Not that I'd expect anything because they aren't the GT servers but maybe we'll get a gift at the end of it. Another Vision wouldn't be bad but they have bigger things squirrelled away that we want even more. On the note of thursday though, it gives us a nice break from killing ourselves over tuning and a little more time to think about race strategy. Then again, the rust can set on pretty quickly for some of us.
<-- psst this guy over here can be one of them sometimes.

I used to race with two Australian guys quite frequently during the summer months last year until I found GTPlanet.
For some reason they always wanted to race at the Red Bull Ring so that is what we did most of the time.
There were never any problems with our connections and I had also heard that Australia could be a risk zone,
but evidently it worked just fine for me.
Don't look too long though. It's not a pretty sight!
I put on clean clothes every day, I love my mother and I never swear or curse. Hope that counts for something.
When we race the Z8 we show respect towards one another, as it should be.
If you read through the 800+ messages you will find that there has never been an argument or complaints about a driver.
Quite incredible really. We always run with damage on, no aids and strong penalties so I guess maybe that is why the trolls
and cheaters have just let us be. And that's a great thing.
Thanks for your kind words, Manny.

+1 here vouching for Jocke. He's the top guy in Europe for what you're looking for @o_OPaTricKO_o. Partly because he keeps good company. There are a few other guys who are all friends & run similar clubs to Jocke but each have their own favourite car. As you get to know everyone around here, you'll soon find the clubs I'm talking about. I think a few of them are probably linked in Jocke's signature.I used to race with two Australian guys quite frequently during the summer months last year until I found GTPlanet.

Edit: Yeah, I just checked. Links galore after everything Jocke types on here.

The trick to hosting anyone from around the world is......
First close to the monitor. tjger is going to tell you a secret.
Closer.
Closer.
I said closer gosh darn it.
Close enough that I can reach out and scratch you with my paw.
Delete your GT6 Caches.
Go to your PS3 internet browser and delete the cookies, caches, and browsing history.
EVEN if you don't use the PS3 to view the web.
THEN turn off your PS3.
Now turn off your modem and router for a few minutes.
Now find some badges and heal up that awful scratch.
Turn on your modem, router and PS3.
Learning another language is up to you now.
PRINT THIS OUT and include with your bathroom reading material. 👍
After your have read it. Use to wipe any additional blood off your face.
Right guys?
💡 
Oh yeah. These tips work great if you intend to race in someone else room.

I just replied to the FR from @o_OPaTricKO_o in really shoddy French. At least I tried though, eh?
You see everyone! I told you he was learning!Don't forget the beers, man.

What learning?
He can't see the time line of the post.
7:38 and 7:41. A three minute gap in which he can't recognize that the beer guys are already there.
There's no post edit note time. Three minutes at Daytona is two laps.
So while we wait for Mallet to sober up
Enjoy Project Cars.

Polar Bear Official: Some crazy from the german press came straight into the den and demanded that the team principal let him take our driver and car out for some good press shots. After refusing to leave for 20 minutes it was decided that he be allowed to do as he wished, with one stipulation, the driver does not get out of the car unless it's on fire. Thankfully everything stayed non-fiery and the man took some very good shots of the car. He said it was his first time to Daytona and that he hoped to have photographed the winning car before and after the race. Teams beware, a small man with graying hair may barge into your garage at any moment demanding your car and driver to the track. Our driver said it was actually quite relaxing.
"It was pretty enjoyable. I got to just cruise around and inspect the track as well as spend a little time with the car outside of its fiesty race personality. We're pretty much ready to race so hopefully his pictures don't give away too much about the car."
The Polar Bears are now just looking for a place to keep cool in this oven that is Florida, one was reported to have been hiding in a gas station ice box that had a suspicious looking bottle of vodka in it. Another took an unsuccessful swim in the very warm Lake Lloyd saying he preferred Spa because of the cool mountain rain that hit the track quite regularly.

Breaking News..!!!!
Team Ford GT setup an unexpected press conference at 5:00am at Daytona Raceway.
Here is the statement from Team Ford GT:
Team Ford GT is pleased to announce we have accquired alexmavis/alex to be our team driver for the Rolex 120 Minutes at Daytona. During the private testing session, we were very excited to see the driver were able to setup promising and consistent laptime, which can raise the bar for Team Ford GT to a competitive level against other manufactures.
Statement from the driver:
After an intensive testing session, the race engineer at Team Ford GT were able to setup the chassis to my driving style and liking. Thus I was able to setup some laptimes which is much faster and consistent than the other contender. Since Team BMW Motorsport has a very strong contender and their drivers line-up is also the strongest in the field, I have no choice but to switch to a much more competitive Ford GT.
So far the laptime is very promising, and more testing will be done tomorrow, and we will have a clear picture on our position ranking in qualify and race.
Team Ford GT also released some press-photos for alexmavis, including the private late-night testing session:

I think it would be safe to say that you owe the club(if you can't remember who needs one) an apology as well as management...squash everything and lets have some good clean fun
@o_OPaTricKO_o I'm also from the caribbean, both griff and myself are from Barbados

Team McCarthy Official Press Release:
Daytona press corp.
Now Mr. tjger you were seen on the track earlier today in the Ford GT. Whats your thoughts on the car?
tjger.
Too fast. Takes the thrill of the hunt away.
Daytona press corp.
What's your thoughts on the rest of the field of drivers?
tjger.
Impressive. The BMW Z4s are going to be the force to be reckoned with.
The Mercs, well they look to be strong at beginning, but will have troubles as we go into the night. The Ford GTs. They have tire problems. The Audis like to eat Mercs for lunch. so that will be an interesting battle. The NISMO GT-Rs. A tough track for them. When we travel to Spa they'll show their true strengths. The Corvettes. Duh, not to much to say.
Daytona Press corp.
So are you confident in the Viper?
tjger.
Heck yeah city boy. There will be two Vipers on the track. Our motto during the race will be....."If it bleeds, we'll find it." Any other questions?

Something wrong in here!!!!
where is all my teammate from Mercedes????
Jerry can not make it
Alex jump to other team
Just wonder how many people drive Ford, Z4, R8, Viper,Vette,and Nissan
There's some issues with the AMG SLS which cannot be resolved even the mechanics have spents 15+ hours trying to locate the root but still it is suffering on the track....
however.... Team Ford GT always welcome you and they are willing to resolve the contract issue for you with Team AMG Mercedes.
