I'll be there next weekend, I was around when this started too, but I worked around the clock on my console/racing corner in my office. So I was so unfocused it wouldn't have been much fun for me. And my girl friend demanded we made some good food and relaxed. We made Tacos
But moving from a 50" TV when sitting around 3,5meter away to a a 42" TV less than 1,5meters away is a new ballgame, I need to adapt fast!
I was in the room yesterday and it was a few new faces, looks promising. I heard Arkano said the race turned out fine. Some other say it lags. So how did the new guys feel about racing with us?
Was good racing last night for my first attempt at this. Was different doing one stint on hards but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just a shame I made many mistakes throughout the race.

I didn't practice on hard tyres. so my last 6 laps, i did it to easy on the hards, it almost cost me a place. still i managed to spin at the last lap. I always spin in the last lap. But i lost the race in my first stint. i did alot of mistakes becaus i had that FFB issue(i had to adapt). I had to overtake captainfalcon/Kyaw/Arkano twice. all on hard tyres. whitout the problem i think i could close the gap whit the midfield(Niks/zzxxz) and build up enough gap to stay in front of them when i needed to use my hards. i definetly had the speed...
The field looks promising for next season. We are still missing few competitive players.
After next preseason race, i would propose to open the signups, so eventually new guys can take part.
Concerning the lag, all players have to check their connection. If possible all on cable, no wifi please. The global result of the room speed, is an average between the fastest and slowest speed of all players. It's enough, if one player has a bad internet speed to consult in a lag.
I suggest individually test your speeds: (this is mine for example) http://www.speedtest.net/result/1410714595.png
No problem for me to host the races, I even opened up the router on the ports GT5 require, I used to have some problems before I did it. Some rooms I couldn't join etc, but now it haven't give me one error message (cant join because bla bla bla)
And to everyone check your NAT type. Should be Type2, if you have Type3 you have to forwarding some ports in your modem/router
Looks like things are goin well
Il not be making the race this weekend but the one after will be fine as I will have interwebs by then
Typing this on phone.
Also with the hard tyres, we have to do a set number of laps? surely having to use them will be enough without the number of laps?
Indeed (but you could race the entire race on racing hard)
But I don't see anyone race 30laps around Suzuka without having to pit. If they manage to complete that race without making one single pit stop and be competitive I say give him a medal
they do last longer than softs...People drive hard tires like they're driving softs...consequently they slide...Go easy on tires and they will last the distance...

The point im making is dont slide the tires and when exiting a corner come on the throttle a bit later than if you would with Softs...Do this and you should see a difference in durabilty...

That's not really how hards are supposed to work though, they're supposed to last longer regardless. I think what you're speaking of is actually tyre preservation.
