I'm sorry but due to time commitments I can no longer race in this series but if there is a season 2 I will gladly take part
 
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen time issues, I will no longer be able to participate in this series, which is the same reason for me only participating in race 1 last week. I didn't realise this when I signed up, and I apologise profusely.

Ok guys. Thanks for signing up Dano and cgg.

This will move some of the reserve drivers into regulars so I hope you can join us in the last 3 rounds.
 
I have no idea what happened there... i will not be coming back today.
 
Great racing tonight, didnt do so well in the quali's, or race 1, but steady pace and avoiding damage earned me 4th place in race 2. Not sure how I'm leaving 5 seconds on the track though. Top runners are from outer space.
 
Really like that track we raced on today. The first sector has decent twisty flow and the subsequent high speed corners are quite good.

I have to say I need to work on my starts. I seem to drop back on every start and have to overtake to get back to my original starting position. Not ideal at all for finishing high up, but it does give me the opportunity for lots of on-track action.

Cache clearing and router reboots usually take care of this sort of stuff for me.
 
Great racing guys and thank you for your kind words about my track and the championship!
It's awesome to hear that when you have just a few tools to make a good track.

My pace was very good and I managed to get away from turbonator and GT Flaw in the beginning of lap 2.

Their fighting gave me the chance to secure the second place early on.

Turbonator came out as a winner and started to push. He closed the gap to 2 seconds and I was giving it all I could to maintain it. Did my PB of 2:07.7 and finished 2nd! YEAH!

Second race was even better cause I had some bumper to bumper action with a barbie car, driven by Fuelmyfire. For five laps we changed positions. :sly:
That's when barbie car got damaged in the most dangerous part of the track and Fuelmyfire had to settle for third.

Yesterday there were duels like this down the field as well. The most interesting to me was between Sagaris and turbonator. Turbonator at one point got out of shape, when he got on the kerb and over the grass. As a result he crashed into Sagaris and damaged both cars. Sagaris had to pit and turbonator here and later showed great sportsmanship. First he pitted and later he waited and didn't won't to finish in front, giving Sagaris all the points back because CTR Driver got in front of them. As Sagaris said this wasn't necessary in the second part of the race, after your pit stop, but it made my job easier. 👍


This round there were only 9 of us so Ade and I decided to give less points for this event, as there are 12 positions that can score.


Position:..1°....2°.....3°....4°....5°.....6°...7°....8°....9°
Points:...16...13,5...12...10,5...9.....7,5....6....4,5....3
+ 1 point for the Driver recording the fastest lap time in each Race



Big Congrats to our championship leader, LongbowX who dominated this week. 👍👍👍 :cheers:

Being in real life or gaming situation, manners and respect to all make this world a better place. Awesome track Goodwolf it created great battles and bumps(dope)
 
Great racing last night. Both races I pushed too hard and end up banging the front left. But the second race was fantastic between me and Goodwolf, some points with millimetres between the cars!

Yes I hear you. If you act like rubbish pretty soon you'll end up with no one to race, even if you create your own championship.
 
Agreed. I think all the little nudges and crashes were dealt with maturely on both sides. The offender was apologetic and the victim accepting that apology. No malice shown from anyone. Good show from all.

That's the problem, i rebooted router, PS3, cleared cache and nothing happened. Everything was ok until i disconnected, so i wouldn't be loading for you. I hate this on GT5 online mode. It's even worse because i probably won't be going next friday. :/

Before it gets too far away, I have some pictures from the monza event.








 
What am I doin there!!! Great pics Gary. Great series Goodwolf. 👍👍👍

Thank you Gentlemen!
 
Did some practice today and got to the mid 44s. I think a 43 is possible without a tow!

And with a tow up those hills you could get a 42 easy!
 
I've been without power since Monday...hopefully it comes back soon. We got dumped on here. Anyway, I practiced on the weekend and got down to a 43 after 15 laps.

Then as usual, we'll have a practice tomorrow at 7pm GMT (8pm BST) and see how low can we go.
 
I see you guys are having a great time :)

I am not that active on GTP so thats why I write a post about my inactivity in yours championship, Goodwolf. Hope you understand bro and I hope we will race against eachother soon.

Good luck to you all and grab those wheels hard ;)

Thanks mate! 👍👍👍
 
I won't be able to participate in the practice, don't have a PS3 at the moment (haven't had one all week).
 
I will be around for practice but in a little bit.

Longbow is the pace setter again. Will he be able to get the maximum points, and get himself one step away from winning the championship? How will battle for second end? Behind GW and turbonator 5 drivers can lose or win big, and get themselves closer to 4th place.

So many questions that need to be answered. We'll definitely have a great and interesting race tomorrow. Good luck to all!
 
So my Monitor/TV lost the will to show me a picture for longer than 1 second yesterday. It just went over the warranty as well...

I opened it up to check the capacitors, but none seemed obviously busted so I'll start replacing some. I don't think I'll get it fixed by tonight and will try to find a temporary replacement. Still there might be a large chance of me not showing up today due to hardware troubles.
 
Hope you get it sorted out Third.
