Seems the lords of the interwebs didn't want me to have fun racing tonight. I am able to race in other rooms, but keep getting disconnected from DJ's. And I was looking forward to this all week. Well, well, just one more week 'till next time, hopefully I'll have better luck then. Hope you guys had fun, though :-)

Great racing tonight...really enjoyed it!!! Thanks to all for making it a good night!:)

Just some more stuff on room settings....open lobby became a bit annoying with loads of others coming in...felt a bit bad booting them but didn't want the fun racers to miss out!!!

Race quality low worked well I think.....I did have the room on open rather than fixed ownership in case I got booted...but apparently the fixed ownership is better if for all.

If you have Nat type 3 then you may need to improve that...there are vids on youtube which are useful...bandwidth less than normal probably means you need a new provider or you live quite remotely...check out your upload speed in network settings on your ps3..i think 33kbps is enough but more is better...

Anyway...great night..will update the racers in our group page...keep a record of stuff...over to you Chris!!! 👍

I have Nat Type 1... is that better or worse than Type 3?

Nat 1 means your PS3 goes straight to the internet with no router involved...both Nat 1 and Nat 2 and equally good...Nat 3 can be fine but is susceptible to d/c....
 
Just out of curiosity, Im wondering how I drove this last race. Did I piss you off when over taking or did I do anything that made you go, this guy is a jerk? i've really been trying to up my driving ability and its left me wondering. I switched to "bumper cam" from cockpit view as its given me more input to my surroundings. I know I made a few clean passes but at the same time I know ive cut some people off while trying to be a bit more aggresive on the track. Also does anyone have a saved replay from the race? I never saw an option for me to save it. Any input is greatly appreciative and I have very thick skin, so fire away :P
 
Not for me madwi...my thinking is as we play for fun its best not to get too precious about getting the odd bump...the weak penalty system works well I thought to cut down on extreme contact...go for those gaps...
 
I appreciate the feedback! I know I bumped you on the last straight away on the course lol but in my defense you were ghosted and appeared out of thin air in front of me lol. I'm really trying to become a very clean racer and I hate when I contact other drivers. The getting used to a wheel vs. controller, it has me really analyzing how I drive. Its so different from smashing X button and slamming the square button lol.
Also I'm sorry for my poor Mic. it seemed to be working but then would cause a bunch of "crap" for those of you listening.

no worries my friend...I apologise to those who have to listen to my inane drivel...especially the running commentary on how well I am taking the corners..:D

regarding clean driving...I was the perpetrator and victim of some accidental bumps last night...pretty much unavoidable with so many cars on the road and so much testosterone flying around. I try to 'hound' people into making a mistake then drive past.....trying too hard to overtake I have realised usually leads to both of you ending up in the fence...:lol:

I really enjoyed the last race against you, it was very close, and I was trying my best to overtake you. If you hadn't spun out on the last hairpin you would have won for sure.

@ DJ I must say I enjoy your chit chat sometimes... especially when you were humoring over the people using sports hard tires :). Laughter is contagious :D

lol...better to have softs on....:sly:

btw guys...you can 'turn people off' and please feel free to turn me off if you like...in one of the last races 2 Spanish guys...who were clearly friends...joined us and started chatting in Spanish...so I turned them off...not because I have anything against the Spanish...(though if you keep winning piti that might all change..:) )...I just don't understand it so no point listening to it...
 
Who wrote the wierd message yesterday??
''Focus on the race, don´t look here''
I know it was longer, but i can´t remember the whole thing, i laughed my head off, and then DJ as a commentator was really fun, i like chasing you and see if you make mistakes or if you get nervous.

Madwi, don´t worry too much about that, i got bumped and i bumped people, is part of the fun.

I wrote that. DJ and some other guy was talking about how it was hard not to look at the messages that pop up, so I thought I would help encourage them...

and the whole message was
"Dont pay attention to this, focus on the race... HEY LOOK, BOOBS at 9'o'clock"

I was bored seeing as how I was booted just as the race started :)

Great main race guys.
@ piti. Great work chasing me down on lap 8. Got bad drive out onto the back straight and knew you would have me by the 130R(think thats what its called). Had a quick look sideways just before turn and totally lost it and ran wide!
Tyres seemed totally shot and i kept falling behind after that. So desided to pit in and try and get out infront of DJ in 3rd.
Came out pits just behind DJ and made a foolish lunge in the esses which took us both out momentaraly (sorry DJ).
Should have known better than that,(minus racecraft points for me) as with fresh tyres i should have been able to grab 2nd back later in the lap.

In all- a great fun evening --no lag as far as i was concerned. Plenty of laughs:).

BTW anybody else see that invisible rain???? made it hard to drive......not the rain but the bl**dy wonkey wipers got me fixated on them,,,,,,lol.
