As a warm up to the release of GT6 in December I'll be running one more race series running through till the end of next month. Initially I was going to make some major changes to the race formats, but then GTAV happened. So the format is very similar with the exception of adopting the shuffle points system for the one-make series as well. This will tighten things up from a points perspective at the top of the table.
So smash out a few practice laps in the Volvo during the week and we'll see you Thursday. Been way too long.

hell yes
will participate for sure
better remind myself how to play or i may try to shoot out the window, jump out of my car and steal someone elses
i think the only gt5 i have played since the last series was a couple of laps on the nurburgring before I drove it for real a few weeks ago
Ran a couple of laps last night. The Volvo is a cinch to drive so I expect close racing tomorrow.

Last time i played GT5 online would of been a long time ago half way through the last series, so driving skill hasn't improved. :-p
Even though i know i shouldn't play late into the night, I probably will anyway.

Going to miss the first round because of work, but hopefully should make the rest.

Nice one, I'm leaving Friday to Europe and the 'Ring, really need to fire up gt5 and cut some laps!
Going to have to miss the 2nd and 3rd rounds but I'll manage to get on tomorrow, the Volvo was a better drive than the Golf from memory..

hahah yes, lucky GTAV doesnt use a wheel and pedals or it woudl be even worse!
Can I use that as an excuse then? haha
oh nice, have you booked a car to drive around?
Yeh I've got the 'stage 2' Swift sport from rent4ring, main objective is to not crash! What did you have?
LarryDavid
26-09-2013, 08:09 PM
I got the scirocco "cup+" from rentracecar
how many laps you doing?
I could only do the 4 lap package cos it was only open for 2 hours in the evening
Would have loved to do more, but in the end I was still very satisfied, and ecstatic that I didn't crash haha
Can everybody please GTFO the lobby for a minute?

Forgot how fun these nights are, thanks everyone!
Was surprised I wasn't dead last after a year without practice, was actually going fairly well for me in the S15 :)

congrats MGR & ED
there were some great battles in the one-make, keen to watch replays
had a pretty miserable night in the shuffle though, scored a good car in the last race (F40) but just couldnt catch that damn R35!

So just confirming we're on this Thursday,
then we have a two week break (first week Mark is at a function I think, second is Rallysprint),
then final round is the week after that.
The nail's head – I have hit it?
Tre-Cool
21-10-2013, 06:40 PM
there was a break last week too
The nail's head – I have hit it?
Yup.
Evo 9 racing tonight.
I'll be online around 8:30. Please don't join the lobby before I've joined. Seems to help with network stability.

Will try and make it on tonight if I have sobered up in time. My driving online is bad enough as it is... let alone when drunk.
Points from tonight and final series points.

Those pics looked awesome.
Sorry I could not make it, working late and the bloody head flu saw me off to bed with some drugs early.
See you all in GT6
Think I hit about 350km/h in the Subaru 360. Corners get interesting on comfort medium tyres though. Huuuuuuuge slides :)
Lachy was pushing me and we were about 40sec down with two laps to go. Still managed to win despite some dirty tactics from Alex in the other x2010.
I'm so happy mark finally won a series championship...... har har.
I couldn't keep that beetle straight for the life of me around those corners, lucky win. I got punted hard and I might have passed you guys over the line but I lost it again! haha. Was so funny.

Finally have time to scratch myself again and noticed that it's all over :(
Bit of footage from the first race. Good battle between Alex, damo and myself. Stu going well too before deciding to play in the sandpit. And Brockas eats Armco :)
