Thursday?

Mrs is out so I should be able to make it. I was going to go iRacing but I'll be humiliated by you lot instead.
Yes tomorrow lobby will go live around 8pm. I've updated the group chat now on psn if you are already on there if not send a friend request. Did receive one earlier on so not sure if that was you.

Not me, I'm already in. Need to find a headset though. The boys one plugs into the usb, I wonder if he has the adapter to plug into the controller.

That was me , should be there tonight.

Although where do join lobby’s, I looked last night and gave up? Does it unlock after so much progression?

At the PP we are running, it seems like FWD is the quicker option. Have you unlocked all of the zones by completing menus? Its an area of the map called multiplayer...

Edit... you unlock it after menu 9

Think is the 8th or 9th menu to unlock multiplay bit daft I thought. If you can't make tonight we be running one every Thursday same time also if I can do a test session on the Wednesday for people to test.

Can't make it tonight but will join in some future ones. I'd prefer short - medium length races (5-15 laps).

I think being on the same tyres and having a minimum weight should make the racing closer and put the focus on driving/overtaking skills and setup rather than having a car/tyres that suit the circuit.

Yea we did a test last night see how things work it may take month or so of trying different things but once we have sussed out a good format we keep with that. Be good too see you next week. Send me a request on psn and will add to the chat over there.

So just that everyone know few had a little test last night bumped pp up to 525 and looks like fwd is the fastest route. I start the lobby around 7.45ish aim for quali around 8.15-8.20 then first race 8.30. we were doing 2.12-2.16 lap times so I'm going to put down for 10 laps 2nd race reverse grid.
Everyone welcome no matter what your level also if you have headphones we be on a party so can all talk too each other.

I got d/c'd and couldn't get back in.

Norbs' DC2 was massively faster than the one I took out of my garage and threw tyres/turbo/ballast/restrictor on to.

Well that went ok few issues with servers but got in at the end thanks everyone for making it some good racing too which is always good.

We did chat later on as a few were late getting in about doing same race same limits so people can fine tune set ups if anyone is online during evenings set up a lobby for some practice even get tips on set up etc. We do a big main practice Wednesday night before Thursday.
But yea roll on the next week races.

Couldn't make it this evening as Mrs DIW35 decided she wanted to go for a real drive (I did get fish and chips while out as compensation though.)

Trust those that took part had a good time, and hoping I can make it for next week.
