I guess so... Now that I have three days without school I'll try to practice more

It is really wierd... in time trial I got 1:25.717 and online I couldn't drop the 1:27 mark...

Online my best was a 1'28.xxx and offline it was a 1'27.

It's actually better to practice online, on free run your laps are about 2 seconds faster. And I'm still on high 27s, I need a lot more practice.

Maybe it's the draft from cars in front of you.
 
Yesterday I had some practice with our guys and I just couldn't keep up

It's not because of draft, it's because of some other reason I can't comprehend yet, but generally, laptimes offline should be 1-2 seconds quicker than you would run online. My best time so far online is a 1:25.109, but 24.8s are possible at the moment.
 
After looking at some seasonal event leaderboard (can't remember which) I got scared of racing with you @doodlemonoply. And the reason why offline is faster is probably netcode.
 
Any practicing today?? I might play hookie from working lol

I can only hit in the low 1:27's, but some of these other guys can hit low 1:25's. I saved a replay of a short race we did so i can study their lines.

Damn it, never remembered that...
 
I managed to shave off a second from my lap times, with a best 1:26.6. I'm getting there!
 
Good job. I'll get you tomorrow. Just wait for it :lol::mischievous:

:lol: :p
 
As much as we try there will be touches. I guarantee it

In an hour or so I'll be opening a practice lobby. Is anyone here able to attend it?

EDIT: I can't host due to connection problems... Damn the internet!

Firstly, I'm really looking forward to this race ! :)

Reading the OP and subsequent posts, it's not entirely clear whether we are doing a rolling or standing start, not that I have a preference, nor that I have I say but it would be good to make things clear before the day! If we are doing a rolling start a few basic rules wouldn't go amiss, speed limits etc...

Also, I am curious if damage will be on? Just as it isn't stated anywhere.

As @AlvaroF asked in a previous post I presume the 'two wheels off the track / two wheels on the kerb' line though the last chicane is permitted?

Keep up the good work ;)
 
Standing start will be used.
No mechanical damage.
Two wheels on track. Kerbs count as the track.
 
I'll have to drop out :(. Going to my Dads.
 
Just finished another practise for this event.

Attempted to do a full race run in a private online room, I haven't played much online on GT6 yet but I have just experienced some of the glitches that have been well documented on other threads.

I started the race (as per conditions in OP) and happily went on my merry way, laps beginning in mid/high 1.26s and getting to high 1.27s by lap 25 (apart from the laps I came off track). I then entered the pits for tyres (no fuel), when I came out I couldn't break under the 1.28 barrier and the car's handling was very poor, also the screen went very dark (on and off), gauges etc were still visible but I couldn't see the track/scenery.

Eventually the screen when totally black. I had to quit the race at around lap 34.

When I entered the track back in practise mode everything was fine and first flying lap was 1.26:6xx.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this / anything like this??
 
I've never experienced graphical errors but I have dealt with the pit glitch.
 
Is this something that effects most races then or was I just unlucky?
 
The reduced performance was most likely a result of the dreaded tyre glitch, where the grip setting seems to be wrong (e.g., using SH when it actually feels more like CS). The lighting is a problem around all tracks, but yours seems to be a much more extreme case.
