They went back an hour with the clocks changing last year too, I also prefer them where they were makes it difficult for me to enter without the 10.10 slot.

 

[PirovacBoy]

You're looking at that from the wrong country ! The races are now in fact an hour earlier with the clocks going back , I personally liked them where they were .

edit: FINALLY GR.2 at Fuji! Been waiting for that combo!

And again it’s the Germans fault . I just hope you‘re right and i‘ll Be able to catch a slot before heading out.
So the 18:10 and 19:10 slots will still be available , i‘m confused

Yup , so UK time it moves from 18:00 - 22:00 to 17:00 - 21:00 which means I gotta rush home Wednesdays !

 

[RZQSPEED]

To avoid confusion, that was AUS time on the news that I mentioned. In my timezone, that is an equivalent of 18:00,19:00, 20:00, 21:00, and 22:00

The Brits should have the same slot choices as us Indons.

Nah it's different again as we turn our clocks back this weekend and I don't believe Indonesia (Most of Asia don't) put their clocks back? I hate the changing of clocks... just give me 1 time all year please!

Ah yes, the swap from BST to GMT... Most of Asia, including Indonesia, don't put their clocks back by an hour, as that could possibly mess up the work/study schedules. I don't even think PD adapts to the switching timezone systems that loads of countries use IIRC.

The Australian times are terrible. Ive said it before and ill say it again, they need to do 2 sessions per day. 9.10pm qld time is the 1st one and for people like me who start work at 12am its just not feasable. The only day i can do them are Sat night( my only night off) which being up since 12 I'm to stuffed for. P.s I have no chance in hell of winning, i just like the format of qually and race.

Pretty self explanatory but a no stop in Nurb 24H is very risky and personally not worth it. Very demanding track for the tires.

 

[RZQSPEED]

My N24 Nations race went a bit mixed... Had a choice between the Retro FT-1, the Red Bull Citroën, and the Suzuya Z4. Went with the FT-1 instead of the planned Z4.

Qualified 12th, finished 13th. Got screwed over by Hatzenbach, and I ended up kill Shines-san in a WRX. Another incident is with @MonkeyMan_707 exiting out of Brunnchen, which gave him front aero damage, while I got rear aero damage AND rear suspension damage from the Hatzenbach incident, all caused by the wrong attack angle to the kerb...

Akagi-san in the WRX did just that on my race, but gets beaten by Dauble-Weapon in another FT-1 at the end, who did the 1-stop.

Sorry for getting into the back of you there, was pushing a bit too hard given how close I was to you.
So many things went wrong for me which is kinda what I expected from a nurb race, especially when I had only done like 3 laps practice. The kicker though was accidentally clicking stop repairs in the pit stop so I did the entire next lap with the front damage still I had a laugh so that's what it's about

Akagi is a god on tyre wear, would definitely recommend stopping for everyone else. And I also recommend not crashing on your qualifying lap

Yeah seen, he had a 10 second gap but was quickly losing time and it wasn't even at the half of the nordschleife and spun out right after Aremberg section.
It was rough

 

[Balwerk]

How stupid am I? pretty stupid, 2 minutes before entry close just chance from Evo to RCF. Not seeing almost everybody saving tire during qualify and hit he on flugplatz make my aero damage. On race just being too reckless and make my rear right tire and aero damage (again) good thing I still can do some defend and pass so rank up position to 6 start from 9.

In other hand during willow race I just way too slow on qualify and somewhat finish 6 again because lot other player goes to gravel

 

[Tidgney]

Going to stream some FIA action tonight for those interested!! It's called R8 night (As in date night... yes I know a joke is bad if you have to explain it )

[bduddy]

Only 2 races posted for test season 3. Will they be filled in later or is something else going to start soon?
Also, looks like we're back to light damage at least for now...

 

[Lost Sheltie]

Manufacturers
Made a bit of a mess of the qualification, so was down in 11th, but I felt I had decent pace. Was around 0.2 between me and 6th.

