The nickname of the football (soccer) team I support is the spiders so I have to enter this.

My spider is some kind of orange...can't remember the correct name.

 

[CC570]

sign me up please. color is black.

 

[johnnynebraska]

Jack, your signature makes a lot more sense now - thank you. I too play for the sake of playing! (Not much of a Scottish football follower though - Newcastle United are my boys)

Watermelon, I can't sign up quickly enough for this event - I absolutely love this car. I'm in with the usual British Racing Green.

 

[jackargent]

that'll be santa fe orange

 

[Lexi Walker]

put me in that! btw you wanna use one of my custom tracks for the 2nd race? just asking
and i still got to re-paint my car

the track:

 

[watermelon punch]

If you keep that shared, I will definitely test drive it the next chance I get!

it's shared go ahead and try it!

 

[watermelon punch]

Oh I will for sure don't you worry. I love custom tracks.
(But I also share my ps3 and do not have free reign with it. It's occupied atm.)

And I should've mentioned that I did paint my car finally. It was Electric Orange, but I don't want to show up with a similarly painted car as Jackargent.

So I chose another one & painted it Vert Vertigo. (It's a very nice green.)

(I will save the spare should the need arise for someone to sign up after it's out of the OCD.)

 

[Lexi Walker]

alright i painted my car - Jetstream blue metallic and Barcelona Orange Rims

 

[Naptown25rs]

I'm in for this, colors TBD.

 

[watermelon punch]

Okay, here it is:

Perhaps bunnies hopping on the track might be a problem.

 

[Lexi Walker]

Perhaps bunnies hopping on the track might be a problem.

oh my!

 

[watermelon punch]

The Spider is no longer in the OCD.
BUT, I have a spare to gift if anyone should want to sign up & needs one!

 

[Johnnypenso]

I should be home next weekend...sign me up for Purple/Gold

 

[watermelon punch]

Anybody in need of a car to participate should let me know!
I have spares!

 

[tonyNOS]

I'm in. Color TBA

 

[Johnnypenso]

Just a thought, but if anyone can share a track, even one they downloaded from someone else, why don't we just have the VCRC Lounge put all the tracks up on share so we don't have to keep adding different ID's to download tracks?. Can you share a downloaded track?

Only one track can be shared on an account at a time.

Now I can't remember what track is shared on the VCRC account. But I know it's one that's for a scheduled race too... so it's probably Targa Florio 2

The Kinghurst track is now shared on PSN: jackargent
(or at least last I checked)

But yes, anyone can share any track.
Just one at a time.

 

[dmihaylov]

I'm in for this.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Coming, in Grigo Grafite!

 

[CC570]

Like the Kinghurst layout but feel it is ruined by the unreal banking.
If the creator could make a version without the banking I'd like to try it.

 

[watermelon punch]

I rather liked the banking.

You're always pooh-pooh-ing the banking cc570!!
The ahem New ahem Ji-Feurre ahem Pass.
Don't make me post the ad!!!
Now that's banking!!

Note: My availability on Sunday is in question (for some or all of the event).
So just a heads up - jackargent will be hosting. 👍

 

[mgrtuga]

I'm in

Color: Super Red II

 

[watermelon punch]

Welcome! And make sure you send a FR to PSN: VCRC 👍

 

[Lexi Walker]

NOO! whitout you melon it will be no fun xD
nobody to beat!

 

[luvtadrive]

I'll be entering or least show up for this one. Competitione Red.

 

[jackargent]

I'll be entering or least show up for this one. Competitione Red.
