Do we all have to take photos??

No mate just one of each group.

 

[NITROVIOUS]

might be a good idea to have 2 photographers per lobby could come in handy

femki i sent you psn friend request

 

[THE HOG]

ok thanks mate you it is, so if there is any problems await rabiaEX's invite

 

[NC_2_VA]

I could aslo host if need be.

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

I will only race the two first races. Have not bin able to fix my save file so can only race manufactor race. See you later guys 👍

 

[NC_2_VA]

I think it would also be a good idea to start a chat room on psn. Everyone could join that room and it may make it a little easier to get everyone in the game in the 2 min window.

Yeah, I had never done that before, always just sent messages. Much better way to communicate if you don't have a mic.

 

[TsukubaTrueno]

****, guys. I won't be able to attend the race! 🤬!!

 

[THE HOG]

[THE HOG]

[MannyMoenjack]

Sorry, to hear that. Is this a permanent racing ban, or one week only?

HOG, I'll back you up on the hosting duties since Tsukuba is out for tonight.

For people who type more than 5 words a minute. I'll see if I can't steal my son's USB keyboard maybe that'll help my Chat impediment.

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

1 hour to go right??

I have only tier 1 so can not do warm up . And remember guys the race is not won in first corner, good luck guys

 

[darkos]

I'm very exited to race at Nordschleife, this is the race I've been waiting for. Weeks of hosting races, weeks of learning the track and a long the way there was Time Trial World Tour Competition which shocked me with the rules but i think that already show how fast man can be in green hell. And now it's come to this one race. Ohh I'm exited 👍

God luck you guys in second lobby.

Errumm... I'm rather glad I'm in the second lobby.

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

Thanks for the racing guys! Good fun 👍 I hear you guys very low in the headset..when I raced I could not hear you.

As some of you may have noticed I love the ring

If its manufactor race next time I will join 👍

 

[Jamie-C]

WTF is up with some people, I was rammed of the track about 6 times! Twice by Kemp when I cleanly overtook him, if thats the way its going to be count me out from now on!

Thanks to the ones who raced cleanly!

I think alot have to do with the fact that you cant look left or right with a wheel. I dont think I pushed any off track(sorry if I did), but I got pushed of a couple times, no hard feelings,, Close racing is much harder in shift then gt5p IMO...

It is never on purpose with these guys, in shift it is hard to detect if you have touched someone especially during two abreast in the corners, and with the wheel users you cant see left or right

 

[THE HOG]

Great racing people the first two races were excellent happy with the result but the third race had me a bit annoyed.

i think some people need to remember why we race this league because we want clean racing, but some people were not giving others enuf room and causing what we had on the 1st lap of brands hatch on the second corner i got took out like 4 times in a row no one wanted to give anyone any room to brake for the corner so everyone just piled into each other and i came into the madness from at the back of the pack and ended up last or second last.

But other than that the 1st 2 races were great manny nitro great racing guys i had to concentrate so hard on the ring and Glendale, i dont know how you guys can chat away and still drive so good if i dont give it 100% concentration i am all over the track

Yea but a couple of times I was directly in front of them! I usually don't mind but got pissed of tonight as it happened loads, so I quit the race and came and left an angry comment

Whenever I spin people out I slow down and let them get back in front, not floor it and leave you facing the wrong way like a dick!

Enjoyed the ring race because I didn't get spun off, actually thought I could've won that until you came and left me standing last two , didn't stand a chance due to being spun, might as well have raced in a Public lobby

 

[Aldo]

Well tonight went OK... Kind of!
Our first effort at the Nurb went badly as everyone d/c
My Nurb race was going alright until I spun, got 8 seconds behind, and then got further behind whilst trying to close the gap due to scrappy driving.
The Glendale race was alright, I got taken out by Femki but no hard feelings mate 👍
The Brands Hatch race went alright for me as I got a podium, thanks to Femki for binning it into the wall on the last lap
I have got photos of teh results on my phone and will post them up tomorrow morning if noone beats me to it.
Although, for the Nurb race, I managed to take a photo when it was at the cars name and best lap by accident So remember your results from there, I was last for definite.
Overall, another tremendously fun night and the chat room worked well! Thanks guys

Yeah I agree, if you push someone off track then wait! Thats the least you can do. We meet here to race clean 👍 atleast thats my main goal

yea that happened to me 2, i got span off and left facing the wall while they floored it, i always wait that's the point in fair racing if i spin someone or are partly to blame for a crash i always let them past or at least slow down and let them on my tail.
But that's just the way it is accidents happen maybe it should be made a clear rule that if you pin some one you must slow down as in a real race you would be penalised.

In addition to what SteveO & mr_V said, the lag time problem sometimes limits how accurately Shift can position the cars on the track. I know I've bumped people who looked like they were 2 or 3 car lengths away from me.

Again I'd like to reiterate how important it is to use a mic. These kind of misunderstandings get blown all out of proportion when you can't hear the other guy apologize.

I got the photos loaded already Aldo. I'll post them ASAP.
