Ben, we are talking about the gt300 cars.
So for those who raced...I will give you the choice, as it would be unfair for me to make the decision..... I don't mind if you guys claim the points or the other option is to call it a dead race due to the people getting disconnected, especially as the racing was so damn close ( that first race was freakin awesome)
If we declare it a dead race I will add another to the series and use this one as a shakedown....
Shame as otherwise it would have been a great night.

Yeah that was me battling it out with you for ages. So much fun, especially with all the cars being so even.
Is it just me or are the physics different online? In practice mode I had a best lap of 1:45.1xx but in the race I was struggling to crack a 1:47.xxx

Online physics are different but its unclear how. Tyre wear and different temp and wear paterns are one thing most aggrree on. So keen for next sundays race!

I thought somethings might have been a bit different.
I'm looking foward to the next race aswell. Hopefully there isn't as many connection issues.

I couldn't make this race as I'm not at home but I'll be in for the next one for sure, I vote dead race. PSN is BlueGlory, driving the rx7.

What did you guys think of having to pit?
It adds an element of strategy, but also allows for fresh tyres in the second half of the race.
The dudes in the pits are pretty cool too.

I rekon it would be better on a race with say 20 laps, or allow racing softs....
or a 5 lap run of the nurburgring....
Ill be driving the lexus next race too.
If you've got a fairly sturdy ironing board, give that a go. Sounds a bit gay, but works surprisingly well. Also doesn't fail to get a disproving look from the mrs when she walks in and you're sitting 1m away from the tv with a steering wheel mounted on the ironing board.
Couple it with an old desk chair and it's pretty good. I'm toying with a cockpit project idea - some steel tubing, bucket seat from a wreckers and a welder, though I'm worried I'll end up with a 100kg monstrosity.

I'm thinking you probably dont need the driving lineI ranted for it, and now we CAN use it.

Only if the driving line cuts across the grass straight through a chicane.

Eh? Figuring out your own line and dialing it in over time is half the fun, driving line just ruins the whole game..
Easy =/= Fun.
Driving line = Cheap.

There was a discussion on this over at gtplanet a while ago with the consensus that as long as you use the line you will never learn to be a good driver, as you are always looking at the line and being "led" rather than finding your own lines and thinking about where you want to be.
I'm pretty sure, that this line is not always the best line too. Try with out it, by now you shouldn't need it.
