Online Meeting (PAL)

[Southend Rage]

Yes, the 600PP races have a mored 'laid-back' driving style, you don't need as much concentration, but the driver with the most skill should still win, also the Fuji 600PP race is quite fun because of the grid start, which Lancers and Scooby's benefit from.👍

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

The 600 PP Daytona Road Course isn't very inspired, so drop that too.

 

[vanubermaster]

Had some fun racing in full field Suzuka p700 races; there's always wreckers, but I managed to get to the top places of the race a couple of times. It was great racing behind and along side GTP_vanuber7: very clean racing from both of us; it was just a pity you were having a bit of trouble with your S2000.

Great racing with you Rui I didn't know you were a GTP member (as i'm quite new myself) but it became clear you were a very clean driver after a lap or two:tup: I kept trying to make the track as wide as possible and ended up putting a wheel on the grass I'm still learning with the Amuse S2000. I wasn't getting enough speed out of the hairpin and everyone was taking me

This isn't a critisism but I noticed a lot of GTP racers using the Evo 10/Tuned. I know it's a fantastic car but it would be nice to see more people using RWD cars for more of a challenge Let the rear slip out and let the good times roll

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

I'll be using the Tuned Z06 quite often now, as well as the GT-R and Evo X Tuned.

 

[MisterWeary]

Good racing Jerry 👍 You're far too quick for me! I thought I might have been able to mount a challenge in that first race but I dropped a wheel on the grass Next time 👍

Thanks. 👍
I'm struggling to get a connection at the moment, keep getting disconnected right at the last second.


@ GTP_Kelly,
good racing, Kel. 👍
Sorry about the bump on the 1st, I really should look where I'm going.

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Anyone like to race me right now?

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Where are you racing ?

 

[Sphinx]

Just going to do a few at Suzuka 700.

 

[GTP_JASE72]

👍

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Suzuka 700 it is, got a time I can meet you there?

 

[Fyshokid]

Fyshokid, because you used my Mustang in the Fuji races, and you did such a great job organising these scheduled events, I shall give you a free request car, if you want me to tune one that is.

Ferrari 512BB for the 600PP races

i waited for you(i had a red fairlady) you got a 'stang en the other one 512bb

I was a little confused when I saw you waiting for nd 4 holden spd with me. Well it was nice racing with you... And haven't I seen you race before that one?

Oh and Fyshokid, is the idea to change the schedule everytime the online events are updated or every seven days?

Yes ...

Just as an idea...I know Fyshokid has put some good work into the schedule but in all honesty I don't enjoy a lot of them. What are the chances of GTP'ers simply "claiming an event". So all GTP'ers if they want to find other GTP'ers simply go into the Suzuka 700PP??? From my observation it's the most interesting and fun track anyway??? I hope I'm not stepping on toes by making that suggestion but it would mean you wouldn't have to worry about what time you were on?

... If there's still someone following the schedule.
I like racing different race events like: Fuji 600PP, Suzuka 600PP, London 700PP, and HSR... But if there's some race events that everyone hates (Daytona Speedway) I can exchange them with something else...

Not just 1 race, but exclude a couple, and make more 700 PP races than others. Get rid of Daytona Speedway once and for all, but I like racing on different tracks. And I like driving the slower 600 PP cars too.

I will get rid of Daytona Speedway if you like:tup:

600PP races aren't boring, just slow (As seen in the above example (I'm tired))

The 600 PP Daytona Road Course isn't very inspired, so drop that too.

Okay

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Before the mud slinging starts I'll get my defence in first.

I have just hosted 2 races at Suzuka.
The first one just as the race started up pops and little message saying " You have been disconnected from the server" WTF??

The second race starts and before the first corner everyone disappears and I'm left on my own. Not much fun so I quit that one.

So apologies to any and all that were in those races but I can assure you I do not quit if I'm host

 

[Fyshokid]

I'll join the Suzuka 600PP race starting in about 20 minutes (I know... It's from the schedule )

EDIT: I just exchanged all the Daytona Speedway races and Daytona Road Course 600PP races with Suzuka 700PP (I hope everyone's happy with that )

 

[Southend Rage]

Well, i've done 9 scheduled events so far, and only seen ONE GTP member lol, I guess ure all having a lay-in

I'm sorry, but you'll have to print out another schedule

I'm sorry, I won't be joining the Suzuka 600PP race

 

[Sphinx]

Thanks for the races, guys. 👍👍
I hope to be back on later tonight.

