What forum lockdown?

is he a member of pistonheads?

i don't really want it to be perceived as getting ringers in for the last race of the series.

He is on here, I think he has applied to the crew as well.

I understand your point about ringers - however as SaipH in his absence would be scoring no points anyway, and races are always more fun with more people in them, would it be possible for him to join in to make up the numbers in a points-ineligible fashion (ie. to avoid annoying VCCM, let him race but say if he finishes 10th, the 11th place person gets the points for 10th, and everyone else is bumped up and so on....)?

New users aren't allowed to post at the moment because of an excess of trolls stposting in General Gassing.

The only concern is how seriously they would take the racing, and if a faster racer who has done the whole series is getting held up will they let them pass?
Sounds like a potential headache tbh, as its the last race of the series could they not just wait and join in on the next one (which will start next week?)

Fair enuff

[egor110]

If he's not a vccm member I'm going to say no , purely because vccm haven't fielded anyone who isn't a vccm member for the whole of this series so it would be wrong of us to.

If he wants experience then pansdown's got a new series waiting in the wings so he won't have to wait long.

I don't think I am going to race tonight.

Feeling a bit rough, don't think I could concentrate for an hour!

Going to grab some food and see!

CIDER !!

Well, I shouldn't have enjoyed that. I started OK but spent the first half of the race going further and further back down the field until I was about 13th I think. Mostly caused by being respectful and avoiding others but messing up my own line, with some notable exceptions who barged me out of the way and didn't bother stopping (not PH this time). And my PS4 decided to save just 3:45 of video rather than the full 15 mins for no apparent reason. But I had a great time, catching back up with people then crashing again and having to do it all over; it was proper racing. Made better by managing to catch Markslick and pass him cleanly three corners before the finish; he'd been the one who barged me out of the way first, didn't wait after a previous coming together (I'd waited for him before that, too) so very satisfying.

Excellent race, so chuffed to end up third after 2 previous 10ths.
A very stressful last 4 laps with Admp breathing down my neck but I managed to successfully hold him off.

Looking forward to the next series now!

I didn't do all that well overall in GT1; glad you helped us to a more respectable place in the team table, Eased

ETA: I think you may have added up DJ and Challenger's total wrongly though; shouldn't they have 158?

They had 110 going into the race djdest came 7th gt 1 so 12 points challenger came 4th gt 2 so 16 points.

110 plus 28 = 138

[Jobbo]

Was there a previous error? Surely their total should be the sum of their individual scores, 88+70?

[Edition87]

First time on GTA since PCars came out, so strange driving in GTA again haha
Good battle with CC last 4/5 laps, i was pushing far to hard, everytime i got close i hit something

[ZedLeg]

Thanks again to everyone that helped me with the mod unlocks.

Anyone fancy running some heists this week? I've still got to host Series A and the Pacific Standard jobs but I'd be up for running whatever. Need to make money to waste on many cars .

[Jobbo]

Zed, you know you don't need to host all the heists to unlock everything and to open them up to be re-run? You just need to do them as a crew member. More profitable that way too

I think I'll be Criminal Masterminding again this week which will prevent me joining you, unfortunately. This attempt seems to have taken far too long, mostly due to me dying

[ZedLeg]

I knew you didn't have to host to get the unlocks but I thought you did to unlock re-runs. I'm pretty sure I'm up for the all in order bonus if I do the last two in order anyway.
