PSN is terrible today. DC every 5 minutes.

 

[tarnheld]

Will give it a try, let's be optimistic... 💡

 

[watermelon punch]

Ugh better clear up!


This stinks!

I tried fixed and non fixed and whole room dropped anyway.

 

[amarynceos]

:C Dang, I'm getting bounced each time after just a few minutes. Curse you, network!

Don't know if I have the patience for network shenanigans today.

 

[tarnheld]

I call it a day, gremlins won.

 

[watermelon punch]

Looking like a wash. They need to fix something

 

[amarynceos]

Yeah, something's badly broken somewhere. Think I'll go play some F1 games, since I've got this time blocked out for racing. Or maybe be responsible and clean my office with this suddenly free time... nah, that's crazy talk.

-Breaking News-

--- Passionate track creator @Patrick8308 has just released three new fascinating tracks now available for upcoming Club Events! ---



This time you have the agony of choice between:

Imola

Virginia International Raceway

I hope you guys will give it a try, I'm quite sure you won't be disapointed.

 

[watermelon punch]

Thanks @Patrick8308 !!!

Results - 5 Feb. 2016 - Track Day - Brno Circuit

Don't know why it took me so long to post. A great track, sweeping high speed corners, challenging with MR drivetrain, good job @Patrick8308! 👍 And welcome back @hobbsy, even if you didn't make it on the leaderboard, but the bonus race with the Classics was a corker!

Spoiler: Race Results

Bonus Race

Haven't decided on a track for tomorrow, such much choice, either the classic tracks from @Patrick8308:

Imola
Magny-Cours
Virginia International Raceway

or the current TOTW Smörgåsbord ??? Do you have a favorite? 💡

BTW:

Here is the link to the newest Parity Rating! 👍

I just got an anonymous phone call giving me a hint to what amounts to be one of the greatest conspiracies since faking the city of Bielefeld. That's why i used the private thread post feature (enabled by adding this smilie chain: ) of GTPlanet making this post only visible to people not involved in the cover-up so i can tell you the truth. We need to investigate the claim that a certain restaurant can offer bottomless french fries, but as you all know the technology to enable such a feat can only be the infamous buttered-toast-strapped-to-back-of-cat perpetuum mobile, originally found in alien ships captured by the Illuminati at the back side of flat earth. So to finally prove that we have been lied to all the time we have to go to Switzerland and make it to the outerworldliest circuits of them all:

Today, 12. Feb 2016 19:30GMT - Track Day - Niederbipp Circuit

Make sure you bring along your reinforced tinfoil hats, i'll cover all other bribing and food expenses, but if the black helicopters arrive, you're on your own... See you there!

 

[JockeP22]

What a complete surprise. I had no idea you would post this, tarn.
What car list is on for tonight?

Thanks for sharing the strange story of a mysterious track well hidden from public eye. 👍

 

[JockeP22]

I'll get the two lists.
Still can't believe we're going there.

 

[tarnheld]

To all racers: make sure you have the Audi R8 4.2 FSI R tronic '07 ready and oil-changed on Sports Hard, we'll do a Klaus-Heinrich Vermeulen commemoration one-make race first. 👍

 

[tarnheld]

Room is up in the club lobby!

Ugh, this network... problems galore, but the track is an awesome test of courage, especially turn 1 with the super tricky braking zone at the end. 👍 Hope you liked it.

Thanks for the feedback, Rob. And thanks a lot for giving my track
a few races under it's belt.
This is what I started out with and I'm very pleased with how it turned out;

make sure you have the Audi R8 4.2 FSI R tronic '07 ready and oil-changed on Sports Hard
we'll do a one-make race first.

The Niederbippians are very hospitable people, i was invited to drink some Röteli and enjoy a Bündener Nusstorte:

I'm happy to announce the investment of a big amount of the humungous assets of the Makeshift Shuffle Association in making a snow rallye track next to Niederbipp, i could win famous rallye track designer Hans-Hermann Tilkenbichler, who lives just next door:

So watch out for Niederbipp, the locals will take back swiss racing out of the hands of corrupt investors and officials and bring it back to the people. :tup:

BTW, the bottomless french fries was just a trickery, they run out of fries after the 42nd replenishment order and had to admit defeat.

 

[watermelon punch]

So how's the gran turismo internets working today?

Racing scheduled, fingers crossed!

Unable to create a room.
Error 1265

 

[tarnheld]

Same as last Sunday! I'm out, this stinks.

 

[watermelon punch]

I opened a room.... We will see...

 

[Torzilla]

So no racing today?🤬

 

[watermelon punch]

Argh
Disconnected!



This since last week?!?!
Any word about wth is going on?
I haven't had time to look into it. Thought it'd be fixed by now.
Holiday weekend too... Pfft.

 

[Torzilla]

No idea about whats up with the network. I do know that iRacing is looking better every week though.

 

[watermelon punch]

It's highly disappointing.

There is a thread about this here:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt6-online-big-problems-in-weekends.342588/

Apparently we're not the only ones, and it seems to be mainly on the weekends. (I wouldn't know of course because I haven't had a chance to attempt racing during the weekdays.)
