The next track is Nurburgring GP/F tonight, and next week is the season finale at Spa :)

If Falcon & Immortal can vouch for you then I don't have a problem with you joining the league :) Although I'm gunna ask that you post your internet connection speed from speedtest.net.

We'll be doing the same thing we did last week in regards to doing a couple of small practice races before qualy to make sure we wont lag into oblivion.

i know him he is a good driver
 
what is with this Arno from last race he dont drive more??
 
i like the fact that were getting more and more good drivers, it makes the competition better & makes the rest to push harder
 
I love me some drum 'n' base ;)

I'm hopping on for practice now btw.
 
Can someone pm me on gtp when they open a practice lounge or msg me on psn please.

Thanks , Good Luck today .
 
I don't mind anyone joining in for our last races, but then the intention should be to stick around for the next season as well.
Available cars is all the NSX and all the Lexus cars.
The Lexus cars are allowed to give stage 3 engine tuning, but you will have to limit the BHP to 502BHP (gives you the same PP as the GT-R with full down force) BHP test will be made before the race start.
The GT-R Woodone is also free, but it's a reason for that, we are working to get it up to par, but so far no tuning allowed.
Also the Yellowhat YMS Supra ‘05 is available, but I haven't put any work into it to get it up to par with the rest as it will most likely be removed next season together with its older brother.. 97 supra.

Race start tonight 21:00 GMT and you need to send a friend request to ErikAndre71. Race will take place in my lounge witch will open up hours before the race for free run so you can practice. As we do race in a private lobby you can't have NAT3 and it do demand more of your bandwidth so I really do hope you have some bandwidth to use. If you bounce around like a kangaroo you will ruin everyone's pleasure in the race and we could do without you. So please post your speed from here: http://speedtest.net/
 
I will jump in a Lexus and see you tonight then.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1601033616.png My internet is fine, if I skip around for you I will leave.

I have raced in a Lexus twice so I have no idea how to tune it or whatever but I will give it ago
 
Posting a good set up guide from the guys over at PURE JGTS, since it's probably the best set up guide I've found for GT5, and especially since it relates directly with the SuperGT cars :)

Guide is here! Click me!

Scroll down that page to find an actual guide/explanation for each setting, and there are also some pre-set settings in there too.
 
Terrible race,

The mess in the first corner was my fault. there were some cars lagging i try to avoid it on the left side but lost control on the grass. The second start was the same for me, now i yielded to prevent it and in the Mercedes arena everybody gone wide and suddenly everyone pop-ups back in front of me. very strange.

Neterdragon on the wrong strategy, Anastasis on the wrong tyres was not enough for me to stay ahead. I knew i was slow on the hard tyre and decent on the soft but i made so many big mistakes in the first half of the race. I did a good second half but everything was already lost. At some point i saw Netherdragon and Anastasis in the distance. But i made some small mistakes But i could not get near them.




I feel sorry for erik and falcon.

On my screen erik slows down, i unlapped myself, then he shoots like a rocketship in the gravel taking skendigi i thing whit him. very unlucky.
 
Is GP quiting the championship? a shame really. he is a really bad loser IMO. After doing one mistake he quits, He certainly have the skill to get back in the race, maybe not for the win but podium.
 
Race was laggy as heck, as always this season, made a massive cockup coming out of the hairpin with Falcon on the first lap of the restart and ended up getting catapulted into the wall. Pretty sure I went wide a couple of times too.

Collided with a couple of other people, I think I pushed Skendigi into the sand just before the back straight, but I don't remember, the difference in speed between us was just insane.

Since Arno isn't competing in this season, everyone gets bumped up a space in the official results.

Really feel sorry for Erik & Falcon too...I know what it feels like to DC right near the end of an endurance race. Sorry for ProPersian too, running out of fuel at the very end :p

Finishing in 3rd doesn't feel very satisfying after how laggy it was at the start again.
 
Signed up to this series a few hours ago and thanks for letting me race at short notice :)

The past 3 weeks I have had man aids and it really sucks playing GT5 ill on long runs :( What a long race that was haha!

Had a few hits from the back at the start. In turn 3 the American dude went for an overly agressive over take in my opinion but its ok. We came together again and we are both to blame. I knew I was losing mad time behind him so I went for a overtake what was a long shot but it was agressive like his one on me. He turned into be so we had a big crash what was a shame but hey thats racing.

I was going slow on my second stint as I didn't want to fall off the track as I thought I had hard tyres on. I woke up a bit and remembered I had softs on so I was going slow for no reason lol

My car was so slow on the straights as I didn't have set up so my gear ratios meant I was going to be a tank on the straights :(

It was a nice race, I would have enjoyed it more and got a better result if I spent some time practising and if I didn't have man aids but still I enjoyed it!
 
Turns out Falcon pushed ProPersian into Immortal who in turn pushed me wide at the first corner making me drop down to 5th. Then coming out of the hairpin Falcon lag tail slaps me into the wall :lol: :lol: I gotta say, from the people behind me, that was quite a sight to behold.

Other than that, the start seems fine to me.

I hope you turn up each week, you're a good addition to the season :)

I didn't quite see the crash at the chicane, but I sure as hell took the opportunity you gave me :sly:

Also feel free to test all the cars you want to now with only one race left, there's no point limiting yourself (although you will need to use the same car again at the finale at Spa next week :p).
 
terrible race for me, went off on 1st lap misjudging slipstream which lost me a load of time, then i decided to try and make a 2 stopper work....BIG mistake...
lost a place to anastasis because of it, though I was so slow today I had no hope of finnishing much higher than i did anyway.

been a good championship for me overall, very happy this year.

won't see u guys at spa as i have other plans next weekend but have fun guys.

unlucky for eric and falcon with the disconnect as well, and dont worry propersion, ive run out of fuel before as well on a race, really sucks. though I ran out of fuel 1/3 of the way round the final lap of monza when I was set for 3rd....you can imagine how many places i lost there...
 
