[Canudigthis]

they changed the days so maintenance is on tomorrow not to day so no worries
and canu it'll be who ever is 5th or 6th and im gonna use my 7pp on cote de zur
as we cant use it on nurburg ring

If you got enough top end you can go from 6th to 1st in one straight. Lol

 

[zuat]

Looking forward to tonight. I also quite like the bonus pp stuff. Bronzo and 101 run around the 1.41 mark. I think will is around the 1.42 mark. Me is suck hind tit, but am consistant at 1.43 / 44. I don't want my bonus pp tonight unless i can get accummulate more bonus pp for another race. Homes, is this a once off thingy or will you update the bonuses for every race? Can we accummulate them and then use them for a single race? I would smaak an addition 50 pp for nurburg ring. LOL

 

[worduphomes]

Hey Zuat.

Ummm, the bonus for tonight is a points bonus, not a pp bonus... You do still have a 7pp advantage that you can use at any race (except nurburg or the last race)...

My best is like 1:41.997 but I think my average lap time will be about 1:46ish, unless I can get some slipstream from someone fast.


Just hope I don't get disconnected again. During the week I have been disconnected loads and for me at least it has only become a problem since the latest 2 GT5 updates... I hope the planned maintenence to the GT5 servers is to fix disconnection issues.

 

[Carbonox]

1:42 class here, looking forward to a mid-class scramble again, if only Homes makes it this time in the race...

 

[Canudigthis]

Hey Homes... r we using your room tonight or Wills? My fastest is a 1:39 without a tow, but average pretty much what everyone else does. Going to be an exciting race! Watch 101.... he can run to the end without pitting, I think he has this one pretty much in the bag.

 

[bronzosback]

hi canu,

1.39 with what pp? if u can average 1.41 u will take driver i think.

 

[Canudigthis]

Hi Bronzo.... I did it while practicing with 101 the other night. 588pp The only way you'll beat driver is if you can break the tow, otherwise he'll sit behind you till you make your stop and then just keep going. Lol

 

[bronzosback]

team work, 1/2 nsx

 

[bronzosback]

i can really make my car fly on the straights, but corners... on 585pp i can run 530hp

 

[bronzosback]

server is currently undergoing maintenance.

 

[worduphomes]

We will use my room unless there are serious connection issues. This is going to be a great race!

Sounds like carbon and me are similar in pace so Im looking forward to a sauber / force india / Renault kind of midfield battle with him and any others who wanna join

 

[Canudigthis]

server is currently undergoing maintenance.

Nooit... then I'm going to miss the race, only getting home just before the race starts. Oh no

 

[Canudigthis]

i can really make my car fly on the straights, but corners... on 585pp i can run 530hp

530hp... wow that's some serious power Bronzo. Let's try for an NSX clean sweep, if I can race.

 

[bronzosback]

hi homes,
when will we race now that the server is down, when it comes back on tonight?

 

[Willfred_1]

same we might have to do the race tommorrow

 

[Canudigthis]

Later tonight or tomorrow, as long as we all get a chance to do the upgrade if there is one..... and as long as we all can make the new slot, or maybe it's better to run it next week??

 

[razzor]

hi guys.
what track are we running on this evening and who will be host ?
been busy so havent had a chance to check.
Missed last weeks event since we had a family function for Eid celebrations.
bus logging on now.

 

[Driver 101]

Hey razzor, its Monza bud

If this maintenance continues into our race time, I think we should do the race next week, pushing all following events out by a week.

Its a little unfair on the guys who haven't planned or cant make a Friday night race at short notice

 

[razzor]

dam was like this day before yesterday !

 

[Carbonox]

I have already prepared for the maintenance not being over quickly enough, so I'm at Vice City now... Hopefully we'll see again shortly, I don't like waiting for a long time.

 

[razzor]

well i will get some track time anyway.
need to get this Yellow hat handling better.

 

[zuat]

yo boys, we chatting via the net, anyways, how long will the maintenance last? We may have to have an inpromtu get together after the servers have done their thing. I will probably go and play resistance 3 until we get back online. Afer all our practice, this is a bit of a let down.

 

[razzor]

has there been any posts or indication of when the maintenance would be done ??

 

[Canudigthis]

I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms already..... I need my fix!

 

[zuat]

Oh Sure tge gt5 site is extremely heplful. Their combined intellectual answer is:
Maintenance in progress.
The link to Gran Turismo 5 is currently undergoing maintenance.
Please try connecting again when maintenance is complete.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Like, wtf kind of help is that.

 

[zuat]

Not winning tonight, tried to play resistance 3 online, just have to do this small 700mb DL. Why oh why could you not patch the disc with the update, I mean it came out yesterday.

http://eu.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/d31999.html

I think we should aim for sometime over the weekend???

What night is everyone free??? Friday, saturday or sunday?

 

[zuat]

Ok, thats a wee bit late to be starting a race. I will probably give tonight a miss then and race next week. Homes, we could consider a dbl header next week? Or perhaps as mentioned earlier in the thread, we just run the series a week later, so this week is a "week off" week. I cannot really commit to fridays as I normally have plans, mostly drinking plans, but plans non the less, tomorrow i will be at my mates spot in sasolburg, so this friday is out for me. Thursdays are ideal as they are a set aside GT night, if i aint busy with GT, then wilfred and I are normally playing battlefield
