Guys, i would like to apologize for my raw comment above and replace the word "dirty" for "careless".
I was frustrated because i was thrown into last position three times due to lack of awerness and will to avoid contact.
I'm pretty sure everybody is willing to make sure we race clean and incident free.
 
I will get page one updated in the next night or 2. The only settings that will change will be track is now imola, there will be fog, and time of day and date will change just to get a different feel for driving these cars. So as soon as i get all the info updated i will post details. Next Tuesday is back to casual racing with the original TNM feel! I chose 3 cars 2 races each so head to page one for the details! Hope everyone has a good new year and see ya all soon :cheers:
 
Sorry not the best video iv'e done some sloppy driving and editing. Its a process, had a fun race i am glad i came back. I missed the start and the first 45 minutes which was the most exciting oh well , thanks again it was a hoot.


Thought we had a pretty good battle going! One pit stop you came out in front, the other I did. I look forward to Imola!:cheers:
 
Happy New Year guys!!!

I have something to say:
Even though Life is full of surprises, ups and downs and unexpected things...

I have always stayed strong thanks to family and friends... And even though I have known some of you through GT6 and now we are in PCars... I consider all of you as friends!

So I wish to all my AMIGOS a happy new year and hope to keep racing along side of you all for some fun and competitive Races.

From your Mexican friend

Ok time and weather has been updated for rnd2 @ Imola. It will be a cool damp foggy morning race. Get ready to adjust those tires and tweak them setups a bit! I would say it feels a bit greasy out there, so it should be no walk in the park at all. This track is very demanding at times and will bite you when you least expect it to happen, racing tight here will be dangerous. I suggest you all start practicing together in packs and start getting used to being around each other to cut down on miscommunications the best we can.

Now an idea that was presented to me by samsung is we attempt a self made rolling start for the race. So basically lights go green and we start off slow in formation, then we parade lap around the track and go live at the stripe. This could be very easy or it could be very hard if guys dont pay attention to what we are doing!

Another option I thought of is regular grid start, but you must hold your position into and through turn one. Why you ask, well guys are jumping the start with no penalties maybe, so there would be no zig zagging at the start spinning each other out , then pointing fingers at each other.

I really dont want penalties on for these races, it takes away so much from us! I dont care if a corner is cut here or there, it happens and i trust we are honestly not doing it on purpose. Plus avoiding a collision often results in a penalty by going off track, we dont need that as well, so i want penalties to stay off , but need everyones help to make this happen!

I want everyone to read this over and think on it, give me your opinions ? Im sure internet speeds effect each other a bunch, and maybe we all see some stuff differently so keep this in mind! Dont put yourself in a position on track with a guy you havent raced with and dont know like the back of your hand, back off and save yourself and it will pay off in the end , trust me! Same goes for the guy in front, if you lose a visual on attacking car just assume he is aside of you, hold your line and figure it out on the exit of the corner. There are so many things that can add up to a crash, i chose to drive on defense and it works for me, so give it a shot and be less aggressive while in a pack and results will follow gang! All these above options would be for future events, most likely not this series.

Hope everyone had a great new year:cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

Sounds great. I'm a little worried about coordinating a rolling start, and having guys going 120mph bunched up into turn 1 as opposed to a grid start. But also policing turn 1 from a standing start if we go that route. It all comes down to trustworthy, gentleman drivers. Probably best not to go changing anything mid-series, we know how that can turn out...

I'd say best scenario is to implement the turn 1 rule and hopefully everyone abides and plays nice. :gtpflag:

Yeah I dont want any change either. Im just trying to see what everyone thinks a good solution could be for the future events? The self made rolling start would need to be done in some practice first for sure! Has anyone played with the games rolling start at all, is it better then before? It could work at imola with that long front stretch?

Yeah Imola probably wouldn't be too bad for a rolling start. Think I might test out the tracks and see where maybe we can add rolling starts that are managed by the game, instead of the honor system. :lol:

Just did some testing... for rolling starts here is my verdict:

Imola 👍
Sonoma 👎
Barcelona 👍
Dubai 👎 (This might work, but the middle of the pack will get a green light mid corner... which could potentially be bad)

Yeah we used rolling start yesterday in playa's race and it wasn't working 100%. It would start us in different gears, and it seemed to let us go at different times so some guys just took off at the start. So the games rolling start is out :banghead:. We will keep everything the way it is for the start for this next race and hope for the best :scared:. Assetto Corsa cant get here soon enough for me, im sure hoping they have their 🤬 together more than SMS did with this glitch fest, fingers crossed :confused:.

heres my sugestion for gt4 league, if penaties are turned on it will detour drivers from jumping on start, cutting corners, and rammind each other
 
So im going to do a special ground hog day event feb 2nd. We will be driving the renault clio cup car for the whole night, and so far the only track i have picked is the nurb ring for 3laps. The races this night will be a little longer in length but we will only do 3 for the night in total. Its a fun little car and i can tell ya you want to take all the air out of the rear tires for sure, otherwise tires stay cold and she breaks lose a bunch:banghead:. I will hopefully be on tonight working on the rest of the nights settings/spec's etc. if anyone cares to join me? When i have it all worked out i will do an official post and start to get guys signed up for it! :cheers:

Unless you have a magic wand and can get PSN working,I don't think there will be much racing tonight.
 
What's going on?

PSN is down, Sony doesn't know when they'll have it up.

Its a fun little car and i can tell ya you want to take all the air out of the rear tires for sure, otherwise tires stay cold and she breaks lose a bunch:banghead:.

Is that the trick? I was going to pick that car for the 19th.. but couldn't get it to behave. :banghead: I'll have to try that.

I had trouble getting on netflix for a while but did get on then.

As for the car i had the same trouble you did it sounds? So yeah i started playing with rear tire pressure realizing how cold tires stayed? So yeah drop them all the way down in the rear and she settles in just fine!

Im going to try and get on in a little bit, see what happens?
