yw, should be in your inbox.

edit:

oh, and sorry gumball, you're GTR will have to wait until my daily limit rolls over again.
I hoped I could be clever and just change the time zone to Sydney to get on the other side of the date-line and send tomorrows gift today... but they're wise to that. ;)

No problem man! Plus we should get our GTA 2012 cars in a little over an hour now I think so we should all be good to go.

Got my travel stuff today as well. Looks like I'll depart at 11:20am and get there around 2:00pm. Hopefully I can check out the Racer X competition pending on what they have planned for us.
 
I think someone mentioned it but I reckon I didn't fully understand it until I tried it. Thought the friend account would have to be online for another to open the lounge but that appears to be incorrect. Just fired up one of them and it seems to run even if the account isn't actively signed in. That's a nice feature.

Think I'll take the new Leaf out for spin.

Wardez,

Did you set these accounts so their lounges had mics off?

Is anyone using the private lounges?
Every time I check them they are empty.

I think they may look empty but sometimes you have to hop in and check. I got thrown off by this a while back.
 
Putting around in #2 bailed.

Dunno if Outlaw wants to put this in the practice sheet or not since you all will likely best it by 2-4 seconds but Suzuka Circuit East Course/Fairlady Z (Z34) '08/58.962

I've noticed that there are a few tracks people are staying away from (Spa, Cape Ring Periphery, Top Gear Test Track, Autumn Ring Normal, High Speed Ring). I know it's improbable that these tracks will be used, especially Top Gear Test Track, but it's not impossible. They used the reverse tracks last year, and not many people expected that. All I'm saying is don't assume these tracks will go unused, they may be unexpected, but that's the whole point of surprise.
 
Currently, I'm all alone in the private lounge if anyone wants to join. I still don't have any of the GTA cars so I'll be running the S15, Z33, Z34, R34, R35.

Looks like we might be on the same flight Gumball-
I'll be the guy eyeballing everyone like there my competition:lol:
 
I know everyone wants to go watch the Racer X competition, but I'm not sure that will be entirely possible. If we are staying at the location mentioned on another thread, I'm not sure they'll be shuttling everyone to-and-fro whenever we want. Also, I'd imagine they have our days pretty much set for us, and if they say we're doing something I imagine they'll wait until they can take everyone in one trip, and they probably don't want us taking our own cabs or anything like that.

I can have one of those GTA cars to you as soon as I get a FR.

Be eating dinner soon so might be a few minutes before I send it.

Just got your FR. Backing up. Which car you want?

370 Sent. Enjoy.

I left the private lobby and jumped into the public room [the post after mine with all the numbers]. I ran around Madrid/Rev in an R34 for 30 minutes and no one else showed up :(

Thanks mate! I'll add you soon.
 
With my 2,591st connection setup, I'm in the lounge atm. :lol:

If it holds, I'll probably stick around all night since fireworks will likely be out of the question. The ONE day it actually rains in Vegas, it just HAS to be on the 4th of July. :grumpy:
 
Everyone left the room... Am I the only one here who would rather practice than see fireworks? :lol:

Had to reset the room, new number: 1472 - 6684 - 3115 - 0604 - 2713

Haha if you are flying out of PDX on Alaska then we are! And I see you ride as long as that's you in your avy. I ride too! Was up at Mountain View yesterday.
 
Do you guys race with the clutch? I just tried the G27 and it seems like it would slow you down.

No, mainly because at the National Finals we'll only use paddle.

On a side note, am I the only one who imagines the Super Friends narrator every time I see National Finals? Just seems appropriate to me, obscure I know... I'll shut up now.

I used mine in a race the other day just for fun. Was a second to two seconds slower a lap. Slower and missed shifts slow you down a ton, my heel toe was in point though haha.
