Deepest apologies as well, my sister had decided to start downloading stuff... She knows I race on Thursday nights...

I'm not sure what being decided by the 3-4 remaining drivers but if you continue, I hope all goes well.
 
no worries continue without me, make sure to save replays and get the results through to me please.

I'll spend the rest of tonight doing a few things in relation to the rest of the series.
 
And the fudging around continues, I'm no longer hosting as Ben & MT have jumped to conclusions and are starting their own room to let Elvis join even though we could have sorted the problem out in the original room. Some people would like to be finished before Christmas here!! ;)
 
Ben is hosting

I'm sorry for bailing, I just couldn't put up with the lag and couple that with tonight's drama and my qualy session went wrong. I'd rather be happy tonight than being moody.

Starting to practice at Tsukuba. Qualy will be absolutely key here to succeed there, so my hoodoo with Qualy better end, and end there. I'm going into 'The Finals' with high expectations, especially after my Grand Valley showing.
 
Hope all is well soks mate, sending you positivity!!!

And well done Ben mate on the round win!, thoroughly deserved, you test and prac like a pro so it was only a matter of time!, very happy to have you in the alfa squad and also, for it to be the first weekend with the new wheel and manual, is actually pretty bloody impressive mate! keep it up little bro!
 
I think that you should make weather a strong variable at the next few races. We've gone all season without rain so I think it is high time we see some at Tsukuba, Suzuka and/or Bathurst!

Well we are heading into the final stretch of this series, with only 4 rounds remaining. 'The Finals' kick off this week with the Top 6 drivers all fighting to be the 2014 Track Stars Touring Car Champion! We didnt have a good turnout last week due to a number of factors but hopefully things will be improved this week.

Club

As a result of the recent game update, we now have the ability to create clubs. I elected to wait until after the Grand Valley race before establishing the club, but we are now online in the Gran Turismo 6 community. This weeks and all future races will now be held within the club lobbies. Hopefully this may improve the connection stabilities as well as improving procedure in the worst case scenarios. I ask everyone to join the club so they can take part in the races!

Track Limits

The track limits are open again this week.

Schedule

7:30PM AEDT (Approx.) - Room Opens
7:50PM AEDT - All cars to track
8:00PM AEDT - Qualifying Begins
8:10PM AEDT - Race 1 Starts

Good Luck everyone and safe racing!
 
Mercedes-Benz Motorsport isn't Happy

Mercedes-Benz Motorsport isn't happy about Tsukuba. A spokesperson said, "The technical team at M-B Motorsport is not happy about the decision to race at Tsukuba, the track is too small and too short. We have had to consider testing a TCS package for the first time and have had to run awkward setups. Couple that with limited running time and we are in trouble. If certain events continue behind-the-scenes, we will consider pulling out."

Dude . . . you know we do this for fun and enjoyment . . . right?? Just come and have a run . . .
I know... just sneakily bumping the thread while making the next race interesting. I honestly love Tsukuba, probably one of the most challenging tracks we've gone to. Anyway, in other news, I won't be able to race tomorrow as I'll be prepping my kart for my final race of the year. However, I do have a replacement in the form of one of my friends using my account, treat her well, I'm sure you will!
 
One of my favorite days of the week, RACE DAY!

I just found out that the speedway meeting next week will see my class do Time trials at the start of the night, so the next 2 weeks will be a good chance to brush up my skills in setting that fast lap under pressure, before I start doing qualifying in the real world!
 
I really want to swear... I got chauffeur duties again, probably won't be home in time
Well not turning up at all would be better than my replacement! ;) :P In all seriousness though, she is only at a 1:00.00 when I was at a 53.3, but hey, it is her first time so it'll interesting for you guys to have a girl either touching you's up or being lapped! Have fun tonight, wish I could be there, good luck to all the racers, Tsukuba will be one for the highlight reel!
 
