Paint this out
 
So, I forgot one thing.

The Hyundai wing of the show had Gran Turismo 6 at a wheel rig for people to try their newest Genesis...right. Nobody was able to drive the thing more than the first corner of High Speed ring so I decided to give it a shot.

Turns out I'm an alien waiting for a wheel...

Edit: Hyundai's fault for leaving the assists on. I'd have been faster without.

so we are using the Scirocco in the one-make garage, right?
 
Short break (still @ work...)
Is it possible to get a list of the recurrent cars used in the majority of races? I even have to buy them and to practice hard... :crazy:
One more thing, I use to drive with full stock cars (or tuned just as necessary). I could need some advice about this topic (pretty easy to understand if possible... :boggled:).
Wish you a nice day... :cheers:
 
I would encourage everyone to make outreaches via PM to racers in your bracket to set up a time for your initial race. Please set those races up via PM (at your convenience - no rush - but also don't keep your fellow racers waiting because you want to practice for 40hrs)

Once you've set your race - feel free to post it in the forum thread so that others could pop in if they are free to watch. Commentary should be kept to a minimum as to minimize distractions.

NGP (new guy Patrick) I shall call you
you should feel free to try to watch a few of those bracket races to see if you'd like to participate in the next go around...

I know tjger and tarkus didn't make it in - they can feel free to watch a few races to see if they'd like to participate in future brackets!!

I have an email off to my bracket racers - lets the games begin!!!
 
I have a new club set up for the bracket of death
Club ID 1028693
The event settings are there to copy or you should also be able to use the room for a race should your team want to....

I would suggest just using it for settings and then racing in the lobby so others can watch easier until we're all part of the club

👍👍


as far as I know, if you are the member of the club and setup a room in the club lobby, other member in the same club can join your room even that person is not on your friend list.

Anything goes my friend... If you have a wheel go for it, if you don't I guess you will be like me and use the DS3:cheers:

Respect to you my friend! You're a very skilled driver!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
I played GT5 with the game controller, cause I didn't have enough place/space for my Playseats + G25, and I know how tricky this can be... :crazy:
But for GT6 I absolute wanted/needed to use my steering wheel. For sure it's another feeling...
 
It's 3 guys....
It's 10 laps...
The computer will dictate the grid...

Perhaps in future brackets we'll see if we need to do something different and qualify or set a grid based on seeding
 
BAD Round 1 testing room open in Ole's community room. I'll be putting in mega-fast laptimes while eating a pizza.. cause thats how I roll.

BTW Being part of the BAD club makes so much sense for me. Although I may still start my own CRAPTASTIC Club. :cool:
