T&L racing - OPEN EVENTS

[Blitz187]

Blitz you are ok to join tonight, just tell me which car and which race you are attending 👍 EDIT just saw you already posted this above Blitz, excellent

Richard, none of the cars are Premium, but there is an Astra touring car '00 in the Online Collector's Dealership at the moment, which is perfect for this event 👍

All the best
Maz

Thanks Maz! See ya guys tonight then 👍 Just saw the BMW weighs the most too But you've made some minor changes to some of the others, so I trust they'll all be pretty evenly matched

 

[Synwraith]

Looks like I cant join, dont have any money left. Have fun guys 👍

I'll gift you a car when I get home, Richard. Probably CLK 👍

I'll make it correct engine specs and let you fiddle with the suspension, LSD, gears etc

All the best
Maz

Thanks Maz ! 👍

Looking forward too the race

Richard, the DTM cars are just a little too expensive apparently and cannot be gifted. I wish you had told us earlier mate we could have run your B-Spec drivers for you or sent you cars to sell.

Can you quickly do a few of the Seasonal Ferrari F1 races and make some cash to buy that Astra, therefore joining us at the later 20:00GMT race lobby?

Sell an F40 or two?


I'll be opening a lobby shortly, join through community and add me on PSN (deano and Blitz) if you havent already so you can join my lobby. We'll be testing at a different track then I'll switch to Nurb/D just before the race.


All the best
Maz

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

Looks like I cant sell cars... tried 15 different cars.

I have had so much bad luck with this game I wont get many more cars either, stoped playing a spec after 3 save files lost and I refuse to play more with the incredible SLOW and stupid AI.

Sorry for the rant... have a good race guys 👍

 

[Blitz187]

I can't join guys. Got surprise company and were watching CL footie, so I won't be done on time. I'll try the next event! :tup:

 

[NLxAROSA]

Excellent race tonight. 👍

Oh, and somebody needs to check their headset, I had to turn mine off because it sounded like somebody strapped theirs to the pedals.

 

[stealthwinner]

**** maz. just realised i totally messed up the pit strategy in my head. i pitted only 1 time in the 25 lap race. you must put me last in this race result. my bad. thanks for setting up the race. it was fun.

 

[WayneGTC]

Great event tonight Maz 👍

thanks all for this good fun

PS : no result yet from "hare & tortoise" ?

 

[Fastas]

Thanks again for the racing T&L. Four intense and fast/clean races with some of the fastest guys online.

Great fun and banter.
Dan. 👍

 

[dranddad]

Sorry I dropped out of the PSN server about lap 12, checked my lounge connection Nat type 2 bandwidth very high, checked internet speed 41.9 out of 50 mbs.


Checked PSN sever connection, failed to connect (how the) thinking back to a race the other day in GTP_IDOR Bart’s GTP_Pasm Video number 2 on the last lap shows me in second place coming to the finish of the race, you can see in the top right corner on the video that GTP_Eriba has just signed in.

Which leads me to believe that I have an electrical connection problem with a cable somewhere?


Hope to get this sorted soon so I can join in again.

Phillip.

Great racing last night gents, some of the best I've had ,I find myself saying that alot lately. I can only Thankyou for being such great races.
If your reading this from the outside and think you can run twenty laps going from 180mph to 40mph with 4-16 cars around you without any contact then these are the boys to do it with. The replays are like watching racing on tv, awesome.

Deano those last two races with you confirmed what Fingers, Jon and co have been saying, you are a total class act 👍 That last lap had me in total stitches

Haha Rune, no worries, it's just good to have you racing again

Thank you also to Laurent, Phil, Fastas, the incredible Maffski and the sick & twisted Lars for joining what was a fantastic night of racing. Pics will be added to the results very shortly!

I'd like to thank everyone who showed up last night-I guess the numbers were very acceptable considering the late hour-it was great fun.👍
There is no report or results involved since as stated previously this was purely for fun.
And very enjoyable it was,imo, we started at Lemans with the DTM cars and went for shuffle for the rest of the evening which brought up some memorable moments that made some good laughs possible...I can't refrain myself of pointing out the trail K race where Mário tried to scare the competition driving a scarier Laramie truck
Anyway it was very enjoyable and a evening well spent amongst friends...and that was what I was looking for.👍
So thanks everyone for showing up.
Now tonight I'll be running at the same hour the same combo-DTM/30 Min race(if the participants are the same as yesterday we probably will do another track so it won't get repetitive) and then shuffle.


HOPE TO MEET YA ALL THERE

 

[WayneGTC]

Sorry Arvore, just coming back & I'm just too tired, need some good sleep before driving again.

Hope you guys had great fun 👍

The caldera has a circumference of around 120 km (75 miles), although sources vary on the exact distance.

the Tires

Hey Jon

As you know i am away all this week and most of next so will miss the midweek races

And thanks for changing the Italian job date

Back for saturdays race though

Have fun be cool

 

[Marchbrown]

Ive updatetd some of the bhp limits for the good, the bad and the ugly race.

I have to ask the question Jon, I tried to take part in the last event but unfortunately fell foal to the disconnection bug. If a member of any team gets dc’ed once the race has started would the surviving member be allowed to carry on with the race.

If so how many pit stops would he/she be allowed to make taking into account the 65 lap duration.

This disconnection thing seems to be very random here in the UK, weather its numbers on the server or what I just don’t know, at times it’s happened to me and I’ve checked my connection to both servers and internet speed and the results where Nat2 bandwidth very high with internet speed of 40mbs out of 50mbs.

Just very strange.

Phillip.

 

[Marchbrown]

Yo Philip
Atm we've got to types of team events. In one of them 2 drivers use same kind of car. When 1 of the team is on track the other will wait in the pit. In this event its impossible to produce results for the team if one of the members gets dc'ed.

The other type of event is teams put together by fastest and slowest quali time. Its the combined result of the two drivers that makes final position. In this event its possible to give out final positions even though one of the team memebers gets a dc. Ofc teams where both drivers finnish will collect more points and get a higher final result.
The coming race this saturday is put together like this.

I hope my bad english answeres your question.

About connection issues to me it seams like some people just dosent connect well. In my lobbys Its always helped if you can narrow it to the people with such issues and get them both to leave lobby, empty catch and reenter. To bad that we get our game experience destroyed by this connection ****e.