Well . . . that's Tsukuba done . . . thanks for the gift Itz . . . couldn't make it stick though . . . MT pressured me then took the win . . . I stopped to give you your spot back . . . good fun racing lads! (and lady), (if indeed it was?) - Got to do practise . . . bloody hard just turning up and trying to match it with you guys!! Ah well Suzuka here we come . . . away racing this weekend, pitcrewing for a mate, last duties for the year . . . so maybe time to get some practise in! Great racing everyone . . . good clean battles and good comraderie!! Great Series ITz - Well Done! Cheers Phil
 
Was a great night, unfortunately I cost myself the round trying to help give Fullgas a few extra points!

In the end it was my own fault for messing around like I did. I thought that because I had given Fullgas a couple laps in the lead I'd take the lead back before MT passed both of us, but I stuffed it in the grass and nearly wiped all 3 of us out! Oh well, it was still good fun!

Thanks to Elvis for the good racing at the start of race 3, I was trying to get past without disadvantaging you and just couldn't manage it. And then you binned it when I didn't run into you! I'm sure you would have had the win if it wasn't for that!

Looking forward to Suzuka next week, should have all results posted in the next day or so, along with standings and a drivers briefing.
 
i honestly didnt understand what was happening with you and gas at the front swapping positions, i thought either you had a phone call or tyres went to hell... sorry if i ruined something! but i was not aware!

great fun round, and the off track entertainment was something else!

It's not Mrs. NW48, Just a friend, I'm not even the legal age to marry someone. Anyway, in unfortunate news, I am pulling out as I'm sick of people saying it was me and not a replacement, which it was, this was the final straw in a long range of things that have sadly seen me doubt myself and feel unwanted, until then, may I wish everyone in this series good luck for the championship and thank you for all the help, praise and exhilarating, close racing. I'm disappointed that it ended this way, but that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. Thanks again everyone!
 
hey ITZ, as of the new changes, in the way of Qualifying for every race. im guessing those results in 2nd/3rd Qualifying are not coming into play (points) in the future mate?

yes great racing. cant believe i was running 5xx in power and the perfect set up. then someone pulls me up on it to change to 600, and it through the car out of whack, as in the setting i used all week down the drain. although the car was fast, cant complain about that. and my fault for no oil change, talk about a noob!

well done to everyone, every single driver last week was FAST, and in my eyes, it came down to silly little mistakes, example: grass :D

yes, 3rd race ITZ, i held on buddy, i think me heart rate was up around 150BPM! then the pressure got to me, im not going to lie. i know i was fast, but for gods sake Elvis, stay on the bloody track mate!

im actually pissed off i never saved that 3rd race, all i wanted to watch was those first 2 laps of 3rd race and i will never get to watch it now :irked: those 2 laps were fun as.

NW, not sure really what to say, but good luck to you to. cheers.

Well she told me just to call her NW, so I thought it would be a light hearted inclusion into the results, being a lady friend, but obviously not. You may need to reassess your choice of friends though as she called you a grumpy tart after she supposedly looked at the GTPlanet forums...

I'm going to stick with not giving a point for pole position in race 2 and 3 mainly because it has not been part of the series all year and its just an unfortunate problem as part of the club function.

Lucky it did get mentioned to you, you were flying after that!

It was definitely a close race meeting, I think there was only 6-8 tenths covering the field for the 2nd qualifying session.
 
Elvis mate as soon as you and gas have a good run we are all gonna have to up the game i think... VERY good drivers, fast as hell!, rather unlucky at the moment ha ha ha but sheeeeeeeesh everyone is so bloody fast now is amazing!!

Next years series is gonna be sooooooo competitive am REALLY looking forward to it! :)

but for now i think i will maybe focus on trying to take this title from Itz! ;) and soks, elvis, gas, crow... LOL jesus its not an easy ask aye!? BLOODY good comp!

i am smiling this much :D at the task at hand!.

El i will see if there is someway to send you the race 2 replay, was a good one!!
