The Mercedes and DC event blog

[Darren.]

Ok. Its 1 minute away now. I wonder what the track is..

 

[RX-7_FD3S]

if you check on gt5 news, it says seasonal will be open at 16.20 euro time (4.20pm).
So might wanna check around that time.

[amf7]

the seasonal comes up later i believe

 

[Crispy]

I'm online now and no sign of a seasonal with DC.

Good luck everyone. 👍

Nope, checked again. Still no race. Is it really for everyone globally or just selected folk?

I think it starts at 3:20

Thanks Chris. 👍

Just getting in a last minute smoke.

Ah, the coverage ha started on Telegraph.co.uk

Yup, good to go in 20 minutes.

 

[will-i-am]

Better get to button stabbing

 

[amf7]

good laptime 1.16 LOL DC has no chance

 

[W3H5]

I'll be looking out for daan on the coverage.

 

[SincereTheRebel]

Do we all get a chance or is it just those 14 guys at the mercesdas center

 

[hugo24]

Not up in Australia anyone point to how to find it...

 

[W3H5]

15 minutes to go!

They're selecting the 6 to go race DC.

1.11 Virtual top time

1.18 DC

 

[hugo24]

Do we actually get to race this or are we just watching?

 

[CAM]

Yeah, I kinda have a schedule to stick to, and now 7 of the 20 minutes "practice" time are gone because the Seasonal isn't on my PS3 even after restarting twice. This is bringing back bad memories.

Bah! Confound it.

 

[Famine]

I'll be looking out for daan on the coverage.

He's been on thrice so far

 

[Duck]

Too bad I'm at work
Can only watch

 

[hugo24]

Think I've stayed up till Midnight for nothing don't think we are going to get to do this...

 

[Vince_Fiero]

David in the car

 

[Crispy]

Do we have to restart to get the seasonal?

 

[W3H5]

Still nothing on the seasonal side over here.

 

[CAM]

It's not up yet. I suppose they have to make his ghost into something we can race before it is up, although we were supposed to get some practice time beforehand in the Seasonal setting.

 

[OppositeOfYou]

I'm going to predict that we'll get the seasonal after the race and it'll just be a time trail-esque event.

 

[mattythedog]

It starts at 3.20. Calm down. We have to wait for DC to set a time.

 

[Owen.C93]

They changed the tyres on the GT5 guys, so 1:11 wont be possible anymore. Should be close.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Stream does not support iOS

They're using DFGT??? How cheap Sony can be!!!

 

[Chrasher]

Seems to me the live racing is only for the seven guys at the pods competing for the price. We get the seasonal or Time Trial later.

 

[paskowitz]

DC better hurry b/c those clouds have gotten closer.
