Sorry N0ddie, that was a straight up punt. I did not predict what you were going to do there at all.

Great night of racing!

Ferry, really enjoyed our battle in race 2! Going to be seeing the rear of the M3 in my sleep after staying within 1 second for 13 laps, just didn't have the speed to get past! Sorry for the dive at the end, a real lack of concentration on my part. I dropped back so the penalty didn't steal the win from you, very well deserved victory! thumbup

Great night guys good grid biggest for a while so thanks for everyone that joined and the new players as well.
Track and car combo worked rather well tbf both races were fun Josh and ferry thi k had the ultimate pace overall even though I had fastest lap just lost too much time in traffic but was great fun and times seemed pretty close throughout the field.

We had a chat after races on doing a championship as a trial for next week I do a post tomorrow with a suggestion and format only going to be a short 5 week championship just too see how it works.

But again great night all in well done to Josh and ferry on the wins tonight.

No worries, I was struggling on lap 8 and a couple of others later, with numb thumb! Nearly dropped it. Shaking my left hand out down the straights helped. My lack of knowledge of track limits was slowing us up a bit. It's not an easy track to overtake on.

The first half a dozen corners in the opening race were carnage.

Love the Route X races. 1st one had the top 4 cars 0.08s apart.

Merc races were a good laugh. Merc train (and plane):

How are you importing the pics?

I copy them from PS4 to Usb memory stick, on to laptop and then upload from there. Is there a quicker/simpler way?

On PS5 you can just take a screenshot and it'll sync to your phone if you have the PS app installed. Bit silly you can't do that on PS4 since it's not that technically demanding.

They should appear on the GT7 profile page, not sure if they need to be shared in game or not (Don't think they do). Then obviously from there just save them to your PC.

Phone in front of tv hehe

Last night was very cool. Couldn't believe the pace in race 2. I was 8th and matched the leaders for over half the race but didn't catch anybody up.

I didn't even know that existed. Will take a look, thanks.

I really enjoyed the racing last night, but couldn't get on with the M3. Had to put TC on but that seemed to make it understeer a lot.

When I was with the pack it was a lot of fun, sorry about the little punt Welshy. I'm race 2 I spun and couldn't make up any time so switched off the TC and tried to get some practice in.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to join you guys again, do you ever do Tuesday nights as my wife is out at a class every Tuesday?

Yeah. Once I had some clear air I stayed at pretty much the same time gap to you for about 7 laps but didn't catch anyone in front of me. I think everyone must have been doing 2:12's!

We did 2:12s for 8 laps, then it was more like 2:13 and a 2:14 IIRC. I reckon 2:10 was possible if you knew the track limits.

I did 2.11.8 with a bit of slip for the first half of the track I couldn't match that again but was in 2.12-13 after I got into 3rd. Was a good race recovery to get into 3rd was catching up but gap was to big at the end. If I didn't fall back would have been a epic 3 way battle for 1st.

Reverse grid in Race 1 confused me. I thought we did it in the second race.

This did not end well:

Can't even remember that but was a good battle tbf. Last 5 laps on 2nd race really got into the track and car and your slip stream helped get the fastest lap.

I could float the idea for everyone to change to Tuesday I'm easy going with whatever day tbf.
