That's okay coxmaster, see u next week hopefully.
That's cool..... we'll see you next week 🙂
I use bumper view, that's the only one I can drive with.
Fun race as always. Felt kind nice getting to lap someone for once!
Boshuter i watched the replay and man i whacked you hard on the like 4th corner (you know which one im sure) on that first lap. Completely unintentional and dont know if you'd hit the car in front of you first or what but either way reckless on my part as i was still to fast compared to you. i do apologize again and you can DQ me from the race for poor driving if you want. Sorry since i do know after the contact you had trouble getting back on the track too 🙁

What happened to you boshuter before the start? Connection screwing up?
Hey, it wasn't your fault, I didn't realize that the car in front of me was going to slow down that much for that corner and I locked up my brakes to keep from plowing into him, I did hit him at the same time you hit me. My car took a lot of damage and it wouldn't respond for a while. I believe it was just a matter of relsek not being familiar with that car and not having much seat time in it.
Yeah, not sure what happend; right before the race start I got DQ'd, then it wouldn't let me back in. I had to quit GT5 and restart.... I was praying you guys were waiting for me 🙂
Congrats on the win, vey nice driving..... especially that 1:19 fast lap!

Hey ollie.... it looked like you had your hands full with that GT-R 😀
I know you don't get much time to practice, would it help if some of use gave you the tuning settings we use? I know the GT-R is almost impossible to drive unless it's tuned to get rid of the oversteer.
Let me know and I'll pm you the settings I use, may not be perfect for you, but it should at least make the car driveable.

Thanks. 🙂 What were people getting in quali? I managed a mid-1:19 in quali but still started 2nd?
I really had no idea what to expect for this race in terms of lap time and the pitstops.
As boshuter said, if anyone wants help with setup you can PM me also. I will send you my settings, but remember you really have to tailor it to your style and control method (I'm using a DS3 🙁).
Sorry I missed the race. We had to take our 2 -1/2 year old to the emergency room for dehydration from the flu.:|:thumbsdown:
We spent most of the day there with him on an IV drip and luckily his blood work showed enough improvement we got to bring him home tonight.🙂
Hopefully next week will be a better week.:biggrin:

i wasnt sure if you'd hit him before i hit you or not. i know i definitely wasnt expecting either of you to be braking at that spot, well quite that early at least. i did try to wait up for ya but like you said it took so long from the damage to your car for you tog et rolling again i just went ahead anyways knowing you'd catch me anyways 🙂
Dont worry if someone is there most of the practice and disappears like you did i think we can afford to wait 5-10 minutes to give them a chance to get back in. I saw you join and leave like 3 times before you totally quit so figured you reset the internet or something.
Definitely get either Thilans or boshuter to send you tuning settings. Going from my tune to theirs in the gt300 series was like night and day. I use Boshuter's base tune (with a few tweaks for me) and t makes he car so much easier to handle. Well i still baby it around corners and am not all that aggressive (was only getting like high 1:22's in qualifying). Anyways just do it and itll help im sure 🙂
Best I did in quali was low 1:22, I was running mid 1:21's in online practice all week but just couldn't put a good lap together for qualifying; not that it made any difference when I got disconnected anyway 🙂 I do wish PD would fix the starting position problem, it almost seems random at times.
I hope your son is doing ok :thumbsup:
We look forward to seeing you next weekend 🙂
Welcome aboard.. I'll get you added to the drivers list. 🙂
Hope your son is feeling better & showing improvement...
