Sunday 26th February - pre-season testing at Laguna Seca

Think Ima get GT5 to show you peeps some driving skills LOL

Definitely - the more the merrier.

It would be great if we could get some competitive, 9-10 man racing on the go.

Can you disallow penalties Nifty? Or put it on minimum because sometimes when i crash by accident, I get a penalty which slows you down. I don't think any of us here will cheat anyway and purposely bump into any cars.

I didn't appreciate you smashing through me yesterday. It left me wobbling all over the track for a while after that. :folarm:

I have always put the penalties on 'weak' in the past, but we can give it a go with them off.

The main thing that penalties are designed to eliminate are people who cut corners. Although we can set up a gentlemanly agreement that those who gain an advantage by cutting corners are brutally murdered, or similar.

It's a shame I can't set it to only kick in for corner-cutters. I think the contact element adds a lot to the game, as long as people don't simply play bumper cars.

I'm up for joining in every now and then when I can but I wont be able to make most Sundays.

It was in reply to you bumping into me in the first corner in the track which physically damaged my wheels leaving my car travelling left everytime I try to go straight. I didn't mean to damage your car too badly though

I am a corner cutter - not by design but because I am usually out of control on a two 90 degree chair curves so the second turn I am up on the wall.

 

[abu97]

I guess we should leave it as weak and if it starts getting frustrating it should be off.

I too can sometimes cut corners if I have little control over my car in those tight corners but most of the time my penalties result from oversteering and driving too far off those red and white barriers

You didn't show much skill in driving when you crashed out of our Hot Pursuit game, pategato. :joel:

The goal of that game is to crash into anything that moves Phats.
It is precision driving we talking about here.
