....sometimes when the right hard liquor is involved I lose on purpose.

I'd expect no less!! :cheers:

My friends had to make a rule for Mario Kart because of me. They got tired of me winning every time so there's a rule that if you win three times in a row you have to give up the controller and let the others (losers) play. :lol:
 
Can't find you folks so I assume I'm a bit late. Apparently when it even smells like snow people drive like its snowing right now.

I'll see if I can make Sunday as last time was fun and I'd like to get some more seat time in with the poor weather.

Was it a case of "If you're not in bed by 4am, go home"?

Is that how things like this happen? :lol:

I hope to be on, so if your around or I see you guys come online drop a msg if necessary and I meet you in a (club) room ;)
 
I'll try to figure out how to make the club thing, haven't had time to fool with it yet.

Also, so far I've tried a few combinations. The first night was spec karts with weak draft, the racing was very close and very fun but the draft was a bit too strong so it came down to just hanging in second place until the final turn of the final lap and then drafting past for the win. The second night we did full tuning with real draft, the pack got spread out very quickly and it wasn't very fun. The third night I did full tuning with weak draft, this was a little better but we still got pretty spread out and it wasn't as much fun as the first night. So this time we'll try spec (no transmission tuning) with real draft and see what kind of racing that produces, I think it could be the best combination. Yeah, we will run out of gear on a few tracks but IMO that's not as big an issue with karts and it does a lot to keep the pack close and the racing fun. My main goal is to make this fun, and for me fun is battling in close quarters lap after lap, so we'll see what the spec/real combination produces.
 
What about the non-shifter karts, are they a possibility?

Yeah, I presume whatever method I settle on for the shifters will work the same in single-speed karts. I don't like the single-speed karts much because if/when you spin or crash it takes three-to-four days to get back up to speed and by that time the race has finished and everyone else has gone home. Once you're up to speed though, they're fun!

Just sucks when you suffer consequences for someone else's actions.

Of course. That IS racing however.

I've had the closest, most competitive battles in the slower in Jr. and 100cc karts. The best racing comes when folks are prepared. That is, when they've practiced. Impromptu track selection hinders that quite a bit. I'm def a fan of scheduled races.

That's what I've always done in the past but my PC arrives today so I'll be having limited GT6 time in the future. I just want to be able to turn on the PS3(s) on Sunday afternoon, open a kart room and go. And since I'm running these in public room to bolster numbers, people who aren't on GTP won't have the knowledge to prepare ahead of time. I've been running in some other people's shifter kart rooms the last month or so, switching tracks after every race and with no gearbox tuning, and some of the racing has been incredibly close and fun. So it can be done.
 
Likely going to miss this weekend's racing as well. Not working this time but I've tried to turn on the PS3 but GTA V on PS4 has consumed most of my free time and intoxicants this week. Perhaps the 'shiney new thing' will wear off next week. I haven't even been on War Thunder in a week.

Good luck to you folks in interim.

I hope to be in a similar position this weekend (providing my PC actually has a functioning video card this time). :cheers:
 
Oh yes, you can certainly have good racing, especially when spec. I was in a room the other night and it was a pretty good time as we'll.
