Division 2 Season 1

not gonna be able to make it tonight, i have had a dodgy HDMI port on my ps3 for a while now which needed a wiggle to work (thankfully held up in all my other races this season), but now its fully knackered. anyone know if it's fixable and if so can recommend someone in the melbourne cbd? I might take it apart my self tonight for a laugh...

Not going to be able to make it have good race all

Sorry about the STUPID F@*^$&!G lag in qually Stu. Am going to throw this 'new' router in the bin and get out the other one I was using previously.

As to my start position, yeah, I did actually qualify third, but in my confusion while typing a good luck msg just before the race started I managed to kick myself back to the pits, ala round 1.

Nat and I didn't come together. ( I didn't come at all, don't know about Nat) Just like was discussed pre race, my game froze just before the dipper. game reset, which forced a system reset.

Bugger. Was happy sitting 3rd in the standing, but after this, I can see myself falling way down the list.

Congrats to Cob for taking the win over Jono and Fire. Natman Fastest lap.

Order (if I remember correctly)
Cob 1:11.8xx? pole
N64 1:11.7xx
Firewind ????
natman 1:11.6xx
TTR_Joe????

t_b_, Stu, Overdrivve - not sure who goes where with me and stu dsc'ing around the same time, I think I went first then Stu. Overdrivve had parked up already at this stage, but did run some more laps later in the race.(was watching) So don't know exactly who had more laps under their belt.

I actually ran about 17 laps straight then parked it. I did take off again later but only ran 1 lap, so I finished at the start of the 19th lap.

It probably seemed like I parked it earlier because i was going so slow lol

Sorry, my bad. Mixed up what I saw when I was racing and watching.
So that puts OD in front of Stu and I easily.

All good!
Bad luck with your DSC's. It always sucks seeing it happen, hopefully there's an end to the madness soon.

yay better late then never finally got a good clean race well nearly t.b got close and lag punted me and i got a penalty but nothing big enough to ruin my race for third. had a heaps good battle with joe for the first half and kept it consistant for third yay.

Thanks for an interesting season - can't say i enjoyed all of it but glad i stayed with it.
Well done to Jono for the overall championship.
Great drive from Cob last night.
Wish i could have kept up with you Firewind but i clipped the tyre bundle at the end of the armco coming onto conrod and it stopped me dead, Nat had no where to go but to tbone me and it ended any challenge i might have put together.
The difference in speed after pitting was just appailing and i stayed out as long as i dared, lap36 i think?

The lag this season has obviously been the real downer and i almost choked when Stu disconnected and the room was handed over
to N64 who kept warping back in front of me every time i entered the 'cutting' ( he was several Km's in front!!?).
Real pleasure driving with you guy's but i may not make it back for season 2 (will review this closer to the time)
Take care all.
J90 out.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable end to what has been a fantastic season for me. Congrats to Cob on scoring that elusive victory and keeping his head (Mc)Cool.

Was quite surprised to get 2nd on the grid actually, I was in 5th and half a second down on Cob's pole lap, but I somehow recovered 4 tenths in the final sector.

My start was uncharacteristically poor, and I was swamped at turn 1. Running side by side with JoeI was scared of a lag punt that would ruin us. I broke a bit too late for Griffin's (or is it Griffith's?) bend, but it gave me the inside line for The Cutting, and that was all she wrote. For the next 38 laps it was a head to head battle with me and Cob for the lead. On lap 5 I gave Cob a slight lag punt at Murray's. He must have thought I was trying to gain an advantage, as I was squeezed against the pit wall and had to take avoiding action.

The battle raged on, but we were still pulling rapidly away from the rest of the field. On (I think) lap 6, the infamous Bathurst sound glitch struck and I had no sound for the rest of the race! It was extremely disorientating, and Cob pulled out a 3 second game while I was getting used to driving without sound. It made changing gears an absolute nightmare.

But the gap shrunk eventually, and I had managed to get past at the Chase, but I outbroke myself and gifted Cob the lead back. Towards the end of the stint, we jostled for position numerous times after periods of gap maintaining. Unfortunately, on lap 32, the lap I intended to pit on, the lag gremlins struck, and Cob was cannoned into the wall at the Chase. I waited for him of course, and due to our 40 second gap to F1R3, it made no difference.

The pit phase was unique, as the car felt completely different. Cob pitted a lap later and we came out of Hell Corner side by side! The advantage was with me, but 2 laps later, I broke too late at The Cutting, which put Cob side by side with me. Neither of us was giving an inch, but I was wedged into the outside wall at the top of Sulman Park, giving him a buffer.

Hunting time once again. The gap closed down, but on lap 37, I put a wheel onto the grass at turn 2, snap oversteer, game over. Well almost. I still fought, and narrowed the gap down to 3 seconds by the races end. Cob drove superbly, and deserved victory. I had the pace to win, but Cob made no mistakes, whereas I did. Congrats to Natman for taking another fastest lap as well.

It's been a real pleasure to drive this car on some of the best circuits in the game. And against some of the fiercest competitors here in ROOZ. I'm humbled to come away on top, as I've come close before but never reached the goal. Here's hoping that I do a better job in Div 1 than I did last time. Now, to secure the #1 before Warrior does....

Cheers and many thanks, Jono

Pole went to Cob.
Was a DSC myself so couldn't save anything. The numbers above are just from memory after rejoining the room and watching the rest of the race. Should have taken a photo on my phone sorry mate. I know Jono saved the replay though, he should be able to help you out.
I need them also, in case bathurst wins the ROC poll.

Well done to all competitors, specifically the mod team, you put in a hell of a lot of effort to set up a fantastic first season for GT6. Had a lot of fun and will definitely be coming back for more.

Sorry for the late notice last night, I pulled a muscle in my neck and couldn't move without being in extreme pain.

What a difference a season makes, eh Nat?

Massive thanks to all in Div2 and to all the mods that put heaps of time setting all this up.
Really enjoyed my first season with Rooz, and got better results than Id hoped for. Even if consistency let me down, I know Ive got the speed and the race craft to mix it with you quick guys!
Cant wait for next season!
