R!CARDOUK wrote:Hmm! First full session of SE9... Mixed bag of results but overall happy with the first race.. second was a bit of a mare.. a mixture of lag for Stan causing problems for Audisport Louis( many appols for the shunt at the horseshoe)i took my usual line into that and was suddenly faced with an almost static MERC .Much damage forcing a jaunt into the pits. so finished in last.. but it's a finish non the less. not too sure if this reverse grid for second race is a good thing or not, but i guess we'll all get used to it by the end of the season

hey i sent u the replays did u get em?

Yes thank's.. am going to watch it now

i was in lobby E and it was my first race in the gt series. Really enjoyed it. First race was excellent. I was slighlty happy when DJ got accidenlty got hit on the sachs kurve having lost the 2 positions from messing up the first section
second race was also very good, i made more mistakes on that one but got a respectable 4th

That was a lot of fun. great racing with butcher in the 2nd race.

well done everyone today who competed

overall for me
Group G (last group)

Race 1:- 4th

Race 2:- 3rd

(hopefully in the points overall)

Will be sticking both races on my storefront so incase anyone wants to see this groups race.

RW26 BLAZE

last note. not competing at mugello due to holiday or athletics comp in scotland

Had a great race until I got dive bombed on the last turn of the last lap and cost me 3 spots. Still am very pissed off over it.

Thanks Chucky for hosting G - any chance you can paint that car of yours orange next time, just in case? haha

Blaze I might just have to get race 1 off you... Got timed out of saving it

mattmeir

I did sucessfully save both races

trying to get race 1 on and its not letting me i try again later on in the week, but race 2 is up

Excellentish racing in lobby E

Race 1: Started on pole, dropped to 4th by the end as I had the wrong aero settings and it was too dangerous to defend. Sorry about the love tap Standaman, I late braked into you.

Race 2: Somehow, aid's brake lights didn't come on for me and I ended up running straight into him. Put both my engine and left suspension at 25% damage before turn 1. Not so luckily for others there was a lag-induced crash in Sachs Curve so I ended up clawing my way to 9th

First race today for me, was great. got in lobby A... had some problems with my clutch button but all good, no problems on the 2nd race!

Lobby C replays are up on my storefront for anyone interested in watching some INTENSE racing. So much fun tonight, well done guys!

(Search for keyword TORA)

Sorry to those that could not get into lobbies tonight due to connection issues etc. We sent 3 invites to the lobbies you were meant to be in, and then for qually also tried alternate lobbies. Beyond that, there's not really a lot we can do, we have to "go" eventually, or it'll turn into the MSA TORA LOBBY ORGANISTION CHAMPIONSHIP.

Good racing in Lobby F! Started 4th in race 1, and at the start made up two positions and ended 2nd. Sucks that adrian lagged out in Race 1 So Race 2 I start in 9th, but someone slammed the brakes in front of me causing me too go to last place on the first corner. I made up positions and was driving good until terrible lag happened causing an accident between like 3-5 cars.. I got damage because of it and im still thinking about sending in a Stewards Inquiry. Well I kept going with my damage and ended up in 6th. Not too bad got 3rd overall in points in the lobby.. Just the lag really did cause BS, and people too yell at each other.

Quick question but how is it possible to be wrecked on the final turn and finish 6th and the person who wrecked me to finish 3rd in the same race?

Some really great racing tonight in the C-Final. Hockenheim's a nasty little circuit to avoid getting tangled in a crash, but it was handled brilliantly by those in my room.

I did unfortunately get absolutely destroyed by a lag-back late on in race one; it is something that everyone seems to be getting these days including me. Thankfully I was the last driver running then anyway.

But the consolation was pole position for the second race, and under the persistent pressure of BoXc8 I retained the lead to take the flag. Fun stuff.

Had a feeling my 'go' for the start of the second race may have been a tad quiet as no-one got up to racing speed well after I had said it. I slowed anyway just in case.

Sadly, I won't be able to take part at the next GT event as I'm away on hols, although the major advantage is that the circuit I'm missing is Mugello. I do not like Mugello. Will return for Road America.

Was supposed to be with CM Graphix .. nothing came through from there .. AERO tried but was conflicting there, so I reset quickly, asked for re-invite and still none ..

Can someone explain?

NoGoldie ..

I did hear that the lobby hosts sent various invites to you dude, lobby hosts can confirm this

So maybe issue reviving messages

No, I received messages from CQR Vapor, WWR AERO & others - no issues . . I think you were trying to send messages out to the other 'Goldie' but not me .. Graphix actually told Vapor that he was sending messages to me while we were talking via a party . .I did not receive a single one . .so something went wrong somewhere but it was definitely not on my end.

Yep another 10 laps and i might have caught you. But well done to finish

Lobby C race 2 was probably some of the closest racing I've had in ages, must have been about 4/5 cars in a battle for 4th at one point and we managed to keep it clean mostly

I have apologized profusely mate, It was a case of over exuberance and a hint of lag. After you left I reported it to the host of the lobby and he said it will be looked at. Im sure that the places will be reversed

Race 2 was epic! There was a 4-way BMW battle in the middle of the rest of the race, and I managed to go from 8th to 4th in the final lap and a half!

This is just a taster of some of the racing that went on in C lobby, me and FranchittiFan were in the middle of an epic 2 lap battle when 2 more decided to join us!
First video is on-board with xOverdrive99x with that lovely engine sound of the Ford

Second Video is on-board with F4H Music Man

haha oh wow

Sorry you didn't manage to race.

You were showing offline for the majority of the event. I did send out invites to qualify, but didn't join. This picture was 20 odd minutes into the event when we were still trying to get you in.



Maybe your settings were also on "only accept messages from friends too" as well as "only online to friends"?

Morning all!!

Apologies for not making it last night - for the 1st time ever my connection prevented me for participating

I got on-line at 7pm, jumped in a party with a couple of team-mates and immediately knew things were baaaaaaaad - all I could hear was intermittent voices and any on-line action was taking ages to load.

I jumped off, re-set my Home Hub and managed to get in an on-line practice lobby. However, after 6 laps of lag I was booted off X-Box live.

I spent the next 30 mins trying to sort things out to no avail - I ended up watching Anchorman instead

Typically, I wake up this morning, check my connection and hey-presto........my best results to date:-



BLOODY TYPICAL!!!

Jono, If you have not already done so, It sounds like you need to clear your XBOX cache and check all your Forza files for corruption.
