MONACO MINI MADNESS II.

[trotterlover79]

Really enjoed the last mini madness race, im sad to see it finish. :-(

 

[jammyrex]

Indeed, great fun races were had with the classic minis! Thanks for organising this Ade.

I just watched the replay from race one. I must apologise to anyone who was following me, it looked like either my engine was blown or I was deploying a James bond style smokescreen behind me, there was that much smoke! Must have made it hard for anyone trying to hit their corner apexes with me ahead of them!

 

[Johnnypenso]

Really sorry I missed the race. Congrats to Dowlin on the double header:tup:👍

These races will be held in my private lobby at 8.00 pm GMT, so if your interested please post in here with your PSN and I will send you a Friend request. Any skill level welcome, just as long as your a clean racer.

This event is for FUN, which means there will be NO points and NO prizes. Bragging rights are all you will be racing for and to get your name on the Mini Madness wall of fame (if you win). The grid is going to be fairly full and some accidents are going to be unavoidable, but please try to keep your driving as clean as possible. That means NO punting, ramming or blocking on purpose. If you do cause a crash, or make someone else loose a position due to careless driving, you must slow down and let that driver back past. Any DIRTY driving will mean exclusion from any future MINI MADNESS events.

Before entering room please re-boot PS3, ensure PS3 date and time is set from the internet and clear cache.

Headsets are welcome, but if more than 12 drivers attend, please switch off during the race.

I think I should use the phrase "Why the bloody hell not"

Thanks for the invite Ade. My schedule is pretty erratic these days so you can put me down as a maybe. If the grid fills up before I can commit, just put me on a reserve list or something, no problem.

 

[Lonely_Looser]

Looks fun ... is it the Mini from the 90's ? if yes I'm in because I've got it lol, if not tell me where can I buy the Mini

 

[Cobani]

I'm in!

 

[Cpt. Disaster]

Me too. :-)

Yeah the classic Mini Cooper.

 

[GT Flaw]

I'm in, pretty sure I've got spare mini's if anyone needs one.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Thanks for the replies gents. Hopefully Carracer and Johnnypenso can fit it into their schedules. Still early days yet, and we have potentially 10 starters so far. I will host a few short race practice runs starting next week, with the main practice on Friday 8th November from 8.00pm.

The madness is back, I'm in mate.

I will dust my mini off tonight ready for its final event on GT5 👍

 

[CTR Driver]

Just one question. When you say throw all the upgrades at it, is aero and wheels allowed?

Dont think you can add aero Gary, and use any wheels you like.

13 racers registered now for this final chapter of Mini madness. The return to Monaco completes the circle and finishes Mini Madness on GT5. Gentlemen, this was such a blast the last time around, I had to bring it back for one final fling. Below is a revised Mini Madness Wall of Fame, listing every winner of every event. Its great to see some previous winners coming back to see if they can cement their name in Mini history one last time. Practice sessions will run all through next week. Race ya soon guys.

Darn! I wish I could make this, but I can't.
Hopefully there'll be another next time. 👍

 

[CTR Driver]

Looks almost like a full season of mini madness.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Mini Madness will be here at the end of the week, and the first practice session will be tomorrow at 8.30pm. Just a few spaces left on the grid for anyone else interested in this final chapter of Mini Madness on GT5.

 

[GTP_ADE]

Fun few laps tonight with Capt_D. First we ran 15 laps in free run to check times and tyre wear. Overall each race will take approx 30 mins, and tyre wear did factor in towards the end affecting lap times. We then ran 3 short races of 3, then 4, then 5 laps. Super close racing in each with some really close lap times. With a much fuller rid for Saturday, this really will be Mini Madness. Cant wait...

Lap times..

ADE3210...1:52.821
GTP_CAPT_D...1:52.891

Now for a nice pic.

Count me in providing my Norwegian countryside internet holds out!

 

[GTP_ADE]

Great to hear from You Cooper, its been a long time. I hope your internet holds out and you can join us on Saturday. Richyboy has messaged me to say he cant make it, but another addition is RJWALLIS90. Im not sure if I will have any time to run any laps tonight, but tomorrow I will be in my lobby from 8.30pm, and also Friday to get some more practice laps for this event.

Good to be back! Have been a bit up in the air this past year! I'll be quite rusty on Saturday!

 

[GTP_ADE]

You will soon pick it up again. Sports Soft this time around, and the car feels great. Edit to my above post, Ive got a free hour, so gonna get a few laps in with Weescotman.

 

[Turbo_snail]

What time would this be AEST, and if its a good time, I might do this, but anyone got a mini?

It may be a bit early for you mate. I make it 6.00 AM. But if your still interested I think that Geordie has a spare mini or 2.

Onto tonights laps with Will. Great few 4 lap races, and with some pointers on set up Will set the fastest lap so far. More practice tomorrow from 8.30 pm.
