This could be interesting...

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

Ouch, this could make or break the points for this series...haha

 

[Stotty]

I don't even own that car... what's it like?

 

[Timppaq]

fun.

 

[HaylRayzor]

fun.

That which is fun for Timppaq is truly frightening to mere mortals.

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

It is quite frightening on S2's.....haven't tried it with any R tires though.

 

[Suede53]

It is quite frightening on S2's.....haven't tried it with any R tires though.

It's quite a bit better with R3's but all that torque and low speed corners make for an "interesting" drive. I'm having trouble seeing my splits through all the smoke. At least the AI isn't too bad in this one.

 

[Palleraa]

Is it too late to join the Torc 15 event now?

 

[Tosk]

SUBMITTING REPLAYS
Can everyone please make sure that when you send in your replay, that you DO NOT rename the folder that the replay data is in.
For example when you copy the replay to your USB stick, the address will be something like what is below.

PS3/SAVEDATA/BCES00104-RPLY2-F001/(5 files contained in this folder)

It is important that the last folder (BCES00104-RPLY2-F001) is not renamed. If it is renamed, watching the replay will be near impossible. If you are still unsure about doing this, please let me know.

 

[Tosk]

Wayne - Ballet, what's wrong with Ballet? lol How is the car handling?

Flinx - Not good news about with the Flu there mate, get better soon.

Godson - No worries mate, just remember this one might take some time to get a good run, that reminds me, I better hurry up and bank a time...

Palleraa - Why not mate, just please ensure you read all the rules in the sign up thread to avoid any confusion

I am finally up to date with all the replay watching, now time for me to give this combo a shot!

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

I finally got a decent time last night, but it was a very frustrating first lap. Definitely a challenge.

 

[Tosk]

RacingFreak2k3 - Very frustrating is so true, I was so happy to just get a clean run, but now I have to try and improve it...

I gave this a go.

Hopefully sent you all the necessary info correctly.

 

[Mr P]

Time and replay submitted I aint holding my breath on this one for a good result as I only got 2 sessions in at the weeks start and have been on the WRS opener ever since going crazy in the same bloomin car haha

Good luck to all in the results
Cheers
Ron.


edit: Sorry Tosk I think I submitted my race time with an extra minute included I submitted a 3'xx.xxx and it should have been a 2'xx.xxx .. sorry about that mate

 

[Kelly]

Time and replay submitted, didn't spend very long on this

 

[doggyollie]

Time Submitted I am very happy with my time. I think there is some more time there, but I don't have it in me to spend much more time on this.

This couldn't have been more opposite than the last event, which is a change for the good

 

[Tosk]

OT - I know what you mean, it was a twitchy witch of a car.

Not much time spent on this one seems to be a common comment...

DEADLINE in 35 minutes

[Stotty]

Wow, that's a surprise... I'd never driven the car before this race (I had to go buy it) and then to compound this I've been away on business all week so only had a couple of hours last Sunday afternoon to do my runs. I did immediately get a feel for the car though and I also got an AI line up I liked straight away (golf, lancia, integra, elise, clio).... once I worked out how to pass the elise before the right at the bottom of the hill I knew my laps were fairly good... but I NEVER even considered the possibility of winning... chuffed

Less than 2 10ths covering the top 3 is pretty close racing!

 

[WayneGTC]

Congrats to all pilots

Sorry I didn't had time to really compete on this pleasant one but sometimes work is like that.

Just did one hour on this and submitted my first and only clean race... Too bad as this was a really funny one and I love eiger...

hope to have more time on next one.
Well done all 👍

 

[Tosk]

Congrats Stotty, awesome time mate. Looking forward to watching your race.

WayneGTC - That's not a bad time, you spent about the same time as me on the race & beat me my 5 seconds...

 

[Mr P]

Well done Stotty .. Just edged us out and grabbed a very deserved win mate Congrats to Mr Unagi for the remaining podium place also 👍
.2 between the top 3 is a great result all round .. Nice one!

Congrats to all others who got a clean race as this had a few tricky moments on lap 1

Cya's at Fuji guys and good luck to all taking part

Thanks... means a lot coming from one as fast as yourself! Can't believe just how close our lap times were.

Not so sure I'll do as well this week... away with work from tomorrow, so only have tonight to get my laps in... the 512 is one of my favourite cars in GT5P though, so I'll be having fun

 

[doggyollie]

Stotty & Mr P great work. Any chance you could work together on uploading the winning replay, I would like to see how/where you guys are so quick?

 

[Mr P]

Hi Doggy, If Stotty has no way to make a video of his replay then I will make a video for him no problem 👍 .. he only has to send me the replay and I will get it posted the same day hopefully

Lets see if he has the means to do it himself first .. from memory I'm pretty sure he can?

 

[Stotty]

Video?? Err, no, but if you send me your address (via PM) I can send you the replay on e-mail easily enough.

Or Tosk can send it to you as he'll already have both my replay and your e-mail address.

I'd be happy to have it critiqued by the other racers

Do you have some program that can extract/convert the PS3 file to a valid video file or are you just replaying it on the PS3 through a capture card?
