@Jamie duerden OMG!!! You should be able to get your saved game data back from the server as @dranddad suggested (provided you have PS+) if not then that's a major oops!

I’ve overwritten it

 

[dranddad]

Jamie if you go to Application saved data management then download saved data it's all gone from the server. oh crap.

Think I'll have to download it to a flash drive for safekeeping.
Just saving mine now to USB device for safekeeping.

Yeah I’ve tried that and googled it to death to see if there is another way but nothing I can do, I’m in mourning

Welcome trc

 

[dranddad]

Wish we could gift cars like before

PM sent.

 

[Pigpin13]

I’ll be there tonight. I may have to cut out a little early for school. Looking forward to the controlled chaos.

GoodWood endurance race.

Room settings.

Practice/Qualifier/Endurance race time 50 minutes

Car Renault Sport Clio V6 24V on sport hard tyres all settings are default.

Power ratio 100% / weight ratio 100% 229bhp @ 1335Kg.


As tyre and fuel management is all part of real-life racing (real scenario)

Tyre wear is 10x | Fuel depletion 8x you will need to manage these on the fly in the race.

Mechanical damage Heavy. This must be fixed at the end of that Lap (as you would in real life) same with tyre punchers or other which would require a trip to the pits.

Track regulations

Short cut and side contact will be on, all others will be off.

Tuning is Prohibited.

Car drives beautiful, tyres go on and on and on.

Top tip for this race, Keep it on the Track.

As this is about the easiest endurance race going, I’ve made it so you do have to manage your wear and damage, room open at 19:00 for free practice (god I hate them two words together) and a pre Qualifier. Set for 19:50gmt.

In practice, I’ve done this with a 3 stop a 2 stop and a one 1 stop managing fuel, which is best on time, god knows I didn’t look at that, don’t want to spoil all the fun.

Good luck hope you enjoy.

Well here it is.

Room ID 0475-4124-8155-6934-7652
Room name Thursday fun night @ GTPlanet TFN Endurance.

Please read the Race Regulations above.

Room is open if you want to do any tire/fuel management before race time.

What a brilliant evening again. Congrats to Chris for the win and thanks to Jamie for running out of juice just before the line.
Brilliant idea as always Phillip.

 

[NaketWookie]

Yeah that was really good fun.
Well done lads!

 

[Jamie duerden]

Your welcome Anthony, and to the others who passed me as well , was great fun, hope Bo is still alive too

 

[dranddad]

First-class, well-done Wookie, geeTeye, Argon for the podium places, and Rampuss for the fastest lap.

So glad Jamie made it last night after his catastrophe. Apologies to Bo for starting a little earlier than advertised, I was trying to help Antony being 2+ hours in front not finish too late.

--------------------------​

Colour (color) me well impressed. when I picked this combo I thought it would be a nice easy one to start with, but I'm sure you all felt it the first time you changed tyres, just how much control and fineness was needed to keep it on the track, not having bucket loads of power RS or even RSS tyres to get you out of the chit and still race.

The track rules, I was well expecting to hear the words oh-no, trip to the pit to repair damage every lap, how wrong was I. From 12 months ago to now the standard now is astonishing. Glad you all enjoyed it, makes all the hours testing to bring you interesting combos well worth it, I'm sure some combos will fall flat but that's the law of averages.

Last word to Terry and Joe.

10/10 sir you stuck with it, please don't let it put you off coming next week and the week after, you jumped in at the deep end this week, if you had time to stick around after the race you would have seen what TFN is all about.

The guys will help you get quicker and enjoy a full fun night with us.

Nice to have you join us Joe, I hope you too enjoy our FUN nights. We have some mad combos mixed in with, shall we say more sain races.

And a big THANKS to Larry giving his free time with help testing.

 

[Trc76]

Had a great time lots of laughs.
Hope I didn’t get in anybody’s way.
Thanks again Phillip for the fun.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Take it easy fellas.

I really enjoyed the race next one I will have more time and a microphone.
Thanks again Phillip and have a good day,or night it’s 5 am here.

I would like to suggest, if we are going to continue to run the crazy race at Red Bull, everyone should color code their cars. For this you would need two Nissan GTR 17’s. Paint one white and one black. Same for Abarth 1500. Also, if you change the color chip, we can set the grid up in the lobby.

Fastest lap!!! I know you won by 30 seconds Chris but you need to up your game mate lol

 

[dranddad]

A very impressive grid.

​

Thank Larry for saving the replay hope everyone enjoyed the race, it was not short on action but was way too short on accidental damage, one thing I was counting on using fuel map 6 and a one-stop, no one was pitting for repairs.

Fantastic evening gents, looking forward to the 27th February for round 2 at Fuji Gr3 + BoP

 

[dranddad]

Joe's Kartoons Saturday morning. Odd pictures.

A long reverse burn-out

Heat ozone from burn-out

Joe's car caught in the burn-out

A three-way split

Left to right, Larry (nick-name sparky) Joe Mr squeezy and me Mr bashfull hiding.

Side window view, I see you there 1st and 3rd

You can bank on this is fun

If not we can re-build

 

[Bass Addict]

Just want to leave the details here for a future combo...

Toyota Sports S 800 '65
Maggie - Center

You will need to upgrade the car to HP - 105 (242%) & WT - 1726 (135%)
Sports Hard Tires
10 laps

This was a recent Sport Mode Daily Race 'A' and should be good fun in our group! 👍

 

[dranddad]

I had a look at this Larry, I think that BoP sets the car to those settings too, maybe you can look at it if so you can use BoP for the room.

Great little combo, should be very close racing. 👍👍

That will work Phillip!
