I want it!

Where is that 'standby server mode' to be able to run remote races?

Go to "Community", go to Remote Races and then it will be one of the options on the bottom of the screen.

You select it and it brings you to a black screen. Then you go to work and get on a PC and do remote races from your PC. They are actually running on your PS3 at home.

So my suggestions are to turn off what ever TV you have running the remote races and just select all my drivers because I need the money.

Let me know when we set a date/time. I've got to run out of town part of the day today and tomorrow, just hope I'm back in time.

I think a raise to 500 pp would be good. Although 490 forces you to restrict the car more. It could lead to some interesting tuning strategies making similar cars have wildly different dynamics.

[joe603]

Looking forward to the rally! 490pp and the weight restriction really limit car choices...but it should be interesting!

Remember, you can add basalt to increase weight, and use the restrictor to drop the cars WHP. Use them, and car options increase.

On another not, are we using street cars again, or are rally cars allowed?

Sunday @ 6pm

We should discuss tomorrow.

Any car as long as it fits the restrictions. Any thing.

[IanS]

Good, because I have no money, and only 2 cars that could fit the bill, and 1 of them is so far undo weight that I can't give it enough basalt to make it pass spec. The other will have to do. Im as ready as im going to be. I wish I had time to practice more.

If you guys are going to knock me off my streak (is 2 a streak?), then this will be the time to do it. But if and when I do go down, im doing so kicking and screening. Just warning you now.

[jcide]

I've been playing GT since PS1, but did my first endurance race last night.
9hrs of Tsukuba in my beloved M3. I almost quit at the 4hr mark.

[IanS]

Sunday @ 6pm

I wont be able to make it. I will be stuck at work until at least 6 EST. It takes me about 20 minutes to get home. I will try and dip out early. Either way I will keep you posted.

[biggie]

I may be back by 6pm, will be close.

[Speedy7_7]

I'm in! Now I gotta find a car that'll work.

[alms24sebring]

Yeah same here.I mite be there or might not. Kind of a last minute thing but i will let you guys know. I will still have to tune the car too.

[alms24sebring]

whew ok, Im in and waiting

Edit: As I see that nobody is on yet, I can only wait around till 630 at the latest

[joe603]

where is everyone?

[IanS]

Im ready, where is RCA?

[IanS]

I started a room. And sent RCA an email.

[ThatGuyRoger]

[IanS]

Results for Ironman Offload series are as follows:

First place: FlatBlackIan w/ 36 points
Second place: Biggie w/ 32 points
Third place: Speedy7_7 w/ 26 points
Forth place: Joe603 w/ 22 pints
Fifth place: ThatGuyRoger w/ 16 points

Good racing guys. Hopefully next time the servers will be running better. Its not as fun when you can't see your opponents.

RCA hope to see you next time, and hope you're ok.

[alms24sebring]

dammit wtf. I didn't see anyone online at 6:20 so I had to leave. Now Im really behind on points.

RCA is MIA

[RCA]

Im ready, where is RCA?

My apologies guys. I went to sleep on Sunday at 5am, woke up at 7am, re-rewired my desk (got a new monitor mount), set phone alarm for 5:40pm, took a "nap" at 2pm, woke up @ 7:15pm from a phone call by a friend of mine and left the house at 7:35pm and just got back home.

I am SO glad you guys decided to race without me (no sarcasum) because I would of felt like a bigger d*ck if people cut things short inorder to make it home for nothing.

Results for Ironman Offload series are as follows:

Can any one post who won for each track?

[joe603]

It was fun guys! Next time I'll check to see if I can bump my HP just prior to a race...I was short by 100 for all but the last race! I knew my car wasn't that slow!

The servers were jacked...some races didn't show everyone.

[biggie]

Results for Ironman Offload series are as follows:

I won 1st and 4th races (the snow ones). Ian won the other 2.

[RCA]

Can any one post who won for each track?

I mean who got 1st though 5th from each track. The way I have the math setup on the spreadsheet kind of makes it a pain not having the entire result. Thanks Biggie, I inputed what you posted so far.

[biggie]

See what I can remember:

1st Race
1: biggie
2: ian
3: Joe
4: MM
5: thatguy

2nd
1: ian
2: MM
3: biggie
4: joe
5: thatguy

3rd
1: ian
2: Joe
3: biggie
4: MM
5: thatguy

4th
1: biggie
2: ian
3: Joe
4: MM
5: thatguy



I blieve I have flipped Joe and MM (speedy) on a coupe of them. Someone will need to verify that actually wrote it down.

[joe603]

The servers were weird...For me it showed I got 2nd on the 1st and 4th races. Finally got my headset to work.

Next time I'll keep track too.

When is the next one??!!

[ProudNissanFreak]

This Sunday please! I have no practice so I can make it!

You have everything correct except the 3rd race. Cale and joe need to be switched.

The servers were really weird. I couldn't see/hear some people, and joe could not join when I was hosting. Apparently I don't like joe, or he doesn't like me. Joe, we're in a fight.

So what's the plan for next week?

[ThatGuyRoger]

kart race? lol
