1/4 mile testing will be fun :)

[Sciflyer]

finally a drag strip!

[AGIT8D]

Have you seen those guys online who setup 1/4 mile racing in the free roam/free race types? so fun to troll in there.. i've got an audi street car that ruins pretty much everything.

[TargaHatch]

I was disconnected at 11pm while chatting to you MGR, couldn't get back on after a couple of goes. Pissed off!! I was able to log into PSN, but it was timing out whenever I tried to join your lobby.

As requested, I was running Dual Shock 3 and a PX21 headset. Will try and send replay through if you still want it.

[Fusion]

I was using dualshock 3 and some cheap Jabra bluetooth mic.

Some crazy driving last night....

[SimonR32]

I was running G25 and one of the Dick Smiths PS3 EX01 headsets.

I also have a replay if you would like!

Also death to Brockas lag that glitched him all over the place into the first hairpin causing me to come off :)

[Wrexter]

was fun punting TJ off........ :)

[SimonR32]

was fun punting TJ off........ :)

Just so you know, we were all happy when you fucked off!

Take note this may work in the F1 thread as well :)

[ALEX.]

Holy shit it was Wrexter! I should have figured it was a Hamilton fan when he dive-bombed me into a hairpin on the inside...
;)

GT5 + official PlayStation mic from a couple of years ago (not the 'new' one).
I have a replay.

[Wrexter]

Just so you know, we were all happy when you fucked off!

lol easy now i only punted him off once..... i thought that we're supposed to ?

The ps3 froze in the second race and i was stuck on track so i turned it off.

[SimonR32]

You were driving a Civic in a one make Mazda Roadster race!

[Wrexter]

yeah i kind of figured there was something wrong as i just joined mid-session and didn't realise it was a mazda only.

i didn't read the forum before joining. my bad.

The civic was the only decent thing i had under 380PP.

[Jazza]

Those updates look awesome.. and if I am looking at it correctly if the new NSX decides to brake an inside front wheel to pull itself to an apex it will essentially become 3wd with the rears running off the engine and the outside front still providing drive? Just wow..

[Sciflyer]

Its sounding increasingly like this timing bug is caused by the poor PS3 hardware just being pushed a bit too hard by lots of cars, large tracks, extra controllers/accessories and network data

I had a shocker in that nurby race, started from memory 1st on grid, by the first corner i was mid-pack and spend the rest of the race at teh tail end, just not enough speed/grip to keep up. I have the replay

I have a G27, Sony PS3 BT headset, Plantronics BT Headset and three dualshock controllers (obviously not in use all at the same time but they are all connected to the PS3 via a usb hub)

I know it was said several times last night but i would strongly recommend anyone having connection/mic issues not just in GT5 but in other games to put their PS3 in the DMZ of their router, its easy to do and does solve problems!

[Tre-Cool]

still waiting on video of MGR slowly pushing me into the wall on fuji....

still waiting on video of MGR slowly pushing me into the wall on fuji....
From my vantage point just behind it wasn't a push, it took a few significant smacks ..... slowly pushing you into the wall is more like what I did to you at Eiger, although in my defense I did hand you the race win at the end.

On Nurb Sci and I were racing really hard (and sideways) for last place. The delay bug is spoiling things a bit in the one makes, but I think Nascar & shuffle make up for it - obviously something introduced with v2.0, so I hope they fix it soon.

[Sciflyer]

^ what is your PSN nick?

have to remember who's who :)

[SimonR32]

If/When the bug gets fixed I think it would be good fun to have a semi-enduro race with stock cars but tyres are unlimited...

Say something long enough to make 3-4 stops if using the soft compound!

[ALEX.]

I like that idea actually.

Possibly do it at a real life circuit too where they do endures such as Laguna Seca. Start smaller, like Tsukuba and work our way up to the Nurburgring (I'd love that!)

[SimonR32]

Are we on for some snuffling tonight?

[Sciflyer]

I wont make it to the Rallysprint so will probably be on GT5 tonight checking out the new track/cars

[Fusion]

interested in racing tonight. For those that haven't been on since last week. there is a 225mb update required.
