Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen

WarriusZero · Jan 25, 2014

I really enjoyed myself. The races were really tight and there was always someone to have a tight battle with. Deep Forest was quite something, Longbow had such speed in the exit of the last corner. I almost felt sorry you missed out on 2nd place for 9 thousands... :sly:

There were just 2 glitches with my driving, tonight, to my knowledge.
I cut turn 5 of lap 2 of Laguna Seca but I believe I didn't really gain from it. Happy to get the appropriate penalty, though.
Then in the last race, at some point I went too far inside, I probably went over the line with all wheels. When I realised it, I tried to go back to the right but I bumped another car a bit... the boss' car, obviously... :ill:

Sorry Watermelon! :nervous:

John Wells · Jan 25, 2014

Great racing ewveryone

Phouchg · Jan 25, 2014

Hah look at this ^^

Just after ryz hit me, both of the cars are pretty much stationary as you can see from all the others being really blurry

0.01 second later. ryz is back up to speed and way ahead of me, I'm pretty much going backwards (as seen by my very blurry car

)

Wow that really sucks

amarynceos · Jan 25, 2014

Had a lot of fun at today's races. Got my first win, huzzah! (Even if it was purely a matter of luck of the draw.... :dopey:

)

That last race was so hectic, though... even at such low speeds, three and four wide at Indy is a little bit nerve-jangling. I obviously don't learn too well sometimes; I kept trying the upper groove, even though it clearly didn't work... :lol:

Coreyb · Jan 25, 2014

If there's a race this Tuesday count me in. What cars are we using this Tuesday?

Really great racing tonight, had some great clean battles. Didn't really get up there in the points today but had fun anyway.

That last race though, watched the replay and yep it was ryzno who had crazy lag issues. once he even got a lead byt like 50 meters by lagbumping everyone behind ^^ Anyone who drove behind him was at risk of getting a head on collision with his car lagging backwards. Like me and like kling got in the last turn.

I guess i'll be also not in the points for podium ,like you today .
but had a lot of fun though

daddyo845 · Jan 25, 2014

We all like to perform well and get lots of points but lets all remember that it's more about having fun in the end

ryzno · Jan 25, 2014

Super sorry about the lag in the last race, but I had a brown out 2 times in the previos race. First 1 nothing cut off, second 1 my router cut off right at the end of the race. I should have reset everything but I didnt want to hold up the race.
Im sorry about my poor judgment Ill accept whatever penltys I deserve.

WarriusZero · Jan 25, 2014

Don't beat yourself up, these things happen...

daddyo845 · Jan 25, 2014

Oh warrius I forgot I still have to add you for those Dino races on Monday

Just part of racing!

The Move can, uhm..."Move" through the corners well. Doesn't quite have the top speed though.

Phouchg
Hah look at this ^^

Ouch. That's some G-force right there - forwards to backwards! I wondered what the heck happened. That's a shame...

Some excellent racing overall though!

watermelon punch · Jan 25, 2014

There have been no stewardship reviews requested or complaints lodged. So I'll get the results together as soon as I get to them.
I'm going to assume the race incidents in GVER & Indy SS were mainly lag incidents.

I know at the time I was kind of angry.. :lol:

Because in the Indy race I had no idea what happened except I heard a crashing sound & found myself knocked out. :ouch:

I assumed there was a big crash or something, and that whoever took me out suffered less & kept going. :lol:

And that everyone else involved recovered much better than me. :lol:

So I was all mad thinking who did that!?!?? :mad:

But that's odd. I thought I maybe saw a little lag in lap 1 turn 1 - but nothing after that.

Same in GVER... GTSail290 was in the Spitfire... and if he was the one lagging, then it was only a brief thing because I was behind him nearly the entire race, and I didn't see any lag.

Anyhow, PSN 👎 sometimes! :grumpy:

I had the setting at "high" by the way. I've tested it at Standard too. And then with more problems so...
I'm not convinced it's a huge difference.

