Q'd for tonight, 1:16.710

That looks a bit daunting for a first timer.

Do I have to be on teamspeak? Do I have to enter a qualifying time?

You do not have to be on TeamSpeak.
We get three groups worth of drivers for these events, qualifying times are used (and necessary) to separate the groups.

It's only daunting the first time, after that it's habit.

I'll likely compete in the next TPRA event 👍 I don't think I'll do this one as I really don't enjoy driving FWD cars around HSR much at all

Ok, thanks for your interest. 👍
We also run Wednesdays and Fridays. With this months' online event roster, Mondays are HSR FWD, Wednesdays are AWD Fuji, and Fridays are on the 10 lap 650 open @ Suzuka.
Hope to see you and other NTSC gamers there.

Looking forward to the race tonight. Being a first timer hoping to not make a fool of myself. Submitted my qualifying run of 1'17.382 not fast but hopefully I will be in the mix.

 

[clacksman]

I think 1:17.382 isn't too bad, but HSR tends to squish the quali times a bit.

Q'd 1'16.654

Earth, how did you enjoy this tonight?

KART racer i enjoyed myself, the organization was great. It must take an enormous amont of effort and coordination to do this 3 times a week. Only thing I didnt like was being stuck so far back in the field because of my Q time and s tarting 6 seconds behind the leaders every race. Ill put more effort into my next run as I waited until literally the last hour for this one.

had an iuncident with jlbowler in the first race where my car got loose and started doing tank slappers until i hit him. It was an accident and im sorry, a result of having so few laps with thi scombo before racing.

I can make the monday and friday races. PMs are cleared.

i also have videos of the races, will post them here when i upload them.

EDIT

JLBowler incident. As you can see 100% honest accident. Car started to wiggle and I couldnt stop it until I hit him.

 

[kart racer]

No problem. Once you run more and others run with you, this little accedent will go by without a blip on the radar. Glad to have you running with us.👍
BTW If you are a GTP tagged driver, ( or any other team ) fly your tag. As there will be a team championship in the near future.

It was our pleasure to have our fellow racers from the Planet out on the track with us last night. Madaise and I had some great position exchanges in race 1 and I sincerely hope to be able to race with him again soon.Bluearth I didn't get to race with you last night but Im sure if you continue to race with us I will. I only ran 6 qualifying laps last night, as you mentioned it is a lot of work to host these events and the races come first then my needs.
The TPRA is a unique project from a unique group of guys from both the Planet and the PSN. It is an imitation of a project I worked on in the late 80's for combat flight simulations. The goal of the TPRA is to provide top quality racing for all Gran Turismo Enthusiasts no matter what their team affiliations.
There are no TPRA tags there is no TPRA Forum,the TPRA is only a sanctioning body that takes care of the huge amount of work required to organize and host events of this scale and frequency. We hope that in our efforts we will bring all of the GT communities and race teams closer together and provide a place for everyone to come and enjoy racing.
I would like to add a thank you to Jordan for allowing me to post these events here and to Sphinx for getting me going in the right direction.
I would also like to thank Kartracer and Clacksman for being my eyes and ears here at the planet and all of the GTP racers that have joined us in some great racing over the past year.
TPRA has a birthday coming up June 4 we hope to see all of you at the party we will post details in the May event thread.
