Well, that's how they make buildings in China, they just use the minimum they can get their hands on. And it often results in nothing short of a catastrophe when there's an earthquake.

The big day's arrived...I just hope Hawk can drive OK despite having boiling coffee thrown in his face...

I'm sure someone will beat him up before then.

I'm officially backing out. Sorry.

Aw.

 

[Onboy123]

So yea, that's us lot out of it…I'll make an effort to stay up, but as I just passed out on my bed for 5 minutes, don't blame me if my car suddenly swerves into the other lane and wipes out…

Wow…nearly 2 hours to go…and I just wiped out in a 787B on Fuji's back straight going 240mph doing the new seasonals…Roj, don't blame me if when I turn up, the poor guy racing me goes home with a headlight from my S13 cuz I fell asleep…

240 km/h on SSR7 is a whole lot slower than 240 mph in Fuji

With a little bit of luck you can win while dozing off. 👍

 

[VTiRoj]

If anyone wants to come and play a little early, the lobby is up. The real thing still kicks off in an hour.

Also a little reminder for anyone like Onboy who thought it was 450PP.

What Car Do I Need?

A 400 to 420PP road car. Stick to normal cars like Impreza’s, Silvia’s, Civic’s and the like. Try not to bring a heavily detuned Ferrari 458.
Premium models only please, it makes the photo taking a lot easier.
No race cars.
No concept cars.
Tuner cars (Amuse, Spoon, etc) are okay.
You may use power limiters and ballast to keep the PP down if you want to use a car that has way more than 420PP stock.

What Mods Must I Have?

Comfort soft tyres at best. Smoke boosts ratings, so feel free to light ‘em up off the line.
Wheels and aero kits are encouraged if your car can have them and bright paint is fine. We’re street racing, so look the part basically. You don’t have to rice the car up, but don’t turn up with a stock car.

Other than that, it’s free reign with modifications as long as you’re under 420PP.

Well that was interesting to say the least! Sorry to everyone who couldn't make it and many apologies to those who made it but got locked out of the race due to black screens and what-not. I'll be sure to credit everyone regardless of if they were in the final race or not. Thanks guys! 👍

I glitched the ballast to 600, and I ended up fitting ~350hp on my SL

How? TELL MEH.

 

[Machate-man]

How? TELL MEH.

1. Get EPIC LAG (Netflix, Youtube, and iTunes downloads all running)
2. Open lobby or lounge
3. add ballast
4. cut power to PS3 without exiting ballast menu(Pull plug)
5. Hope it works


Not recommended for used PS3s over 2 years, or Fat PS3s over 2.5 years.

Err, there hasn't been other PS3s over 2 years, only Phat.

So that's why you were insanely fast!

 

[Michelin]

The first two shuffle races me and C-ZETA just changed place (he finished 1st and me 2nd in the 1st one, then I won and he finished 2nd on the 2nd one lol)
It's a shame that I got disconnected when I was dragging with S30...

 

[Machate-man]

I couldnt see that guy in the FC RX-7

L.A.G.

 

[S30Zenzow]

Yeah, my internet hasn't been working as it should for a few days, I think this explains the lag.
Today was a lot of fun, especially the fun racing after the drag. I'm really looking forward to the chapter.

 

[ozyran]

err, there hasn't been other ps3s over 2 years, only beautiful, gleaming works of art.

You owe me 4 hours of sleep, Roj! I ended up packing it in at 4AM cuz you didn't organize it properly and to everyone else, sorry for raging and swearing at you

 

[Machate-man]

Un-officially, I win

Should I tell everyone what happened the first time we raced? Hint: 'Sandbagging' was involved in the post race chatting

Un-officially, I win

And I come second, and Roj's rust bucket comes 3rd

 

[LtFunyun]

When you having a race with 600 pp or less. I have a g4 that has 597pp at 276hp, I've been wanting to race it online.

Oh, excuses, excuses!
I was running on 420pp, just with an extra 1000kg(read some posts back)

I was running 420PP as well, just with a low rev turbo on to make wheelspin launches look more spectacular. Mind you, the gearbox was a drag tuned one which tops out at 170MPH, so that was part of the reason why it was so relatively quick

You should be thanking me. Consider it training for when you become a college boy!

You with your drag settings. Shin's Mustang is powered by Hollywood magic.

Damn you! I was so tired today that I fell asleep on the back of a barely tamed horse! And the Hollywood magic is more like me pulling at the handbrake when I was reeling you in at 150mph...by the way, was there enough smoke?

Drink some Monster. No it's more like having people think the stock car is actually really tuned. I've not checked the replay but I assume there will be.

+1 there. Worst bit is I did it with a mic.

That's not the worse bit, worse bit is that my mum asked me if I stayed up last night cuz she heard someone swearing, very unmistakably swearing, down a micand I had a hard time keeping a straight face when I told her I slept at midnight cuz I thought of RJ's little voice spewing out swear words with my TV at a not-that-low volume oops...
