I'd love to race with you guys but I guess that I need to get some race cars first. I have the Calasonic GTR but I want that Xanavi.

Things to note:

-Still wouldn't mind a NTSC replay for Monza.
-We need to talk about the format for this weekend. Never mind the weather, how are we lot going to get qualifying and such done? I say we kick things off maybe at least 30 min earlier than normal.

Looks like the next race will be pretty interesting:
If Dibbz can finish ahead of Toxa Team Ni-San will end up on second place for the season. If Toxa finishes ahead of Dibbz by more than two positions Capsule Corp Racing will end up on second place.
At the same time Dibbz is competing with Toxa for the second position in the driver standings as well. Toxa has a 35 points lead, so Dibbz need to drive very good indeed to beat Toxa.
2K Runners has a very solid lead though, only way that could change is if they get a DNF and Toxa or Dibbz wins and gets extra points!
This will be a nice race to watch! Wish I was racing though

What do you mean endurance? Oh and I'd love weather on for the record.UFRA said:I change my votes:
Time change: Yes
Weather: No - after the practice session the rain really pissed me off.
Endurance: Yes
Mush you really need to decide what is going to be on in the race soonish though. Don't leave it until Saturday. I don't wanna spend time practicing only to find out its dry only or something.
I was just asking a question! =PUFRA said:Everyone relax.
As an official representative for the NRL, I can confirm there is NO event planned for this weekend.
Brentech - you're fired for causing a panic.
I thought there was an event since the calendar had one for the weekend, but wasn't sure if the changes to teams effected it
.
Since there is no event, it's not really a big deal. I just want both leagues to thrive and continue going...
I wish we could set the race at time duration instead of # of laps, making it a "real" endurance race setup. As you say, there's a real risk the race could drag on for quite some time.ashk said:Hope you take rain into consideration for the race duration, otherwise 1h30min could change into 2h30min

Filled it out. But yeah: I'm not going to be back for Season 2 as: A) I'M NOT THAT GOOD D: and B) GT5's trade restrictions have pretty much killed the love of the "game" for me. I still like the driving, but the grind for upgrade parts/new cars/etc. just kills the fun for me.

That link will take you to the live stream of the race when we do it. You can watch the entire thing live this way thanks to Vissione.
The issue is that you, without intent, could get in the way for someone. Especially if it starts to rain. And imagine the meltdown in the forums if someone not racing happened to ruin the race for someone that is racing.Kaze13 said:
And just hanging back might not be any insurance. With damage at heavy a small mistake might mean a 30 minutes lap limping back to the pits...

Just come to the practice sessions then. It's really not fair to ask the other members to allow a spectator car on the track just for the sake of it. No one expects you to be disruptive, but accidents do happen, and it's not a risk worth taking.

Preview write-up by Mush
After 7 rounds, nearly 1000km and over 150 laps of racing, it all comes down to this. The stage is set, and that stage happens to be the most daunting race track in the world, the Nurburgring, or the "Green Hell" as it's more commonly known. The Nurburgring is composed of several layouts, but the venue that will be hosting this weekends grand finale is the "Gesamtstrecke", which is the Grand Prix circuit and the old Nordschleife combined. This 15km long monstrosity can only be described as the ultimate test of driver and machine, which is no wonder auto manufacturers from all over the world come here to test their creations. However, this weekend will much more than a test. It will be a time for all drivers to put all their skills that they have accumulated over the season in to motion. The Nurburgring is a gauntlet of different surfaces, track widths, and just about every corner you could think of. It could easily be mistaken for a street circuit as it features armco stretching the entire span of the track on either side, and only a small portion of grass between the barriers and the track itself. This truly is ultimate challenge for any race driver.
Since the Drivers Championship was wrapped up all the back on the streets of Special Stage Route 5, all that remains up for grabs is the Teams Championship. 2K Runners leads with 660 points, with Team Ni-san and Capsule Corp Racing duking it out for the runner up spot, respectively. Capsule Corp has held the advantage over Team Ni-san for most of the season, until 2 consecutive victories in the last 2 rounds for the 350Z entry turned the tables, and they now lead Capsule Corp with a slender 20 point advantage with 540 points. Back in 4th place is NZGR, the highest placed Honda run squad, with the GT-R of Foxtrot Oscar only 10 points behind the NSX with 360, and the Eneos SC430 of the Flaming Deers in close reach of both teams with 305. Further down the field it's an even tighter race for the final placings as positions 7 through 13 are only 90 points apart. Anything could happen by the time the chequered flag falls for the last time this Season.
The Nurburgring has earned it's reputation as the harshest mistress in the world of Motorsport over the years. One slip up over the course of a lap could mean game over for any drivers hopes of placing well in this years table. Who will prevail and come out on the top of the heap at the end of it all? We will only know come
(HERP DERP OSCAR FOXTROT HAS A HORN)
Great write-up Mush. This will be exciting.
Although you should have mentioned how my GTR has an advantage since it has a horn.
As others have said, it really is a risky situation to have someone else out there 'just for fun'. This is the final race in the season, and not only is it a critical battle for positions in the rankings, but it's also a super difficult track. We've spent the whole season practicing and building up to this.
It's not like you are just joining us in the beginning of a season. You simply have to wait 1 race, and then sign-ups for season 2 begin lol.
Also, there are many other members in the league who just have to watch the stream, it would be unfair to let some people join the race just for fun, while others can't.

Thanks a lot for filling this out man. I know you haven't had the best time this season but I thank you for still turning up and giving it your best shot (and also hurrying up my ass when I needed it).TheSeks said:
Some things to note:
-The lobby will open at 20.00GMT. The aim is to get qualifying going by 20.45GMT AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST with the race starting at 21.30GMT. Let me know if this works/doesn't work for you, we can still change it.
-I will be setting up a finale discussion topic over on Gaming side on race day for several reasons:
1. Exposure. You guys have been so so amazing over the last 2 months so it's only fair that the rest of GAF gets to see some of it's finest compete for glory. Plus some more potential entries for Season 2 doesn't hurt either.
2. Every fighting game/tournament and their mother gets a fucking topic every week, why should we have to be regulated to the dungeons of the "Community" section?
3. vissione has been working his ass off all Season, he deserves more hits. I mean, who the fuck comes into a lobby on race day and announces they will be streaming the race live over the interwebs, for nothing? He wasn't asked, he wasn't told to; he just did it. You have to be a pretty awesome person to take out your own personal time and resources for a bunch of complete strangers.
