@MikaelK - Did you save the replay? If so, could you export it for me please? I'd be very interesting in comparing the two.

Yes, I did save the replay. Haven't seen it though, but will look at it, and export it, when I get home this evening...

Edit:
Have now exported the replay... And uploaded it to my dropbox... 54MB. Feel free to get it.

I did looked at it, and can see that your car indeed does look like it is getting a "push".
However, no cars where close to you. I can see, that I in fact was the car right behind you as it happened, but with a safe margin, and GTSail was behind me at that time.

So maybe just a greasy spot on the track??

Which version of Le Sarthe are we racing on this week?

It was the ghost Kamikaze!!

2013. Sorry, guess I didn't make that very clear in the OP. We will do time change so make sure to get some practice in the dark.

Oh sh#t

Oh sh#t

I've sent one of my minions across the pond to put black tape over your headlights.

Nvm, sorry, didn't read the post very closely

Nah, it was my bad, I forgot to spell it out in the OP. I've added a note to post 2 clarifying which versions of the tracks we'll be using. Sorry for any confusion. 👍

Noooooo! Don't tell me he's back? Please god no!

At least these cars have decent headlights.

LMFAO!!!! Don't worry....I was referring to the mysterious Japanese non-player shown on your results screen.

For 🤬 and giggles, what's everyone getting for lap times at la Sarthe?

Don't think I've managed a clean lap yet!

 

[BrandonW77]

I only did a few laps to get an idea of how many laps I needed to set the race for, I think I was just over 4 minutes but I didn't do any practice to see if I could shave anything off. I heavily rely on the draft on this track to get me where I need to be.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

At this point it certainly seems like GT6 has a lot more online issues than GT5 did and it's getting frustrating. Yesterday during race conditions I couldn't get within 2 seconds of my practice times and it felt like I was on used tires the whole race. Had the same thing happen today in the VCRC race, I was over 1 second off my practice times during the qualifier and never got close to those times during the race (without the help of the draft). 👎

Your perspective is shared with many folks. This is the reason Stamina has not returned and I remain retired.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 

[acedition333]

Race day tonight....

I think Marcus should come out of retirement and be the special guest tonight at la sarthe.

......Like this post if you'll be attending this evening. We need at least 6 to do a points race.

 

[TDZdave]

have I missed it?

 

[BrandonW77]

Room will be up in about 45 minutes.

 

[BrandonW77]

Room is up. Open qualifying will start at 8pm EST, if your a few minutes late you can still jump in.

 

[BrandonW77]

Great racing tonight fellas. Had a helluva battle with McChase and VDub for the whole race, we actually gave Saga a challenge for a couple laps.

 

[MC-Chase]

^Why's there always a mystery Japanese driver on your race results? And what is this '002' car he drives?

 

[BrandonW77]

I think that happens when someone starts the race but gets disconnected. Dubfire got DC'd after a few laps.

[BrandonW77]

^ Tease! I want cars like that back in the game!

By the way, congrats to @SagarisGTB for clinching the Tuesday Championship. If you show up Saturday you'll likely clinch it as well.

@Torzilla had a room open yesterday andi was pleased we were lapping within a few tenths of each other. That's before the eejits invaded the room and changed it all.

One thing I did find worrying was a glitch in the dark: in the first section, just coming onto the main 'straight' the sky went from pitch black to daylight blue, just for a second. Then back to black. Mildly disturbing to say the least!

 

[BrandonW77]

@Torzilla had a room open? I picture empty pizza boxes, posters of naked girls, beer Four Loko cans everywhere and a strong smell of reefer in the air.

 

[Torzilla]

First of all, I am wayyyyy better looking than that fatty, I play Les Paul guitars, not strats and I replaced the checkered flag guy with a couple strippers. Other than that you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I've always thought that flag man looked a bit.....ummmmm......fruity. Strippers FTW.

Oi! Stop giving our secrets away. What happens at La Sarthe stays at La Sarthe.

I'm not going to be able to look at a gravel trap in the same way ever.

I guess Torzilla neglected to tell you he was livestreaming it to his personal website.........we all saw the whole unmentionable thing.
