Wednesdays Historic BSCC 3 20:30-21:30 BST- Pimiki & SimbaLora CHAMPIONS!!!Finished 

Well, you have more points than me, and it's not over until the fat lady sings ;)
Well, I saw that Frank Gardner Boss 302's leader is Flaco, followed by Pimiki. So, if I stay on 3rd behind Flaco and Pimiki on BSCC, then will I win the prize of Ford Escort?
 
then will I win the prize of Ford Escort?
The prize for 3rd is...

Edit: @LexLathor I have seen on psn that you play it, too. Are you PS+ member? If so, could you check out the hosting options for online on AC and possibly PCars?

I wanted to get a 2-day free PS+ but it's not possible for me because I live in Germany but have Spanish-ID only, so I can't register.

Thank you Lex. Yes, amazing indeed, even without a shifter and three-pedal set. But I am greatly missing it and will upgrade my T150 with pedals and the TH8A shifter sometime soon as I also miss them in PCars and DiRT Rally.

As for driving, obviously I have never driven a Lotus Type 49 in real life, but I can say that the BMW E30 M3, on road tyres, feels spot on.
 
What are the track limits at trial Mtn? Is it just the walls or do we have to stay off the yellow painted area on the right hander after the tunnel?

Also, can you post the time of day that we'll be racing for each track? There can be a big difference in how the car behaves when raced on a hot track at 1pm vs a cold track at 8am.

Usually it's the walls at Trial Mountain.

When we race at Trial Mountain I consider the yellow hatched areas to be part of the track. I believe they were put into the game to simulate areas of potential rock fall. The game does not penalise for going on to the yellow so I take it as being part of the track.

Regarding time of day - I normally set it to 15:00 as this is a realistic time to be racing. So assume that it will be at 15:00 unless otherwise stated. With custom tracks I normally leave them at the default setting as any change encourages the PS3 to freeze.

Next Round 10 from Trial Mountain Reverse
Pimiki divebombed into me on track and I still get 16 points from 3rd???
 
I'm really looking forward to today's race because afterwards I'm gonna be playing some Assetto Corsa!

I put a wanted ad on kijiji because even though I have been watching for a $250 ps4 to become availabile, none have. Everyone wants $350+ still?! Well, I managed to pick the Ps4, 2 controllers and some games (not including AC obviously) for $270!

I'll probably end up trading the games in but I wanted to try them first. I think I'll get about $30 for trading those games in. Anyways I'm pretty happy, I'll be able to get the PSVR and use it until the NEO comes out and I might even wait for it to go on sale first. But if I can flip my ps4 for the same price I paid I'll do that and get the NEO asap.

Project cars is coming out September 20 with all the dlc and everything included. I think I'll be picking that up and getting some telemetry apps on my phone cause I think that's cool! So I should be taken care of since GTS has been delayed till...
 
Sorry for jumping in last minute.
Not sure what happened on the grid. I should have been last not 4th. I ghosted to let all by but sick was very slow off so I started racing.

Lots of people seemed to slow down or stop near the end?!? I think many couldn't see me or some others.

BB though he was 4th and Zeus 3rd?

My screen finished with
Harsk, Pimiki, me, Simba, Zeus, BB, sick, tarn and John.

Eran left / DCd near the end.

Mad PSN network. But I had a brilliant race. I wondered how I passed a few people easily...they probably didn't see me!!!:D

:cheers:
 
Ok. I'm an idiot @Sick Cylinder and all other racers.
I jumped in so quickly I forgot to change my tyres from SS to SM.

Really sorry. I've changed tyres now.
It's only fair Sick that you put me to last position for today's race. So unfortunately I didn't suddenly develop alien tendencies after all.

Anyway I enjoyed it while it lasted.
:cheers:
 
Sick Cylinder!
Harsk at the end of the home straight was a chicane that has repeatedly passed straight to full throttle thus gained a great advantage ! I'm sorry because it would have been otherwise had a good race between us .

I'm very sorry...

I had struggled with the first corner. :(
 
Was all a bit odd tonight. Mass disco for everyone at the first start but race 1 seemed ok and I could see everyone.

Race 2 I knew I couldn't see suts or harsk, but thinking the grid would be based on previous race, they should be starting from the back.

On my screen I was running p2 behind zeus, before getting past and leading (surprised)

There was a huge gap back to pimiki so I thought we were well clear. After a great battle trying to retake what I thought was the lead, I caught zeus and spun him. I waited for him to rejoin which let pimiki through to the lead. There were only a couple of minutes left at this point I think. Had a wee dice with simba and eran then settled into p4 with zeus 3rd and pimiki in the lead.

Really enjoyed the cat and mouse with zeus though, good clean racing, but apologies for the spin, my bad.

Hope my lack of visibility didn't cause too much disruption to anyone.

Suts on sports soft lol. You've been rapid this last wee while in all rooms, I'm sure you'd have been up there regardless.
 
Sorry about the shambles of Round 10. After the mass disconnection of the first room I remembered to shorten the feature race because we were going to over run, but with numerous distractions I forgot to change the grid order. I should have called for a restart and scheduled the restarted race for 15 minutes. I thought about it at the start and was doing a message, but eventually decided just to let the race run as we had suffered so many problems already and I didn't want to risk further disconnections and an increase in invisible cars. By then the pack was half a minute up the road. I hadn't had time for any practise, but even so was shocked by the huge difference between my fastest lap and the overall fastest lap.

It was not a struggle because they cut off the chicane and was not interested in the fact I was happy undue advantage ! The Jury will decide your position against those who went along on the track !

We will have a look at the replay.
 
Strange network demons last night. I was disconnected before the 1st race, assuming it was only me I did a full reset (hence the delay). On my return when the race began on my screen Zeuss's car slid sidewards on the grid and then through the race gradually rolled backwards finishing off in the middle of the track. Meanwhile Buybons's car started the race halfway around the track! It was parked throughout the race on the apex of the corner just after the second tunnel. Both added a new dimension in car avoidance.

When I was again disconnected I decided it was best to not return.

Well, if it's that case of did cutting the chicane, then you can take my win away and put me on 3rd place.

By the way, I couldn't participate in Qualifying because I wasn't in home and when I arrived, the Qualifying already had started. As soon the Qualify ended, I went to enter on track.
 
Points BSCC3.jpg


Note - half points were awarded for Round 10 as a result of the problems with grid order, invisible cars etc. Harsk was not awarded points as a penalty for repeatedly exceeding track limits (cutting corners).

A Reminder - Please all drivers try your best to drive cleanly. Allow extra braking distance on the first lap when the cars are bunched to avoid collisions.


Today - Round 11 from Brands Hatch GP 1980's
