We have till midnight eastern time tonight.

The deadline was last night.

 

[AzDesertRacer]

The deadline was last night.

I see that now. Brutal. Thought the 21st at midnight...not the midnight leading into the 21st. this sucks!

 

[Jordan]

Just to remind everyone, the live PlaySeat Challenge race is about to begin!

Here's the LIVE video stream of the race:

[Doodle]

@Adventuruss @gatordaryl @carracerptp

Congrats for your podium finishes!! You made me proud. Now enjoy those shiny new prizes!

 

[Jump_Ace]

Congrats @Adventuruss!

I wish we could have that race show as an intro when players unlock the online portion in GT7, this is how to race online... Well done fellas, that was a clinic!

@Doodle, you are welcome to my GT6 jacket if you'd like ... You deserve at least that much!

 

[carracerptp]

Congrats to @Adventuruss !! Well done, you had the pace and discipline.

I think I had pace but I lacked discipline

I think your 1:35.252 was the fastest lap 👍

Agreed, @Adventuruss had the pace. I was fighting for my life just trying to stay ahead of you @carracerptp. I knew you were quicker!

Great job to you both. Thanks again to all of the sponsors and organizers!

 

[Jordan]

And thank you guys for an amazing show of brilliant, fast, & clean racing.

According to the live stream chat on YouTube, I think you blew everyone away with the quality of your collective driving. You guys set a good example for everything that online racing could be to a lot of people who have probably never seen it before, so even if you didn't win anything, you should be proud of that!

I'm actually shocked we didn't hit 34s with the draft, I think my PB was a 35.4X on lap 6 in practice without draft.

Really, good race craft @adventurerone, I have no clue how you passed Gator

How many people watched live?

 

[Jordan]

I think we peaked at 280 concurrent viewers; I don't have the stats for total viewers yet.

I remember contemplating moving over to cover the inside as we approached turn 1. But @Adventuruss had such a great run, I couldn't see myself successfully pulling that one off. I was just lucky to 'slide' my way in front of you before you snuck by too! I was planning a pass into turn 1 for lap 18. However, I made a mistake near the end of lap 17 and wasn't anywhere close enough on lap 18.

 

[carracerptp]

So thats how he did it, nice.

 

[scca_ziptie]

Was fun to watch, nice job guys. Some great battles throughout the field!

 

[Brend]

I watched live and you guys were AWESOME, I will be watching a lot more races live now.

 

[Adventuruss]

Thank you everyone for setting this up. That is the best racing and conduct I have ever encountered. @gatordaryl and @carracerptp:
You guys are the epitome of clean, gentlemen racers. I would love to have the chance to compete with you guys again.
Also, a shout out to GT Planet @Jordan @Jump_Ace and @Gravitron for putting everything together. And, of course GT Channel for streaming the race, Playseat, Thrustmaster, Go PRO for supplying the goodies.

 

[Gravitron]

Congrats to Russ, Gator, and Car for the podiums!

Watched the stream late last night and was thoroughly entertained for the full 18 laps. When they switched away from the leaders to the other battles those were just as fun to watch.

 

[AzDesertRacer]

Seriously well done to everyone. Also enjoyed watching although i didn't catch it live. You guys certainly show everyone what video gaming could be and should be. Keep up the good work...and looking forward to the next event!

 

[Johnnypenso]

Just found this thread! Congrats to @Adventuruss , @gatordaryl and @carracerptp on superb racecraft and providing GTP with a great example of how racing can be clean and aggressive at the same time...and on Comfort Tires!! Well done, I was glad I got home in time to watch:tup:👍.

 

[LoCoArMeN]

Brilliant race guys! good job and congrats to Adventuruss. Gator put up a hell of a challenge! that was intense!
