VS Racing Series - Series will resume once GT6 arrives!

[MSTER232]

You know, I put those countdown timers in the OP for a reason. On top of that, I post times for every single race in the OP aswell. So please, don't give me such excuses, when all you had to do was check the OP.

Hopefully, you'll be able to make the last 4 races. You fixed your DFGT yet?

Think I have, but I haven't tested it yet.

Sorry guys for not joining the lobby, but I was sleeping at 12:00 GMT My mother woke me up at 14:30 GMT.

 

[m8h3r]

Dial up warning! 18 pictures incoming!


Doing this on my phone cause my laptops rubbish

Not many decent ones but took 18, some are good though. Like the nose/behind ones. Also the fishbowl right turn drift is alright.

Anyway without further ado:

I did warn you. Just think if I'd not been too lazy to do the British cars too!

Anyway tell me if any links don't work and I'll try to fix them.

👍 enjoy

I'll join if there is one. I don't mind whether its at wednesday or thursday. Need to practise more at chamonix .

Nice photo bombing m8h3r . I miss the sense of speed in your pictures, i know we weren't standing still during our photo ride. You had a nice crash into that dude with its f:censored:'cked up ferrari enzo 👍. He deserved that for ruining such a beautiful car. I'll upload some of my pics later.

Haha, that crash was honestly hilarious. It's like M8h3r intentionally hit him. Falcon Punch incomming! Bam!

 

[m8h3r]

Well I could have stopped...


I haven't done the others yet. I always seem to have trouble getting a nice mix of blurred background and a fully focused car. I don't like having a focused bumper and a blurred car from the door back.

Just change to Mode 3 then, there you can focus the car, take the photo and the whole car will be visible, not just the bumper focused and the rest blurry.

I'll be joining too hopefully, I haven't attended anything yet .

 

[m8h3r]

Uh-oh. I feel my PS3 may have just broken on me.

It will start up for a few moments, then beeps, shows yellow instead of green and turns off. This is the YLOD. If I'm not mistaken right? I've recorded it and am trying to put it on YouTube now.

Not sure if this link will work. I'm on my iPhone. http://youtu.be/d5nGTejPaZA

 

[John Wells]

I can make it tonight, as well if your having a practice session

 

[Jawehawk]

Sorry about the YLOD M8h3r. Don't think it could be anything else. Perhaps your console is trying to save you from Chamonix or something.

Either way, no session tonight guys. Perhaps tommorow.

I feared Chamoix so much I even broke my PS3

 

[MattieM]

That looks like a YLOD indeed, i've been there . I hope you can retrieve your save data, have you made back ups lately? I had to demolish my YLOD'ed PS3 in order to get Modern Warfare 1 out of the disc drive .

Here are some of my pics:

Your pink LFA is an odd duck here m8h3r .

 

[m8h3r]

Check my signature. Of course I backed up. I can't go around all high and mighty saying BACK UP, BACK UP. Oh I got a YLOD, can I have some free cars?

Guess what was in my drive? Freaking GT5.

Now what? buy a new one? or get a refurbished one for half the price?

I bought a new one, went from a 60 gig FAT to 250 gig slim version. So i had no problem with demolishing my old PS3.

Warning! Next picture might be harmfull for PS3 fans and therefore may cause severe trauma.

But i did get the game out of the drive undamaged .

To stay OT : I'm now starting to get familiar with Chamonix and so far managed a 3:27:9xx. I think my best will be low 3:27's or high 3:26's. Dani probably will do 3:25's or something .

 

[m8h3r]

Well I'm at 40GB Fat, with a 250GB HDD. Only put it in a couple months ago. I'm thinking of looking to see if I can get a cheap 12GB Super Slim because I'll just put my HDD in it. Or a small size Slim second hands.

Ill see how much it costs to be fixed and what the deal would be if I got it fixed and it went again like whether I'd get my money back. If its going to cost like 50+ quid I may as well get a new slim/super slim and it would be quieter/smaller/cooler.

Anyway, OT. I'm expecting Dani to go below 3 minutes keep the name Danny (spelt correctly) going strong in my absence.

Reading your post makes me want to back up my PS3 ASAP.... .

Yeah, completely out of the blue. I was watching the crash from our session the other day and it just cut out. Wasn't hot and I'd only been on it for like 45 minutes.

 

[Daniel46]

I'm sorry to hear your PS3 has YlOD. Try to google "YLOD repair" or something like this. I heard there are some shops that can repair your PS3. Or you buy a new one and sell the broken one, I just recently sold my old 60GB PS3 with YLOD.
Btw. I did a 1.26.xxx at chamonix. I'm suffering the understeer of the car, but I hope I can improve.

 

[Jawehawk]

I'm sorry I haven't been able to host more Chamonix focused sessions. I aim to start the lobby earlier than specified tomorrow, so that we can get in some more practice before the actual event.

Wow he's quick!

I need special screw drivers just to open it. I'm fine in computers and think I'd be able to do it but don't wanna 🤬 it up completely with no fall back

 

[Michelin]

You guys had to put the Chamonix event to conflict with the PSG game.

 

[Jawehawk]

psg?

 

[Michelin]

psg?

Paris Saint Germain, soccer team from France. Today is the debut of Lucas, brazilian player who used to play on my favorite team here in Brazil, São Paulo.

Well, you only have to run two laps in this one (1 practice followed by timed). So you should be able to watch the majority of the game.

 

[John Wells]

Hope you can get your PS3 fixed m8

No worries Andy, see you all later for the race.👍

I was joking. I don't really watch the PSG games, it's the only game I'll be watching I believe.

 

[Jawehawk]

I'm opening the session now guys.

This is how it's going to play out. Once the practice has ended (aprox 1 hour from this post), I'll reset the track and each paticipant will withdraw to the lobby. Then, each participant will drive 2 laps alone on the track, with the 1st being a final practice lap, and the 2nd being the timed lap. Once two laps have been completed, I'll note your time, and you'll withdraw back to the lobby, followed by the next person entering the track and starting his two laps.

You'll lose 1 point for every second you're behind the best time. You can't lose anymore than 10 points though.

I'll go first, and then I'll follow each driver's live timing to see their times.

After my run, you are to enter the track according to this list. Just remember who's before you, and things shouldgo smooth.
