Thanks velly

Are there any other rules/procedures we need to know about before joining?

Is tonight's race just for fun or part of a bigger tournament? I haven't had the PS3 connected since Forza Horizon came out last October so not sure how competitive I might be.

[velly_16v_cab]

We have many rules lol
But basically it is Clean racing only. Try to pass without hitting the other person.. If you hit some off the track or off line you must wait for them. It is the end of our season but you will be ok to join. Atleast it will give you time back racing again. Headsets are allowed too.

[Ryan_R]

Sounds easy enough in theory

I don't have a headset.

[Ryan_R]

So what time does it start? Your forum needs a chatbox

[velly_16v_cab]

9pm, i will be online soon, just puttung the baby to bed.

dont worry about head sets, but buy one soon

[Ryan_R]

not sure what tyres to use, have gone sports softs
and what tracks am I practicing on?

[Ryan_R]

lol, I wasn't expecting to actually win any races today. Thanks for the invite; was fun.

Racing was indeed clean except for a problem one laggy person caused on SS5. Tiny amounts of bumping/leaning when not enough room was left but no problems caused by it as far as I could see. Which race was the one that counted towards your points table?

Will try and get some footage uploaded on Thursday.

[velly_16v_cab]

Sports Soft was a good starting point, taking out the wins was a nice bonus lol.

Arie's Lags was really bad on SS5, even killed the restart!
the final two races were fun, there was abit of bumping at the begining but if you read the forum we are trying our best to get rid of that.
the SS7 and the Toscana tracks were the points ones. All will be expained on the forum. glad you enjoyed it.
Next week is the Nurburging for the title of "King of the Ring"

Should be good!

[Ryan_R]

I don't get the tyres thing yet... are people on different ones? When others had good lines I wasn't flying past, only when they made mistakes and I didn't. I think the car itself had a lot to do with my result, was very easy to drive.

I didn't have any problems with 98% of the contact... when you're that bunched up with no peripheral vision (would need triple screen) it's almost impossible not to. Also no headlights in the dark made it a tad harder to see people flying up behind in the rear view mirror. But that Toscana was a fun track considering I don't think I've ever driven it before. I had a great Mt Aso track but it was made before you could race them online, so you can only download it and use it in single player.

GP or Nordschleife next week? Which car?

[velly_16v_cab]

we run a "3 tier" system due to the different level of drivers we have.
Tier 3 = newbie, these run Sports Soft tyres.
Tier 2 = Average Racer, these run Sports Medium (most of our racers are this level)
Tier 1 = Pros, These run sports hards (currently only 3 drivers run this)

the reasoning behind this is to try and equal out the field.
Next season you will see this also with the tier system but using different powered cars.

Currenty we all run the same cars, but a T3 driver will set the fastest flying lap...but a T1 driver will be more consistant over the whole race hence this will equal up the total race time. I am a T1 driver (but not very consistant lol)
I have have you as a T2 driver for Season 6, I am trying to phase out T3 as most of us have been racing for a while now and should be stepping up to the mark.

Next week, not sure what cars...keep an eye out on the forum tho!
