indeed it should yes

Just to reiterate what I said yesterday folks:
please note the lounge will open pretty early so try and get on as soon as possible to make sure those that want to race are able to see it and get in.

Lounge will be up from 20:00 if not a little before, with qualifying starting at 20:45 for the race to start at 21:00.


I'll post on here later as a reminder then again when lounge is ready
smile

Thanks all.

Same for me! First time since the release of GT6 I can't get into a lobby. Keeps saying it's full despite only 8 people being in there

Router and everything else completely reset and same problem. Definitely a Sony/polyphony server issue.

Some great racing tonight especially enjoyed y2 taking on oversteer at the end, gaining the place, loosing it on the last lap and nearly clawing it back at the line.

Was gutted I got booted especially going from 4th to 3rd down to 8th and back to 3rd ready for battle with Gannon, although I took 3rd when he pitted I still had to pit in them last 5 laps so think he would have taken the position back.

And a nice crash near the end of lap 30 between Gannon and Kev blocked the track luckily I spotted a small gap and fitted through smile

Really enjoyable night so thank you y2 for putting it on and looks to be a promising series, roll on the PH calibra touring car championship next week wink

Got to lap 17 and disconnected from lobby server! When are PD gona sort out this issue? Was just starting to have a good battle. Pleased with my S2000 though. Sadly I'm on nights for the next 2 weeks so I'm out of the next couple, and no doubt I'll be booted out of the next one I'm in again frown

This could be it for me and GT now to be honest, it's beyond a joke.

Watching the reply as we speak, taking pics and stuff.
I'm Really glad you guys enjoyed tonight, great dicing with Gannon then MrOversteer....I've not had such an intense rae in a loooong time.


Those Calibras are in a class of their own, any thoughts on what to do about them if anything? I don't like banning cars so the sporting thing to do would for people to "choose" to only use them once or something and I really don't want this to become a one make series for the remaining 480pp races.


Thoughts guys?



Thank you all for taking part, I look forward to next week.

That's a tough one, I've tested about 1/4 of the allowed list and a few in the probably allowed list and nothing came with a second per lap round silverstone!!

It depends what someone wants from the series really? I enjoy the racing so went for something in between quickest and Colin and found that worked well, guess it's all about individual choice.

If everyone turned up next week in a field of calibras I'd just pull my calibra out, but I hope it doesn't come to that, luckily for me the Ferrari is so expensive you shouldn't see another in the series.

Best I could manage in the S2000 was a 1:06.1
On the point about banning the Calibras. Tonight was probably the closest racing I've had pushing on to the limit to catch Y2 and oversteer both of which I had a fantastic, hard battle with. At the same time I was having a tactical fight with robin as I pitted earlier to try and jump him when he pitted. If the Calibras were banned then maybe there would be battling all throughout the field?
Though if they were banned I would say let the points scored using those cars wouldn't be taken away and the ban would only be placed on 480pp category.

I won't be using a Calibra as it goes against my down tuning rule
