Race preview:

This is it! The final round! Even though Metal Gear Racing only need 100 points secure it, first place is still within reach of both Raven Racing International and Team Redline. It's anyone's game.

The stage to decide it all will be the 24 hour layout of the extremely challenging Nürburgring during a one hour endurance race. It will be the ultimate test of determination, patience and driving skills.

The race will start at 06:00AM (game time) and the speed will be set to simulate one entire day during the 1 hour race.

There will be no qualifying for this race, instead the grid will be based on the current team standings:

1 - Team FR4WD Driver #1 - Schmitty

2 - Deep Speed Driver #1 - Dibbz ​

3 - Team F.W.t.C. Driver #1 - Kaze13

4 - Team Redline Driver #1 - brentech ​

5 - Raven Racing Int. Driver #1 - ashk

6 - Metal Gear Racing Driver #1 - Angst​

7 - Team FR4WD Driver #2

8 - Deep Speed Driver #2 - SunhiLegend​

9 - Team F.W.t.C. Driver #2 - Toxa

10 - Team Redline Driver #2​

11 - Raven Racing Int. Driver #2 - weekend_warrior

12 - Metal Gear Racing Driver #2 - gutterboy44 ​

It is up to each team to decide who will be #1 and #2. Best of luck to all participants.​

[Metalmurphy]

Let the registrations begin! Warn your fellow drivers!

 

[Mush]

Before we go again I think it's important since the NRL is in the middle (read: the end) of their 1st Season I think it's important that MM is able to finish Season 1 without having to deal with Super GT clashes, since we haven't started up again yet.

So in summary; NRL this weekend, Super GT (possibly) later.

 

[Metalmurphy]

I'll delay to next week it if we don't get enough people.

 

[brentech]

Unavailable this weekend. =(
Have guests coming into town.


edit: actually, if I'm understanding the time right - that would be like 4am here. So while it wouldn't be an issue due to having guests, my wife wouldn't appreciate the racket from the wheel at that hour....plus, you know, I'd probably fall asleep.

 

[Angst]

Will we use weather?

 

[Kaze13]

Kaze13 Team FWTC NISSAN Z34

 

[Dibbz]

Dibbz - Deep Speed - Corvette something something (I forgot sorry )

No.

You put the countdown to 8 AM instead of 8 PM. He was probably looking at that.

Anyways, sign me up!

Ooops.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Edit: Oh it's still at 4pm then? Alright sign me up!

Weekend_Warrior- BMW something 07- Raven Racing

 

[brentech]

Ahh, lol. Makes more sense now. I'll have to figure out when our friends are driving up, but I don't think I can make it. Will be sure to sign up if I think I can.

 

[Risk Breaker]

I see Raven is already complete, but I'll be available as a substitute anyway.

 

[Niks]

Ill let my team decide who should race. In any case I can race as a sub if needed.
Just want to race!!

 

[Konosuke]

I can't make it, it's my girlfriend's birthday so good luck to my team, the 2nd place is already ours.

Not necessarily

Raven Racing Int. can still take it.

 

[Angst]

Lets practice tonight!

Everybody available, join the NRL Lounge tonight for some Nürburgring fun!

I'll be there at the usual time - 21.00 CET / 20.00 UK / 19.00 UCT

Oops

Lol, I was actually ready for racing at the crack of dawn on Sunday. 8 PM sounds a lot better though

 

[Metalmurphy]

Only 5 people so far :/

I'll probably PM some people today.

I know

Just 2 hints for now.



Btw, don't forget that it's you guys that choose which member of a team goes on the Grid. I'm currently putting them in the order of registration but you can change that.

I'm in, FWTC lancer evo TM 99

So is there some genius here who can identify cars based on the engine noise? :P

 

[SunhiLegend]

Sounds like race modified cars to me. DTM, super cars, I don't know but they sound much more aggressive than the cars we are currently driving.

We're in the lounge now, feel free to join us.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Europa League final game, so can't join

Maybe in an hour or so.

Yeah, that's tonight - saw a blurb on the news. So that's why the queen went to Ireland eh?

 

[brentech]

What a tease.

 

[UFRA]

I won't be able to make the final.

I'm actually off of work that day, but I'm finishing up moving into my new place that day.

 

[brentech]

I won't be able to make the final.

I'm actually off of work that day, but I'm finishing up moving into my new place that day.

Seems our team is likely to not have any representation. ={

Sorry to hear that UFRA. (Sorry about you not being able to attend - not about you moving to a new place)

We had a small but awesome practice session today. Did some laps on the Ring and ended up with a rally race on Toscana. We need to do more rally events!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Seems our team is likely to not have any representation. ={

That's troubling, as you can lose the second place. :/

 

[UFRA]

Yeah that sucks.

I'm glad I was able to enjoy the league for at least the majority of the season.

Once I get settled into my new place and I finish the training phase of the new job (sometime in July) then I should be able to at least have a consistent idea of when I can participate.

Right now my schedule is a bit random and hard to work with. :/

 

[Toxa]

That's troubling, as you can lose the second place. :/

any back up driver from other team ?

 

[Angst]

Niks has said that he can be a backup driver if he's not racing for our team. On that note - who besides me want to race for MGR? I haven't heard anything from gutterboy in a while. Sending him a PM.

Isn't it obvious?

 

[Angst]

Isn't it obvious?

Hum? You mean Niks will be racing for us? I don't think gutterboy has checked this thread since PSN came back, so I'm hoping he'll want to race.

 

[Metalmurphy]

[Metalmurphy]

Substitute drivers are not supposed to give points to the team. Would be unfair to open an exception just for this time.



Also, revealing it a bit more:

[UFRA]

LOL I didn't see it at first. Nice.

 

[ashk]

I think I got it

Great championships to have in GT5 since I think all of the cars racing there are in the game (except Porsche and if you replace the Maserati MC12 with the Enzo Ferrari). If the cars are properly balanced, this will be so awesome.

 

[Toxa]

wtf ? it's about a new league ?

 

[ashk]

wtf ? it's about a new league ?

It's about NRL Season 2.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Damn... i knew that second one was too easy

 

[Dibbz]

Love me some GT1, although how are we going to make the cars? ZR1 can be RM'd but what about the rest?

We'll be using PP restriction. Initial tests i've been doing were quite positive.

If any of you want to help in testing just PM me.

 

[Schmitty]

I'm in! Team FR4WD -- Audi TTSundersteer

 

[gutterboy44]

I should be able to do the race. It is hard to turn an Nordschliefe race.

 

[Risk Breaker]

I can still race as a sub, if the grid is incomplete

That said, I should start practising, haven't touched the game in a lot of time and never tried the 8C in the Nurb... I hope it's good lol
