Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen 

Thanks everyone! I thought it went well but didn't know it went that well. :)

About that BMW, I liked it! Seems I even got second on Brands Hatch with it which is cool, but that's probably mostly because so many crashed in that race. ^^
 
Thank you again for another detailed and very helpful response :D. The BMW is like everyone says fun to drive. It has better acceleration than the 2seater. However it steering is weird and it can be difficult to get it through tight closed in areas of a track. It definitely has what watermelon calls combo steer but its brakes also aren't very good either. It's acceleration allows you to get an early lead especially since a lot of the time if you get that car you will be closer to the front when you start.

Look at this poll about what questions you'd like asked of Taku Imasaki...
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/2-questions-to-taku-imasaki-poll-finished.297046/

The top #1 question is "livery editor". :rolleyes:

Which you know is not only wanted by people wanting to custom sticker their race cars, but also by peeps to put boobs & such on their cars, no doubt.

:lol:

I mean that got more votes than "community features" - which is the biggest thing of interest to me.
(Followed by shuffle and old tracks.)
But I mean of all the things you might be curious about with GT6 upcoming possible updates or DLC... seriously.
I think a loud minority :odd: votes in these polls! :crazy:
 
Okay thanks Swede.
Now I have to find instructions on how to load it into my ps3.


And yeah, BMW 507 doesn't brake well. This is true of most pre-1970 models in the lists, but particularly true of the BMW.
 
Shouldn't be too hard to copy to PS3, if you have a usb memory or something ^^ pretty straight forward stuff. :)

Also, livery editor is on my wishlist aswell, didn't pick community features because they are coming so soon anyway.. don't care one bit about sounds though. :P
 
I'm stuck at the part where - do I take it out of the folders? (it's unzipped but in folders)
I can't see it when I put my usb into the ps3. :confused:
 
You should put the ps3 folder with all the contents directly on the memory and then it should be easy to find and copy it to the drive.. i thikn :P actually haven't tried.. probably should do that. ^^

Edit: Yeah put the folder on your stick and then go in to Saved data utility and pick usb memory and copy. :)

How will low power cars AND vintage cars work? Will we have races that change between the two categories?

God, I have the worst timezone for these events, either being 2:30am or 3:00am.

When all else fails, read the directions on page 1?

It looks like they alternate.

Yeah I added in the info about the cars later...
The previous ones didn't need that.

But that will likely be the format for future series, in displaying the line-up info.

I wanted to give it a try Tuesday. :nervous: See how it works out.


I'm also planning to come up with 2 more lists of cars. Depending on how much help I can get testing.
Right now we're still testing the Luxury list...

And on that bombshell. ;)

I failed to load the Swede's replays too. :ouch: :grumpy: :mad:

It's determined not to let me view my favourite car - the Speciale @ Sarthe. :grumpy:

In the time I tried to load these replays twice (including having to wait for the ps3 to reboot, and go through system file checks :ill:), I paired 20 pairs of socks, folded a load of kitchen towels, pre-prepped tonight's dinner, fed cats lunch, unpacked the dishwasher machine, and made myself lunch... which I will now eat. :boggled:

Which gives an indication of how time consuming dealing with this replay 🤬 freeze nonsense is. :rolleyes:
(about an hour to just try to watch 2 replays, trying twice each!)
I hope PD is paying attention to all the PSN "error reports" being sent in from me the last few days. :boggled:

Look at all the Miatas!

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt12.jpg

Lots of hidden stripes revealed! :lol:

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt13.jpg


This is not the way you want to be looking at your competition! :ouch:

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt17.jpg


Oh no they're leaving without me!! :scared:

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt18.jpg


2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt19.jpg


Unknown to me at the time, my chances were improving, while others were suffering a race incident! :ouch:

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt20.jpg


My first clue that something unpleasant had occurred was finding @LeoStrop pointing the wrong way. :boggled:

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt22.jpg


And I had a very good vindication of my policy of not giving up, no matter the odds!
I was able to gain positions after all, and came out with 4 more points for the race than I thought would happen.

