Yay, now let's see if I can get it. Could you tell what their specs are though? I still haven't seen the DLC cars specs anywhere. And I guess they are AWD?

Alright, I uploaded my race edit of the last NRL race!

I have to head out soon, and it's still being processed by Vimeo. It should be available for viewing in about half an hour at this link:

Awesome video, and great editing, polyphony!

Shame on me about the crash with Gynoug79...

And No 17 almost hit me with a dive bomb :p

Thanks guys! Yeah it's a bit hard to tell who is who. I though we all had unique numbers, but a few cars had #1. Still, even with a number, it's hard to remember who has which number.

Had a bit of free time, but it didn't take too long, maybe an an hour and a half max. :p

Lol, yeah #17 was me. I locked my brakes and tried going wide to avoid you but I don't think it was enough, good thing you turned in. It was a really fun race.

Reserve 3/ Dash Kappei

I prefer to be on reserve so if I'm there and there's a spot I'll race, otherwise I'll spectate but at least I won't feel bad if I don't make it again, I'm glad Polyphony got my seat in the Ring race :)
I will practice anyway, but I'll have to go with the Lexus since I don't have any of those other cars :(

Edit: oh, tuning allowed? Unless someone helps me out with a tune (it's not like I'd ever be a serious contender so you can share with me, lol) I'm out then, can't tune for sh*t

As you guys can see, the grid is now full, with 4 guys in reserve. I would still be very surprised if we get 16 cars on the grid on Sunday, so if you are on the reserve list - don't worry too much.

Also: if you are on the regular list but don't plan on participating or if you're unsure if you can make it through the pretty long race, let me know ASAP and I'll move you to the reserves and move up one of the reserves - Xun is first in line in that case (all the others specifically stated that they wanted to be reserves).

I'd like to take the Audi TT-R Touring Car ‘02, I think it's the only one I have besides the Lexus anyway.

Good point. Next race I'll sign you guys up with the same number as this race. Only matters with cars with numbers you can change, but still.

I've found that I have an extra CLK and M3 Race Car that I already fully upgraded for the previous DTM race we did, so I'll use one of those. No idea which one yet though, I need to do a few laps but Dark Souls doesn't let me :(

Nobody's driving the Alfa? I heard it's a very good car, don't have one unfortunately...
Click to expand...

I would... but I don't have that car.
Btw, is the UCD the only way to get the ABT Audi TTR? What about the BMW M3 RC?

Polyphony

Member
Yeah, I think they were all being sold in the Online Car Dealership a while back. Now there's only the Opel Astra.

You can shuffle the UCD by loading 6 license tests without racing in them. It can be done pretty quickly now with the new track load times.

I have the Alfa, the Astra, the M3 and the Calibra, IIRC. And I think they are faster in that order.

Dunno how many BHP the Alfa gets with these settings though, but it was really really fast on La Sarthe when we raced there.

I hope I can be competitive with the big ass Calibra :p

I have befriended GT5NRL ,now pardon my ignorance what is 20.00 CET in Irish time?

t1320609600z0.png


It's not at 20.00 CET though, but 20.00 BST / 21.00 CET. No idea what time zone you use in Ireland. [EDIT]I looked it up and you guys are apparently on UK time - so 8 PM GMT for you.
However, the grid is quite full, I have signed you up as a reserve, but there's no guarantee you will be able to participate on Sunday unfortunately.

General guidelines that apply to everybody on Sunday:

If the room is full on Sunday priority will be given to the guys with spot 1-16. If you are on the reserve list and guys on spot 1-16 can't get in I will have to ask you to leave to give room. If the room is not full everybody that is currently in the room will be allowed to participate.

If the room is full and you can't get in - send me a PSN message so I can make room (only applies to spot 1-16). You either already have me on your FL or you can add me now (PSN handle is in my GAF profile).

[EDIT] We have a full grid and five reserves. If we end up with 11 cars on track on Sunday I will be seriously disappointed...
[EDIT2] Now I'm really hyped for the race! DTM cars, SPA and full grid!!!1ONE! It's going to be awesome.

Neither the M3 Race Car or the R8 are DTM cars, I dunno why they are considered as such in GT5.

Yeah I know. Same thing with the Lexus RM that is just a RMed Lexus without the liveries used by the actual DTM Lexus.

Yeah, not to mention the entry list has some really fast names in it.
Should be great.

My only concern is that I'm going to another party on Saturday and I will probably not be back home until 7 AM or something... So watch out for irrational behaviour from me on Sunday. :D

I believe Metalmurphy asked why I've moved the races from Saturday to Sunday - there's you explanation. :lol
