Addition:

Guy's I haven't had time to join any race's, I get out of work 8PST by the time I'm home I don't see any open rooms. Hopefully I'll be able to join soon because those group picture's are So Drool!! :crazy:

Also when racing we should try doing some reverse order just to push people that are a little behind that would be interesting too!

I just have to say every-time I come back to GTP I get syked up!! we should try to continue and Possibly make a Gt Academy League with spec' race's this would be Insane!:cheers:

Happy Racing!!!

In the Coast Guard I had one rack on a ship that was only one small space away from our generators (constant loud hum/vibration) and another in the bow of a 110ft patrol boat that often saw seas of 8+ft in the Florida Straits in Winter. I learned to sleep through just about anything :crazy:

It needs to be dead quiet and fairly dark for me to get to sleep.

I was hoping someone would bring this up. I'd join.

When they are talking about Randoms, they mean just random people who join the room that we don't know and are not from GTP. I doubt they know what we're up to, they're just looking for a room to race in and most of the time (from my experience) they usually do more harm than good.

I guess I just assumed that the rooms were private/hidden and that unless you had the number you could not get it. That makes more sense on the trouble they are causing.

will you be posting while in SD?

Personal lounges are private and only open to people on your friends list. (This is what Wardez is setting up now) When you start a new public room (what they have been doing) anyone can get in through a simple search.

Probably not.

Also, use the multi-quote button instead of double posting. 👍

What i did was emailed Rich today just to make sure they had got my fax since the deadline was tomorrow i wanted to make sure so if not i could do it again. My advice just slip him a email he will email you back with in a hour, he emailed me back in like 5 minutes and said he was looking at my affidavid then. Then within 10 minutes i got another email asking about which airport would be best and what time, i will know rest tomorrow morning he said.

I talked to him Saturday about what airport and time but haven't heard back from him since. Maybe I'll shoot him email tomorrow also. I didn't wanna be a pain in the ass.
 
I'd say if you've gotten an email about the airport and time you should just be patient a little bit now. Travel arrangements for 32 people is fun haha. Like I've already looked into my possible flight travels and any airports around me I'm going to have to get on 2 different planes to get to san diego.
 
I've been talking to Rich today, I arranged it to get to the hotel around noon so I an head down to the Hard Rock to watch Racer Be crowned and hopefully meet some folks :D
 
LOL I arranged that I drive to the hotel since I'm in the area, I haven't gotten any details on whether I can get there earlier than usual though.
 
No, it's somewhere else. Remember also guys that we shouldn't talk to much about everything we're doing at this point. We can certainly PM each other, but foremost - just ask Rich.
 
Well, looks like I'm relegated to lapping by myself or no more than a few other people. Full rooms are insta-disconnect. Of course with how fast some people are I think I'm better off just learning to be fast on every course first, race later...I already have a solid base in racecraft, but you can't use racecraft if you're using a telescope to spot your opponents :P.
 
Just a thought, but maybe we should put a 10-12 people limit in the rooms. That's usually the maximum number we can go without any major issues. Anyone else that wants to race can open another lobby using the alternate account. Besides, my understanding is that during the actual finals, you guys will be split into groups of four, so having these big fields doesn't quite match what the actual conditions will be.

With that in mind, I'd be checking the fast laps spreadsheet to see what your pace is compared to the best. If you're not within 1-1.5 seconds of that, it may be better getting your pace up first. Otherwise, if you're stuck in a fast group, then you'll likely be left behind. I can already tell that with my skills, if there's more than two aliens in front of me, the best I can do is tag along, and that's assuming no mistakes.

Right, I'm at work now, added a whole lot of people to the accounts before I got here.

and yeah outlaw, I'm going to limit the room sizes to 14.
 
BTW, I will be uploading a few clips from the races onto YouTube. I'm already kicking myself for not saving some replays, like the battle for 1st yesterday at Rome. :dunce:

 
Would it be possible for me to be added to the lounge account to drive with you folks?

I am not in the finals, however I am always courteous and I'll be sure not to be in anyone's way. If necessary, I am sure there are a couple of people who could vouch for me.

I'm not adding 60+ people on PSN thanks xD

The instructions say "add these accounts" not "wait for requests from these accounts" 👍
