    Not to burst your bubble turbo but over those last two laps and with a gap that big (thanks for that), I was really cruising to absolutely ensure I didn't make a silly mistake and bin it myself.

    Will watch the replay tonight but after my last stop by the time I got to the first sector split I could have sworn it was something like 11 secs. Could be wrong (its happened before).

    Yeah BJ I dodged the finishing cars too because they looked solid didn't wanna risk it normally if you can drive through they are ghosted. Guess it was cause I was lapped they stayed solid.

    Autumn Ring is definitely a different challenge in this car. I'm going to use my wheel for the first time in this race, so I expect to be well off the pace as I've had bugger all practice with it! It feels good though, struggling for consistency though, much different to controller.
    I'm struggling to break 1:10!

    When I first started here I was using a controller too. I sometimes think I could be faster with the controller still but the old DFGT adds that little bit more realism to the whole experience. Its funny, I had the wheel for about 3 years and only used it twice then put it away because it was such a pain to set up. Since I started doing some decent racing here and saw all the other setups I decided to brush the cobwebs off and give it a proper go. Got a good setup now and the missus lets me keep it in the lounge near the TV so I can use it whenever. A good stand/cockpit makes all the difference.

    I've got a wheel stand which is really good, just need a decent seat. I do enjoy the added realism too.

    Keep an eye on your local tip shop. I picked up a surprisingly good one for just $10. A good wash and a few hours in the hot QLD sun and she was good to go.

    Guys,
    Have been thinking about this for a few days after my brush with Warrior and Musta in the last race, and the post race chat after the race had finished.

    Unfortunately i got in Mustas way while he was lapping me last week. It was unintentional, as i didnt see him behind Warrior at that part of the track, but it prompted the question by Mustafur "what are lapped cars supposed to do" ?

    Just a reminder from our rules and regs........

    (ix) If you are being lapped do not attempt to race the passing car. Blue flag rules apply. Meaning you must concede track position to drivers on the lead lap within a reasonable time frame. If you are battling for position with another driver some concession can be made, but at your next available opportunity (such as before the braking zone on a straight), you should concede track position. A rule of thumb for a reasonable time frame is within four corners, unless you can pull away (out of slip stream range) during this time due to fresher tyres for example.

    This IS NOT targeted any anyone, just a reminder after the race last week from what happened to me, and the fact that Warrior and Musta lapped everyone except Anon 12 times !!!

    Nothing more than a clarification of the rules guys.

    Cheers
    Stu

    Yea thats good Stu, whilst it didn't really cross my mind at the time, it was later on I remembered how distracting it was, especially how GT5 has that weird sound issue where opponents cars sound louder than yours in close proximity. Several times I was near lapped cars and almost had incidents as I was put off by the other car screeching or engine revs.

    I started off "racing" the lapped ghosts like they were solid, but in the end I just gave up and tried to pretend they weren't there which was hard sometimes.

    Ive always thought lapped cars ghost with penalties on? They always ghosted for me (although its been awhile since ive lapped anyone) and what this about BJ and annons better half having a haircut, do you guys live close or something? P.S pics or haircut never happened :p

    i moved on..but damn it was fun!
    I could be wrong here, but i always try to race as if the car is a solid object even if it is a lapped car - i know it's just a game but the idea is we are simulating a race enviroment. It's still up to the lapped car to concede the position to a faster car but i personally would not be happy with them just driving thru me like i wasn't there.

    The other thing is that it stops the glitching where, in the past, there have been lapped cars that havent ghosted and its ended in tears for both drivers.....

    Best to assume they are solid, if they are lapping you let them go, and stay on their coat tails using the draft i reckon.

    Hi mate,

    Hope all is well, seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth.........

    Hopefully see you back amongst it soon

    Stu​
    Yep,i'm getting there now,bad dose of Adult tonsilitis that turned into a thing called a superaglottitis,(think thats the spelling),which basically is your throat swelling so much it closes off and they have to put a tube in so you can breath.Been in hospital from early hours last fri,until today,they only removed the tube from my throat and stopped the sedation on wednesday,so as you'd guess i don't remember much. Would've let ya's know sooner,but the wife didn't know my password,and didn't think about the "stay signed in" feature. I obviously couldn't tell her,they really knock you out with the good stuff,:cool:when you need a tube down your throat!o_O
