So far yes, unless we get overflow

Last week or week before someone posted the replays for the tyro race. I think it was Whitlock or cueball I'm not sure. If it was one of you guys will you post tonight's race replay If not to much trouble so I could watch it. Thanks
Good luck and have fun.

I did okay. I normally can't keep a car on the track, but I had pole position and finished 3rd overall. May have had 2nd but I spun out for no reason (even checked the replay) with 2 laps to go when I was within striking distance of 2nd place. Still good for me though

Anyone racing today?

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

I'll get those replays uploaded here in a little bit. Don't know what all happened in race 1, but race 2 was pretty intense.

 

[martin_ky]

6 hours at Watkins Glen GP finish 2 tenths apart. Great race!

Sorry. Couldn't get the replay uploaded. My laptop insisted on installing an update and I had to go to work. I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday, will try to get it uploaded sometime, if someone doesn't do it before me. Race 2 was the most fun I've ever had. I was basically battling someone up until lap 14 or 15. I went back and watched the replay, from lap 8 up to 14 it looked like a 2 car train. Same lines, same braking points. At one point I think we switched gears the exact same time the entire lap. I'll get the replay uploaded and if anyone has some free time, watch it. It looks amazing from the camera angles.

Here are the links for the Tyro races yesterday.

I haven't got to see the replays, but both my races were mostly bumper to bumper battles with RacingOtaku. Lots of fun, and very intense.

Thanks for the replays cueball. Whoever does the Race Schedule, can we get it up asap so I can plan my schedule around it. Couldn't make it yesterday but I'd like to attend as many races as possible.

Thank you in advance.

Good idea. People will (or should be) to busy with their families to race. Plus the GT6 demo comes out tomorrow and I'm sure people will be eager to mess around with it as well

 

[Whitlock9mm]

I'm a bum, so I'll be practicing/racing.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

What happened to you in the race? You where running really good in practice

 

[MBOBB1969]

If you guys want you can do a pickup race or something along those lines.
I'm not sure how many people will be able to make it. I know I might be on Tuesday but as far as the weekend goes I have family coming in from out of town so I wont be able to make any races this weekend.

Where do I get the GT6 demo?

That's me Whitlock. I'll be practicing a lot for the good bit. How'd you do Saturday night?

 

[MBOBB1969]

You will be able to download it from the PS store. It should be available on Tuesday at some point.

I don't know the results haven't been posted, I think I did OK.

I do fine during practice, but as soon as there's other drivers about I get super worried about hitting someone so I slow down. So I don't cause an incident.

If you're worried about getting into other people while racing, try doing A spec with a car that will do even with the AI and practice going around corners without hitting them. I was that way when I first started too. Scared to death I was going to hit someone, but I eventually got comfortable with racing around everyone, and learned the braking point to the tracks we do so I know when to start backing off the gas to keep from slamming into someone on curves.

If ya want, I may hop online tonight after my kids go to sleep, and I'll let you work on driving 2 wide around corners and stuff. You can hit or slam into me all you want until you get it right.

How strict are we on contact between racers? (BTW I think your "1st turn rule" is awesome!) I mean if someones slowpoking on my line I wouldn't put'em into the wall but...I will get inside and push them out if I have to. After all rubbin's racing ain't it? Also if anyone does start a pickup race or just wants to practice I'm down message me here or on PSN my ID is BustedFoSho

No rubbing in this league. Taps happen, even in real motorsport, but our "gentleman's rules " work well. I raced for 4 hours Saturday and was only touched by another car once. "It Is up to the overtaking driver to make the pass cleanly, and without incident". No-one will ever "slowpoke " your line as it's not yours until your bumper is past their back tire, thus establishing two lines. Hold your line through the turn from there, just like in real life. The turn one rule is amazing and I find myself using it even when not in the league. Hope this helps!
