Spinning Arrows Club. Thursday night casual racing.Open

[Blackmagic60]

Great racing last night still amazed the 2 pit stop idea work with knowing i was up to 4 seconds a lap slower once Fan had pitted, and during that second stint was worried i was losing to much time but was able to make it work in the end

Alex i always leave the names during the main and grand events on so i know who im racing, if i need to race clean battling for position or if i just need to move someone whos a lap down and wanting to block

I will be picking my car tomorrow night for the nurburgring at 11pm EST

 

[tarkus1]

I think I was 17th so I'll wait a while to choose cars.

 

[alcheng]

Ok, gentlemen.

The podium winners will each pick a car.
They can not pick the same car. So start nagging the winners to make their choice(s) quickly.

After that everyone will JUMP at the opportunity to grab a car. Again only two cars at a time. So only two BMW GTRs.
Only two Opel Astras, only two Mercedes CLK, and so on.

The cars are too close in competition to each other. So the chooses could be up to a driver's personal preference.

If you have the winners on your FR list. Start bugging them NOW.

gordonnation first
FAN_Lawless second
alexmavis third.

I thought the driver finished last at the snow event last night can pick the car first, no????

I was able to closing up on you at the end but slowly... but then the glitch cost me...

I'll be back at the DTM for sure...!!!

And make sure everyone can see me!!!!!

Really? I finished last in the snow.
I could have finished next to last, but Mazda chose the wider tires which threw more snow in my face.

Oh well. no you guys finished on the podium. You earned the right.

I think it was a penalty you get for being LATE! lol

No once the top three pick, its fair game for everyone else.

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

DIBS!

Even tho is a toy version you guys know what I mean! ​

 

[MRTeam]

^^^^Ha ha Nice try.

Starting with the Nurburgring GP/F Grand Event.
Everyone will have to visit page 83 to enter. A link will be provided that will electronically register your application.

This will help reduce any confusion about the race and the regulations.
A time will be given when registration begins. Each applicant will have a time stamp. So no cutting in front of the line.

So for now be patient and have your info ready.

you jealous i just jumped in and take pole....???

 

[polysmut]

With everybody already choosing cars for the next main event I think now might be the time to break some bad news.
I will almost certainly miss the next 3 main events. I will still be playing GT6 pretty much every day up till around November 9th but will be fairly erratic for around 3 months after that. I will aim to collect my daily login bonus where possible for either Mallet or Bridge, depending on which PS3 is nearest at the time. I will also keep in touch with you guys on this thread.
I've almost recovered from an injury which has given me a lot of unexpected free time over the last few months. The end of that free time will be good news in real life but detrimental to my GT6 career.
When I am online, Spinning Arrows will still be a priority & I will be signing up for some of next year's events when time allows.
In the meantime, don't be surprised if I get to the first 1 or 2 races of any casual nights.
Here's to the next 2 weeks.

Any Mallet time is a good time. Hope to see you around occasionally.

I won't be disappearing completely. Just won't be around as much.👍

DIBS!!!!!!

4th place PICK!!​

 

[MRTeam]

^^^^Its a strong contender, but the others are too.
Choose your weapon wisely.

My Team is in a heated debate between the Mercedes and the Audis.
BMW or Opel/Vauxhall Astra backup choses.

I think what you chose

 

[MRTeam]

@ 1:23 - 1:33 I get a nice Chris Carter-vibe (Director/Creator of The X Files).
Really cool, Manny. 👍



Do you think GT6 will be online for this long, tjger? Would be great if so.

I holding my fingers for a new track or an old favorite from past Gran Turismo games.
Hmm, Seattle
Hong Kong
New York
Midfield.

Of course if the track creator becomes a reality. We'll hold a contest for the best created track.
Try each one out on Casual Night and the winner will be chosen for a Grand Event.

 

[sgohsixthree]

Maybe I should get first choice so everyone can avoid being on the same team.

should we have drivers and constructor championship this time? since some drivers will drive the same car.

 

[MRTeam]

Well, not a bad idea.
The only thing is we're going to use the DTMs once.

In January in the Rolex race at Daytona the car line up will change.

In March at Spa the car line up will change.

So, for now we could play around with it.
We could even have generic team names even if we're not driving the same cars.

So while we wait. Grab your partner and discuss it.

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

Hey OB! When will you upload the Miata race with your point of view? I really want to watch it!
As for my video I am waiting for Alex to send me his replay

we can have Team Championship for this race or couple Main Events...

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

Tjger was right! Just found out that the PS4 will get the 2.0 update and it will allow other player take over your game while you watch them pass a level that you can't!! That means in the future when we have endurance races we will be able to race as a team and swap places in GT7 so we can finish the race!!

 

[GTD_druid]

Hi is this dtm event open for sign ups if any space

Out of curiosity... Anyone know how GTPlanet did their 24 Hour Spa race a couple weeks ago? They had players jumping in and out of the room for the full 24 hours to take over certain vehicles in the teams.

Keep an eye on MRTeam's posts. If you want in, he'll give the green light.

 

[alcheng]

less than 48 hours after the previous Main Event (Miata Endurance), the team has already traveled to Germany and completed its initial test with multiple factory contenders. 👍

I read something a while ago about how that type of event would be set up but can't find it again.

I think the room is set up by the race director, who would also be the safety car driver, as Free Run mode. Then when one driver leaves the track, their teammate enters. At the start & end of each driver's stint they make a photo to send to the race director to show what time they started & finished their stint & how many laps were completed. So the game software itself doesn't actually display the standings.

That's just vaguely from memory though & could be inaccurate. The race director for the Spa 24 hour is called AJ, if you wanted more definite info you could maybe contact him.

I watched the last hour on the live stream & it looked like a great event.
