Hope so!!

On another note I went ahead and pre-ordered GT6 from GameStop. Pretty good car pack that comes with the pre-order 20 cars I believe.

[awr117]

Hope it goes well! Really miss having you on track with us.

Well the bad news is I can't get into safe mode anymore..... The future is not bright for the PS3 (cue the trumpet player to play taps...)

 

[thlogan]

Oh man..... Don't give up. A guy who can operate a time machine can figure anything out. If you do show up, don't be showing off that full sized pp. I'm suffering from pp envy, Envy.

 

[awr117]

I've got the biggest balls (or pp) of them all!

There's another psn update. It took almost 5 minutes here.

 

[E46Envy]

Dead, done, toast, kapoot, trash, boat anchor, POS,.....

Confirmed with Sony tech support...yellow light of death. I have personally tried to resurrect YOD victims in the past...not gonna happen. I work in the electronics industry and reflow thousands of circuit boards everyday. It's not a reflow issue, it's a POS issue...oh yeah, and crappy firmware updates. I may send it to Sony for the $100 service or I may drive over it.....currently I'm disappointed......

Either way, gentlemen have a great race tonight!!

 

[awr117]

Bummer man, but i wouldn't send it to Sony. I did that and was dealt another ylod within the year. Better off just buying a new one if you must.

 

[NCRthree]

Damn, that's too bad Envy. Is the $100 fix warranted?

 

[awr117]

Yes, 90 days i believe.

See, see what happens when you use the pp inappropriately..

 

[bermudakid]

Be on around 930.

 

[E46Envy]

Yeah I couldn't justify the $100. What a shame... All I wanted to do was show off my PP.

 

[Scorpion0001]

I am going to be late having trouble with the new update!!!

 

[djchon661]

I got a busy weekend so the race results, standings and pp tracker will be postponed

 

[NCRthree]

I can track my own PP, thank you very much.

Odd race last night. I spent the last 18 laps alone hot lapping between 1 to 1/2 second behind BK and Red per lap. I assume they were both at 600? Looks like they had a good race. Apparently some Damage problems behind me. Jeez I had 2 last race, takes you out of podium contention instantly.

Poor RR couldn't even finish last for a pp replenishment! We'll see how the next race turns out but I'm not crazy about this format. I still think the only way to get a completely even field is to use DeadNutsEven Racing's format. There's a target time and you can't exceed that time in your practice and tuning. You aim to hit that time within a second or less consistently. I'm not advocating it for us as it's a time consuming process. Tuning prohibited is my favorite format by far.

Lots of good car choices for Deep Forest. GTR's, Evo's, STI's, Pajero's etc...

I agree that the PPR format is not perfect but I have thought of one solution.

If we ever run another PPR format series, racers will not be hit with back to back penalties or bonuses.

For example: RR would have got the penalty for the week 1 victory but not the penalty for the week 2 victory. If RR were to win week 3 he would be applied the penalty again.

Same goes for bonuses.

Btw I wrecked and lost a lot of time and robbed rr of last place. My bad RR!

i think i will be racing the C230 R time attack car. It maxes out about 623 pp but thats fine. Racers can choose to race at below their max pp limit.

 

[awr117]

I assume they were both at 600? Looks like they had a good race.

I was at 600 and bk was at 595. Not a big difference in speed, only on the long front stretch. We had a fun battle. I was lifting on the front to keep us even. Though bk was quick enough on the rest of the course.

 

[brettcee]

I think there should be some penalty for missing a race also.
