How about a relay race....?

Basic Rules:
1. Teams of 2 or 3 drivers
2. Procedure:
  • Example: Set # of laps at 3 and specify 3 drivers per team (Team color has to be the same and Driver numbers must be 1, 2, 3 - so, it must be a paintable premium car)
  • All teams line up at the SF line
  • At the start of the race the first driver of each team starts. The second driver go and line up at the SF line and the other drivers stay out o the way behind the SF line.
  • Driver 1 of each team completes the lap without crossing the finish line and tap driver #2 on the back. When driver 2 gets the tap he starts the lap.
  • Driver 2 finish the lap without crossing the line and taps driver 3 on the back. When driver 3 gets the tap he starts the lap.
  • Driver 1 lines up at the SF line. Driver 3 completes the lap without crossing the line and taps Driver 1 on the back. When driver 1 gets the tap he starts his second lap and the procedure continues until driver #3 starts his 3rd lap.
  • Driver 3 completes the lap and cross the finish line. Only the third drivers are allowed to cross the finish line at the end of their third laps. Others must show DNF or their team will be DQ'd
  • Results will be the team results
  • In this case the equivalent laps will be 9. So, keep in mind the lap times for a track before you specify the # laps or number of drivers per team.
Now you can get creative and add other rules , for example:
  • For a three driver per team event: Specify sum of total PP or HP per team and then the teams can pick any three paintable premium cars where the total sum of PP or HP do not exceed the cap (I think we had a series where sum of PP/HP were capped, so credit to the thinker of that principle)
  • Or, teams must be made up of drivers of different divisions
  • Or anything you want to add without making it too complicated for teams to organize themselves

I'm just say'n

That's a really neat concept.
 
Both BMW's too...- I wonder if there is any radio frequency they can tell drivers to tune into for any ongoing course cautions, then have live updates from corner workers as they happen... i'm ignorant to how all that works on track day.

Nothing so sophisticated on public driving track days like that one when, in fact, they don't even have flag marshals in place to report incidents.
 
@Whitey093 Did you have any problems re-installing the game? I have everything done and I'm in-game for the first time. It keeps failing when trying to do the installation/update process.

I had to buy the digital version late into the game as well. I always had failed updates and freeze ups during the installation process. I found this online followed the instructions and got through it after many hours. You have to manually break up each update instead of trying them all in one shot

Thanks. I posted on a bunch of forums and got that too. Sucks but that's that. Too much racing to watch today though so I'll do it tomorrow and hopefully be on in time to race.
 
Yes, many problems. Took almost 2 days to complete and i still found things to update and reinstall over the course of a week. If you use the link user provided you can work through it.
 
I see D3 video this week hows about you @Engmatic1 ?

How does watching soccer highlights limit you to one hand? Unless of course you're ''watching soccer highlights".

by laying in my corner couch and having the laptop to the right of me on the other couch and not in my lap. I only mentioned it because I remember seeing some where that 'text' grammar/vernacular is frowned upon on gtplanet. I may be wrong
 
Data is done for D4 2016 9/11 . I really like that helmet @Vitessekid how can you not win with a bad### helmet like that .
:cheers::cheers::cheers::lol::lol:
Thanks, my dad did it for me, I'm proud to wear it :) (Maybe he can make a design for you if you want ;)). I had problems with the tyres in Sweden, the rubber wasn't consistent and I guess I got a bad set. Just my luck, out of all 6 sets I could've gotten, only 2 were good (France Race and Portugal Race), meaning I got bad tyres for all practices lol.

Edit:

I just got the G29 and I've been setting it up for 2 days. I've muscled through most of the setup issues with PS3 & PS4 but I still have one issue - a big one for me. I cannot find how to set steering lock to lock for GT6. I downloaded and set up the Logitech software (LGS) but I have doubts whether it's really for anything but PC games because it doesn't use the settings when I'm playing PS3 or 4 (no matter whether settings are set to default, persistent, or locked). Suggestions?

I would think the software is just for PC as well. I didn't need to do anything other than select GT Driving Force form the list, then I chose the most realistic setting. I will look at my settings here ina while and let you know what I have.
 
Last night we had one of the most Fun and Epic endings on a practice.

Everything starts with 12 drivers on the grid... First lap @Xradkins starts from the back and goes to 5th place by turn 1.
He is plowing through everyone. Into the 3rd lap he asks if only 5 racers are on track? LMAO.

Into the 5th lap, I'm able to pass @IITrick on the main straight and keep just a bit ahead into the first variante.

He is able to capture position before Parabollica and I tried to do the same in the main straight; only this time he fights position into the chicane.

I fight back going into Ascari and we both make contact losing time; @WSK96 is ready to pounce and goes to pass for 1st position. Coming into parabollica, @IITrickII bumps WSK and gets a bit loose and we go 3 wide in Parabollica

@WSK96 and @IITrickII make a bit of contact and continue to be 3 wide coming out

I lose sight of where Trick is at, and as I avoid drafting from WSK I make contact with Trick .

Finishing on the grass.. just hundreds of a sec ahead of Trick. 2nd to 5th within a second.
1st place @MikeGrove was gone as he avoided the X plow.

Epic and very Fun.

With the G27, one could set 4 steering settings 900 down to 240 right from the 'shifter' buttons. I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish the same with G29. Software has the settings but I think there recognized by PC games only.

The G29 won't set the different rotations by hitting the different combos of buttons like on the 27's shifter. In Pcars and AC the settings are done in game.

There is no way to do it, unfortunately. At least I couldn't find one after weeks of searching, so I moved completely to PS4 once I sold my G27.
