Enjoyed it had a bit of change with gr3 and a mess around on route X not a bad way to end the week.

It was definitely closer than I expected it to be with doing the 2 stopper. The 2 penalties I got while trying to chase you down proved way more costly than I thought they would have done. I don't think I'd have got past but the Porsche curves and last chicane would've been bumper to bumper definitely. Only way to get past from there though would be a trust ridiculous dive that only results in a crash.

Don't get me wrong given the chance I might well take the dive but if it the crash happens I'll happily give the place back before the line hehe

It's been so long since I've played online on consoles that I forgot you need to pay for multiplayer. Need to get that sorted.

You just need PSN, which you've got anyway, right? Unless you're playing a very limited version of GT7 because most of it needs you to be online.

I believe you need PS+ to be able to play multiplayer modes.

Andy, I can only apologise for my connection again. I might revert back to an old router to see if that helps.

I spent the final race on Daytona working out Track Limits at the chicane by way of 0.5 second penalties on most laps and trying to avoid getting within a car length of anyone else for fear of a random bump, though looking at the replay the first couple of corners were "bumpy".

Whilst we’re apologising sorry for the rear-ending into the hairpin. Can’t remember who I punted, think one was Andy. Apologies.

Should have practised more rather than arsing about in my new shiny F1 GTR!

Thanks guys for tonight the races seemed a lot closer than previous weekends me and Andy had a great fight in race one with only a slight mistake from him gaining me first but ended up finishing within a tenth at the line.
2nd race being the route X was fun was a weird crash maybe connection issues at the back but Andy times the run to the line perfect to grab the win. 3rd race back at Daytona after the chaos of the first section seemed to come good with various people taking the lead at some point righteous though managed to do the least mistakes and most consistent to take the 3rd race win while me norbs Andy and ferry battling back from offs or mistakes but we all finished within 5s of each other and given a few more laps would have been even closer.

Did a rough calculation on points and Andy ended up first norbs 2nd and me third so Andy your pick for car and track next week.

Looking more general for me the race format seemed to work the best out of the previous week's so will stick with it if everyone is happy same with rules. Might just tweak the number of laps higher in 3rd race but apart from that for me at least seemed to work fine if everyone else is happy with it.

Talking to norbs after the race discussed a few things, think after a few more weeks once we got race format nailed and everyone is happy we do a championship just as a trial say 5 weekends using the same car for all races that way everyone can get comftable with one car over the time period rather than each week being a new car and maybe that way bring field even closer but that's just a suggestion for the future.

Also had a new player join so thanks for taking part and the returning drivers for sticking with it as I've said before any ideas or suggestions people have happy to listen and work to make the racing as good as it can be.
