I saw that. You wont be seeing me in D3 - I just requested a drop back at least a class or two. Those guys are FAST. I couldn't even keep up with the pack at Brands Hatch - my times were just about 6-seconds off the pace (three guys were running 1:31 lap times.) At Silverstone I felt a little more comfortable with the car, but I was doing everything I could just to fight for last place. I basically put in about 10-laps of practice at each track, so I got out of it what I put into it, but it's clear: if you want to compete in D3 you better be willing to put in the time. Between MLB The Show and Madden (plus real life) I just dont have the time.

I'll see what a different divison is like. If I'm not feeling it, then I'll just stick to racing on Thursday nights with Parcells and the Gang. We've had some AMAZING races lately, so we're all just about the same skill level at this point.

Oh yeah - guy who took the pole at Silverstone lapped the track at 1:14. Good luck!

I couldn't get in my room tonight.  No one showed on my friends list and a search by track didn't show any rooms but D4. Don't know what is going on.

I am down in Div.5. I was lapping Brands Hatch @1:33-34.  I have dipped to high 32.9

Silverstone I was lapping 1:18 sometime 1:17.9

No sure what is going on.  Ever since they mandated that all rooms be frineds only, there seems to be a bunch of issues with the lobbies.  Will be interesting to see what they do about it

Thanks

I knew I was going no where. I missed a race because of a host snafu :( 

I haven't enjoyed the last few car/track combos so haven't put in a lot of time with them.

I have been doing ok in the Ferrari and I like the track. Daytona is not bad but both cars have been lacking with the Subie the worst. Fuji and the Vette is awful.  My problem, I just don't have enough track time or know the latest tracks well enough. When we run shorter tracks or tracks that I know I do well. 

I am just not liking GT 6 that much and it just effecting my desire to race.  Saving monies for Xbone and getting away from GT. Just to much wrong with it. It will be awhile though.  crying

This SNAIL thing has a good foundation but it seems that the guys running it are a bit arrogant.  There are some good people in my group, but there is one I don't.

So what about the game are you not liking bud? Or keeping you from wanting to race more? I am hoping to do more racing and have been making the Wed.nite Race Car series that Grim is hosting which is pretty fun and was hoping to see you on it to get to race with you again/more. Whenever you see me online if you want to run some laps just start a lobby and pm me and I'll join ya, or pm me and tell me to start one.

I don't like the physics of the game.  1 wheel off and you spin, touch the wall and the car is stuck on it, motor sounds. Can't catch a spin. The list is endless. I just don't don't have fun with it.

I like the rally part.

2 broke to go back to Forza :(