No worries, JASE72,
If I had a pound for every time that happened to me, I'll be able to buy GT5 from the proceeds. 👍

Suzuka 600 PP at the :20 time, got it. And I will get on that 512 BB as soon as I can tomorrow.

 

[Fyshokid]

Sorry, but I can't (My younger brother is using the PS3)

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Best I start saving then.

It's happened another Three times since my original post.

Hopefully race you later:tup:

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Sorry, but I can't (My younger brother is using the PS3)

Ah, OK. My older brother doesn't touch the PS3, because it's mine. I seen SouthEndRage in there though, congrats on the win 👍 I got stuck with punters as usual. I'm prepping a car now though, or at least soon, that will blow those Clios away.

Edit: JASE72, I was in the first race you had a glitch. Don't worry, it happens all the time. Obviously the host won't quit when the race hasn't started yet.

 

[Southend Rage]

Sorry, but I can't (My younger brother is using the PS3)

lol, I know how you feel

Hey, ndforholdenspd, I saw you in the Suzuka 600PP race, but where did you start? I'm guessing quite far back because you came seventh, awww I was hoping for you to start near me, so we could have a good race, oh well nvrmind!


EDIT: Thanks fior the 'grats holden!

I have personally tried the 512bb before, but as you can see I was using the Clio, I personally think the 512 is slower but, I never spent time tuning it, oh well we'll see

7th? LOL, I came 5th in my Mustang GT. The 512 BB may be slower now, but wait til I'm done with it Great thing about old cars is they can be made so much better.

I've got time for one more race tonight. In 15mins there is a Daytona Road Course 700 PP event on the schedule. I'll be there so I hope to see some others too.

Edit: Oh and yes, I started dead last in the Suzuka 600 race.

 

[Kelly]

Been racing Suzuka 700pp all day, bumped into a few GTP quite literally and I apologise for that if I hit any of you, it's my first proper day out on the track and I don't intentionally knock anyone off.
Didn't know you hit me Jerry, I've been shunted from all angles this afternoon and thrown myself into the gravel on a few occasions! I still keep going though 👍

Been having some good races with Jaycool (CH) the last few races

Ok, back to it...this is fun!!!
only downside is the wait and the disconnects

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

YESSSS!!! It finally hits me. I've made such a good tune on my Z06/Tuned I enjoy racing it more than I enjoy racing Lancers and GT-Rs. Sure the GT-R stands a better chance of winning, but this Vette has now become more consistent for me (unless I tuch the grass or get throttle happy) and feels better to drive. I'm free from the JDM machines. Sorry, it's just not right for me to drive them, I should be driving something GM or American, that's how I roll.

By the way, who is GTP_sircrashalot? I seen him at Daytona Road 700, and he would've seen me have the most crashes in 1 race I've ever had I was everywhere. I wanted to have a nice clean race with him, so sorry to him for messing that opportunity for both of us.

Cheers mate!

You’re right: racing the Evo X – or most other 4wd cars – is much easier as they are a lot more reliable on pro sim. But as I don’t like turning any aids on (apart from ABS on 1) I’ll just have to get a lot more experience to tame the over steer you get on any powerful rear wheel drive car before I take one to online racing; you have to be so defensive out there that you can’t focus enough on your driving (that is, of course, if you're just an average driver like myself!) - private rooms would/will sure make it a lot easier and better…

Are you in need of a good RWD car setup? I know some people on here have pretty good Vipers I think, and I have an awesome Corvette/Tuned setup I'll post in my tuning garage The Lion's Den pretty soon. It can almost run with an Evo X/Tuned in time trial! Race day and I blitz them because I overtake on straights and under brakes and they can't get back past.

Edit: I also find it funny how severely detuned this Z06 is, and the Evo X is so beefed up yet they run pretty similar times. It is however a shame that I need downforce and R3 tyres to even think about driving RWD quickly, and the possibilty that with standard power and weight this Vette could be all taily again.

 

[vanubermaster]

Gonna head onto suzuka at 20:00 GMT for some races I'm sure plenty of you lads will be on:tup:

 

[CMir]

Been having some good races with Jaycool (CH) the last few races

Are you sure that's a clean racer? I had some races with him and he can't make a pass without pushing me aside

 

[Kelly]

Yeah we had some close races about 6 or 7 of them and he didn't push me once, I never saw him make any bad moves on others in the races either when he was up ahead or right behind me.

Maybe he doesn't like you
