@Cold Warrior I'll switch my Gr.4 to the Genesis Gr.4 if that's alright! Did some more testing and I think it's good to go. I'll try to be in for the race on the 6th, hope to see everyone there!

The switch has been made. I hope to see Saturday.

The switch has been made. I hope to see Saturday.

Sorry to bother you again last minute, but I've just realized how irritating the downward-angled rear view cam on the Genesis is.

If possible, I'd like to switch over to the SLS AMG at Gr.4, and I promise you that'll be the final change! Other than that, looking good for Saturday!

Sorry again for all these car switches!

I would remind to report possible rule violations of your fellow drivers in private after the race. Doing so will help you me keep the league as fair for everyone as possible.

I can't possibly watch everyone myself during our races. And I'm not enough masochist to watch in detail every single lap of everyone's race in the replay.

You can either make reports by a PSN message or starting GT Planet private conversation with me.

Glad I took all my penalties on time. I got a bunch of track cutting penalties on this track but couldn't figure out which corner I was doing it on. Sometime I would cut a corner and be absolutely sure I was getting penalized but no, nothing happened. Then when I wouldn't expect a penalty, I would get one. Oh well.

I had one wreck that I spent 30 seconds and a lot of tire spinning in the dirt trying to get back on track. Had I not done that, I think Cold Warrior and I would have had a lot closer race!

That was one grueling race! My shoulders were sore the next day!

I made few mistakes too. Two of which involved an off road experience. I also wonder if I may have flat spotted my tires during my 2nd stint. The cars handling got really weird after my one mistake that race. Though I've ever been 100% if you can flat spot your tires in GTS or not. I do know wheel spin will do extra tire damage.

If you think this place was grueling. Just wait until we get to Northern Isle in July. I had to make it a 90 minute timed because we will easily surpass Gran Turismo's 200 lap limit. I estimated it to about 375 laps in an 90 minute race with the Gr.3.

I got lucky and managed not to beach my car for the entire race, not sure how that happened.

Impressive. I didn't go off-track either, but my pace was much slower than yours and you were actually fighting for the win. Had to be quite stressful!

At one point mid-race I was 30 seconds behind 3rd place, and 30 seconds ahead of 5th place, so I could cruise around somewhat cautiously. But this track still took a really concentrated focus to stay on it. I never liked this track before and didn't spend much time on it until I started practicing for this race. Now, while I still wouldn't call it one of my favorites, I do kind of actually like it.

I like that we're running on tracks like this one and Northern Isle that don't come up much on sport mode. It's a chance to really get to know them and have some fun with them. With Northern Isle, contrary to Streets of Willow, I really like that track going into this (yes, I am a NASCAR fan and love Bristol races). However, after 375 dizzying laps there, I might change my mind .

 

[Cold Warrior]

Have reviewed the reported violation.

John_YDG -2 points penalty for Ignoring an in Race Penalty.

Daylight Savings Time is now in force for most of the US and Canada. If your area has changed yet or doesn't Practice Daylight Savings then our races will start 1 hours earlier for you.

If what I found on internet is correct. It seems Daylight Savings for most of Europe doesn't start time until March 28th. So that should take care of things problems before our next race on April 17th.

I'll be out for the next race. Hope to see you all in May.

Just to make sure your aware. The April race is on 17th not the 3rd. I'm not hosting on holiday weekends after last year's 4th of July disaster.

If you mean you're unavailable April 17th. Then we'll see you May at Goodwood with the Gr.4 class.

 

[Racer283]

I'm not available on April 17th.
