Are you stupid?

Nope. I don't need 8 attempts to get within the track lines, so does he right? To ace the corner perfectly will take more attemps of course.

That's what practice is all about. I'm sure he isn't taking that line deliberately, some people struggle on certain corners and its obviously taking him a while to ace it, your whining as if its the race, its ****ing practice!

Still no reason for corner cutting or other inappropriate behaviour.

If Chris thought that was part of the track then he didn't know any better and thats fine with me. Good thing i brought it up because it's most likely he had done the same tomorrow. Now everybody knows the rules as it comes to eau rouge so we don't have this discussion after the actual race itself.

I'm able to join practise tonight up to 19:30 GMT. Maybe i'll join if the lobby opens early.

I've raced Chris for ages and he is 100% fair and clean and doesn't cheat.

First off. I'm going to tell you to remove the pic. And that's not a request, but an order.
An order :lol::lol:

The event is today, so it is a bit late to join. However, if you can show up at 18.30 GMT, and show me that you're a clean and fair driver, then I'll allow you in.

Decent grammar and proper usage of capital letters are expected at all times guys.
It's all written down here in the Acceptable Use Policy.
Please keep it in mind for your future posts.

Starbutt, New York (the one in New York State, USA, not Lincolnshire, England) is five hours behind GMT, which we are using for this race. The lobby will be open at 1:30pm your time, for the race to commence at 2:30pm. There will be an enormous crash at 2:30.07secs as everybody tries to win the race at the first corner :rolleyes: and once we have all cleared Eau Rouge on the first lap we'll be away. :)

The available cars are the ones on the list, but if you're good enough to be putting in laps of about 2:37 in the DB9 then you should really pick one of the others for the sake of tight racing.

Good luck with it, Z.
 
Can we have confirmation now of how the qualify is going to happen?

If its anything like last time I wont be hanging around, I have things to do and cant waste an hour sitting watching 10 people do 2 laps.

Qualifying will simply be the free run before the race.

It's funny cause it's true

Psyched for the race!!

To update my car, I will be using an alfa romeo 8c. However much I love the Tamora, I do my quickest in the alfa.
 
Hi, I'am having problems to connect with the servers, how about you??? Hope will be sorted prior to race.

PSN is OK, but GT5 servers are down:tdown:

EDIT: seems ok now!

And the lobby is up! 1.5 hours until race start. Participants should join as soon as possible.

Room number is 1472-6399-8365-2929-9823 for those who have no space on their friends list. I'll kick anyone who isn't already on the list of participants.
 
Andy, I always wondered why dont you just create a private server,? that way you dont have to keep kicking people.

IMO, the server seems to run more fluid when being opened in a regular lobby. Also, I can't change the actual lobby settings on my privat lounge(connection speed and the like).
 
Really hope I don't get DC'd like I did earlier.

Disconnected after 20 minutes 👎:ouch:
