Need For Speed: Shift GTP Racing League - Season III

[MannyMoenjack]

very good races last night!.. i'm not fast but now i can fight to enjoy!

I appreciate very much MannyMoenjack's sportivity:
He unintentionnaly pushed me out and in the next corner
give back me the position.. gentlemen 👍

Thanks Ris! I was very impressed with you car control. You are a good driver and an excellent addition to the League. 👍

Also a word out to Manny for the MAGNIFICIENT choice of combos for this week.👍 The M3 E92 is very handy with a very realist handle for SHIF(T) parameters,and the LEXUS is a very manageable supercar even in Willow Springs GP.

Yes, those choices seemed to work out pretty well didn't they? Both races were a lot of fun.

Lefty is the undisputed master of Willow Springs in the E92 without a doubt. I felt a real sense of accomplishment to finish 2nd behind him only 12 seconds behind! Good racing last night Lefty. 👍

The accidental Murcielago race Autopolis last night was hysterically funny. More than half the group driving right off the track on the first corner. At least at London River tonight we'll be limited in how far we can slide off the track by the buildings!

The beginning of the London River race is probably going to be a massive pile-up. So be prepared. Once the race order shakes out a bit it'll probably be very enjoyable.

Same again this week for me. If I make it back in time, invite me. If I'm not online, don't worry about it.
Thanks

Thefast1: The race will be fantastic the lambo mercy and london river are meant to go together

Yes like apple pie and pickled onions you psycho. I knew you'd like that race anything will the slightest sense of utter chaos and your buzzing.

Manny: Lefty is the undisputed masterof Willow Springs in the E92 without a doubt.

Chapers is also very quick on Willow but remember guys I'll be chasing.

I was also impressed with Ris. You'll have lots a great times racing the guys on here, I know I have.

And lefty sorry about last night man I think I made contact with you 19 times. (Not that I was counting or anything)

If anybody ever needs a ego check try racing Nitrovious in a Lambo at London River

 

[RickyRacer]

Anybody notice since the download that some friends aren't available with the R3 button? It will show them racing on the message page but nothing with the R3 button I invited one of my favorite racing buddies to race last night 5 times in a row and he said he never got the invite, but when he invited me I got the invite. I wonder if it has anything to do with exotic DLC?

Yes NIROVIOUS has got the Lambo/e-brake drifting thing down to an art form. He was always faster than me in anything tunable. I feel happy to have broken my London River record time with the Merc. Actually, somewhat surprised! I ran 1:11.3x in several laps after adjusting my Lambo tune a bit, which was almost a second better than my Zonda time. I wonder if it has anything to do with the recent patch?

Yes, we experienced some wierd things like that all last night. I think kemp's post above expresses the frustration we all had in trying to invite each other to race.



Edit: On a different topic... has anyone seen power5567 lately? He was in the League for Season 2, but I haven't seen anything of him for Season 3.

 

[LeftyWright69]

It almost feels like the good old days when I had a fan. LOL...........

i cant help my self.

If anybody ever needs a ego check try racing Nitrovious in a Lambo at London River

he is who i learned to drive the lambo from i was going off track every 5 Min's untill i raced nitrovirus at silver stone i think it was he could really get that thing side ways but yet still keep the momentum of the car up along with the speed that's when i realized who this car needs to be driven.

tonight at london river will be tuff for me my accelerator pedal is spiking like hell now and i dont have time to fix it so feathering the throttle is going to be a nightmare 👎

Manny: a different topic... has anyone seen power5567lately? He was in the League for Season 2, but I haven't seen anything of him for Season 3.

Funny you should say that Manny. I was messing on my pc the other day and my keyboard/mouse is also linked to PS3 (wireless) which was also switched on.
After finishing on my pc I went back on the PS3 to find my inbox was empty and messages deleted displayed I checked friends ect and nothing seemed to be missing. But just gone onto my friends list and power is not there.
So have I deleted him?
Has anyone else lost him off there list?

Power 5567 Pm'ed me and said his PS3 failed. He said he would try to be back up to speed by next weekend.


EDIT:

Yeah. It would be good if someone from Group A, joined Group C, but it's not critical. It would just make things even.

 

[BRP17]

What tracks are you guys racing?

 

[MannyMoenjack]

What tracks are you guys racing?

Our schedule (cars & tracks) are posted at the top of Page 1 of this thread.

 

[addictions]

Ok I've looked at the point table and if we keep the lobby's how they are it shouldn't make any difference if anything it should even the points out a little. Right i'm off to race. Good luck guys...

 

[treky]

I want to to change group. Because arvore does not have my in his friends list. He's full

 

[arvore]

I 🤬 LOVE EA




👎

 

[treky]

I guessing some one had problems with reading. Anyway i did not to race tonight either.

When i host a race then Manny, kemp, and Shamalert did get into my lobby but they don't want to repeat that when i did not get invites from them.

I'm in for race in sunday night.

