Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen

[daddyo845]

Right so how many participants would we have? I might make it for tonight's session, and trying hard not to get the 3am start times to affect my sleeping pattern so much.

Yeah I completely understand I know it's fun but don't let it mess up your sleeping patterns

 

[daddyo845]

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

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!
(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!
So I may get quite a few of these cars tested today.


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.

On the bright side... I won the race at Autumn Ring Mini yesterday in the Elan races in Zero Cup series!
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.

Congrats I could test those cars but today won't be a good day to do testing

Well not for you, I meant for me lol - or anyone else who might want to spend a little time test driving cars today, if available.
But you can test them whenever you have time to. 👍 (You don't need me there. lol)

 

[Phouchg]

It's a small update so don't think you'd need to do it during chores.. I did.. and I still haven't done my chores.. or written that little essay I was supposed to write a long time ago....... sooo I will probably not help testing today either.

 

[KingKlingeling]

I'm in this evening , I don't even know what else I should do on tuesday evenings since gt6 and especially makeshift shuffle opend the door for some great racing with People who know how to race !

Either racing , or if we only a few People today , Time trialing .
I'm in.

That's always a risk.

 

[watermelon punch]

Whoever drives the blue Miata, it reminds me if a whale shark with the white stripe and big open "mouth".

 

[daddyo845]

Jabber jaw nice

 

[LeoStrop]

Not sure if i will race today, i have a couple of things to do so don't wait for me.

Have a great race!

 

[Chiochan]

That's it! I am getting the lineup ready. Crack that can of gold poly boys...

 

[watermelon punch]

Got a room open for testing.

Right now @Chiochan is driving the Renault with the independently turning wheels .
I swear that Renault 5 Turbo drives like an IV drip stand.

 

[watermelon punch]

If we get 8 we'll do the race event.
will post # if that's going to happen

 

[Phouchg]

By the way, didn't the news say they fixed the tyrewidth issue in this update? Does that mean we can change wheels on the luxury cars now?

 

[watermelon punch]

1472 6399 8665 9407 9909

 

[daddyo845]

I sure hope. I want to paint my wheels on my luxury car. Could you maybe take a look at that in the lobby that you have now. If not then we can try again another time. I won't be able to check it because I won't be there today

 

[gazleton]

I'd like to put my name forward for Saturday 18th. As I said earlier in the thread I am new to online racing and don't know if I'm one of the new drivers who caused problems on Saturday's vintage races. If I was one of the culprits I would like to be told as I think it's the only way to learn. I've treated myself to a keyboard to use on PS3 so I can use the in game message service easier than using the controls on the wheel. I've re-read first page and understand the rules now. look forward to Saturday.

I didn't notice and I didn't look.
Does anyone else know?

 

[Handlebar]

Under News/Updates:

Just the Toyota FT-1 Concept and the interior of the BMW Coupe.

So... New bling? Check!

Fixing problems? Uh.... 👎👎

 

[daddyo845]

Well the ft1 looks cool but I'd rather have bug fixes. So the rims weren't fixed @Handlebar?

 

[LongbowX]

It says on the main page, and in a few threads that the whee; width issue is fixed.

• "Fitting custom wheels now preserves the original tyre widths."

 

[daddyo845]

Cool thanks longbow

 

[Phouchg]

Yeah that was what I meant, was just to lazy to provide a link. Anyone tested it?

 

[LongbowX]

Visually the tires look as they are supposed to. Reports on the forum have said cars feel better
(as they should be). I have not tested it while actually driving it yet, no....

 

[daddyo845]

I wasn't on at all today so I can't have an opinion on this matter.

Yeah I hadn't gotten around to the blog yet, thanks. 👍

 

[watermelon punch]

No coffee rings yet.

 

[moeom]

Alright MMS Racers, Ratings is update with 11th January's results. Today's results will only be added once the standing are finalized by watermelonpunch.

 

[daddyo845]

Nice putting that massive glt estate behind that beautiful Japanese car.

 

[Phouchg]

Ah beautiful cars Melon Was fun battling on London with me in the skyline and Kling in the Volvo. Got a bit bumpy though.. Kling struggled a bit with keeping track of how large that Volvo really is.

 

[daddyo845]

I knew the size of the Volvo was going to be a problem .
