IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: Rules and Regulations​

Additional rules:

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.​

Masacare at Monaco

Me spinning at Monaco. No mercy around these parts

 

[Metalmurphy]

Niks gone crazy on that youtube video lol

 

[Dibbz]

lol to be fair everyone was going crazy. Had so much fun. When niks got himself onto the grass I tired to close the door on him to keep him there. I'm terrible I know

 

[paskowitz]

There was a fair bit of red mist in a couple of those races.

 

[Toxa]

oops sunday GP of Canada so we can race after or earlier or saturday

 

[seattle6418]

Cool, racing one day before E3. However, with F1 and Nascar, let´s see if i can make it. I´ll test this during the week. Sign me up as a reserve.

 

[chillumchilla]

I screwed up my Summer and GMT time on Sunday and thought no one had turned up - doh!

In for this weekend.

 

[Toxa]

I got a bunch of spare cars for this race

 

[Toxa]

we need angst, Mush, TheSeks, ufra, Metamurphy, Goldusher, ashk, Risk Breaker, l2ounD, gutterboy44 ...

 

[Metalmurphy]

Reserves as always.

 

[Goldrusher]

I'll probably be there.

 

[Niks]

we need angst, Mush, TheSeks, ufra, Metamurphy, Goldusher, ashk, Risk Breaker, l2ounD, gutterboy44 ...

Start sending those PMs.

 

[Toxa]

great now we need more players

 

[FootballFan]

Same time as last week?
Then count me in. I'll check later to see if I am in possession of that particular vehicle.

Last races were fantastic by the way. Sorry Dibbz for causing your spin at Monaco. That
car (Lotus) was great fun to race with.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Fuck fuck fuck, for some reason I thought the Elise race was this saturday.

 

[Toxa]

elise race was quite fun

 

[Mobius 1]

Some gifs.

:-( Merciless grass of doom. Amateur hour all the way.

Anyway, I'm in for the next race.

 

[paskowitz]

Which versions of Autumn Ring and Suzuka?

 

[Toxa]

regular track

 

[Dash Kappei]

Put me down as a reserve for this Sunday!
I haven't played in ages but lately I had this itch to try again GT5 online since my Internet has greatly improved and the controls shouldn't be as laggy for me now... I used to ping an awful 110ms to NGI (Italy's major gaming network) and now I'm down to 12ms so it should be way better; even tho my DL and UL speeds are greatly reduced now, that shouldn't matter at all for gaming online and still be more than enough (7Mb DL/1 Mb UL instead of 24Mb DL/5Mb UL). So, if I can practice a bit, msybe a couple of hours before the race and the missus goes to the movies with her friends I'll def join you. But be warned that I'm only there to add one scrub to the grid and have a bit of fun while coming last&lapped, could never compare to you guys. Plus I hate Suzuka, goddamn why is it always Suzuka when I race on NRL

 

[Toxa]

Fuck fuck fuck, for some reason I thought the Elise race was this saturday.

anyway this time it's autumn ring

 

[FootballFan]

I got a bunch of spare cars for this race

Could you send me one please. I can't seem to find them.

 

[gutterboy44]

Put me down as a reserve as well. I just fired up GT5 for the first time in a while the other night when the wife was using the computer. I had some fun doing online shuffle races.

 

[Toxa]

Could you send me one please. I can't seem to find them.

well ok no prob accept my invit "gkrace"

 

[Dash Kappei]

Wait a second... I'm not sure I have those cars. How do .i obtain them?
I was heading online to practice right now...

edit:
I have one, I'm missing the Lutecia

Edit1:
Is PSN (EU) down?
Is there a goddamn way to check the status of SEN/PSN?

This no longer work:
http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Network/Status

edit2:
Based on http://isthepsndown.com/
Yes, is down... Great, just great

 

[Toxa]

WTF ????

 

[Niks]

 

[Toxa]

remember race tonight

 

[Metalmurphy]

I think I'll make it tonight!

 

[paskowitz]

This is probably going to catch the tail end of the Canadian GP. I would move the race back 30-60 minutes.

 

[Toxa]

no prob I'm in the same boat

 

[Toxa]

15 laps autumn ring
10 laps suzuka

 

[paskowitz]

I can't race today I cut my toe open.

 

[Toxa]

...

 

[paskowitz]

If it was my left foot I would still race but it was my right. Damn escalators.

 

[Toxa]

join us

 

[Dash Kappei]

join us

How?
PSN is down again...
4 times in a week, ridiculous

 

[Toxa]

fix this shit

 

[Dash Kappei]

fix this shit

how?

 

[dubc35]

If it was my left foot I would still race but it was my right. Damn escalators.

Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.

Lol I fear it now.

I now have to drive to work with my left foot. Shouldn't be too bad since my left foot is dexterous thanks to GT. Pressing the gas is going to be strange.

 

[Mobius 1]

I couldn't join today, was away.

Did the race happen after all?

 

[Toxa]

I couldn't join today, was away.

Did the race happen after all?

the first race yeah, the second race cancelled

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Was going to join, logged on to have a bit of practice then realised I didn't have the car and that it was an OCD one.

Will have to check in advance for the next race I guess to make sure if I don't have it I find a way to get it.
