Gran Turismo 5 Super GT League, presented by Mush & the NeoGAF Racing League.
- Thread starter Mush
- Start date
OK, I've followed in MM's wake and created a new proxy account for the League. Everyone is to add GAFsuperGT to their friends list. The host's for the remaining rounds will sign in to this account to set up the lobby settings and what not, then sign back into their main account used for racing while remaining in the lobby. By going down to the Community tab and finding the GAFsuperGT icon on the list, you will be able to join the Lounge, even though it's offline. Cheers, Kaz.

i´m back from another week long work trip, and tomorrow i´ll introduce long time lurker and new member of the 2k runners team, Chimilosky.
Dude is a little shy and not a master on english, so i suspect that´s the reason why he doesn´t post.
But he´ll be there, "representing".

You don't even have to use the account at all. We just need to add it to our lists.
For example, if I add GAFsuperGT to my friends list, I can then go into the Community tab and start hosting a room on GAFsuperGT's lounge (even though no one is in the lounge and GAFsuperGT is offline), regardless of being logged in as that account or not.
(Already tested this method with the other GAF racing league for practices. While logged into my own personal PSN account I was able to join GT5NRL's lounge, host a practice and then everyone else could join from there. Easy peasy.)

Yeah. The Lounge settings are persistent. Saved on PDs servers, and whoever joins it first is the host.

My back was killing me
Plus I'm not racing this weekend, my team mate is. I was just killing some time.
nice practice tonight, it was better in the new room.
first I was frustrate by the splitstream effect and also frustrate by some drivers during the practice, they just go bonsai in the corner, or bumping on the wall doing erratic and unpredictable move to protect their position ...
it was dangerous and even more annoying when the damaged was set on heavy, they tried to protect their position with their damaged and crazy car ... wtf
gunter screwed 2 of my race with such behaviour
You are still welcome for the next practice but behave professionally.
with straght line like R246, Fuji or Monza the lexus teams will screwed by the GTR or some NSX , really unfair
it's really easy to follow a car in this track (I noticed that the car understeer a lot when you're behind a car) even if you are a bit slower and you can easily get caught in a endless battle due to the straight line
trying to evade from the car behind you think you're a fast but it's impossible to catch the car ahead which escapes.
so one again tough race (as usual) tomorrow especialy for the lexus drivers.
I expect to be caught in several endless battle so the walls will make the difference

I predict this will be a "don´t hit anything and you get a podium" type of race.
Walls have no mercy.
Once again, 2krunners will be represented tomorrow by newcomer chimilosky
That´s his PSN name and he will add the host to be able to join. Are you guys doing a regular start? or a rolling one?
Chimilosky tells me he still can´t post cause he´s a junior. I don´t know if juniors are this restrained or if he´s just being lazy. Either way, he´s racing.

Of course juniors can post. If he can't post it means his account hasn't been activated yet, not because he's a junior.
I have no idea what's happening regarding the start tomorrow. I wasn't planning to race tomorrow but Stillmatic hasn't gotten back to me yet. :/ If you guys are confident that the new starting system will work I'm more than happy to allow it to be used for this round and the next.
Again, everyone is to add to their friends list GAFsuperGT.

I'm not racing tomorrow, but I would definitely recommend the new rolling start method for the race.
That first corner is EXTREMELY hazardous in this case since it's a 90 degree angle. If one person isn't paying attention and brakes late it will be a disaster. The more people can be spaced out, the better.
Mush said:
Sound good to me.
The steps are pretty simple.
- qualify as normal.
- Host starts the race
- Parade lap begins, polesitter leads the field
- Everyone stays on their qualifying spot and in second gear, single file, making sure not to crash or overtake any car during the parade lap.
- Each racer can only floor it when their car passes the start/finish line.
So we are going ahead with a rolling start? Not sure how I feel about that. But it is worth a try I suppose.
Things I'd like to know:
1. How do we know what place we should start in?
2. What speed will the parade lap be done at?
3. If we get a crash during the parade lap, what then? It shouldn't happen, but let's face it - it will happen.
I may come across as negative here, but imo rolling starts only leads to first corner crashes at 280 kmh instead of 180...

1. You do qualifying as usual and start the race in the grid position for which you qualified. At the start, you slowly get of the line and get behind the person in front of you.
2. We've been doing it in second gear, that seemed to be the most adequate speed after a few tests. Of course there's nothing preventing you from shifting into whatever gear you want, but for safety reasons it's good to stay in second so your speed is limited.
3. We haven't had any crashes while testing. But (IMO) if someone crashes themselves in second gear they deserve it and the race should go on. But if some innocent gets crashed into it's another story, not sure what should be done then. That's why staying in second is crucial - if you're keeping a reasonable distance from the person in from the person in front of you it's almost impossible to crash into him, since there's no braking required for any of the corners.
The good thing about rolling starts is it spreads out the racers - in a standing start you're more bunched up, someone does a better start, someone does a worse one, and it's not uncommon to have 3 or 4 cars abreast heading into the first corner. With a rolling start, you shouldn't have more than 2 cars side by side going into the corner, depending on the distance from the starting line to the corner. That's the theory anyway.
