Well, that was weird. I was running with Motörhead and Brnt when all of a sudden..."disconnected from the server". What? I set up again after a while and waited. Then, I started running with Hu Fling Du and the same thing happened. ?
Whats up with that?
I shut down after that. I'm a little under the weather so I'll call it a night. I'll be around Thursday night after my son's Science Fair if anyone wants to practice then. There is probably something going on already, right? If so then maybe another day. Sorry guys.
BTW, all should welcome Motörhead to the GT6 madness. He went out and got himself a PS3 and GT6. Welcome Buddy!!

Don't feel bad Snappy....I tried to get on last night and each time it said I was disconnected because I did accept the rules of the game or something like that. I tried about 7 times and finally got on. I didn't see Motorhead's GT on the sign-up yet. What is his GT?
P.(arcell)S...Same problem today...Signed On...Clicked Game..Game Starts...Stops...Screen Says..."An error has occurred (8002E5B0) you have signed out of PSN....Unable to connect to server, as you have not yet agreed to terms of use for online services. You cannot proceed any further without agreeing to the terms of use for online services."......I looked to see where this so called terms are but have not found it...ANYONE???..Found the screen while at the game ....Looks as if a catch 22 is taking place..You click the options screen (Clicking Start) while in game and scroll down to the bottom for terms of use...It asks for you to sign in since you have been signed out by PSN...Click Sign in and the screen freezes not allowing you to see the terms of use...WHATTTTTTTTTTTTF
P.(arcell)S.S. Contacted PSN...Went through the motions of fixing a corrupted file...So Far So Good!
You know I don't think it's the tunes or setups is the tires. Has anyone done any testing when the room settings for fuel and tyre Ware are on normal or fast?
We have got these nice new settings but have gone full hardcore instantly. What if on normal a set of hards last a full race in good nick but u need to put on softs? It may bring it all back in line?

CPro...That is the Problem with Adults...It's New...It's Fun...We Want it ALL!!!!
I have done very very little tuning because I have no Fucking idea on this game But I have noticed is all about the rubber. When I have used the right put strategy I have won a race or come very very close. Maybe we need to screw the tyre Ware etc back a little bit?

My Vote is for Racing Soft...Keep the track dry!!!....Dirt Tires for Off-Road!!
I don't understand what is going on with regards to tuning versus not tuning, tire wear or no tire wear... Guys, just race within the parameters of whatever series you join. If it calls for practice and people either don't want to practice or don't have time to practice, then so be it. Lets stop looking for the perfect series or car or track or tune or this or that. If there is something someone does not like about a series, or has a question about then send a PM to the organizer. This practice of airing out every little niggle we feel in the forums only ends up turning into needless debate over stuff that was already resolved.
Spec series with limited tuning are a reality and in racing. Many would say that they can be the springboard for future successful racers. Also, tuning is a skill that comes from experimentation and research. It is what it is.

Don't take it that way at all, Craig. Like I have said before, I don't mind constructive criticism. What I do see is that we have all been spoiled to a certain extent by Forza's gifting and the availability of so much good info in this forum from other members. Myself included. Don't get me wrong, I know that is a good thing but the variety in here is something that we often overlook. There is usually a little bit of every type of road racing available. (Depending on your RL schedule) also, organizers have traditionally been more than happy to make adjustments if things aren't working.
Right now, I believe the Mazda series is a nice compromise. There is no real way to make the cars generate any more speed than it has because the gear ratios and aero are locked. It's all about smooth inputs to the car and track knowledge. This is a car that can be pushed hard without any massive spin outs, etc. Explore its limits and you will find it can reward you.
So, the Mazda is all about good clean lines and strategy. The Caterham will be about smooth throttle inputs since TCS will be forbidden in that series and only one tire compound will be available.

Zero...It is Great to Vent...When I vent and get responses I look in the mirror and say "What The Hell Were You Thinking"....
Then what the people who don't like this or that just not race? Good way to sort shit. My comments are not aimed at this event but as a whole. Every single gt6 event we have done to date depends on what tyres you use because of the very fast usage setting. When we run the track night everyone is on sport softs and the racing is extremely fun. What if we lock the tyre choice to racing soft and have the settings on normal usage. That way over a 25 min race the people who destroy there tyres like me need to think what I'm doing etc
Just ran some laps in the low 1:30's using the below tune. Its a bit softer than last weeks tune I used due to the bumps at Trial Mountain Hope it helps.
I'm not even close to your time Grimm :( guess its another win for you.
Cheer Up Stevie...That time is probably when tires are New...I couldn't sustain any consistent times after 3 laps....Keeps getting Slower and SLooower and Sloooooower!!!....For Me Anyway!!!!
P.(arcell)S. Hang in there...I already turned the car over three times in the last hour!

Turns out when i was practising I was not using the tune grim had posted and was on the basic tune already on the car.
After I joined the room and set the correct tune it was much better got a low 1:30 and the car felt much better still a bit of the pace but getting there. Cheers for tune Grimm
That was a great race. Congrats on the win burnt well done :)
Good racing fellas, the qualifying was really tight. A couple of 1.29's alot of 1.30's and then some low 1.31's! Made for a tight race to start for sure, good track for these cars.
3G's...Thanks for your fast results...Any chance you could teach Snappy how to post results fast?...Snappy Usually takes Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks!!!!
P.(arcell)S...2 Cents...This week I think the competition was at it best with times getting closer and closer in qualifying as well as racing...Next race let's keep the track dry and sunny and let the competition be between the human factor and not the elements and time of day!....Also Kudos to those that share your tunes...Not only should you be commended but you have helped guys like me be more competetive...Sincere Thanks!

That's it.
Well, that was weird. I was running with Motörhead and Brnt when all of a sudden..."disconnected from the server". What? I set up again after a while and waited. Then, I started running with Hu Fling Du and the same thing happened. ?
Whats up with that?
I shut down after that. I'm a little under the weather so I'll call it a night. I'll be around Thursday night after my son's Science Fair if anyone wants to practice then. There is probably something going on already, right? If so then maybe another day. Sorry guys.
BTW, all should welcome Motörhead to the GT6 madness. He went out and got himself a PS3 and GT6. Welcome Buddy!!
Don't feel bad Snappy....I tried to get on last night and each time it said I was disconnected because I did accept the rules of the game or something like that. I tried about 7 times and finally got on. I didn't see Motorhead's GT on the sign-up yet. What is his GT?

Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla….
The series organizers set the rules and regulations of their event. If you do not like how it is set up do not run it, end of story.
People who practice will undoubtedly have an edge over those who do not. This is not news to anyone.
If you’re going to offer up constructive criticism please do it in a mature manner. This is not news to anyone.
Great series Snappy! Looking forward to the Caterham and great choice on tire selection…Sport is all you need for this car
Just ran some laps in the low 1:30's using the below tune. Its a bit softer than last weeks tune I used due to the bumps at Trial Mountain Hope it helps.
Low 1:30's? Slow down, man!
I'll use the tune.

That was a great race. Congrats on the win burnt well done :)
If anyone wants to stick around after the race we can run a few laps in the Caterham.
Does said Caterham need anything added or is it stock. I think I can stay and have a wee play in the Caterham

Congrats to Brntguy on the win. Well done sir!
Great turnout as we had 12 races this week however we had the race leader (xsitement) get dropped early in the race.
Here are the results/standings after this weeks race

Not sure what Snappy has planned for next week hoever the Mazda's are off a week before we head to Willow Springs on 2/23.
See you on the track
