Brilliant achievement Larry. Congratulations to you too Phillip.

Thanks Antony! 👍

Phillip is having Internet issues but there should be a room open for TFN hosted by one of the TFN members...hope to see you!

 

[geeTeye]

Sorry to hear about Phillip's internet woes but looking forward to joining the team tonight.

 

[geeTeye]

Who is hosting tonight?

 

[Bass Addict]

Who is hosting tonight?

Sorry Antony...it didn't come together today. I was recovering from dental work that lasted for 75 minutes!

By the time I got on, I didn't see any rooms either and the usual suspects were doing other things...

Hope to race with you again!

 

[NaketWookie]

Anthony and me have been in a lobby for about an hour. But after noone else showed up, i switched back to Netflix & Chill

 

[geeTeye]

I was recovering from dental work that lasted for 75 minutes!

Yikes Larry, hope all is well.
Not one person i know looks forward to a trip to the dentist. Hopefully we can catch up soon.
Cheers.

Not one person i know looks forward to a trip to the dentist.

I probably shouldn't have watched 'Little Shop of Horrors' the night before...

 

[Drummer79]

Hi fellas, been awhile. I know some of you gents run in the Nations, and Manufacturers Cup, any chance, any if you fellas have a uploaded replay of this season???? Let me know, would love to watch them. Till next time!!

 

[Drummer79]

[Bass Addict]

@Drummer79 Nice! I'll take two...

 

[dranddad]

As requested I've set up three different race types for tfn,.

A little sporty number on the streets
A head to head with a little dust thrown in.
And a blast in group 700 with Bop and racing hards..

With time permitting we can VGT it or something else.

Look forward to seeing you join in.

 

[GTP_Nail]

Hi guys... I’ve been out of pocket...damn near incapacitated due to tripping over my dog while carrying spaghetti in one hand and a great wine glass full of a superb California white. Rather than breaking myfall I tried to save the dinner...lol. So I’ll be racing again eventually!

 

[Pigpin13]

Is anyone going to be around today to race? I’m off work today

 

[Bass Addict]

Is anyone going to be around today to race? I’m off work today

I think so...in about 50 minutes or so.

 

[NaketWookie]

I think so too :-)

 

[Pigpin13]

Good night of fun. I’ve missed hanging out with you guys.

[DGiant2000]

Hi All,

just popping in to say hello! It's been a long time since I've been properly involved in the GT community due to various reasons but with the upcoming release of GT7 and a brand new PS5 under the tree, it's time for me to dust off the wheel and get back into the swing I think. I'm going to take some time to sharpen up my skills again and get rid of the rust and hopefully I can join you at some point for a last bit of racing on GTSport before the big one hits!

Andy

 

[dranddad]

You know you're always welcome Andy.

We've not been so active on a Thursday of late, opposite of supply and demand. It was going a little quiet but, with GT7 maybe things will pick up again, as past new game show that is always the case.

Phillip.

Hope the family are all well

A little challenge

Fuji Short track On-Line only.​

Revived this from the dark, now the winter is here, stuck for something to test oneself. Want to improve your smoothness, make your fuel/tire last longer.

Any Group 3 @ fuji fuel 3x / tyres 12x which was an FIA race @ Fuji short, but with a twist.

One set of tyres Racing Soft, 15 laps, BoP on, all laps under 1'40.000. on line

If you lose the back end or go off, you may not make the 1'40.000 so be smooth.

Here is mine, had just a bit of N/S tyre left

As you can see above from the screenshot all lap times are under 1'40.000 Tyre wear, laps remaining, and fuel percentage shows this can be done.

If you choose to accept this challenge (Ethan hunt) it will self destruct after 5 seconds, so please pause after crossing the finish line, take a screenshot and post your victory.

If your on-line and you've run your race then wondering what to do next, what better time, you can (not tried) have a number on track at the same time, so long as you're well spaced out so as not to have draft. Or you could watch from the viewing lounge and give encouragement, or apply pressure to he/she or them doing the challenge, just have fun with it.

Enjoy.

Edit: This is open to all if you wish to have a go. Please post your victory screenshot for all to see.

 

[DGiant2000]

Thanks Phillip, we're all good given the circumstances!

Looks like an interesting challenge, although I'd struggle to get under 1'40 on a one off lap at the moment I reckon

I'm currently running old WRS events to improve my times and also give me a benchmark to work towards. Once I'm more confident, I'll give this a go. Which car did you use? I'm thinking some are better at looking after the tyres than others!

 

[dranddad]

I used the Jaguar as that is what I was using in that FIA race, you can pick any, your favorite or one you think would be very good on fuel/tyre.

It's not hard, I gave 2 seconds extra as we all have different abilities, so I wasn't trying to make it too hard to complete. More an exercise in tyre and fuel management. Plus turning consistent laps.

Enjoy, you may find it a little frustrating at first, stick at it you will do it.

Andy, we do have regular nights practicing FIA events, they would be much more beneficial to you than old WRS events, we do get rusty, pace, race craft and so on, just join us anytime. also a good laugh too as there not much to laugh about these days.

 

[DGiant2000]

I’ll definitely check it out mate. 4 more days to avoid infection and survive and I’ll have a bit more playing time!

 

[dranddad]

Stay safe.
