This is for you GT. Here’s The Stig driving the Lotus 72. What great sounding car!
That first paragraph is exactly what is been running into. Turning it upside down (and eating cables although I don't really think that did anything seems to have solved the issue.My G29 gas pedal started acting up.
On Sunday night with GTSport I had my gas pedal flat to the floor but occasionally the indicator jumps up and down and sometimes only giving me half the gas I'm asking for. Result feels like misfiring and getting passed on the straights.
On PCars2 on Monday I left the pits and every time I press the gas I get a black screen. When I lift everything is ok, press the gas and I get a black screen again. (I can see the telemetries and dials and everything, but instead of the track I see black.) I went out and restarted my PS4, re-calibrated the pedals and went to a private testing room where it seemed to be OK. Came back to the online room and could only see telemetry and dials but everything else is black. So I left.
Haven't had a chance to look any further. I'm out of town till Friday and again Next week from Sunday night till the next Friday, after which we move to our new place. So, I will not have much troubleshooting opportunity between now and December 7
On this coming Sunday I will give it a shake and get the vacuum cleaner in there and see if I can suck some dirt out of it, but if it is a problem I'll have to talk to Logitech and their warranty department. I might be out of racing for the rest of the year....

Excellent!Just went and got PCARS2 Day One Edition with the Japanese cars pack for $35 and change after tax from Gamestop. Had to wait on line for a couple hours but it was more than worth it. Will be playing Come Christmas night. Will be getting the season pass closer to Christmas and the One year PS plus subscription so i will be joining @Mike Lobban @aerolite and others in less than 30 days.

First, a Happy Thanksgiving to all our neighbors to the south! (And that one guy way to the west!)
Second, and please bare with me, as I think we owe you an explanation of our thinking behind these changes we keep trying.
Splitting the group but staying in one room worked out pretty good a couple of weeks ago, but with a few not being able to get in, the decision to try two separate rooms was made. However, we now think that this is not the best avenue to take. One of the big things for us is to have a good and clean race night, but to have fun and laughter while doing so. We have proved that this can be done for the most part. The night has a certain flare for the casual nature and joking that goes on that you won't find elsewhere. Splitting the group up changes all that, and for some, it just turns the night into another serious race night that you can get in most other leagues. We don't want that to happen. Mike and I want to race together with our friends and keep the room dynamic going. The other thing I want to cut out is the ranking system that I was having to do each week. It takes up time during the week, but makes my workload during the race evening such that I hardly get time on the track before and during the races. So this will be why there will be qualifying for race 1 as a whole group this time, it's easy, quicker and we do a standing start for race 1. Mike and I have a very good idea of who belongs where so you will be placed by that knowledge.
We can't please everyone, but lets try this and see how it pans out.
Here is how the night will go this Monday and I'm sure there will be tweaks to follow!
We will pick the cars this week and then make a decision if each group will do a separate vote on two cars in the future.
- One room, two groups, each group in a different car. Group A will be in a faster car so that during qualy most of them should stay in front of Group B. This will help keep us separated and make the start better.
- 45 min qualifier to start race 1, standing start. Race 2 & 3 will still be reverse grid, but we will let you know exactly how that will go before race night as we still need to discuss this a bit more.
We expect all the Group A drivers to take extra caution when passing the Group B drivers. On the flip side, Group B drivers will need to be more aware of who is coming up to pass.
BTW, I like the sound of Group A & B better than Div 1 & 2, doesn't sound as devisive. But maybe we can come up with better sounding names for the two groups, more in line with our group of misfits. There's a challenge for you!
We will keep the active drivers list going so that anyone on that list has precedence over inactive drivers before the 8:30 deadline.
Group 1 - Ginetta G55 GT4

I love crumpets!Keep in mind this is England? Does that mean we can expect a bit 'o crumpet at the finish line?
The forecast for Kent tomorrow shows a very good chance of precipitation later in the evening!The rain gods are making an appearance. I'd put money on race 2 and 3 being wet... lol. On another note I did a little testing and once again D1 has a great car/track combo. Very fun.
Crumpets? Precipitation? Either way I'll be wearing my rubbers then!I love crumpets!

I don't see a 113 for this week@The__Camel I'm calling the 113 paint scheme this week! Because I know you always like to pick the same scheme (every week since you've joined) lol we obviously have the same eye for a good looking race car haha. You have me in speed so let me have the scheme... 13 is my favorite number so the 113 will do. Doesn't hurt it's stunning. Look forward to Monday guy's!
I try each week to get my co-big cheese to have it manual! You'll have to bring it up with him!I'm not sure if there's a reason you guys don't turn on manual pit entrance/exit but in my opinion it makes it so much better. Seems more realistic. You can turn on the manual option without having the pit exit penalty on as well. During the race when coming in for a pit stop having to get down to speed is a great challenge. We are all capable and it will be the same for everyone. Either way no big deal but I think it would add some positive flavor to our races.
BTW, I had mentioned in report 728 about the names for each group, so I put out a challenge to see if anyone could come up with some interesting names for each to better suit our lounge misfits! Because how would we decide which group gets the Mr. Awesome, so instead, if we come up with new names, then each week the two groups can have their own "MR. ???????" or whatever.
Well, I never heard anything, (guess no one reads all my stuff,
). So I'm putting it out there again, we have enough warped degenerates here that something amusing is likely to come out

Sorry boys, I’m out tonight... work is going late so I won’t make it back in timeRace day!
I have removed the three drivers from the invite lists below that have stated they will miss tonight, Samhain, phile and GR8. Any Inactive drivers that want to race tonight need to let us know by 7pm est.
There is another change this week, if you have not read the post then please do so. (report #728 above).
The amount of laps to get us to 30 min's are based on Group A times.
8pm - Start 45 min's qualifying
Race 1 - GP - 20 laps (Standing start based on qualy)
Race 2 - Indy - 38 laps (Rev grid from race 1, Group A will still line up first)
Race 3 - GP - 20 laps (Rev grid from race 2)
The forecast is definitely favoring rain at some point tonight.
Group 1 - Ginetta G55 GT4. Max starting fuel for all races is 20 liters