I'm just really sad right now.. I had a great race until..

I was on a 3 stopper and it worked out good, my tyre wear was actually worse in the race than in practice so it was a challenge, but it worked out great. My settings made my car accelerate very good out of corners, but corners did feel very slippery. But I saved myself with the very good grip I had out of the corners. It was so good so people who were all over me into the turn didn't seem to get any slipstream on the straight after the corners :) Just need to fine tune the curve speed and I probably could have been down to 51's or even 50's

And to everyone finishing the race or got disconnected in lap 42 or was it 43.. Thank you for staying. Good race witch could have been better without some lag.
 
yes verry sad with your disconected Erik.
Maybe make Voice Chat off maybe then its bether for the lobby.
 
Hi guys haven't watched the replay yet but I must say I wish Erik didn't dc because he smashed me right off the track , its been an unlucky racing weekend for me but hey that's just racing .

Ill just call the collision with Arkano a racing incident he was on newer tires and just trying to get past , I know how that can be so ill let that one slide .

The chicane crash with stretchy was uncalled for , he made a banzai move and we both had to pay for it but we are both rookies to this racing series . I'm sure he won't make that kinda mistake next season . I will check the first lap incident you spoke about Stretchy saying I did a bad overtake on you . My apologies if it was unsportsmanlike , I myself can't remember so I will view the replay later and let u know .

If possible guys could I test the yellowhat supra next race ?

I know you are considering dropping the supras next season . I'm not sure why you would maybe the castrol because the weight is so much higher than the others but the yellowhat should be able to stay I think.

So once you guys approve I'd like to test it in Spa .

See you all next week .
 
It was a pretty average consistent race of me... Did a good stint on hards, was always 6-7 sec behind zzxxz, until i spun at the 9th lap in the big back straight before the chicane:odd:
I lost 8 seconds there and nether catched me...
Entering the pits, i saw my fuel and went to change from hards to softs. I changed the Rear Tyres, and then moved the left stick up and immediately press the X... But the cursor moved 2 "bits" instead of 1... and that was the ok...
Pitted the next lap to put the correct tyres... The race was kinda boring till the last stint, where i was trying to catch nether:tup: I did a fairly easy overtake in the first chicane, but i guess he let me, cause he know i was on fresher tyres...
My difference from immortal was around 2:35 :scared:
How much fuel did you put totally in your cars??
And man, My Z burnt hell of rubber and fuel(Put 60 litres totally, and my tires were almost done after 10 laps)

I will come next week at Spa for sure unless something comes up. I need to practice a bit more as I am very rusty with my driving at the mo but I'm sure I will come good at Spa :)

I was around two-three seconds a lap quicker than you, I was shocked when we came out of the hairpin I was side-on with you, because I wasn't expecting that at all, and then at that right-hander onto the straight I thought there was enough space, but I must have misjudged how early you broke or something.

I didn't see anything wrong with you & Strechy at the start, other than you & Zzxxz pushing him off line by about an inch, and then you overtook him at turn 3 (which was a legit move imo).

It's so much slower by stock, but as long as Erik doesn't have a problem with it, I don't mind.
 
Sorry that i didnt show up yesterday, i have no internet from friday as virginmedia is working in my area right now, hope you had a nice race.
 
it was a ok race overall. my setup wasnt really good for this track as i didnt change anything since gvs, i was competing good in the 1st 2,3 laps at the top with arno & immortal. but i whens in for the atack at corner 1 but misjudged the breaking and slipped onto the gravel.. lost some spots got me 6th or 7th. tried to get back in the race eventually god 3rd i think.. i ran out of fuel misjudging the amount i had to tank the car, i did only 20 liters . 5 liters more would of got me ending on 3rd place. but it was an ok race overall.. not my best track definately. got some bumps 1st corner after start wich was pretty funny actually. someone hit me from behind. i hit immortal immortal hit arkano i think. he whens with i got hit again and got on the right track.

got a litle bump from falcon when he came out of the putlane 1st corner, but no problem since its the end of the season i dont mind that..

PS. for that other league we should do team practice after the draw of tonight & our car choice, really want our championship to win it all.
 
I haven't checked the replay yet as I obviously need it sent to me first.

But some things I noticed during the race witch I didn't really like.
First of all when people tries to out brake me they should know I am just as competitive and will brake late. But I brake soon enough to give the room the attacker deserves. But when the attacker can't turn his car before he is outside the track on the other side of the track it wasn't given room for me and we call that diving. Not consider to be clean in my book. It's a desperate try to overtake witch should only be applied against AI if you really have to.

And the drive off areas are there for safety reason and not a expansion of the track guys. Saw from my view a few drivers used it as part of the track.

I also noticed some very good racing so it is not all bad, but I really think someone should get a grip. Still a good race guys. Just need a bit more respect for the others on the track in my opinion.
 
Skendigi why did you started last and at the next start you were 5 places ahead. and anastasis don't play around when we restart please 👍


I also got wide in those runoff areas, a few times by mistake.

Yeah we should all get online at the same time a couple of nights a week leading up to the tournament so we can practice together.
