I'm devastated that I didn't make it.
An old injury was playing up & causing problems so I wasn't really capable.
Maybe I should have started on the beer & got myself all lubricated that way. 💡

It sounds like it was a good night. 👍

OB, fix your game!

I have no idea if it's the game, servers or PS3.

I have no idea if it's the game, servers or PS3.

Probably PS3 at a guess.
You could try uninstalling & re-installing the game (back up your progress)? Cleaning up the hard disc somehow? Blowing dust out of the PS3?
Just guesses.

I've done several database rebuilds and file system recoveries, but I think it's just my PS3 being old. I have the 320 GB fat model.

Try getting hold of a cheap, pre-enjoyed, slim PS3?
Surely they must be cheap now that the PS4 has been out for well over 2 years.

I'd have to transfer my game data over. That's 400 cars I don't wanna lose.

Put the save data (game progress, not game files) on a USB stick.
As long as you know your password for your PSN account, set up the user on the new PS3 the same as on the old one & log in to your normal PSN. Then install the updates, then load your save data from the USB storage.

You study computers, you know how to do it.

I have the 2 PSN accounts for the 2 different PS3's but it's not normally necessary. I created those PSN accounts before I ever considered that I would want to be able to log in on other machines & didn't bother to remember the passwords.
I have a 3rd account (password remembered) that works on both machines & I've done the process outlined above several times. I haven't done much with that account but I can use it to log in to PSN through my browser (again, through remembering the password) & transfer course maker tracks or photos & such.

I just keep forgetting the PS3 can transfer data like that. My bad.

You might as well give it a try. 👍

Yea that would suck!! I lost my USB stick and lost all of WONDERFUL green cars (over 600 cars)

But I am actually enyoing Replaying GT6 again 👍

 

[tarkus1]

It was certainly good to see you back on the track again Manny even if most of the time you were zipping by me. I put all effort into race 1 and peaked way too early. It was fun seeing you way back in the mirror even if it was just 1 race. All others you simply made me look like.....well........ just plain ol' Tarkus.
It was also cool to see 2 new drivers show up. Haven't had two new in one night in quite a while.
Next week I'll be bringing back the team events which are a blast. Sorry guys for bailing on that last race which happened to be the only team race scheduled. It just started getting too late. next week not so much time between races.
Had a lot of fun though.

I enjoy the Tsukuba race very much, cos that race make me realize lots of you guys wanna have an affair with me.... on the track....

It was hilarious! The whole race we were racing "DIRTY" (not me ) but we kept asking... "Tarkus is this a clean race?"
And Tarkus would respond - "Well yea I assume is a clean race" while all of US (except me ) were driving crazy and taking the corners WAY too fast lol

Wait till you see the boys on the Red Bull Ring these days. They invent their own track limits!

Without the crashing.

I was racing with Mazda at the beginning and realized we have the BS, thus I asked Tarkus1 "is this a clean race?" and the answer was "yup this is a clean........" and I found myself on the gavel...

It's gonna be fun if we are going to have a 10 laps dirty BS race at London, cos it has so many spots in there where we can force the other car into the wall/dead/corner....

That sounds like a great idea!

The B/S in clean races always causes problems because everyone is travelling at different speeds every time they approach the corners & there are loads of crashes.

Yeah, you should remind me of that before the next agenda. I like that idea also.
Hey @MannYhAvitZ. You're not fooling anyone "while all of US (except me ) were driving crazy"

yawn~~~~~~

Do you guys like Le Mans Races for Main Event


(May be One Make)

 

[Blackmagic60]

I'm the first that will be dropping out tomorrow night after injuring my wrist/hand yesterday after a stupid bicycle wreck. Then again falling at 32mph surprised more wasn't done.

Not the biggest fan of le mans races however I'll race with anything

 

[tarkus1]

I think they're fun.

 

[Eh Team]

The main event that was set for tomorrow has been postponed for now, I'll be releasing more info on that tomorrow. As much as it was meant to bring back a bunch of guys for one night to have a big race together, it seems that this date hasn't worked well for them so a reschedule is in the works hopefully.

Just keep us posted. That event did sound like a blast.
Well since there's no event, I do have an agenda posted. This is based on a night of team racing. 3 of 5 wins the night.

 

[alcheng]

will we have a main event for Jun? besides the postponed one.....

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

How does team match work?

 

[alcheng]

Team BBQ Pork vs Team Buffalo Wings!!

 

[tarkus1]

Team BBQ Pork vs Team Buffalo Wings!!

MMMM, buffalo wiiiiings. (drool dripping from mouth)

Well basically Manny so far we've just split up the two teams into USA vs Canada. Its been an absolute blast with some of the races we've done so we run a similar race to what you're used to but just do what ya gotta do for the TEAM. If I'm in second place around the last turn of Daytona and see some other team coming up fast and my teammate is in first, I'm going to drop back and try and take out the guys coming up fast in hopes that my teammate will be clear for the win.
Since you're from Mexico, you would most likely go to a team with the lesser amount. There's still nothing serious about this so it really doesn't matter.
Although the last time around, Team Crazy Canucks had Team Baby Bird outnumbered so we hope for an even showing this time to bring that title back south.
