DIVISION 2

I think from memory we had 10 in a room with mic's last Sunday and all went smooth so fingers crossed for this Sunday.

Regarding pit entry, do we enter at the proper entrance or can we take the hairpin then dive into the pits.

Do this and things will be better. Each individual can also do their bit too by going to their lounge setting page and check their connection there. It should say Nat type 2 and band width high or medium, if it is lower, say band width low, you will know you may be causing problems in a room with a large number of people in it. The person with the poor connect may not even experience major problems, the game may run fine but not see some people in room and see others jumping a bit and it can cause the host to have problem and disconnection issues. If it says Nat type 3 you should consider upgrading internet or just play off line, cos its most definitely going to cause problems to all.
We try to pick a host with the best connection for this reason, but it whould be a good idea for all to know what they are running before each race. In most cases a simple reset on the modem brings your bandwidth and Nat type back up to standard. I have pretty good internet now and it still some times drops to low band width, but always fixed by turning off modem and disconnecting power supply to it (not good enough to just turn of at power point as transformer still provides a little power to it) for 10 seconds but a min makes sure.

Will have a look at pit tonight, but haven't noticed the pit lane grabbing control before the hair pin like in the other track we had to make a ruling on where you had to drive through witches hats to pit after the bend. I think it will be you pit after the bend as i have seen some people (me) run wide round that corner when not pitting.

Im gonna have to pull out of tonights race. I met this girl about 3 weeks ago and weve been dating, shes invited me to her house for dinner tonight. Its abit early in the relationship to blow her off yet :lol:


I would of been a moving road block anyway due to my lack of practice, have a good session tonight fellas I'll be back next week for sure.

I hope you kids have fun tonight. At least 2nd base or else you have to resort to your 'tekNique'. :lol:
See you next race mate.

Hey guys, how was the opening race? Results?

I got home in time for the qualy but I chose not to get on, hadn't put in much prac and wasn't good timing to stick in for the race.

The game froze on me twice in the same spot, when I went back to the lounge from watching the prac/qualy.... but haven't been disconnected for a while now!

just noticed that my name isnt on the drivers division results page on the wiki ...

i had a great race. i love this car and i put in alot of time at this track so i was expecting a good result.
i thort i had it in the bag at qualy untill bonuss did a 15.006 :shock:

and ven sneaks past

and firewind croses the line in 1st with bonus just behind.

nice shots man, cool. wish i coulda raced...

Great racing last night, probably one of the most enjoyable pressures packed races I have had on GT5. Firewind has summed it up pretty good with that pick story, good work M8. I was surrounded by red all race, firewind in front and flood right behind me, right to the last lap, I think you must have had a little off there flood. Qualifying pole was a big shock to me, I had done my best ever time in the first few laps with a 115.48 and thought I may still loose second spot as firewind had already got a 115.1. I pitted lap 5 for new tyres and came out looking to get a little closer to firewind. On the first sector of the first flying lap with the new shoos, I was .2 up and just tried to keep it smooth for the rest of the lap. I was shocked to see the 115.006, I had done a fair bit of practice to learn this track and that time was a full half second better than any lap i had done. Wrapped my first pole in GtleagueOz.
Good win firewind and great pressure flood all race, I had one finger hovering over the rear view button all race and thought you were going to get me at some stage. My Pit strategy was to pit lap 12 and when firewind stayed out I new I had a chance to get the lead back if I could put in a flying out lap. I came out of pits just in front of Flood and managed to stay there and get a reasonable lap and pass Firewind as he left the pits. But it wasnt long after firewind got the lead back. The brakes on this thing dont work too well when you get in to someones draft, that flap break must work properly cos it doesnt work with out wind. You are breaking fine then as soon as you get within a car length they stop working. Firewind gave me a few little bumps (nothing nasty just that break thing) on one lap and I did the same back when I tried to challenge him back.
I really enjoyed that track and this car is good fun, it has a good feel to it.
Next track is a good track that Im not good at, at all, so may be doing a lot of practice this week too.