 

[MannyMoenjack]

A disaster with the EA server and connection problems tonight. My apologies to arvore and treky who both got left out.

Treky, I got your first invite (I raced a 1 lapper in your lobby), but I never recieved any of your invites after that. For unknown reasons, most of the League members no longer "light-up" in EA Messenger, and although I used to be able to send them Race Invites anyway, they no longer seem to recieve them. And I am not the only one. I know Javed and kemp were sending invites as well, but arvore and treky didn't recieve them.

I don't know if this has something to do with the DLC or with the 1.03 Patch, but the kind of frustration generated tonight was more than anyone can put up with for long. We can't expect the League to be able to hold together when half the people can't invite the other half to race!

The racing in our Group B was between 3 of us... the races themselves were fun, but would have been much better with 5 or 6 people.

I guessing some one had problems with reading.

Treky, it wasn't a lack of reading that caused the problems we had tonight. We did the best we could to get you into the lobby. Sorry.

 

[arvore]

I guessing some one had problems with reading. .

What exactly do you mean with this...?

 

[thefast1]

well we had a pritty good race tonight.

The final race was unbelievable I was a bit sick that I was not in a bigger lobby for the last race at london river as I thought the video would be crap but how wrong was I me and muhamu made some dam good footage between each other, every thing from drifting to with in an inch of the walls and rear bumpers to racing side by side through corners with no contact.

We even had a game of chicken down the long straight which I won

top racing tonight muhamu and sorry for that rear smack coming off the 1st straight I locked the brakes and rammed you sorry mate.

There's no problem mate, it didn't change the ranking!
Yes, there were not much player in our lobby but we had really good races with thefast1, mainly in 1st and 2nd races. The last lap on Willow Springs was crazy, we had centimeters from each other at about 160Km/h while we were drifting. It was fun!
on the second race something happend in the first few corners, i hope we will see it on Hog's video...👍
I've recorded the races too, now finaly in hood view (for those who had right about how much more fun is it to drive from that angle), I'll post them on monday maybe on thuesday.

OK Chaperz set up our lobby but we couldn't get shark in all of us tried but no joy. As back up host Chaperz asked me to try so I set up a private manufacturer's race exotic & team disabled and sent out the invites still no illuminated shark on my list and still no shark in the lobby. I asked shark if we was visible to him and we was so I got him to host then Chaperz couldn't get in didn't disable exotic & team do you shark lol so we eventually got racing without 1 DC all night.

Race 1 was terrible compared to last nights practice but I think everyone of us beat someones time that was posted here the other day lol I had 3 really quick guys in my lobby and knew even if I did as well as in practice I was finishing last. But I never because Ris made more mistakes then me so I was 2nd from last.

Race 2 was fun again not as good in practice but still a fun race I got really close to Ris on the last few laps proper breathing down his neck but he wouldn't break. Well done Ris nice run there.
(Also someone reset themselves after going off track don't know who till I play it back)

Race 3 I may of well just sat on a corner and watched the contact was wild. My camera was full so I did'nt get the results (please post them) twice I got it wrong through the chicain and both times tried to take me on the inside of the big drift corner and took me out and not stoping. He also reset afrer hitting a plastic block. We had a chat and I explained a few thing to him so I don't think the same sort of thing will happen again. (And he can keep his position)
Also witnessed someone go hammering down the straight and not even attempting to brake taking Lefty clean out. I know this because I was following that green Lambo.

But I'd like to say well done to Chaperz. (keep winning like this and you'll find your cars clamped)
Well done to Lefty on races 1&2.
And Ris for giving me the closest bit of racing all night.

AND WOULD LIKE TO STATE. RESET BUTTON ISN'T FOR YOU TO USE ON YOUR OWN MISTAKES.
Have any of you read the rules?

=KICKASS

Hey uk people don't forget to put your clock forward 1 hour.
PLEASE POST YOUR RACE 3 RESULTS OR PM ME.

1st Chaperz + FL
2nd Risotto76
3rd Shark
4th Lefty
5thaddictions

 

[thefast1]

yea and I would like to remind people that when you hit some one and take them out stop and give back the position back Its stated clearly in the rules.

I would also add that punting people off the track will only be let go for so long any one found to be punting people off the track on a regular basis will be told to leave the league and practice untill they are better.
Any one found to be punting people off the track and NOT STOPPING will be asked to leave and not return to the league.

We have these rules for a reason and that is to keep things clean and although we have had our incidents in the past seasons the rules have worked well so make sure every one is 100% clear on the rules.

 

[MannyMoenjack]

Here are the results and times from Group B (such as it was)...

Race 1: Kemp nearly caught me this race, but I ran without a major mistake for once on this track, although with slow times.

Race 2: I had all sorts of trouble with race 2. I don't know why as I did alright last night. A lot of mistakes by me and a good job by Javed to hold off a very hard charging kemp.

Race 3: This was my best race. With some added downforce and adjusted brake balance the Lambo really rocked London River this time...
