Server going up in 2 minutes! Please only join the lounge when you see me in there, otherwise you'll become the host.


Seems like we'll have a small grid today. About 8 people.

 

[weekend_warrior]

MM, I'll be joining avaya's team. And I'll be in the room in a bit.

 

[Firewire]

Damn, I wish I could join you guys but I have to run off to work.

 

[brentech]

NTSC Replay should be on it's way to you. Like 33mb zip

[Dead Man]

Thanks for the races. Great behaviour from everyone I saw, hope I didn't cause any problems.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Sorry I was late, I set my alarm clock to wake me up and I didn't quite "get it" when I was waiting on GT5NRL to get online... 40min later I decide to check the lounge anyway and you're all half way done with the race lol....

At least I know that my car has no chance in hell of winning.

Yeah the GT5NRL account is just a HUB to share the friendslist. This way we can have a Private Lounge with multiple hosts, without everyone having to add everyone to their friendslist.


Anyway, I think it went great. Balanced cars *cough*NSX*cough*. No lag, no desynchs. Just good racing all around.

Had some good moments with Niks and Brentech, but ultimately my early pit killed the race for me. Tires just gave up on me on the last lap and I went from 2nd to 5th.

LOL, I won in the M3 CSL too, set a faster lap actually.

 

[brentech]

Going through the replay and taking quite a few pictures. We have some great/crazy moments.

Just messing with you man It's obviously not just the car.

I don't know, have you seen how bad I suck at the Super GT stuff?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Me and BeHest had some awesome practice laps going on afterwards. Corvette vs STi, side by side lap after lap.

I'm having some internet trouble though, keep getting random disconnects, I think my dog's been chewing on my ethernet cable. I have a bad feeling I'm gonna get disconnected in the middle of todays SuperGT race.

Nice, that is the other car I was looking at. I guess I should put up some pics of my uber car :)

 

[brentech]

edit: and wow, you had like zero tires left on the last lap MM

Haha, I know. I went off track on the last 3 corners even though I was going extremely slow and turning like mad. Tires were basically stripped naked at that point.

Wow great pics man!!

I'm very excited for this league.

Now if only MM would make up his mind on what the tracks will be we could start practicing for round 1. *nudge nudge*

 

[Broseybrose]

So mad that i missed this race. Ill be in for round 2!

 

[Broseybrose]

I thought round 1 was today. Thats what the OP says.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Great pics Brentech.

I was thinking of only announcing the tracks only after the previous race is finished, as in, I'll be announcing the next one today but not the other ones.

You guys think I should announce them all at once instead?

I thought round 1 was today. Thats what the OP says.

Today was the opening event.

 

[UFRA]

No today was the opening round. Round 1 is Feb 5th.

 

[Broseybrose]

Gotcha.

Well, im off to add GT5NRL to my PSN friends. Forgot to do that part.

Are there any gaf races on the side just for fun?

My PSN is Broseybrose. Guys please add me, i dont have one GT5 friend.

As long as we know the new track a week in advance I don't see an issue doing it one at a time. I assume you have some surprises planned and may want to keep things exciting by waiting to reveal them.

Well, I think some special events will be quite surprising and fun

These events won't be team based btw, only count for the personal ranking.

 

[weekend_warrior]

- Pit action.

Very cool pic.

How do people get these pictures? You still there as the whole replay plays and look for interesting moments?

Yeah, sadly it comes to that (praying for a true playback system in future patch). Just tried to change to cars that had others around them hoping for action, but thought some pit pictures would be neat as well.

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Edit: I also still need a team to join. Don't assume I will be that fast in all the races though, there are a few tracks I absolutely suck at, and I'm sure MM has a few of them selected!

[UFRA]

Well now, that's a fancy schmancy results screen.

 

[Lion Heart]

Alright guys I'd like to join, any team that needs it really.

All credit for the overlay goes to Norante. It's the one we were gonna use for the replays, but since we don't have Youtube upload feature I'm using it for this instead.

Cool, we had 2 new registrations recently.

 

[Schmitty]

Awesome photos. I'm excited for this league. Should be great fun. I think I'll be changing cars. The extra 200kg over the reg really killed me. I had the speed, not the acceleration.

You can change your car till the next race but we won't allow changes after that. So all of you need to have your car selected by then.

I'll probably take whatever car my team has. Speaking of teams, can you assign me one at random or one in need MM?

Deep Speed looks cool, love the TT RS...if its cool with the captain.

A team is not limited to the same car so you can choose whatever you want And yes, I'll be changing the teams a bit after all the inactive players, and I'll post the new ones soon.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Have you decided what track we'll be racing next week? I'd like to start practicing.

That was a WIP. Correct version is on the OP, interactive and everything!

I'm putting alot of effort into the OP to make everything understandable and quick to reach. Hope my efforts aren't going to waste by everyone ignoring the constantly updating OP.

 

[UFRA]

Do we register for the round by just posting here?

If so...

I'll be one of the racers in round 1 for Team Wankel.

Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02

I've PM'd El Beefo Expy about being the other Team Wankel driver for round 1 so that should be sorted out soon.

Hopefully one can make it. I haven't seen Expy around GT5 at all lately. I'm likely to be out of town this weekend.
Thankfully SuperGT is on break as to not make matters worse.

With the end of month coming, UFRA should probably start thinking about what is desired to drive in February NRPC. That is if it continues going on, the turnout has been less than exciting =\
People need to jump on board.

That reminds me. Tomorrow is the last day to register laps and get the chance to win any purchasable car!!!



Also, I wanted to make my second lap.

 

[avaya]

The 2 AM GMT time makes this tough for me! Will try and make this weekend.

If you do that, let me know, I'll do a 2nd one as well.

Did eternal prize change his GAF handle or am I going crazy?
