Barcelona GTR Race - Thursday

[FourWheelDrift]

The PH League race will be on the server tommorow night, usual time. (Thursday)

Sammie will have it running.

Very good FWD.

I hope it is there this time, otherwise.....



lol!

Dilemma - thursday night is "boys night" where we all ditch our girlfriends and get together for pizza etc. Do I cry off in order to play computer games with people I have never met, or do I stay in the "real" world...

Do you want to go out with the 'boys', or hang out with the real 'men' on GTR tonight??

Your choice,

I'm in, but i'm not good. The Vertigo seems to be the most Steve-friendly car i've tried apart from the Elise.

What is the server and time-details?

We meet in a Pistonheads chat room in the in-game online lobby area around 9pm.

I'm thinking that if no-one objects I can get the best of both worlds... Meet the lads for a steak, then cry off early and make it in time for the very end of qualifying, so that I can start from the back of the grid.

Does anyone mind me joining late? I don't think the 2 second delay thing happens on a proper hosted server does it?

If anyone objects I'll bow out this week - already thought I missed barcelona once!

Also remember password is PHLeague (case sensitive) and if you cant see the server listed you could be in the backup lobby.

Just checked and the servers there.

Nice race guys. I think i finished 4th??

Jimmy5 and Michael Cowley, you wouldn't have been able to pass me so easily if Chris hadn't t-boned my car, lol!!!

And Jimmy, can I have my wing mirror back? We knocked doors twice, very good racing!!

Good game all, looking forward to mon at le mans!!

P.S How many times did Chris say sorry, ha ha. Well done Chris, keep sticking at it and you'll be fine!

this was a great race can't wait to see the stats... i went from 14th to 3rd

Thanks to everyone for clean racing...

Ian (Parker) - I really enjoyed that moment near the end just after you lapped me and then we came across 2 or 3 backmarkers - was a bit dodgy but I unlapped myseld and lapped them all in one move

funkyrobot - I felt a bit bad passing you for 3rd place as all I had to do was put my foot down nevermind

Cheers funky!!

Didn't know you had to kill the engine in the pitstops hence the DSQ

Think I only cocked up a couple of times - I did try and stay out of the way. Got on the grass a couple of times whilst letting people through - hence the spinning!!

And once again..... Sorry

[jimmy5]

Sorry about that I should have let you get on with it was only running in 10th for most of the race.

2 stop/go's and 4 other stops put me right out of it. Was just racing to try and get a point from fastest lap (only missed by a few tenths)

Also apologies to Andy I just outbraked myself and then t-boned you. Hope I didnt lose you any places.

Finaly Ben, again it was my fault I tried to go down the outside and put a wheel on the grass which spun me.

Phew I think thats everyone.

Grrrr lol, in my defence my car was experiencing mega aero damage for the last 20mins after my collision with Woody lol!! My laptimes really suffered!

Probably the weirdest thing was Jimmy5 in my pitstop bay!!!!! I came in for my pitstop and he was parked in my bay! I had to nudge him forward gently lol!

Its ok Woody, you didn't really get in my way much. It was quite funny when you spun and hit me actually because I passed you, then in my mirror I saw your car sideway!! I stayed in a straight line and didn't turn in after breaking, expecting you to pass me, then pow!! Lol! Was an odd accident indeed. I seemed to be a magnet for your car lol

That was an awesome race, except for me wiping out P Vapour about 5 laps in

I thought "The cheeky " when you unlapped yourself To be fair, I'd have done the same thing, but I wasn't going to risk a first place finish by misreading what everyone was doing
