I am new to gtplanet and would like to join your league if possible. I know it is late in the season, so if I can join, I'll take a red car, chrome wheels, and Number 77 if possible. If not possible, Ill take anything. My psn is epic491.

Sorry for the error, but if you could send the request to epicness491 instead of epic491, it would be greatly appreciated. I own both but only use epicness491. Also, black car, orange wheels, and #6 please.

Last night was probably the most frustrating race I've done in GT5. Makes me realize that I've got no business driving a Race Car without TCS on 1 in GT5.
I think I may have to move over and try to focus on the Enduro Series instead to build some skill up. Maybe with those being more of the "road car" variety, it will be more suited for me. I can not even imagine what I'd do in the Ferrari F10 coming up. I have one, but I've never tried it.

Overall, last night, pit strategy seemed to be very important to all, and one of my most frustrating laps was when I hesitated to enter the pits and skipped it, on just about dead rear tires. I'm sure my lap around 1:06:00 is pure comedy. I was all but done with the race at that point, and almost parked the car in the pits, only to turn out my 2 fastest back to back laps following that pit stop

Anyway, maybe I'll catch up with you guys tonight in Enduro!

The FLEX Racing Series exists to be more challenging and offer more flexibility than the Enduro Racing Series. Our philosphy in the Enduro Racing Series is to put a fun car on a fun track. It is literally that simple. In the FLEX Racing Series our philosophy is to make it a challenge. I am glad you didn't quit, and I am guessing you are as well. 👍

Just wanted to drop in and formally state my withdrawl from the group. I don't have time to participate in the series anymore.

Hey parabulla, it was great racing with you. If you see a race that is interesting and you want to participate in it you are always welcome to join us. 👍

It's good you went the whole race, a good learning experience. In my opinion F1 cars are easier to handle then LMP and Group C. They have more downforce and less torque. The hardest part is relearning cornering speed and braking points after getting out of an F1.

That's unfortunate, hopefully we will see you at practice on Tuesday.

Race Recap
This week was a very challenging 24hr simulation enduro lasting 2 hours. The scenery while driving at sunset/sunrise and during the night was amazing. The Audi R10 was a bit of a handful to say the least, especially at night. Great job to everyone who participated.👍 This race was all TX_Executioner, from beginning to end. He ran a very fast and consistant race. Great job. 👍 Psycho-Tuber ran a great race as well remaining very consistant and clean the whole 2 hours. Another great performance! 👍 The rest of the field had its ups and downs, but the racing remain courteous and when given the oportunity there were some good battles. Great job to everyone on probably one of the hardest races to date in TRL.
