IZOD IndyCar Series | Cancelled, S2 to Follow in January 2012

[cgr-10]

Alright, go to create a room in GT online and it should say:

Your NAT type is ___ and your Bandwidth is ____

Will you just check them for me mate 👍

 

[Cowboys965]

Open and high I think! if I remember correctly

 

[cgr-10]

Yep, that should be absolutely fine, if I remember rightly I'll put something on the OP about adding both LV and you on PSN, just in case you have to host the races 👍

 

[ronin85]

I could also host if it's needed my nat is 2 and bandwidth is high.

 

[cgr-10]

I'll have you down as a reserve host, thanks for the help guys 👍

 

[Drum404]

I could host as well. Nat=Type 2, Bandwidth=Very High.

 

[cgr-10]

It's ok, we've already got a couple of backup hosts now, should be fine 👍

 

[Drum404]

Aaaand the DLC is very problematic...stupid delays and stuff.

 

[Knelly]

I would always suggest it's a better host if you're wired up. Less chances of people not seeing each other etc.

I am wired and rarely have issues. I'm happy to certainly have my room used as host room for either.

I believe it could even be used for US series even though would still be at work. It would just need a co-ordinator within the room.

Offers there guys, plus if I had to vote for above offers, I would vote for whoever was wired.

 

[cgr-10]

Actually...do you want to host the UK series in your lounge Knelly? I know we haven't had any connection problems with my room yet, but yours might run smoother with a full grid etc.

 

[ddsLeonardo]

I just want to assure myself: 20:00BST is the time for Open Practice, right? Following default UK time schedule, I mean. Because if 20:00BST is race starting time I will not be here.

Also, if we are going to unite UK and US in this race there is much more players than spots. If this counts in anyway, I want to confirm my presence [assuming it will start at 21:45BST].

Regards,

 

[Knelly]

More than happy to dude. If I have any issues getting to open it on schedule then I'll let you know man.

Ps, nice NASCAR running last night. Tighten yourself up a bit in the corners and happy to have you as a Joe Gibbs reserve 👍

Anybody US or UK can come to this pre-season race, we're not expecting many drivers from the US series to show up due to scheduling conflicts etc.

Yep, practice starts 20:00BST for this race.

EDIT: Ok mate, I'll PM all of our UK runners and tell them to add you as the new host. Cheers man, hopefully I can sort out the cornering when I get my wheel at christmas, I get the feeling I might be needed as one of our team mates is a new member who might not show up 👍

 

[Knelly]

Yup don't hold much faith from voldemort. Havent heard a dickie bird from him.

Oh man, you'll love the wheel. Dfgt? Worth every penny.

Just picked up my Openwheeler seat today. Google it man. Freekin awesome setup with my 40" 3D LSD.

Joe uses controller. Sure he'd give you a tip or two till you get the wheel.

 

[DrifterJoe]

The only thing in GT5 that I think I'll need a wheel for is golding the Vettel special event to get the prototype X2010.

 

[RaPidZx]

hello im am looking to join this serise and im a clean racer, i have a blue FGT
Thanks

 

[cgr-10]

Yeah the wheel is gonna be awesome, DFGT. And second that on Voldemort, I heard he no showed in another series, I was looking at our team list and just facepalmed. Yeah I've seen those before, they look amazing man, have fun with it! 👍

On another note, I've sent PM's to pretty much everybody reminding them about tomorrow and notified the US drivers about the delay and host issues. And I've told them all to add you (Knelly) if they want to race tomorrow, so be prepared for an influx of requests

Also the ORB told me that a guy called hawkeye does a pace car service. I'm gonna find and ask him about helping us out for the US series.

 

[cgr-10]

Welcome mate, finally another Brit! You're in, we have a pre season race tomorrow, which is optional. You might want to add me and Knelly on PSN at least 👍

 

[RaPidZx]

[cgr-10]

Yeah I got your PSN and GTP down on the OP. I won't be online tonight again, add me now and I'll accept tomorrow, cheers 👍

 

[RaPidZx]

[cgr-10]

We are racing at Spa tomorrow, all the information is on the OP (first post), you will also need to set up your car to the specifications shown, transmission, BHP, weight etc.

It's in a private lounge, like I said. Add 'Knelly' on PSN 👍

 

[Drum404]

Fellow Americans, What are you turning at Madrid with the regulations? I'm in the 1.07s I think.

 

[mechyboy27]

Road Course: The track will be reset and you will have 300 minutes to post the fastest lap time possible which will determine your starting position, simple.

Please tell me you mean 30.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Yep it's 30. 👍 Room opens at 20:00 BST, room is reset at 20:30 and we qualify for 30 minutes (different procedure on ovals, check the OP), and the race begins at 21:00 with a pace lap before we get the green.

 

[mechyboy27]

Is it possible to qualify on comfort softs?

 

[Knelly]

Indycar Spa Day ..... Yay!

 

[cgr-10]

Nope, qualifying is on Comfort mediums or hards.

Wooo! we're in your lounge tonight Knelly if you didn't know 👍

 

[Knelly]

Nervous about it all going wrong tonight. Hope it all goes well.

 

[cgr-10]

Haha, I'm just gonna try keep it on the track

On a side note, seems like somebody has just started up a Lupo Cup. What are the chances? I might pursue another idea I have maybe for a December/January start, it's another American based series.
