Hmm, like the old test course on GT4/3 then. Complex string would have been more my tastes but as we got Spa I am not bitter

 

[Matty]

Hmm.. I'll try to get it as its so cheap.. I'll try my best anyway as I'm saving up to go to spain..

Well they had to give us oval boys something

Oh and speaking of ovals, if you're a fan of any type of oval racing, iRacing is pretty damn amazing for it. They do road courses, open wheel, GT etc. But they really cater to ovals, it's brilliant. Currently driving the legend cars round some short tracks but it shouldn't be long before I can move up to IndyCar on the ovals and the Camping Trucks

EDIT: Nice one Matty, it's only £3.19. I'm off to Madrid in March, can't wait

Going to Barcelona on a school soccer trip in march too 👍 I think Akmuq or whatever his new gay name is, is going as well.

It's GTP on tour!

Ah, Barcelona will be cool mate. Off to Madrid for 5 days with school, we're getting a tour of the Bernebeu aswell which should be awesome 👍

Going playing a tournament and going watching Barcalona V. Osauna in Camp Nou fills out almost every game so there should be well over 90000 there hopefully even 100000 if it turns out to be important. Going for 4 days so you'll be gone longer but ah well

GTP Tour

The old test track was 6 miles apparently (was reading comments in a DLC thread). This one seems to have time change, and elevation change (to allow the ships to go in and out of middle of track under it somewhere). Hopefully this one is also 6 miles long.

I don't care really as long as it can top out a X2010 and 2011 to see which is better

We're racing the Ovals? The desert one?

I think my PSN account has juuuust enough money for the tracks.

Yup hopefully, we've got the two Superspeedways and one 'Mega-speedway'

 

[JakobNascar88]

Does it have pits?

 

[cgr-10]

Does it have pits?

Should do, if not I may do sprint races or turn tyre wear off.

EDIT: According to early reports the test track is 30km long, possibly not suited to racing but we'll see

 

[cgr-10]

On another note I've decided to bundle Jakob with Anarchy in HVM Racing. Looks like this will be everyone, but 12 entries is pretty good and we should expect around 10 guys at every race.

I wanna teammate :'( *kicks, screams and crys until one gets what one wants *

Anyway.. Practice about ten-ish tonight yes?

 

[cgr-10]

I only did it because they both have cars with Green on them

Yes mate, should be back by then 👍

What track are we testing on. Indy?

 

[LVracerGT]

So are we just testing tonight and delaying the series?

Think thats the plan.

 

[cgr-10]

Yes, just testing tonight lads.

My lounge at 2200GMT, we'll be testing at Indy. Will probably run some 10 lap races aswell to get you all used to running in a pack together for next week 👍

 

[Matty]

Sorry Tom I might not make it.. I think I pulled my shoulder today and it's sore.. I was racing earlier but it's only gotten worse..

I'll see how I feel in a hour and I MIGHT join.. but for now count mee out 👎

 

[cgr-10]

Ok matty, come along if you can 👍

Will be on in the next half hour, just watching the Dubai 24h for a bit.

 

[cgr-10]

Room open for an hour or so 👍

I think it's Granada, but who cares, it's going to be the same end result.

 

[cgr-10]

Testing tonight was good, reasonable turnout for such short notice too. Thanks guys 👍

Yes was good. The car felt good and responsive. I took some photos from a couple of the races and will post them tomorrow.

Ah nice one, my setup felt brilliant aswell. Really feeling good for the season, got a great team-mate and I've had plenty of pre-season practice 👍

EDIT: Added a video of last year's crazy Indy 500 finish to the OP in case anybody didn't see it.

 

[JakobNascar88]

Do we get the new track for free?

 

[cgr-10]

No it's £3.19 DLC released on Tuesday 👍

Something like that happened in our Indy race I think.

I haven't got the replay anymore but I do remember it being close. You overtook me in the last turn and we were trading paint down the pit straight all the way to the line if I recall rightly.
