You don't need a thumbdrive if you don't have one.
You can copy the save game to another profile and then copy it back.
Takes longer, but will save you a trip to the store.
FR gogatrs and I'll send next time I'm on.

Hey you still going to send that ticket? I've taken a break from grinding atm was just wondering if I should continue with it or not?

Sure thing I won't bother with grinding as going through the math i can see that it would take awhile and I'd be up for awhile then have to wake up early...:crazy:

Yea my save corrupted that's why I didn't get to do the Super GT. Would be nice if you could set up a way to get a FGT!!:dopey: I'm kind of restless right now I want to sleep but I just want to know that I have a car.

XQ by your name you are eligable for obe for qualifier. I will be in the room for another hour or more.

BQ by your name says you ran your Bump day Qualifier.
 
Sorry guys, I guess I did too much racing yesterday (and had 1 too many beers) and I crashed out in my la-z-boy chair. lol Sounds like I missed out on a flurry of activity! Looked like things were very exciting, a true Bump Day! Congratulations to the top 16 on qualifying for what should be an incredible and grueling race! And thanks to Owens for staying up late and making sure everything was updated.

@aceboy, we will wait for you. We won't start the race until everyone is there, hopefully a little after 1pm.

We ask that after a pitstop everyone uses the full pit exit lane and re-enters the track in the backstretch. It's easier to merge with traffic in the backstretch then in the short chute. You will enter the pits on the front stretch, not in the short chute between turns 3 and 4.


For the start we are going to use a short 2 lap race as our formation laps. When the "Go" signal is given everyone will pull away slowly and get 3 wide, staying around 120mph. This is mainly a "photo op" and it doesn't matter what order we are in, we will stay 3 wide for one lap.

On the second lap everyone will stop on the backstretch and we will type out the starting order. When your name appears in the chat box you will pull away and cross the start/finish line. Once everyone has crossed the line and the "race" is finished everyone will return to the pits (stay off the track) and we will start the full race. It will line us up in the order we crossed the finish line from the 2 lap race.

The actual race will be set to "rolling start", it will set us 2 wide and when the "Go" signal is given the race will be underway! We don't want to go into turn 1 with a 3 wide group for the real race, it would be a disaster for sure, so we will stay in the 2 wide formation that it puts us in. The 3 wide stuff is just for photos.

We will practice the start once or twice before the race to make sure everyone knows what to do.

The official starting line up is as follows:

1. LVracerGT:
Lap 1: 0.38.696

We also ask that everybody turn their mics off during the race to prevent any connection issues. We'll need all the bandwidth we need for a 200 lap race with 16 drivers. 👍
Let us know if there are an questions or if we need to clarify anything. We'll have a room open by 12:00pm EDT for a last bit of practice. I might have a short (corny) pre-race ceremony for us too, just to add to the "authenticity". :) See you guys in a few hours!!

Regretfully i will have to withdraw. My day has not worked out as planned and i am now well and trully gutted that i can not take part in this race. I've been looking forward to it for weeks. I hope you can contact whoever came 17th in qualifying before the start of the race. Sorry, but thanks for giving me the chance to qualify and hopefully i will be able to take part in this race another time.
:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:
 
Sorry to hear that man, but thanks for participating and helping to make our first event an exciting one! We are going to do the Monaco Grand Prix next, so if you're interested stay tuned for details.

That means jml1010 will take the 16th and final spot, I'll update the official list.
If you guys are will to tolerate about 2 minutes of corniness I have a pretty cool pre-race ceremony lined up for us. If anybody's ever been to the actual race, they'll truly enjoy it. :)
 
I would be up for monaco. 👍
On holiday until June 13th so would have to be after that for me. But i really want to do the Indy500. I love enduro's and the tactics involved in that race.
Good luck to everybody today. Still gutted....
 
Its probably recommendable that everyone back up their game save before connecting. I've heard of some people having problems online then coming back to find their game save gone since the PSN came back up.

Also on a related note I hope we don't have too many disconnections during the race. I got disconnected on the last lap of one of our 50 lap practices, but that was when I had my PS3 pretty far from my router. I rarely get disconnected otherwise though.

Other than that I'm super pumped for the race! I'm hoping it goes smooth but crashes will be inevitable with the combination of lag and the draft. I'll take what I can get though!
 
Are you guys going to be putting this on YouTube? I'd really like to watch it and i'm sure that many others would too. Anyway, have fun!
P.S. Extra good luck to aceboy127 and gogatrs!
 
I believe Owens has access to a video capture card and plans on putting together a lengthy highlight video to post on youtube. I'm pretty handy with the photo mode and making slideshows so there will be one of those too. Should be awesome!

On a side note, I live just an hour north-east of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and it is an absolutely gorgeous day today! Very sunny, 77 degrees with a cool breeze, a great day for a race!!

Looks like they might get some rain for Bump Day though!

Also, Bump Day from the real track will be broadcast on Versus during our race and I plan on having it on my big screen to add to the atmosphere! If you don't get Versus, it will also be streamed on www.racecontrol/indycar.com. 👍

It would be awesome if somebody had a webcam and could stream the race live via Ustream or Qik or Skype so that GTP members could tune in and watch the action. We will try to get that worked out for the next race, maybe even have multiple cameras setup so people could see different parts of the action.

I have a webcam on my netbook, I'll see if I can get that setup. 👍

Does he have his data backed up online? That's the only way that would work, the cars stay with the console... Keep spaming Gogatr's inbox! I'm sure he'll send you the ticket as soon as he gets online!
