O Class: 31.7

Enough for now but there's easily .5 left on the track
 
Managed a T1 time of 0'33.212, but still feel there is at least a second left if I can just take turn 1 flat out! :D

Will keep trying.
 
I've reached my performance limit with this.

S: 39.587

R: 34.661

I can't see anywhere else for me to improve.
 
i'm going to get starter on O class either tonight or tomorrow. getting that POS S class car is too much of a pain. i', comtent with my R class finish though. hopefully i can control the O class car of my choice as well. from the grumblings of the peleton, it seems that will be tricky. but atleast it won't be boring. seems the only joy i can find in this game comes from driving a nearly uncontrollable car.
 
Last try on O for me, really hit the limit at t1, but came out too fast from the chicane and had to let off the gas :( t1 was 31.6

:lol: Yeh, I heard you've been driving your MERCEDES-BENZ Motor Wagen '1886 quite a lot! :lol:...O.G. :D
 
Leaderboards being updated as we speak, stay tuned :D

Edit: Done 👍
 
first laps done in my o class car. it's really not as bad as it has been made out in. i'm nowhere near polished enough in the second sector to even have a clean time but i do have the T1 figured out ok @ 31.717

i'm off to grandma's for a picnin. i'll certainly power back up upon my return and see how it goes. laters 👍

...O.G. :D
 
Ooops!! ... sorry Bob I have not been racing this since 3 days ago .... dont think I will get a time in for all 3 cars either? I have a save for S class and R class and will probably just stick with them.

Jerry (Sphinx) has drawn me into the world of Kai Xlink and for the past 3 nights until about 5am we have been playing GT4 online in some great racing that cant be matched by OLR .... we have raced with Manu Cobalt also and its totally awesome ... I suggest more Europeans get into this because we can have 6 man races no probs!! the lag is hardly there if at all ... only once or twice in a night :) the rest is just straight forward hard racing aginst opponents who will drive the bollocks off their car as badly as you will yourself ... GET ON KAI PEOPLE!!! you wont regret it I swear 👍

anyway I will stop ranting and promise I will supply times for the remaining rounds in the same cars I submit for round 1 👍

Thanks
Laters
 
I was thinking about doing that kai xlink, ive got all the neccesary crap, slim ps2, 4 port switch, ADSL, network cables etc. I'll look into it and try to get it going :D. Im gonna do a few final laps now and submit class O! :D.
 
Do it Dion! ... and you will never turn back man 👍 ... its too addictive :cool:

hope to see you in there soon and we can have some live racing :cheers:


any car !! any track !! and 6 players max 👍 ...what more do you want :sly:
 
Sounds very cool, Ron.

I registered many month ago, but because of the many lag stories I never went on with it. Also need a lot of equipment to get started.

Are you only playing other English guys to avoid the lag or have you been playing other Europeans as well?
 
New T1 of 0'32.604.

Still plenty of time to improve, so watch this space. :D

Is there a technical hitch with the O-Class leaderboard?
 
It stopped working yesterday but I'm not at home so I can't re-upload it at the moment. Tonight I should have it sorted out 👍.

Hi Niels 👍

So far most of my racing on Kai has been with Jerry who is also in the UK ... But I have been in a few 3 player races with Manu Cobalt playing from France in with me and Jerry and it was pretty much lag free give or take the odd stutter :)
Nothing drastic though ... hope to cya in there sometime soon mate 👍
 
It's not as great as it looks. You're still ahead of me where it matters. :)
 
Hey O.G.,

I attempted to send you a PM w/my lap times but after hitting 'submit', I got the following message:

"Sorry! The administrator has specified that users can only post one message every 30 seconds."


So, can you let me know if you received it or not? If not, I'll have to try & submit my times from my work!


Thx-


SRD:
 
Am I correct in assuming that there are about 6 hours left until the deadline?
 
should be ~30hrs
 
Class O!

32.216

May do another run.

Thats it for both classes, gonna submit now.

Could probably get another .2 or so from each class but really dont feel like it. Im happy with my runs now.
