4 cars left? haha, to be honest i'm not surprised, this is what i always see in organised GT5 online events. To be fair, not always everyone's fault, connection plays a big part.

Wow....


I just checked in on this race and I can't believe what it has turned into. I have to say, I would be furious at this point if I had actually formed my team, and trained for months, only to have it come down to just 4 teams in the race before even hitting the halfway mark. Also, more importantly, my other drivers who are not on GTP would be far more annoyed with me for wasting their time.... Kudos to all who stay in till the end, and "WTF!?!" to everyone else. After seeing how most of the teams have not taken this seriously and the miniscule amount of effort put into streaming it and screening the teams, I am infinitely pleased now that my team did not make it in. 👎 Everyone who HONESTLY put their time and BEST effort into this, deserves better than what it has become.

We in Green Hell Heathens are having a ball. Sure it's a bit quiet on the track, but it's still an experience racing for 24 hours. It's still worth every bit of lead up and preperation. I just feel sorry for the dedicated teams who would have loved a spot but missed out.
 
I stayed up with the Bandits throughout the night, I am feeling the tiredness, but im sure all the teams are feeling it 10x worse than I am.
 
Congratulation to everyone! That has been an incredible 24 hours! Sure we are dissapointed with only 4 cars on track at the end...sure we should have run qualification rounds... but the interest was so big that probably 300-500 people would have showed up for it. It would have been impossible to organised this year. To respect to the teams that were present it seems that some haven't read the rules posted 2 months before the event and explaining the whole thing... What can you do? No matter how many hours and days during several months on your own time you spend on this... still some people that will take a spot and won't take the challenge seriously... won't even try to help you...

Special thanks to Green Hell Heathens, Ring Bandits, Team Enduro, Shifted Racing Team for their understanding, sportsmanship and dedication. They gave their best without asking something in return. These guys are real drivers, they just love the pure challenge.

Thanks also for Team RE and Force GT. Sorry for you guys that you were disconnected within the first few laps. We should have put yellow flags on. Honestly we didn't expect all team to be disconnected except the host. Something we will need to plan...in 2013 Edition.

We are reading any constructive critics.

For other comments... really nothing we can do (grow up).

Spent some time in Luka's room, was great fun. Real cool guy who wanted to help and would have commentated well. Not sure what works was thinking by ignoring him :/

Sorry we had to many things going at the same time...Just so people can understand: we had 4 volonteers planned for the event and guest what: Only 1 showed up... Something to think of...14 teams were supposed to show up and guess what... 8 showed up. Our team manager left is role to suppervise the race so lap time were recorded and team informed during the whole race.
Our drivers were doing supports so other teams would have minimal tech support.

Sure we were understaffed... Seems that you can't rely on volonteer that much.

So we are sorry, if you generous people tried to help us and we simply didn't had the time to look at it.

You guys did all that with only 1 planned volunteer? Epic respect, so I guess u guys didn't sleep either?

Haters will always hate bro, if you had a HD stream of epic quality the trolls would still complain mate...

This could not be more true. Damn those pesky trolls. Trololololol-lol...

Again, thanks Demplar / Wurks for the event, and not kicking me out of the main chat even though I wasn't part of a team 👍 Also, apologies; I think I was the one that suggested that someone with HD stream capability join the lobby, then Luka offered, and it all snowballed from there.. :crazy:

Looking forward to the official write-up :)
 
do we send our write up to kurt or gt mag? and if it's to mag, how do i get in contact with the editor?
 
Just a quick word to thank everyone for their support. The spectators, the teams, team families, GT Planet, our few volonteers and anyone else I missed.

This event, although not perfect, was a complete success. Phase 1 has been accomplished. Now time for Phase II.

Here is the spot to brainstorm and suggest anything you think might add to the event. We already have our ideas down for the 2013 edition, but it can't do any harm to voice all your great ideas right here.

And no comments on the streaming please... that's already been covered (read: trolled) and has been duly noted by the guys at wurks no doubt.
 
I completely missed the event. If someone has the footage, is it possible to add some highlight video to the OP? I think a video montage or wrap up is in order to really add to the thread.

Love the graphs!! We can clearly see where we fell apart from sleep deprivation until Luke arrived, thank the gods he did too because that would have been nasty doing 24hrs with two drivers that had the 3am giggles at 1pm... Possible to do, but nasty :lol:
 
We've just completed the prize plaques. Nice and shiny. They will be sent to the winning teams this week.

Would have entered this if I could have got a team together... Will there be another one?
 
If there's another one I'd seriously consider doing it. The amount of work you guys put into this is amazing. Oh those plaques look great to.
