GT5 Championship - season 7 - "FDDRL"

[Norbury90]

Same here, I'm liking this track, takes a lot of concentration though. Should be a reasonably short race and a 1-stop.

[Mini1275]

Yeah, should be a one stop if you can keep it out of the wall.

Some of the corners can be quite tricky.

[Roule Duke]

Need to do some laps with the mediums, haven't tried then yet.

Could be a hard race this week, it's pretty fast in sections, wheel to wheel racing will be interesting. Great combo though, really liking having a new track to use, we shouldn't definitely use custom tracks more often.

What times you down to norbs/gw

Did a 32.4 this morning

[Darkdice]

Top racing last night chaps even if we were short handed.

Norbs - get your combo up before 6pm (if you are awake by then)

[Flipatron]

So happy to watch Norbs bounce off the wall in the second race, so sad to see him overtake me when I did the same.

[Norbury90]

Oh sheet, sorry been busy. It's what we tested, you can't add any engine mods. So Eiger reverse, Honda S800 RSC Race Car, standard with rebuild and oil change, comfort softs and mediums.

I was a bit annoyed about that, I barely scraped it and it gave me a puncture... your one was a full on headbutt

Not fun for the first few laps trying to figure out how to drive it with it veering all over the shop.

GW, how does it feel to lose a race?

[Roule Duke]

Good fun last night, shame there wasn't more of us.

Next weeks combo is awesome, from the few laps last night I absolutely love it. Really nice track in reverse too.

Will try and get on in bit....

I'm contemplating whether to carry on...











.....with life .



You've ended my winning streak, you bd!.

It was great fun last night though. Particularly with a tad lighter car in race 2. Maximum concentration was needed though.

---

This week's combo (WHICH NORBS ANNOUNCED LATE, COUGH COUGH) is great fun too, I love Eiger.

What is the ballast for the top four this week Dice?.

[Darkdice]

What's the weight and hp figs

Iirc 103 bhp but don't know weight

[Norbury90]

Mine came to 100bhp with the rebuild and oil change.

Dunno about weight, 800ish at a guess.

Many gamers have been reporting patchy online performance from Gran Turismo 5 in the last couple of days, with random disconnects from online lobbies and “Error Code: 268″ when trying to join. There was even a succinct message added to the in-game news feed yesterday afternoon:

Online Service Interruption

We are currently experiencing an interruption of the Gran Turismo 5 online service.
We apologise for the inconvenience and ask for your patience while we work to restore the service.

Though many suspect the culprit to be most recent game update, the reason appears to be more physical in nature – although Kazunori Yamauchi has Tweeted that he’s not entirely sure what the problem is – and Polyphony Digital are working on the repairs.

The issue seems to affect certain users more than others with no direct link between the effect and the users’ location. Unfortunately this gives gamers little else to do than await good news – which we’ll bring you as soon as we get it.

I sure hope blue can indeed come back with some good points! Am getting much faster with practice. Hope there's no more random disconnections, it happened whilst practicing with gw last night, most annoying.

[Norbury90]

Literally anyone could win the race this week if they stay out of trouble. The ballast is insane through the switchbacks and up the hill. Old G was overtaking both me and GW without any trouble at all, despite his lack of skill

[Roule Duke]

Shut it you. You on later for a practise?

[Darkdice]

Chaps if you haven't already done so I suggest you watch Chris Harris on cars this week.

It's fing epic!

Spa 6 hour in a falcon and the old touring cars for less the 2.0 and pre 66 cars iirc

Awesome!