LongbowX · Jan 26, 2014

That's refreshing, heh. I believe you asked me to review something though (you and johnwells), I think it was for London?

There was quite a bit lag for Indy, me and few others got taken out probably from chaos (lag-chaos perhaps) in a corner and had to bump-draft (with nomos and blob :cheers:

) for a few laps to catch up again. Not much to be done about that though...that last race is a bit of a crapshoot anyway.

For me, I say daddyo lag jump back a forth a few times in the GVE/Rev race.

Good to see you again, look forward to the races!

@Vaca_Noche
Good to see you here. Welcome to GTP!

For those who don't know... there have been several participants recently who have raced, but are not on GTP or maybe just don't post on GTP...
Such as blobbington, about-paper11, and nomos_gamma.
They've been regulars in GT5 shuffle rooms for a long time.
Well actually in the case of blobbington & nomos_gamma... I don't remember them much from my shuffle rooms, but my husband knows them from racing in shuffle rooms in the past. I think blobbington hosted shuffle rooms, IIRC... so that's kind of why I was hoping he'd sign up on GTP.
Anyhow some of the peeps who raced in my shuffle rooms have signed up on GTP now. Like @daddyo845 & @Coreyb.
I've tried to round people up.

I've not heard about Speedypenguin. That's someone that my husband shuffled with a lot, and sometimes joined my rooms on weekends. I don't know his exact PSN name because we didn't have him added... does anyone know if he's on GT6?

daddyo845 · Jan 26, 2014

I was lagging? Was it just GVER? I find this odd because I don't remember anyone saying I was lagging before. :boggled:

watermelon punch · Jan 26, 2014

I never saw the lagging... just at one point on GVER, I thought I saw a car in the sand on the left coming out of the tunnel, but then it wasn't there. I don't know what car it was or who it was. I saw this from the tunnel in the dark, looking out into the end of the tunnel... so I may have even been mistaken and maybe the car was never in the sand in the first place.
I was behind GTSail290 after that... and never saw any lag. I don't remember seeing daddyo845 in the GVER race at all to be honest.

At any rate, I was only able to load a few of the replays. :grumpy:

Oh yeah, my bump with @John Wells - it was the last chicane in the race at London I definitely heard contact - it was side-by-side, so I don't know what happened, I thought I was careful to stay up on the curb at the right and leave him room, but I don't know - at the time I thought it would work out. I did have overlap (pretty sure) before the turn into the chicane. I was in the boaty car though I think. (So I was concerned about a waggling Skyline back end - as they are prone to have that issue.)

Just so we're clear - I was concerned about MY movements being okay. I was NOT lodging a complaint about @John Wells !!

(OMG especially since I think I've bumped John in half the races this whole week!!)

Series 3, Event #1
Tuesday 21 January 2014
Willow Springs Streets

daddyo845 · Jan 26, 2014

Very nice

nomos gamma · Jan 26, 2014

Great stuff last night, lots of extremely close, clean racing. By the end I really loved the Be-1

I must say, the effort and care that's gone into making this series work is quite amazing - so massive thanks and appreciation to watermelon for getting this all together. In fact, if and when they ever do get shuffle back to GT6, I think you should absolutely carry on with this format 👍

watermelon punch · Jan 26, 2014

Oh I plan on continuing this even if they do introduce shuffle to GT6.
We did start running events like this a long time ago:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/vintage-sports-mixer-congrats-audiman2011-longbowx.279957/

So I've tried like heck to get things going with this.
But it was so much more bother in GT5
Because most cars were not so easily bought in teh dealership - you would have to wait to see them in UCD or OCD, and then gift them to people who were missing cars.
It was quite a pain.

But in a sense I think this is BETTER than shuffle, if only because you get to use your own cars.
But also because we CAN test them properly, and make sure there's no muscle car that someone's going to get on Monza with it hitting the limiter, or wind up in the Mini Marcos or Will at Daytona RC... or that sort of thing.
