Well I've gotta admit, Im sorta ashamed of what may come with this race for me. I've only completed the race 1 time and I didn't keep it, for it was the begining of the week and I did not forsee the consequences of waiting till the last second to race. ( oh, sorry about that)

But yeah, I haven't raced this race enough at all to even run it clean, so for now I just wanna get in a time.

Talk to you guys later, since Im out of school for the week, I am sure tomorrow evening will yield a clean time. :D

later
 
These are the rules that you need to keep in mind before you decide not to keep it, GoKent.

4. All Races were chosen with Close Competition In Mind. Therefore: Although AI Contact is expected to occur, Excessive AI Contact is discouraged. Unless you "Blatantly" use AI contact to help your position you WILL NOT be Penalized.

5. "Wall Riding" is of course FORBIDDEN

6. "Wall Contact" is discouraged but unless you continually hit the wall in the same spot & by doing so help your lap time you WILL NOT be Penalized.

This is a 15 lap race. Don't try and make it harder than it already is. Good Luck. I will be running this as much as I can tomorrow.
 
Thanks, that was actually just what I needed to hear.

I am always racing the first lap and making contact with the ai no matter what I try, so I often just give up on the lap rather than think about who is gonna call that contact illegal.

I think Im just gonna do it with these rules in mind and see what happens.

Thanks.
 
How is the new wheel working out, Slowpoke? Makes the game much more enjoyable, Yes? No more sore fingers.:lol:
 
I'm starting to get the hang of it 'Mich. I played around some in the Licenses last night, setting some PB's believe it or not! I then went back to the BC3 race combo that I had, differant story there! :lol: All I need is time, hope I got enough;)
 
im in the same boat kent :( I got nuthin right now....and i work today. so im just gonna have to run one when i get home from work tonight and hope i can make it clean enough to be submitable
 
To GoKents & IDAFC21:
:D As GT3mich said, 100% clean is not necessary & I'm not even sure it's possible starting in 6th!!! Just run your Normal Race & have fun. Kiss the wall a coupla times & "Smack" the AI back...OK!!! No one is this bunch is going to "Abuse" the rules, that's the LEAST of my worries. (I'm still much more "troubled" about providing a "Challenge") 👍...UB57
:D
 
I would assume it's the same as last time...

total time
best lap
split between you and first or you and second. (lets hope everyone can get a first place)

I ran out and looked at buying a car all day today, so I didn't get to race... doing it right now. Back later on throughout the day/night to post up my progress or send my time. (If I get one)

Talk to you guys later.
 
I think I coulsd have taken another 15secs off my time but I got sick of being beat up by a bunch of angry skylines .:mad:

No ****!:mad:

I finally got a race finished though, so atleast Im not gonna get a big dnf. Although I do feel that I could take another 5 seconds off without any real trouble. (which I am going to go attempt right now:D )
 
Times and replay submitted.
Now just need to now if your going to put us up against the really fast cars. 20 laps......
 
Sorry to come out w/ this. but dont be expecting a time from me. i just dont have the energy, and to be quite honest, i never thought id be saying this, but my will to play GT3 lately has all but disappeared. It just cant hold my attention anymore, every time i sit down and try to play it, just feels like a chore now. I just tried to do the race right now and i just couldnt do it. :( So im sorry....i dont know if i'll be pulling out of the series, but im definently gonna have a big DNF on this race.
 
:( Very Sorry to hear that!!!:(
Try to get back "In the Groove" for next week. Race #3 to be posted "Shortly"...UB57:(

Race #3 will be up "Shortly" 👍
 
Yeah, I actually know what your saying idafc, I have had the same feeling plenty before.

As for this race, I am happy I got a time in, but un-satisfied with the time.

In the race I had 2 laps that didn't need to be, but ended up as 1.33.??? laps. That really killed the time because otherwise they were all steady 1.32's.

Even with 1.32's all the way I still wouldn't be happy though, as I remember the begining of the week when I ran the race and throughout my most recent attempts... 1.31's were not hard to achieve.

So without the steady 1.31's that I am positive I could have turned in, I will not be happy with the time itself.

But hey, Ive gotta settle for what I did... considering the turn-in time for me was only the 2nd time I completed the completed the race, I guess I should just leave it be. (I only finished the race 2 times in all of the week :( )

Anyway, good luck you guys. (not that you will need it.)
