Just added you on PSN Spatt! Couldn't make the practise unfortunately but might be able to fit some in before Saturday!

The pictures in the thread look great, are they all taken from a phone?

No I captured them with the reply function and then entering photo mode... The camera respons is much like a dslr camera in real life so its fun to use. You can't scrub through the reply though which is damn annoying. Gt have updated so you can skip through lap after lap. But not fast forward or rewind. This is really annoying if I want to rewind a few frames to capture something I have to watch the whole section again and pause at just the right place.

As to practice, you didn't miss much. It's going to be a tough race coz the cars are really powerful. Me n Kriss just ended up seeing who could burn the most rubber by doing burnouts and doughnuts lol!
 
Some pictures of last nights antics.

















this was one of my favorites















synchronized doughnuts

















 
Our car looks immense in MNP II!


Love that colour.
 
what do you think of the wheel colour? i was gunna go orange or something mad like that but i think that purl green looks pretty good
 
Yeah they look goods there distinguishable, that's the main thing. Can you remember what the wheel colour was when I sent it to you? I can't remember what colour they are.
 
How is the planning coming on for your series neal, i would pm itz and ask him for website access to edit the series. Site coming along nicely. Shiuld hopefully be up and rinning soon.

@itz i think you need to verify the site mate it wont let me publish it to the big bad world yet
 
Yeah I had a think about a multiclass type of series, but I canned it. It would end up proving to problematic to manage, so I have gone for a Super GT and DTC mixed race season. How's that sound?
 
Good to me mate it is the touring gt series so fits nicely fella

I'm just trying to find a happy medium between the Super GT and the DTC cars, as far as PP goes. I was thinking about 650 pp, but I'm gonna have a run on GT5 tonight so I will see how they both fair at that PP. then I will have to have a look at weight and upgrades.

When are you thinking about opening it up pal?
 
Dont forget that you could run one type in an event then the next event could be the other or even run a single car for all competitors. Up to you bud, it didnt help having the PP readjusted again to 2.09 level, having said that general feeling is that the PP system is more accurate now it has been reset.
 
Hang on what is this other league about? im so confused about it all. were are doing "Road" at the moment which is cars with RM (i get this from the front page of the thread) is Neal going to create another event series

Why dont we do some slower more under powered cars i think its so much fun racing slower cars becuase you get some really wheel to wheel action.

@Neal i dont remember the colour mate sorry. think they where orange purl or maybe just silver to start with. i assumed i would be cool to change the wheel colour coz its gunna me it easier to tell them apart. So jealous of the white wheels on Kriss's car.

@Kriss what do you think of the pics from last night? think we should get everyone online for a photo shoot at some point ;)

Right il start to make things a bit clearer for you all. The Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Tier idea has been binned.

The series we are all running the Lexus in is called the Road Series, this will be for Road and RM cars only upto 650 PP. Some events in this series can also be run at lower PP limits but will never exceed 650.

Itz is working on a Stock Series, well I think the name gives away what that series is about!

Neal is putting together a Series for purely Touring Cars and Super GT cars called the Touring GT Series. He is currently figuring out all his regulations.

The last Series we have within the ORDL will be called the Super Series, for F1, Nascar, speciality cars such as Enzos, Zonda etc that are very high power and possibly kart racing.

This Series will be dormant until the other 3 are established.

Now, we are all registered for the road series and are familiar with the sheet in the OP giving the details of the event.

Itz and Neal have a copy of that form and will be starting threads for their respective Series. As we are already all members of the ORDL we can just PM the manager of that series to enter into it.

New members will have to register via the website when it goes live (a pm for now is ok).

It is to bring every aspect of racing on GT5 AND GT6 under the roof of 1 league that is easy to enter and to understand the format.

The rules will cover all Series and the regulations for each Series will be in the OP like this one.

So if you like road racing and stock racing you can enter both Series under the ORDL League and can build a community of racers that want a well run league who know they are going to get reliable clean racing.

Hope that makes things a bit clearer.

@Spatt Youre so Money Super Market, you dont even know it! Great pics mate, I have already added some to the website and every one on of your images has been credited to you.

Yeah a photo with all of us would be good, might be hard to do unless its the start grid at Monza, I suggest everyone comments to acknowledge the idea and we can organize a practice room for a shoot.
 
@kris i've checked the website help section. Would have to go pro (pay for advanced editing) for other administrators to publish the site. Let me know when you want it live m8 and I'll click the button
 
Push the little red button! Do you like the bits i put in so far mate? Again sorry not trying to take over just wanted to help get it ready to launch.

@ all other members please understand the site is far from finished.
 
No probs at all fella. Lookin good. I'll do it now
 
It's up
 
Access is denied, don't know why pal.


Also a photoshoot is a great idea. I'm in.

Weird, just tried the link and all seems well. Will look into it, if any one else is having problems accessing the site please let me know. I would suggest if everyone can make it we have a shoot after our race tomorrow. Could have a shoot in our ISFs then a quick fun race in a run what ya brung upto say 400 pp.
 
Yeah sounds good.


I haven't practised at all this week, have any of you guys? What's you times if you have?
 
Just had a quick look and the site looks really good. There are one or two spacing issues under the road race regulations tab but really impressive overall.

Great job!

I completed one or two 9 lap stints when I was breaking the car in with an average lap of mid to high 1:46.xxx ish. Is there a way of takeing your starting fuel load down or are we stuck with a full tank?

Yeah me and oikk01 have had a few runs together, 1:45 and under i think, il be on for half hour tomorrow at about 1ish if your around.

@squall, yeah theres loads to do still and Itz is out on the pop tonight lucky git! Pleased you like it mate.

Have not seen or heard anything in our threads from rat or chassy, hope they will be attending tomorrow.

Right just so we are all clear;

The regulation setting that controls collisions in the Series will be kept as per the first race for the remainder of the championship. It was my understanding that by having disable collisions set to off that we would all be solid objects. It has become apparent that damage has to also be set to its highest value to stop cars ghosting in the event of a collision. This was a mistake on my part, I wanted contact to be on a real world setting but unfortunatley I did not realise damage setting was also involved. This setting will remain as weak and I will update after the championship.

If anyone wishes to join the ORDL now is a good time before the second round of the championship. We have space for 6 more drivers to be placed into 3 teams. Please ensure to PM me to join before 8PM tomorrow UK time to ensure we add you to the entry list in time!

Well I just gifted the Lexus to my preferred account and somehow it feels different and my lap times are now way off what they were... any ideas? :(

@Kris Thanks for the clarification. Kinda feels like you're on your own Time Trial rather than actual racing but completely understand your point.

Id check the power output and see if it needs an oil change mate i know what you mean, but it will be changed after this event for all future events. Looking forward to the race tonight.

While im here id like to say a big hello to our new member, edwardovic, i will be adding you to our OP soon.

Edwardovic will be running in the race tonight and requires a team mate.

OP has been updated to add edwardovic and to adjust Squalls registered PSN ID

We have 5 spaces remaining in the Road Series, please PM to join, only 1 round has been run so there are plenty of races left to bag points, join now!