Unfortunately I got stuck behind a guy in an Aston that was quite robust with his defence. Every time I tried a move, it got shut down and then the guys behind would have a look at me. Pitted on lap 7 and came out about 3 secs behind the same guy (he had pitted a couple of laps earlier). Then spent 3 laps closing him down and then a further lap trying to get past, which I finally managed to do at the top of the course. I was too far behind the guy in 6th to bridge the gap in 2 laps so just cruised to a 7th.



Nations
Managed to do a solid qualification, think I was 7th with an 8:35. Unfortunately that puts me in dive bomb range. I managed to dodge the 1st one but got hit by the 2nd. No damage though so carried on. Then the guy ahead lost it on the fast right hander at the start of the old track, spun and hit me. Gave me engine damage, thought I would still carry on, but then got hit twice more when I was trying to stay to the side of the road and just quit

I wonder if they will allow us to change Manufacturer for the next season. Would quite like to choose some other brand.

 

[stpatty]

This Nurburgring qualifying is some laugh.

 

[stpatty]

I just got a punt up the read on the last corner at Willow Springs, launched off the track and up a bank into a sign, got 5 seconds of penalties, then got disqualified because I was behind a row of sandbags and couldn't get back to the track in time.

 

[SMinded31]

I raced manufacturers and it was a fantastic battle between NZNZ... PutPut And myself in a 1900 point group.
I had only about 30min of practice before the event. Just enough I'm going to have to do both stints on the RH's with the tire hungry Lexus.
Qualified on pole with a 1:11.8.
It was such a fun clean race with multiple side by side battles for most of it. The top 3 checked out from the rest of the field.

 

[ramurel]

Hey, guys! New season coming, but it's a short one. This could be the reason why can't change the driver contact ? I'd like to sign to a new manufacturer, but looks like I can't!
Speaking of the new season, the old one was good for me !
Well, almost...
I know about"always look at the bright side", but it's the third consecutive season being "the first looser" in my country! The best looser

( I'm not really serious about it, it's more a joke )

 

[azrilnazli]

While waiting for N24 Nation, weather in Sepangwas pretty bad with thunderstorms and lightning, I decided to turn off all devices. DR went from 30.8 to 27 ish

 

[VeeDoubleU]

Both seasons are 9 rounds long.

Good race. I'm happy about P4, as the Gr. 3 Viper was absolute garbage at Willow.

 

[Hasnain282]

Did the Nurburgring race yesterday. Went with the Honda as it's the car I'm most used to. Wasn't expecting anything special as I ain't that good around here. Qualified 10th on an 8:44. The race was going ok till I went off while going side by side with someone after that it was a bit of disaster but in the end brought it home in P12.



Unfortunately you won't be able to change manufacturer for this next season. Guess I'll be having some more adventures in the Lambo

Round 4 of manufacturers is at a new track, so they don't want to put the rest of the race on the calendar until it's revealed. I don't know why they haven't put round 3 up though.

Oh, so you see the same schedule like me, at this moment ?! For a minute I thought my game is broken or something !

 

[Mr616]

I'll be dipping my toe into this at the start of the new season. Might "bump" into @PirovacBoy on track Hope you're good mate

 

[Tidgney]

Anyone know what Fuji speedway (Short) is? I still think that's something new coming in the update as I've not seen that track in game and I couldn't select it last night?

Also suspiciously missing Saturday in the season

 

[PirovacBoy]

Thanks Mate i‘m Fine.
Well I guess it’s too late to bump into me, as i‘ve Made a decision yesterday after the final race.
No more GTS for me.
Yes, that was it. I have spend so much of my life time over the past 12 months playing GTS, met many People and had an amazing time with u Guys here from gtplanet.
Of course i‘ll keep my Racing Stuff in the Cellar, and maybe 1day i‘ll Be back, but for now I’m done with GTS.
I wish you and all of the others good luck, and don’t forget me...
