Mic i know Evan was talking to you about filling his shoes Monday night are you available?

No I won't be . . :(

As for the next few weeks, it's more likely I wont be available Mondays. I can probably join the room in the later evening to join in the post-race 'chill-out' races.

So Oni, if I am available for a proper race start, I will send you a msg on GTP telling you I can make it. You can then let me know if there's a spot I can take, and so on.

I should be able to msg you by thurs evening or Friday so there's plenty of notice.
 
Myself and Stig will take grey I guess. I havent consulted him on this , he's been living the F1 lifestyle pretty solid the last few days :) Hopefully our colour will bore the others to distraction !

Looking forward to tomorrows race.
 
I haven't spoken to Holland, but white is the only other colour not doubled up on so I guess if he has no problem with white that's what we'll take.

No problem mate. Thanks for letting me know in advance. I'll see if Jol is available.

Hi Oni, I'm down as a stand-in if the other guys can't make it :)

Cheers mate. You can stand in for Xerxs this monday night.

Won't be able to race tonight, really sorry mate. I'm sure a stand in will be happy to um... Stand in.

Hope it's not Madrid tonight, I think it's good to have a new track, bet everyone is practicing keeping of the walls

I'm praying that you all get Suzuka. I'm not a fan in the dry let alone in the wet. Hopefully the photos look great

Anyway have a great race tonight and catch you all at the end of the week.
Also bonson do the team proud I'll should be good for the rest of the season.

Hey Oni - juuust checkin tyre requirements, I'd be counted as a Tier2 and therefore - 1 set of Sports Softs, Unlimited Sports Mediums? :dunce:

Good luck for tonight lads :)

Yeah spot on mate.

Everyone will qualify on the sports mediums. Race starts on sports mediums and at the end of lap 5 tier 2 & 3 can change to sports softs if they choose. As a tier 2 driver you only have 1 set of sports softs so use them when you need them. It's totally up to your pit strategy. The last thing you want to happen is going out on sports softs then getting damage 2 laps after which wastes your softs.

Too right mate, I'd totally forgeten about the race tonight until 5 minutes ago :)
 
Am I the only one who feels un-prepared? We've got our first race in a few hours.. and I havent done any of the customary testing, tuning etc??? Wow.. feels strange!!!..

I'm with you :lol:

Hell, I haven't even driven the golf in GT5 at all! Not even in other random races.

Let alone knowing what the best pit strat would be haha, guess its all about who can guess the best on the night...

Annnnnd of course, tonight is the night my Playstation decides that internet problems would be the best.

Don't know if I'll make it. see how these problems go.
 
MATE.. team BB already taken Blue...:grumpy:
Are you perturbed Barbie? I'm not entirely sure but I think I posted for shotgunning blue in this thread first?
I don't think this color selection thing is that crazy important anyway.

Check the spread sheet ladies to find out your confirmed team colour. There will be double ups as there is no way to avoid it with recommended cars.

Qualifying will be open at 8:30pm (Sydney time) so in 40mins from now.

If you have any final questions then ask now. The room will have mics off to reduce any lag. There will be approx 4 people not able to make it this race so lag shouldn't be a problem. But i need EVERYONE to do the following each and everytime before entering my lounge on race nights. They are;

- Disable Media Server in the PS3 XMB
- Run a internet connection test to restore your NAT type (also to ensure a NAT type is there, as this causes incompatible errors)
- In the GT5 Options, Go to Network and clear your cache

Now the way qualifying is ran for those that are new to the series is simple.

- At 8:15pm i will open my lounge
- At 8:30pm qualifying will begin
- Qualifying is 30minutes
- Once the 30minutes are over you MUST NOT leave the track, if you do then you will forfeit your position and start from the back of the grid
- Once i give the okay for everyone to exit, we all will return to the lobby
- The grid positions will be typed out so remember your position
- We all go to track but DO NOT leave pit lane (this causes black screens of boredom)
- Once everyone is on we will begin the race (1st lap is formation lap)

Any questions? Just know that there are new people joining this series so the first race (inc warm up lap) maybe a bit messy

Annnnnnd there goes the net. was a matter of time really.

But that was MEGA fun :D:D:D:D

Sorry to anyone and pretty much everyone that I made contact with in that scrap that lasted for the best part of 8 laps, tried to be as clean as possible but that was some close racing.

Especially sorry to Mike, got pushed wide and blocked you coming back onto the track, heaps sorry for that pal.

Other than that, this format bloody works, can't wait for the rest of the season and when I get my net sorted.
 
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

DNF

aaaaand there goes my PS3:ouch:

Just as I was starting to recover from my earlier off track adventures!:ouch::ouch::ouch:

There was one corner I just couldn't get a hang of the braking point:dunce:

But jeez once I got onto those mediums I settled into a nice groove, caught Oni at the final chicane and was catching wilco69 and my PS3 decided that it had had enough:(

But damn I had fun, thanks to everyone and I apologise if I got to close to anyone.


Damn. Damn. Damn.
