Suzuki Swift Cup Suzuka PP550 xx.00/20/40 (hoorah! its back!)

[mindwise]

while we're waiting, did i mention i'm not opposed to changing the intervals to 10 minutes?

 

[P3nT4gR4m]

sorry if i messed up someone's race on fuji. i drove the little red integrale earlier this evening. just tried it to see how it would run against the vipers

I lol'd. Especially after you ended up beating me after I succumbed to multiple puntage

 

[The Grim Reaper]

That was a good race Mindwise.

Sad though, that to get a good race we had to be at the back of the grid because of all the numpty's

Too short. 15 minutes has worked, as the saying goes, "if it aint broke, dont fix it". 15 minutes is fine to ensure that everyone gets a little time between each race for the toilet/posting on forums/getting a bite to eat/changing tunes/practicing/whatever. As each race is around 10 minutes give or take.

Yes, if someone misses the time, they have to wait 15 minutes for the next one, but I think people can find something to do for 15 minutes if they can find something to do for 10.

 

[mindwise]

yeah, i admit, it's quite tight 10 mins, 15 is good.

yeah, the race after was pretty nasty too.

well, 0:00 CET is coming up, be ready

By the way, you might want to stop double posting, its against the forum rules. You can edit your previous post you know, with the edit button.

Just a bit of advice before the mods see you.

 

[mindwise]

yeah you're right Ardius, thanks for noticing that!
and even if they don't see it, i guess ive been a bit too enthousiasic posting lately.

i'll stick to racing a bit more and posting a bit less

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

TLD sponsorship back? Awesome. Although Im driving for NLxAROSA at the moment, it doesnt mean I dont still love your tunes man.

I know. So is there a race on in 1hr 15mins at xx:00? (20:00 for me)

Edit: No one showed up. I want a Viper race!

Eh? Shall I put up a schedule for down under race times? What time is best?

 

[LordJWC]

i'll race. I'm still toolin around in my Viper (never drove it till this morning!), but I'm down - where? 600PP Suzuka? Is that where we've been talking about?

Never mind. I thought this was a 24hr thing. Wanna race now?


Edit: 600 PP Fuji at xx:05. Be there or be not driving a Viper or something, yeah.

Do you have a PAL copy of the game? Unfortunately, no-one has come forward yet to suggest some times for the NTSC version, so you wouldn't be racing anyone here.

Ah right, maybe I should make that a bit more clear on the first page. Sorry, cant race now, Im about to go out for the day. Maybe tomorrow?

Maybe tomorrow, at a similar time to now or slightly earlier.

Dang, so no one is coming at xx:05 I guess, that time is caput. Shame about region locking. It's really beginning to tick me off trying to organise events.

 

[LordJWC]

Bummer. Perhaps someone who knows more about GMT could coordinate the effort . . .?

Still going to Fuji on your mark tho. ;-)

 

[Timppaq]

If you put a second "official" hour to the shedule, may I suggest like 4-5h earlier (3-2pm English time??)... that way I can participate as I´ve already come from work..
But down under can decide this!

Time is not the problem. NTSC gamers can't play against PAL gamers, they've locked the regions for whatever stupid reason they may have.

If I could speak for all of Downunder I'd say 20:00 GMT +10 is good. That'd be10:00 GMT, or 11:00 English time. But then Timppaq couldn't race, and perhaps some other Aussies couln't race either?

 

[celima]

TOO BAD there's again Too many Italian stupid pseudo drivers

ciao WayneGTC
good race with Viper

which Italian was "stupid pseudo driver"????

 

[WayneGTC]

Ciao Ragazzi

Off course not you Celima, allways a pleasure to race you or Loost 👍
But I was so pissed off by some stupid drivers in those last race, it was almost impossible to drive clean cause of their behavior....

I met 3 really bad ones and all were Italian (sorry) Just one name before disconnecting "Sadalphon"... Hope to not race against them anymore
Yesterday evening at Fuji was a nightmare, th only good race I had was the Viper showdown with some GTP's 👍

See ya online mate

 

[celima]

👍
then we see the Fuji...thanks and good race

sorry for my english

Ok, Ill put up some more time schedules then, one for Timppaq and friends and one for you Aussies and/or early morning peeps.

Ok, Ive changed the schedule, races for us Europeans now start form 3.00pm English time till 11.00pm and the Aussies start from 10.00pm Australian time till 1.00am.
Is that ok? Or should I change the "till" bit?

 

[Chrasher]

I think you should also mention a "premium timeframe" for one hour in the early evening, for Europe as wel for Australia.
If I want to race today with the new schedule I don't find a specific timeframe where I could find the most GTP-racers.

The 7:00PM English time was perfect for this (or maybe 8:00PM), so if we have to make free time for a one hour spin, we could focus on a specific hour.

 

[Ardius]

^Good point, that was the reason I had left it as a certain time before, but obviously 7.00pm english time is not good for the Aussies.
I'll take your suggestion and use it

 

[Hyper-Dan]

Im going to start racing the viper @ fuji from XX:30. 28 mins from now. See you there GTP_ people! 👍

 

[WayneGTC]

Nice race GTP_Type R 👍

 

[Timppaq]

I´ll join at :15

 

[The Grim Reaper]

MindWise Ferrari ????????

 

[mindwise]

Ill be there. Just don't know which Ferrari to bring. (God if only that choice was real life)

Yeah, i thought everyone was going to race Ferrari's.

Or weren't you able to make a choice and then opted for the viper

Btw, i'm in the Viper to, saw the Technical Manager of Dutch Customs driving there too so, i wanna live to see a full viper grid toooo, so don't change back to Ferrari just yet .

=====
another edit, the fear for moderator repercussions won't lift ;(
=====

So, i'm now in the viper, i have to say i rather enjoy riding the ferrari, it's a little faster but feels like it's half the weight.

- Are we racing vipers or ferrari's ????

 

[Timppaq]

Oops, wrong car ...
