Coming Out...

Noooooo, not the closet, not coming out of the closet, don't have a closet. Errr have manly clothes on rails in the middle of the room me. No closets.

Eh?

Nope, coming out of Boganshire I reckon. Time I fessed up and told you all what I drive, behold:

Notice how I've coloured the number plate so that you don't recognise it... haha!

Anyway, so now you know. I like driving it and no mistake, and it's a country mile from my old dog ute which if I'm honest was trying to kill me with it's lack of grip in anything the wrong side of moist...

Of racing - we have a number of new members kicking around, so let's hope that next week we have a reasonably full grid. I'll post up some race ideas for then - so we know what to test'n'tune.

Another replay

Another replay folks. Mostly as the PS3 is in the room with air-con...

Anyway, this one is HRC460, so 460pp road cars with race/hard tyres and 1990 or before.

Enjoy (except Evan, who will cringe at his hero>zero moment);

That TCR550 Race @ A1 Ring

And here's the reply of the race at A1 Ring in the 550pp V8s. The epic race if you will.

I'll say apologies to Kudos straight up, I slammed you at the end of the start/finish straight, and I'm just glad I changed your braking distance rather than an outright spin.

But overall an excellent race, I know boost helps, but the racing is so close and on the whole very tidy. Pops, you did an excellent avoidance move in the last lap which I think cost you a place or two, very sporting.

Anyway, here's the reply, and here's to more racing in the league.

I think going forwards we'll use the normal lobby system, as everyone is friends with me it's easier to find the room that way, and really the club stuff is a load of effort with little return. I'll put a news item up on the club page saying as much.

Old dog racing

I might wax on about Grid Autosport all the time, and truly the single player and two up online racing with AI cars is great. But I can't go past old car racing in GT6.

Last week had us racing the CR400s - old 1970 and before 400pp cars on sports hard tyres, and such great racing it is.

Certainly it's not about the win, and if I were to be a mile out in front (unlikely) I'd hang back just to get in the mix - that might be a hint for the rest of you to wait for me eh...
As I think Hoggy said, these cars are all about tactical racing, there's not enough power to pull away or overtake easily, so it's about planning moves and waiting for the opportunity. I might have waited too long...

But of the night's racing, we saw another guest driver for the evening, if we had all racers in the club join we'd have a full grid - and that would be awesome.

For those that missed it, here's a replay:

The Dark Side...

We all love GT6, even if we've got a bit tired of late - numbers are down a bit, but that's OK the racing is still excellent.

But, tempting the dark side is (to paraphrase the little green man).

Evan took advantage of the $25 price tag on Grid Autosport at the weekend and so last night was a test run of online racing.

Oh my...

Physics remain "different". But the online aspect is excellent. With an option to have AI divers in the online race we had a full 12 car grid, and with them set to 'medium' we had our hands full.

A top night's racing and very much great fun. What's more the mics we have worked too so we were able to chat away as we raced. Excellent fun!

I also downloaded the drag racing pack $8 or so...
That too is an eye opener, damn that's fast!
