the line again and that sets the 500 results.

Now after the finish line message comes saying who the winner of the race is, the next time the leader of the 300 crosses the line, that designates the checkered flag for the 300 cars. For now on, when the 300 winner crosses the line, they are to type into the chat "Win". This will now tell everyone in the 300s that the 300 leader has taken the checkered flag and the rest of the 300 drivers go until they come back to the line. You are only allowed to cross the finish line once after the leader of the class has taken the checkered. So if you are a lap down to the leader of the class and you cross the line after he does you are done also. You don't keep to keep racing to get your lap back.

To enable all of this to happen the time delay in the room will be set to the highest to ensure that everyone on the lead lap of the 500s, and 300s get to cross the line. The time delay doesn't decide anything and is just there to give extra time for everything to finish. The stewards will always check the replay after the race to make sure things are right. If you feel a result is wrong and needs to be reviewed, message a steward and we will analyse the tape and fix or give an explanation.

The reason the GT5 game results are different is because some GT500 cars crossed the start/finish line twice after PepsiMax won.

They only officially completed lap 63 after Pepsi won but Immortal completed 63 much earlier than the others did. Skeng and the others continued racing on lap 64 and Immortal did not, but at that point the race was already officially over.

Hi alefin. I've copied your replay data to my PS3 and it's there in the saved data utility as it should be but GT5 replay theatre can't find it when I click on Import. Any ideas?

Ah, I'm just guessing here but I think you have a different version of GT5 (PAL vs NTSC). If you have some of your own replays or save data backed up, try checking what it says under your folder of PS3/SAVEDATA/BC**#####-

You'll have to change my folder name of PS3/SAVEDATA/BCUS98114-RPL001 to PS3/SAVEDATA/BC[whatever your version is]-RPL001.

Most likely your game version is BCES00569 (I think that's PAL) so you'd have to change my BCUS98114-RPL001 folder to BCES00569-RPL001.

I think that'll work but if that doesn't then I don't think the two game versions are compatible :/
