Anybody know why UFRA has completely quit with the NRL? Seems really weird. Is he even aware that we're still doing races?
Yeah, I've been chatting with him over PM her on GAF and he says that his work schedule is really messed up and that he has his off days on thursdays and such, very seldom on Sundays. The few Sundays he's been off he had to prioritize real life instead of the NRL. I still hope for his return once his schedule settles down.

Always make sure at least one pair of wheels are inside the white lines! Using the run-off areas as "long-cuts" or short-cuts is not allowed and will be strictly enforced. Missing a brake point and thus overshooting into run-off areas is ok, but when you rejoin the track you must wait until cars close behind you has passed. Missing a brake point is a mistake and should lead to you having less speed out the corner, not more.

Race will be in the GT5NRL lounge, please add this account to your Friends list. Practice sessions will also be held in the same lounge.

Upgrades, race format, players
For the new page.
10-12 cars grids seem fine, there's a bug that seems to hamper players' FFB and laptimes when there are too many cars (>12). I don't know how often that occurs or how severe it gets, but I noticed that most GTP leagues are aiming for 12 car grids nowadays anyway. NRL is still alive 
Do that and send a private message to Metalmurphy and/or Angst on GAF. They will then log into the GT5NRL account and accept your request. Then you are ready to go.
Aventador or Murci SV. Ignore Lamborghini's stupid nomenclature.

Disappointing turnout this week which I should have expected really but ah well. I had a great race until I decided to pit, thinking everyone else would but yeah, that didn't work out at all. I will definitely be using ABS and TCS in the future though, so much more fun.
Not the best race this weekend, so it goes.
This is a reminder of what to expect for next weekend. I am still balancing the two cars.

Well done Pat.
Shame about Rome
On a positive note every NRL race I have done so far has made me really get to know intimately a track and a car and incrementally, how to race cleaner and faster( Ok hands up, I am the still the ultimate backmarker!). When I play in the open lounges afterwards I feel much more confident.
Good to know what the next race is on a Monday, so plenty of time for practice
Question: Has the NRL ever had a Jap K-class race, if not I propose it for future consideration.
Sign me up please.

Right now the Evo is fully upgraded (sans engine lvls) and is ballasted to the same weight as the STi. The STi has less mechanic grip. Hopefully this can be offset by more torque and a higher down force.
Also on Rome vs Madrid. If people want Rome, how about 15 laps of Madrid then 15 laps of Rome? Reverse grid on the second race. With the lighter contact rules that should make for an interesting second race.

That is what the torque converter is for. Just change the power distribution to 90% back 10% front. With tire wear, after 10 laps you will be facing oversteer. Also the Evo is relatively neutral.
Nice. Thanks for putting down the laps.

Race specific rules: Touring car contact rules: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LclTMdcV6kI. Ramming, pitting, and pushing are off limits. Strong rubbing, mid corner contact, nose to nose corner entry, etc are all fair game. Essentially, people need not be timid, but should not be reckless.

Put me on reserves please, I'll try to make it but can't promise anything.

Put me down as a reserve, I would really like to race but with so few people it's not as fun, plus 8pm collides with Top Gear.
I know. Seems the NRL has hit a low point. Shame, really.
Don't worry this has happened before. If we get a good race or two with some nice pics post race people will come back.
Limit the HP to 443 (as per the regulations) and then come back.
I did a practice session today, and it is a darn shame more people can't race... these cars on this type of track are perfect.
I may have fudged that part up. I will go back and check. I am a bit new to this. Probably should have written things down.
Just limit the HP to 443. I messed up on the aero. I need to increase the max PP allowed for the STi. Give me a sec I will have this sorted by the end of the day... lol.
For now just ignore the PP for the STi.
