Here is what the Ginetta Jr series is starting to look like! I think we need to just add the amount of laps for each event and we should be done . I know Sam is working on the formula for the dropping of your worse points score out of the 6 events. So hopefully the Oz gang can help us with that. I also started a reserve drivers list for this next series, so i dont mind if your going to miss the race but i need to have notice! The notice allows me to get next guy up to speed and ready for that night, so please try and help me out on that:tup:. If there is an emergency i get it and dont bother with letting me know, just take care of your business! Ok i think thats it and i hope to be on some today if my ps4 allows me, last night after first race i could not join or create any rooms .

Update: i still cant get in pcars as of this morning, me and grim have been trying, no luck? Anyone else able to get in?

 

[mphile77]

Disconnection update , so fri night I couldn't get in any rooms after our first race, Saturday was a no go because game didn't work period, and this morning 5 of us got in a room and 4 got disconnected within 20min. So im thinking as of now race might get pushed back, but thats not 100% yet. I will need feedback from all of you guys on this, get on and try and run races. I will try the game Monday night, but i doubt we will see results, keep up the good work SMS. This could go down as buggiest game ever .

I run in a GT3 series on wed nights and we finished qualifying and warm up,then BOOM. everyone got disconnected. we couldn't keep a room open long enough to race.

Yeah things not looking good for pcars at the moment. We all might be on hold for a little bit till they get a patch together to fix 8.0 Disconnection issues . It may be time to dust off the old ps3 and head back over to gt6 , did i just say that .

Last wednesday, my AOR league race was postponed due to terrible network connections. We tried to restart the event a couple of times but people would just keep getting kicked off.
I wonder if human actual demand for Internet quality can cope with what Internet companies are able to supply.

Well i do know that once we couldn't get on Saturday with pcars we all jumped on starwars and played all day with no issues! So i know i can rule out my service because that works perfectly, but anything can be possible?

 

[mphile77]

I would like to see who can get on tonight for a 1/2hr practice race? We need to do a test to check and see if the rooms can handle everyone without disconnect? I did 2 sessions yesterday and had disconnect issues both times. Br and myself did manage to get a 1/2hr practice race in with no issues, so that was a positive! Ok let me know if ya guys want to try something tonight?

[Arx]

Hi, unfortunately I got a job recently so this means I can't race on tues night (wed morning/midday for me). But it means I will have a normal sleeping schedule and I will attend on Friday nights.

 

[Br1mann]

I was on again after the super bowl. I had no problems. I'll be on tonight.

I think I see a friendly rivalry coming on eventually, just don't go driver poaching

Haha, someday you will have your wheel and then the poaching will begin . We may lean on you a bunch for info on this stuff. We are rookies when it comes to AJ's events. How many drivers? Do we have to run all the events? How do you swap drivers? All this stuff i have no clue? I think samsung did one of these events? Maybe he has some knowledge on the details as well?

Im thinking i may want to try it, my only issue is long stints over 2hrs, im not a big fan racing that long without a break(good thing i have a pee jug)

You can try all you like but I quite like my manager position for Spinning Arrows .

One thing to look out for is that AJ made a point of it this year that each class in the GT6 area of the series will do at least one 24 hour race. That comes with a minimum of 4 drivers in the race, and a maximum I think of 5. It's always good to enter the maximum and have one them on standby duty in case someone has an emergency or other thing come up. You may or may not have a 24 hour race in your schedule, it really depends on when he gets everything put together for the year I would think as there will be quite a few new teams since he's moving to a new game.

Something else to watch is your driver ratings, granted all of you guys that aren't already on a team (I recognize a couple from GT6 events) because some classes come with maximums to allow drivers of lesser skill compete.

Example: The current GT3 classes in the GT6 iteration are divided into PRO and AM classes. The PRO class is allowed to be fully stacked with the highest rated drivers (Platinum), while the AM class may have one Platinum driver, one Gold, two Silver, and one Bronze as the maximums.

As far as I know you do not have to run all the events in the season, however it is recommended you do to ensure you're invited back for the next season. Being a free to enter, franchise based series, AJ really wants to ensure all the grid spaces are filled. You can hire drivers to race for you if not enough guys on the team want/are able to, so don't think you have to only have a specific set of drivers for the season.

Driver swaps on Project Cars is a whole different story from GT6 swaps because GT6 has clubs, so as long as you're in the club you can join the room. I don't know much about it on this game but I think he sends you a room invite and then at the time of your driver swap the guy in the room leaves, you accept the invite, and then get in. That's my best guess, I do believe Samsung can confirm or deny that being correct as I think he was in the test event late last year.

Im thinking i may want to try it, my only issue is long stints over 2hrs, im not a big fan racing that long without a break(good thing i have a pee jug)

You may have a slight problem with that depending on the race length, since you want to make as few pit stops and driver changes as possible because they take time up (DC's especially). This season so far, I don't think I've run a stint less than 3 hours long because the car needs to be out there running in order to keep it near the front (Although PSN has had other ideas about cars I drive being at the front).

Here's the link to the current Sporting Regs, don't worry about the yellow since you probably haven't been through them before. That's for everyone else to just quickly find the most recent changes, do note however that they do change a decent amount since the series is still young and finding good balances on things is an on going process.

I wouldn't go anywhere near saying I'm the best TM in the series, but if you have any questions just ask me and I'll see what I can do to help.

 

[VRT24V]

sorry I haven't been around much the last few days..... something big is happening at work and its all hands on deck.

I am 95% sure I'll be able to get online tomorrow though.... hope the network issues are sorted out.

The grand finale

Tonight is our final GT4 event of the series. This one will rip your tires to shreds, and cause you to drive at a different level . We will see all sorts of strategies for tonight, lets just hope pcars dosent have a mind of its own and start disconnecting drivers . Remember we are running 32laps tonight and not 1hr. It will still be an hr long event, so no worries. Br1mann will be our host tonight, he has some super power internet and we want the best possible connection we can, so hopefully this will keep our room going strong . If any drivers cant make the race please let me know, this way we can give other guys a chance! So that should be all i have , and remember turn one and lap one please show patients, thanks in advance .
