*COMPLETED* SNAIL-Porsche GT3 SuperCup Challenge: Congrats to our Season 3 Champ, fruitloop31!!Finished

[llNovall]

Alright Fellas,
We have 1 race event to go to end Season 3 of the Porsche GT3 Cup series. With the current state of GT7 (prior to this week's update), I am considering running our final event at LeMans on GTSport. I will assess this weekend if PD afforded any online stability improvements to decide if we stay on GT7 for the Finale. If it remains the same jittery mess it is now, I would like to run this event on GTSport with our old cars if the majority of the group is onboard.
Please post your vote in the thread:
1 = Stay on GT7
2 = Lets finish this on GTSport

Conditions and Confirmation Reminder Post with event details will be out by the end of the weekend.

Apparantly the IGTL team have tested the ps4 version on the ps5 console and conclude that lag is greatly reduced by doing this.
The theory is that the PS5 version of GT7 is bugged in some way and that running the ps4 version on all consoles gives improved lobby stability for everyone.

 

[Bologna_Duc]

Vote either. I will follow pack on this one.

I would love to see the data that supports that theory including the testing methods that were used.

To be clear, I'm not doubting it out of hand but my nature requires me to see the data behind the claim.

 

[Xradkins]

need more clams

This one is empty. LOL

 

[Xradkins]

I deleted SPORT. Like and ex-wife, never again Babe!!!

100%.

I heard it through word of mouth, it looked credible from what I saw, but I have no further information on how or what they did exactly to come to that conclusion.

They are a well renowned group from what I can gather with a deep investment in GT over many years so I doubt they would announce something like that without strong merit behind it.

I half expected someone here would know of someone in IGTL who could have verified it, otherwise I was just spreading the word of a potential short term solution to the lobby woes we are all having to deal with.

Thanks to Duc, Kermit, and Xrad for the replies. At this point, since no one seems to have an opinion on it, we will run on GT7 regardless of the lag.

[Kermit_2142]

I will go down as a maybe (if there is space that is). Would be nice to make an appearance but I can’t commit until the end of next week.

 

[Bologna_Duc]

Confirm Le Man

 

[Roman_GT23]

Sorry I was a bit late since I was out all weekend. I no longer have a PS4. I traded it in for an Elgato Stream Deck for my PC. However I still have Sport if we had to go back to it. But like someone says. I'll just follow with whatever going on.

P.S. Confirming my VW Bettle for entry

 

[socalnatv]

Confirming for Le Mans

 

[Xradkins]

Oh man! That's my laundry night, damn. But, it won't hurt to throw on the crusty chonies one more time. See ya at the start, Snails. lol

[Phlano099]

I am going fishing that weekend, which is killing me, as @llNovall and I are in a tight battle for 4th...what about running this on Friday???

 

[Noob01_lmdead]

I confirm

 

[Trickybrewer]

I'll be there

You just gotta trim back on those fishing trips. Unfortunately, I wont be available this Friday....I have my in-laws coming into town this Friday, and it is too short notice to the rest of the drivers for prep and practice. Guess I'm gonna need to try and capitalize on this one.. how many points do I need??😏

Fishing is really good right now...and I want to catch a fish or two...

 

[Rob Brown]

Apparently, Steve CAN’T tune a piano but CAN tuna fish.
I missed the vote because GT is all but dead to me, however,
I’ll participate in the GT7 Sarthe Finale (mostly since Steve won’t be there to make us bleed like that poor tuna).

 

[Yugofan]

I have to join in for the finale!
Keep that monster in your pants @Phlano099

 

[Xradkins]

My best day ever:

I guess fishing skipped a generation in my family.

 

[ruggermole]

I'll confirm as a reserve.

 

[Phlano099]

Running 3:57.2 right now...you all is just plain scared...

 

[llNovall]

I'll confirm as a reserve.

Plan on racing for this sir...we're already down 3 drivers from the primary grid. I'll forward the reserve livery your way before this weekend. 👍

 

[Kgffy]

I’ll confirm for Sept4th

 

[Marcus Garvey]

I watched the replay and I should probably be docked for the downhill hairpin lap 1 of the second race if I recall correctly. I'll be at Lime Rock for the upcoming race, so all your bumpers will be safe from harm.

My apologies to everyone, and specifically to anyone who was affected.
