Wow....You guys have been doing this for 3****in years!!!! That's like eternity in internet years 👍 yall some diehards thas fosho. I've been in a handful of online clubs, clans & leagues. The longest was my prior, Kingdoms Of Camelot. A stupid point/click app that started on FB and jumped to Kongregate in 1 year. After playing as savvy as 1 cud for 3mos I realized that the game really was "free to play" but you had to pay to win But you know I continued to play that exhausting game DAILY for 15 more months because of the people. They had become my close friends, like family. When it came time to leave move on w/e I struggled against it because I knew what I had was already gone. Sure as hell wasn't gonna stick around for love of that game and though KoC doesn't even remotely compare to GT5. I know all to well what Ph1sher & probably some others of you are feeling (especially after 3 years I'm still trying to get my head around that). I went back into the old Praetorian Guard chat last month and folks were still playing and the clan still lives They control a whole lot less lands and the battles not quite as EPIC as when I was playing I lament over the way it all ended. When we began to split and group up elsewhere. Things were said. Egos got bruised and feelings hurt. Shouldn't have gone down like that. I guess my point is.... ON top of my head, good thing I wear a helmet joking aside you should all be proud of what you built here and enjoy this little thing of yours, ours the TURTLES.

Thanks Socks Uhh hey is the server down for maintenance or did I get banned ?
I never could get the HKS racing controller to connect to PS3. Works on my PC maybe I should try it on my XBOX. I went to GameStop today for some immediate gratification and I got the universal HD component cable that the stupid Chinese Mall never sent me! and I found some trigger extenders (L2/R2) and some silicone joystick caps for my trusty DS3. It's not a wheel but it feels awesome to these old arthritic XBOX hands. I can finally relax because those buttons reach out to my fingers like lil pillows of gamer love. If you race with a DS3 you need to try these! Oh! and now I can read ALL the text on my screen, not just the big stuff.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Definitely agree with busted. Hell, I played racing games on xbox for 6 years with the same group of guys from pgr 4 to grid to race pro then to forza.. We all have each others phone numbers and talk regularly, send birthday cards and Christmas presents. They're like family to me. I would consider most here good friends. Haven't been around long enough, but there's potential!! LoL

 

[BustedFoSho]

Busted, since ur grinding if you cut the esse's after the first chican you can gain a ton of time that way. I do that and run my pp at 575 and I run 1.44 laps doing that. Nets me 3.1 mil. Every 12:33 mins. This is the only track I grind on right now.

Thats Spanish for crazy.
Good morning
I will be in Turtle Town tonight at 8:00pm est for practice.
Hope to see some of you there.

Hey guys. I hadn't been on the Turtle threads for awhile (I hadn't posted in the Enduro thread, so I wasn't subscribed to it, and the others I had posted in haven't been updated in forever), but I'm still around and would love to continue racing. So from what I gather, these races will be taking place Saturday evenings. My question is at what time are they taking place and which lounge? And I'm sort of confused by the schedule as well. It's Motegi this week, correct? Are we even running the Benz at all?

Does anyone know where Psycho disappeared to? I always enjoyed racing with him and appreciated his dedication to keeping the series going.

 

[micantony]

Psycho is wandering the desert in central Texas trying to recover from his peyote induced psychosis. At least, that's what i heard.

Hey dolph long time no see. Yeah we're racing the Benz. It'll be the last race of the four. It's a fun car to drive on cape ring. It's got some snap oversteer but with a small correction she'll snap right back in line. The landing can get a little squarlly at. Cape ring sometimes but that's one thing that makes it fun there.

If phish doesn't have time to post all four races today in order I'll do it tonight so there's no confusion. I think phish is a busy young man.
He's been dirt track racing I think on the weekends too.Doing pretty well at to I believe.

And dolph how bout getting in touch with Wins, he sold his rig and is going to be using a controller for the first time in awhile. Poor little thing might need some leadership and guidance to try and keep it together the whole race.

I don't think central Texas has a desert. I'm pretty sure it's southern Texas and western Texas.

Actually I think I'm doing alright. I'm leading my division in the WRS by .093 and that's with only trying it for about a hour. That's about on par with what I did on the g27. I'll know more about how I'm doing when people start putting in more time and I do some races.

Do you have to have a GTP tagged PSN account to race in the WRS?

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Do you have to have a GTP tagged PSN account to race in the WRS?

Yea. You also have to run the qualifier to get placed in a division for the race and time trials. It's actually great fun doing the time trials.

When I made my gtp account I used that program that cueball has to make myself level 15 a spec and 30 b spec so I could do the qualifier and break in cars with the enduro races. I also gave myself 1 of every car so I wouldn't ever be out if I wanted to have a go.

