@danbojte ok find nice substitute for Isuzu, Nissan Silvia K's Dia Selection S13 '90Could you please chose a Premium car for that Event?
, and it seems you had a great day too 👍, and you squeezed right in front of @OdeFinn in the championship, congratulations my friend 
, nicely done. I feel bad for Ode, I haven't check the replay yet but in the first race something happened and he was out there building sand castles, and from the look of things they were pretty impressive castles 
, but I've been there more than most so my sad feelings were quickly forgotten by getting a podium . I was second and way in front of @RMan72 and I lost my concentration and starting driving as if I was carrying 12 dozen eggs 
, screwed up badly and the robot got passed me 
, managed to keep third but I could see Ode was catching up 
, yay the checkered flag came finally.
, wow dude that was great, I would have caved in much earlier, and you forced me to drive in the 1:09 for 2 or 3 laps in a row just to keep up 
. I also see you got 2nd place in the second race, , man what a change in pace sir, I'm going to have to start practicing a bit more if I want to keep up with you.
. ), kind of happy I won't be able to be there next week, with those 2 coming out with the knife between their teeth it's going to be difficult getting another podium .
.
Thank you, Francis, for the kind words for everybody. Yes, I did it surprisingly. 👍I think it was some great races for those 2nd tier drivers
I have to give @Thorin Cain a big 👍👍👍 for the first race, I was sure he was going to fail with three of us putting a lot of pressure on him for 5 laps, but he held on
@BadgerVadge , you did very well for the first time with us 👍, must of been something using CS with no ABS when you're not use to it, I hope you'll be able to join us again and help @Thorin Cain , @ALB123 , @Brewguy44 , @DaBomm4 and myself put a little pressure on those other 3, like Dan says "you never know what will happen",
I know @OdeFinn & @RMan72 would have liked to rewind some parts off the race, was a bad day for them but it happens to all of us (even though R2D2 finished second, there were some really shaky moments when he'd go off skidding, but man was he fast
It was a great exciting race and I loved every moment of it, hope to see you all soon again on the track
the I got a new slim PS3 which I cleaned every 6 months and never left for long when the weather is hot or very humid ( sometimes I used a desk fan to blow cool air when running )I think it was some great races for those 2nd tier drivers

I don't play any other games, so I don't know if I'd have problems with them or not Ridox. It's strange that I encountered the problem with Nordschleife at the same exact spot even after re-installing the game. I was going to do a system restore back to factory default but I don't see how that could be the problem. I'm not getting any issues with the PS3 itself. According to the things I've read, you really only need to go into Safe Mode and do a system reset if you're encountering issues with the system itself.
Oh well...I was thinking maybe this is my time to just bite the bullet and buy a PS4 and new steering wheel & pedals. I guess I could play pCars for now, while waiting for GT7. I'm actually leaning toward that direction...I'm just bummed because I prefer to drive street cars - not race cars - and pCars seems to be more of a straight up racing car game. But, maybe it would tide me over until GT7 comes along. Ugh...I don't know what I should do...
Try other game disc too if you can get them ( borrow ), sometimes the Bluray lens gets dirty and cause lock up and graphic corruption. If other games from disc suffer same issue, you can clean the lens if with good clean Bluray lens + another GT6 disc/cleaned good disc of yours + another HDD and cleaned PS3 internals, still the issue persist with PS3, then it might be console itself.
Thank you for all, my friend. If you have resolved the TV issue and you'd like to watch the replays, the link to them is at the bottom of the Event's post. 👍Wow, great races there from the report, congrats to winners and @Thorin Cain for improving
To win by a single point after winning the last race of the month must feel good. Well done my friend :tup: You've been a consistent podium finisher and have won plenty of races along the way. It's too bad I had to throw away my best chance of a win in that last race or you would have had the championship in the bag I tried to keep Dan behind me and just run my own pace but I just didn't have the rubber left to hold him off and overcooked the fronts going into turn 2 
I think it's safe to say he would have gotten passed anyway 👍 He did put in some great times to close the gap and apply the pressure 2x 2:08s and a 2:07 right at the end there On a positive note I did manage to make a nice sandcastle and get back on track to finish in front of you Only just mind you, I had to do a little fuel saving for the last lap and a half. I could see you chasing hard 
you didn't run anywhere near the amount of races as some others, but you made Dan and OdeFinn work hard for there places above you in the table 👍 Great job, keep pushing and I'm sure you'll be up there soon. And thanks for the BB tip too @RMan72 It worked out quite nicely That was a good little battle with us all so close for a while there in race 1 You get to learn new lines you've perhaps not used before and learn how the faster guys go faster....unless you chuck it in a sand pit in the first corner of course 
Let's keep pushing and hopefully soon we can be up mixing it with the big boys more often @Ridox2JZGTE and OdeFinn have covered everything I could suggest and a bit more:tup: I really hope you can get it sorted out soon my friend:tup:Thanks my friendcongrats to winners and @Thorin Cain for improving
Thank you, good friend. 👍

, that or a Lamborghini race, he's not going to miss that one.
Do you remember the races when you were on the third position far, very far, behind me and @OdeFinn and you still continued to race and didn't abandoned? I applauded your spirit and said that means a real fighter and not a quitter! Now, you can taste and smell the Victory! My hat's off to you! 👍

I do remember my friend, I do
And I thank you now as I did then But that disappointment went away pretty quick when I realised what had just happened :tup: The encouragement you both gave me at that time meant a lot 👍 And I owe you both (and Ridox and RMAN too) a lot for being there to give me something to work towards and for sharing your knowledge, experience and videos along the way You guys have as much to do with any improvements I've made, than I do, if not more
I did...That's what I mean - it's not registering the controller. And the controller is fully charged from the 6 hours it was plugged in 2 nights ago during the reinstall of GT6.
( with the driver + test equipment )
@danbojte and @OdeFinn, would it be possible to update the Dino tune for the race ? I have the weight data of an owner ( 246 GTS ) with the targa top fitted and GTS is about 20kg heavier than coupe GT, but the are variation anyway depending on the equipment fitted ( AC, audio, etc ). So the car weights at 2827 lbs / 1282kg with distribution at 42.5%/57.5% which is very accurate IMO as I also have references from R&T test 1972 246GT weight data tested at 3100 lbs / 1406kg
So, please if possible add ballast to max - 1280kg and distribution at 42.5/57.5, and hopefully it will still drives just as great