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt23.jpg


Others, of course, were not so fortunate since the incident occurred nearer to the end of the race than my spin.

2014-01-09-mmshuffledayt25.jpg

@Chiochan crosses the finish line in 1st place, with @HusamOne (green) & @John Wells (red) close behind!
 
I'm not looking very good either, but that have never stopped me. ;)

I probably won't make tomorrow.. but if I have time I'll check then if it's full and join if it's not.

I think I confused @HusamOne with me. His car looks like it was the same shade of green as mine
 
Also you can count me out for tomorrow. I have to write an essay. But I'll be there for Thursday. It's a shame that I'm going to miss the first makeshift shuffle using more than one set of car :(. Oh well there will be other multi set races.
 
:( I was hoping the replay issue might have been fixed in 1.03, but nah it's the same.. at least with the old replay files.
 
Whoever drives the blue Miata, it reminds me if a whale shark with the white stripe and big open "mouth".

Everybody make sure you give yourself plenty of time to dl the update, I am having some trouble with it resetting my PS3 before dl.

Well it looks like there wouldn't be too big a turn out today. :(
And I'm kind of having a bad day myself. (Not even 9am but already not a great day! :( )

If there's not many peeps ready & able to race today, perhaps we can just do some testing. ?

@TheConzio I would just get your beauty sleep today - and come Thursday.

I'm currently in the process of testing the Luxury Cars on Motegi East.

I would also like to test the following cars for possible inclusion in yet another list:

Toyota Tacoma X-Runner '04
Renaultsport Clio Renault Sport 2.0 16V '02
Mazda RX-8 Type E '03
Renault 5 Turbo '80
Alpine A110 1600S '73
Alfa Romeo Brera Sky Window 3.2 JTS Q4 '06
Land Rover Range Stormer Concept '04
Jaguar E-Type Coupe '61
Mazda Kusabi Concept '03
Lancia Stratos '73
DMC DeLorean S2 '04
Hommel Berlinette R/S Coupe '99
Lotus Elise '96
Fiat Coupe Turbo Plus '00
Volvo C30 R-Design '09
Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS '03
Ford Focus ST170 '03
Mini Cooper S '11
Mini COOPER S Countryman (R60) '11
VW New Beetle RSi '00
Mazda Savanna RX-7 Infini III (FC) '90
Dome ZERO '78 (added)

I haven't even bought this list of cars yet, but I'm planning on buying them today, and test driving them for lap times, to see how compatible they might be in a list.

And sorry about being called into work on your day off @Coreyb 👎 That totally stinks!!

But if it's any consolation, I envy your job! :guilty:
(For those who don't know, atm, I only have a seasonal job, and I'm not working in the winter... unless I can find something else soon - which hasn't been going so well. Thus the exams I've been taking. Which there will likely be no racing on Wednesdays for me the next couple of weeks, because I might have to take more exams the next few Wednesday afternoons, pending the scheduling allowed for those exams.)

SO OMG I need to do something to take my mind off my troubles! :ouch:
So I may get quite a few of these cars tested today. :lol:

:( I was hoping the replay issue might have been fixed in 1.03, but nah it's the same.. at least with the old replay files.
Did we get an update today?
I haven't turned on the ps3 yet today.
I usually don't turn it on until I've finished my chores. But if there's an update to load, maybe I should do that WHILE doing my chores.
But from what @Handlebar said it sounds tricky. :nervous:

On the bright side... I won the race at Autumn Ring Mini yesterday in the Elan races in Zero Cup series! :D
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/zero-cup-no-tuning-club.294976/page-5#post-9206242
I can't make that race every week (as it runs a bit past my usual allotted time)...
So there will often be room there in my place, and so I recommend getting on the reserve list. It's a good group of peeps and no-tuning spec racing. 👍 Some cool cars upcoming there - you can see the schedule in the OP.
Anyway, pretty happy that I was able to win a race with so many faster drivers in the race! So I just wanted to toot my horn here. :lol: :guilty: ;)