Ill post the schedule tonight. Yes I've been very busy with work and racing..I had to fix my car today (dirt racing) I was coming off turn 2 in the lead and 38J got on my inside and got on my rear end and spun me by now I'm in the infield and I over corrected myself going side ways back on the track and 38J slammed right into my car broke the cage of the car, broke the stick shift of my car..and steal damaged. Though I fixed the steel and bought a new cage today and got that on. Just have to fix the gears and the stick shift now..

You want me to go pay 38J a visit muss up his hair a lil bit? Can't keep a real racer like you down forever Ph1sh. You drive your own car, you repair your own car. You probably built your own car. That kind of dedication to your sport shows what your made of. Stay on 'em and the W's will start rolling in 👍 and then the sponsors and the cash will follow. Thanks for making time to get the schedule written. You rock and 38J sucks :censored:aty balls and a nod to Socket for w/e he did LOL j/k you both rock.

Did MBOBB throw down tonight?

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Phisher probably rear ended 38J on the first curve and he was getting even.

Inside joke for you all.

thanks busted! I can't race tommorow tonight because the gear ratio is still jacked up because of the stick shift.. but oh well. Hopefully I get more sponsors in the future but for now I got a couple sponsors and like 2 wins this season. Thanks busted again, was kind of happy I was able to type out a 4 race schedule for turtle again. See you all this Saturday!

nope

 

[Dolph Drago]

Thanks for posting the schedule. 👍 What time does the first race start and which Turtle lounge?

I SHOULD be able to race this weekend. Of course, I'm having car issues of my own, though it isn't from real racing. I got hand controls installed on my car about 2 1/2 weeks ago and ran into some problems with them yesterday. So today we dropped the car off to be fixed and it's hopefully supposed to be ready to be picked up Friday. I won't be a happy camper if it isn't ready by then. But then again, I don't even know if they are open Saturday, so I guess I wouldn't miss the racing that evening if they aren't. Sorry for the tangent. Just looking to get back to some Turtle racing.

 

[johnsom]

Hi everyone,

I just want to let you guys know that I sort of watching this thread progress...

Quick updates about my racing... I already packed away my DF GT and currently using ds3. I played GT Academy a bit but I realized I am not getting any faster. I switched to playing Killzone 3, some NBA 2k13 and I just bought Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City to prepare for the Arkham Origins.

Turtle Racing is the first and only league I joined since I registered in GTplanet... I really like the sportsmanship and courtesy of each drivers. I miss racing and I am quite saddened knowing that the other series will not continue due to understandable circumstances.

Here I am... raising my hand to say I am still here to participate to keep Turtle Racing alive.

By the way... anyone knows what happened to Psycho? Shred?

 

[johnsom]

Ok... I MAY be able to attend this saturday's race if the live tennis match that I will be watching on saturday finishes early...

 

[Ph1sh]

Good to hear johnsom!! Shred is still around though..but psycho is gone..we don't know. Hopefully you will join us this Saturday for the races!

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

TENNIS!??!? You better make it... I have killzone 3 also but I haven't played it yet. I was thinking about trading it in at GameStop to get the collection of 1-2-3. I really want to play the last of us. Coming to the ps3 scene so late, there are a lot of games I wanna play. God of war series, uncharted, heavy rain and a few others. Not to mention diablo 3, gta 5, and gt6 coming out soon.

huh? TENNIS? Americans haven't been doing well in that sport for about the last decade. Who was the last American tennis champion? Thanks now I have to oogle it dam search engine sucking my will for knowledge now I don't have to remember anything I just oogle it. I actually seem quite dull in person unless I have a handheld (dam technology!) Oh, back on point. Welcome back Dolph Drago & johnsom. Hey we almost have enough to fill the lounge this Saturday!

 

[GTP_randy]

I apologize for not making it to practice lastnight guys. I had some issues at home last night that lasted up into the night.
Hope it went well. The G37 is a nice ride.

 

[johnsom]

Good to hear johnsom!! Shred is still around though..but psycho is gone..we don't know. Hopefully you will join us this Saturday for the races!

Races still start at 10pm right? Are we still doing 2 races? If we are and I can't make it before the first race starts, then I will join the 2nd race.

Hey Wins... I only played the campaign in KZ3. It was really short and only took me about 6-7 hours approx on normal difficulty. I used to play a lot of modern warfare and I might play again when the new call of duty comes out this fall. I still have GofW3 sealed.. no time to play it. The Last of Us got me intrigued... I will buy it some other time.

I have 2 toddlers at home so I can only play games that doesn't require long hours or require focus but for some reason, they respect and don't bother me whenever I am racing or playing GT5

BustedFoSho... I play a lot of tennis during the summer joining leagues and tournaments here and there. I am here in Toronto and unfortunately Canadian tennis is worse than US Tennis. There's not a lot of tennis camps as most sports centre invest in hockey arenas. The Rogers Cup is being held this week and I have a ticket to see 1 women's semi finals match followed by Pete Sampras vs McEnroe (this is the reason I bought the ticket).

I look forward to see you on track this saturday! What lounge are we playing again?
