I've really took a liking to the track for this week(Tsukuba). Short tracks and FF cars seem to go well together. I never drove FF cars much until now but I really like them.
Now if I could just get a handle on my wheel spin on the exits of the slow turns. Going to be a lot of fun this Thursday night.

Eh, I'm not happy unless Tsukuba is full of long black stripes after a race.
 
I completely forgot about last thursday! :guilty: I'll be there this week though!

....though I'm not sure how my March's little 1.3 is gonna keep up with all the Hondas... :indiff:

Hate I missed you. I was up practicing in my lounge testing tire wear.

Cool avatar. I need to find something like that.
MBOBB has a good one too.
 
Sorry I missed you guys too!! I was on, but trying to find a super awesome color combo for the enduro league. Then I went off on a tangent doing screen color calibration, which lead to sound system calibration, and watching Cars.... If you've never calibrated your TV screen, visit myperfectpicture.tv and it will walk you through it. If you've got a DVD that's THX certified (like Disney / Pixar Cars for example) that will help you in the 3rd step, but it's not necessary.

1 more day until the next race! Can't wait to see you all there!

As long as you're careful with your throttle control and not going full tilt around corners, you should be alright. Here's a tip: keep your tire squeal down to a minimum. If you keep hearing loud tire squealing, and you consistently light up your tires, you're driving too aggressively. A little tire squeal is fine, just to be clear on that.

BTW, I got the colours. Thank you very much.

Thanks otaku, I adjusted my braking points back alittle further this morning to were I'm not on the brakes full until right before my turn in. That allowed me a lot smoother entry. Doing that allowed me to ease the gas on while still in the turn instead of having to roll all the thru it. Which stopped a lot of my wheel spin on exit.

I love this game.

Hope you like the paints

are we racing in Turtletown or Turtle-Home?

Up to jay*doc I'm assuming I sent everyone a turtle home request expect iamstd which I can do when I get home.
 
^Don't think I've got a fr for Turtle-Home. PSN ncrthree

Finally got some practice in today in Turtle Town. Left Tsukuba in a tremendous mess reeking of burnt rubber. Could barely see the track after all the skidmarks. Gotta love Wrong Wheel Drive!

Sent! I sent it too ncthree last time. My bad, you should get it now.

Also sent to turtleracer13 and iamstd! If your saying to yourself where is it? You either have?

1. Not accepted the friend request

2. Accepted it while on gt5, in order to see it you must quit the game and start it back up

Or

3. I'm just blind and can't spell that I accidently sent it too the wrong person or forgot to send it to someone :lol:
 
Lets play in the Turtle Town tonight and then after tonight we'll move it to Turtle Home.

See you all soon!

Also, see the updated Prize Listing for this months event. Pretty exciting stuff!

Great racing last night everybody 👍
I had a great time. I need more quality pack racing like we had in the second race. And I need to learn to be able to hold a position when I pass someone. Felt really good to finally be able to run up there with you guys.
Thanks for the compliments lastnight. You guys are the best.

And I had no idea Otaku was in the second race: confused: sorry for that Otaku. I guess I need to pay better attention to the leader board too.

Thanks again everybody

You didn't know I was in the race? Was I shown as loading on your screen like you were on mine?

It showed you there but never in the pits. I saw your comments but your square never showed up by your name.
And you were'nt on either one of my leader boards during the race. I don't recall ever seeing your car:confused: I thought maybe you just decided to sit them out for some reason.
Second race results showed in this finishing order: ncrthree, ph1sher, socket68, johnsom then MBOBB don't recall the others of the top of my head.
I'll look at replays in the morning. Glitch on my end I guess.
Can we be in a race together and you never show up on my screen?:weird:
Anyways it was fun racing with you.
