By the looks of it I will be able to race now. (If my connection will allow) I will run my regular number (69) with colors same as always if possible (pearl blue with yellow wheels). I hope I can make it, love the nurb.
Think i'm ready to step back into the drivers seat...finally had my brain handed back to me. Did you say you can buy one of these at the dealership?
Will be there tonight but might have to miss he second race cause gotta pick up my wife (would suck at the ring anyway), we'll see how it goes.
my net connection is usually pretty good but i'm also not so good at the quali business either - just don't get to play that much anymore
arrrrrgh!!...i just switched on the PS and now realise it was the download model...sorry i have never brought any content and i'm not about to in the last month of GT5 Sorry Jono my bad..
Hey thanks fellas that was a fantastic race. I'll put an article up for next weeks news. Not sure how photos will go however. I'm still corrupting despite the update. I think I could have won that race quite easily had I not been punished so severely. I say that despite only receiving 2 penalties, a tiny amount. But a few times I merely touch the grass and I'm in the wall or the gravel. I probably would have won if I not tried a ridiculously ballsy move on t_b at the Dunlop Bridge, but oh well. I'll figure out the points later, I know I received at least one bonus point... So anyway, when shall we do the next race? Here's when I can do it: Tomorrow (Friday), 8:30PM Saturday, 8:30PM Monday, 8:00PM Tuesday, 8:30PM Up to you fellas, I'm fine either way. Cheers, Jono
Tuesday is Iron Van 4. We don't have to rush into this. We have until the end of November. I am OK 4 tomorrow and Monday BTW but I know Ad2 isn't there tomorrow. I think we owe it to all who started to give them a chance to run the second race. Maybe in a couple of weeks, say Thursday the 14th??
Ah, I'm not doing that race so I wasn't aware. And you're absolutely right, Jamie should be allowed his chance on the Ring.
I'm pretty open to any day within reason. Sat not an option for you Jono? Unlucky for you mate was sure you would make it stick down the inside there. Was trying to give you room.
Dammit. Last. I know exactly what went wrong too. Trying too hard to give faster guys room instead of just running my own lines and trying to actually race with them. Running out of petrol 3/4's of the way around the 8th lap probably didn't help much either. I'd really like to run the second race but finding a day that suits everyone is going to be a battle. Friday is out for me, and just to be a pain in the arse, Monday and Tuesday is no good either. I hope we can all find a day so we can all race again but if not oh well probably only get last again anyway lol.

Was trying to give you room.[/quote] Actually come to think of it, Saturday could work. It was completely my fault mate. I could tell you were trying to give me room, I had the move done, I just ran out of space and clipped the grass just before the braking point, I knew I would spin, so I tried to control it so I wouldn't take you out. Which worked, but I lost a huge amount of time, so I was happy to be only 6 seconds down lol
What about next Wednesday?, Most people probably want to practice Laguna this weekend, I know I need it as I'm really struggling about 2 seconds off TB's pace. I can't put together a clean lap. I can get blue on sector one then be a second down on sector 2. Next lap it will be other way around??

Great race guys, I was initially very apprehensive about racing in the dark but with the TV brightness on max (thanks for the tip Dek) it wasn't so bad. I took a very risk averse approach to this and it seemed to be paying off as I got up from 6th on the grid to be running 2nd after a few laps. I couldn't resist Mustafur and N64 though and eventually finished fourth only 19 seconds back and am pleased with that. I only got one penalty (the target was none) and in contrast to my other efforts at this track, didn't get a speck of sand on my Nissan. The only error came when I couldn't resist nibbling Mustafurs bumper through the Porsche Curves (very satisfiying that) and let it run a little wide on the last bit. I came out of the pits in 6th, not sure why but eventually got back to fourth when Ad2 and Dek miscalculated on fuel. Great win TB, my hats off to you for a splendid effort. Not really looking forward to Laguna this weekend
