That's because I heeded your advice in your sig.

I didn't follow my own advice lately...I guess I played too much fps :sly:
I'll be ok next round:tup:
 
Newsflash: Pub'ers suck...
 
i don't mind a little rubbing and bumping as long as everyone stays on the track...but swerving down straights and using other cars to brake isn't what i call a good time.
 
From the first post this sounds as if it is open to the public. I'd like to join for a race once in a while. I'll drive conservativly till I understand what acceptable.

What's the typical turn out like? And how clean is the driving really at this point?

If it's a private room, you'll see some of the cleanest racing in existence. If you saw the stuff we complained about, you would laugh your ass off. We bitch and moan about the small **** because that's how clean we race :)

I was blocked on Tsukuba into the pit wall on the 4th lap for 5th position. It was then I realized we were on a public server.

When i host (Sun, Mon, Thurs) it is usually in my private lobby and the racing is about as clean as you will get, however some drivers are better than others and mistakes and unintentional contact does happen. In general, drivers are patient enough to wait for the right passing opportunity rather than forcing one. You'll spend more time racing wheel to wheel when you are encouraged to make a clean pass.

Here are a few clean replays...

Send me a friend request or a PSN message and I'll add you to my friend list. Race clean and race often and your name will stay on the list. My list is usually full so people that don't participate often get bumped off the list to make room for others. Don't take it personally if you are removed...just send another message to get back on the list.
 
tonight, 450pp Nurburgring on Sport Softs at 9:30 EDT. Room will be posted.

I think the regulars were outnumbered by pubbers and things were laggy all night.

I just remembered my other half won't be home tomorrow so I'll be there with the C30.
 
hey i raced tonight with u guys psn iklatun. it was a blast and i did not know my 300sl had it in her lol. it was a little laggy (got bumped into the sand but still won:sly:) but all in all good fun. hope to race with you guys again. chuyler i will send you a fr when its bright out. sleep beckons
 
last night was very laggy. In fact PSN seemed very laggy all day yesterday.
 
We didnt have any lag issues in the lemons room. Does the lobby host act as the server for all players? Or is the game hosted on a dedicated server?
 
I thought the game was hosted on dedicated servers, but that probably just means a basement full of PS3s sharing a DSL connection haha

No. From what I understand, the players host the server and there are no in game servers.
 
definitely lag was the story of last night race, but im glad that everybody tried to race clean from my viewpoint. The only problem is its hard to pass anybody when they're bouncing and sliding in every inch of the road without bumping into them.

There was this guy who was like 15 cars away and all of the sudden he bump into me in a split second, talking bout a light speed manuever...... :crazy:
but all was good! glad he bailed out halfway thru the race. Looking forward to tonights race.

oh BTW, the Volvo C30 did great last night, top end speed was my main concern. but it's ego is much controllable than the NSX. Tonight's race gonna be fun. Nickl, Booch and Cujo had theirs out for some Nurburgring lap times. 👍
Forgive me if i missed out on someone.

yap! main difference between the PS3 crowd and the Xbox nation is that XBoxs had dedicated servers!!! :grumpy:

I almost bought a c30 until I realize it was FWD :(
 
I guess the lag was my fault then. Interesting. I have a 20mb broadband connection and I've never had issues that I recall. Maybe I'll connect the PS3 via ethernet instead of wireless if I host again.
 
I host via wifi every night...but my connection is pretty quick.
