Base Performance Production GT Challenge - General Discussion

HomerRamone wrote:Done the engine swap and put the Cent. charger on. (Though I only have the street one - anything else will change the power).
All engine parts are race (except intercooler and cooling)
Brakes, shocks etc all race.
Clutch, box, diff  etc all sport.
Changed tyres (compound, width etc) and wheels.
Added the 2 forza aero optins (front bumper rear wing). Not changed the rest of these but they dont seem to affect the PI anyway. (Most increase the weight so..)

I've already built the Toyota Homer so when we're both online I'll go through it with you. However, as for this series, you can take the 3rd spot in MVG Racing 2 if you like, we're using the Merc GT S; let me know.

Standings page up guys - sorry for the wee delay there!

fyi clocks moved forward today in the US

I have managed to make an understeering aston martin...oversteer massivley .....

So is tonight's race kicking off at 8pm GMT (as per the sign-in thread which makes it 7pm BST as we are now in) or are we sticking to 8pm UK time making the start 8pm BST? This will affect our American friends who are racing so clarification would be nice, thanks.

"8pm as normal or 7pm for numpites who havent put their clocks forwards, so in 4 hrs time "

To clarify, it's 4pm in the UK right now.
We start in 4 hours time. 8pm, not 7

Just to clarify, Monza will be using the first chicane. It goes without saying then that caution will be needed on the opening lap.

Don't want any HRT-style antics into there... Kerrrrunch. So long as we all survive that first corner this track should throw up some good racing!

you do know its the same weekend as the WEC at Silverstone matt, will the round be on or off

The race will be on. We've run races on the same day as real events in the past. I probably won't be racing in this one as I'll be travelling back but there's plenty of folks who won't be at the circuit who'll still want to race

Why is the sign in form closed when we have a race TOMORROW at Monza to sign in for?

Please use the round 4 monza thread to sign in

Sign in for this round in Catalunya thread or as normal?

Nova DIDN'T send a quali invite to Veepz, he's been on waiting the past hour and no invite received!

Realistically there should really be a quali lobby setup so a time can be set, which certain other sites do when invites aren't received!

I was in the party and game, and can confirm that an invite was indeed sent out. Everyone was invited, those who did not join were sent more invites, when they did not join by 8PM we started.

[REMOVED FIRST SENTENCE]
I sent 4 invites
Xbox can distort invites and not recive, I have had this many times
Do not start having ago at me without reading up on this
Plus if invite is not recived you are ment to messege or join host .

Anon once a host has sent out invite. Max there suppose to send out is 3. But speaking to Nova he had said he sent out 4 & Nova is trustworthy Marshall and i know no matter what he will send invites and get the qualifying for TORA.

However it is also Veepz' job to into the lobby. Once its like 5 to you would get suspicious that no invites have reached him so he also needs to make the effort to get Into the lobby himself, its not Novas fault when Veepz isn't trying to get into the lobby himself

Hey either way it's done, just strange that he could be clearly seen online which you'd think was a bit strange being visible and yet not accepting apparently sent invites don't you think 🤔 let's not dig into it too much but twice now in the past I clearly recall when you were hosting and I also didn't receive invites and got the very same excuse on two occasions. Hey like you said, we'll just put it down to Xbox Live and move on right.

Cheers Hunty for hosting and all those that took part tonight. Couldn't fend you off at all this time Hunty as I was proper down on power, car felt totally different than it did in practice, course not helped by that damn Nissan being stupid quick. Well done everyone. 😉

Great racing tonight from everyone brilliant race with some people.

Just to put some perspective on this, when my team and I were practicing before the race tonight, bearboy54 was showing as "offline" (I sent him an invite, he never received it) & yet he clearly was online as we were chatting in a lobby when I sent the invite.

Also, I never received any race invites for lobby 2 from Nova (or Hunty), but looking online I could see that Hunty was in a lobby so I joined his game via his profile, I wasn't going to sit there & hope an invite turned up. We cannot rely solely on Xbox Live to work correctly all the time because we all know that this is not the case, being proactive is a far wiser course of action.

Second that Mike, was good clean racing all round from what I saw, just a shame that lag screwed up the second race for some people.
