Yeah it's a handful. I was thinking of taking the Novak too, but after couple of laps I said nope, I'm not trying to drive that for 1/2h. 😂

If you could share that info with me next time that would be fantastic!

[zmurko 7,622]

Thanks everyone for racing tonight and for your patience and collaboration. It took a while to set everything up, but it was our first time and I think we did alright.

See you all next week, I'll have the details posted tomorrow with results from tonights event too.

Thanks for organizing this event @zmurko and @SkyeDave. It worked out pretty good with all the setup races etc. 

Had some great battles especially in the Retro race. Sorry for stealing your win last minute @Spinnaker1981 😁

Won't be there next week unfortunately but looking forward for the weeks after!

[zmurko 7,622]

Was I the only casualty of the night?

😬

Thanks @zmurko for hosting.  I really enjoyed that.  It was really well planned and really well though out.  It was great being involved in wee battles but having to watch out for faster cars.  Thanks for putting it all together.

I can't really take any credit.  @zmurko made me co host in the hope I would get more folk along but in the end I only managed to round up a stray cat and my brother........

Thanks @zmurko for organising this, I’ve never done anything quite like it and really enjoyed the night. Thanks for having me along 👍

GT3:

2. @SkyeDave in Ocelot Lynx
3. @zmurko in Bravado Sprunk Buffalo

Spoiler

Great success for Lampadati, as it wins GT3 tiers with both cars taking part in the event, one of them a SUV nonetheless. Other winners of the day were Pfister winning GT1 in Retro race, Vapid taking home a double victory in GT2 in Retro race, Truffade winning GT1 in Modern race and Enus winning GT2 in Modern race. No wins for Grotti despite having 2 cars and some fast drivers in both races, taking home two 2nd and one 3rd place. Bad luck for Dinka and Declasse, the only 2 manufacturers not making it on the podium, though Declasse will be making an appeal, as they believe dead people shouldn't be racing and therefore they earned 3rd spot in GT2 class in Retro race instead of the dead Ubermacht driver. A slight embarrassment for the only Progen car, as they were hoping to destroy their tier with a Super car, but instead they ended up being beaten by a slower SUV from a lower tier at the end, back to the drawing board for them.

Well done everyone!

Nice one for setting this up, appreciate it must have taken a lot of thought.

I never knew that kinda thing was possible with the different classes, certainly adds more possibilities.

Its my understanding that both Declasse and Progen will present evidence of some sort within the next days. Rumors say it will be entertaining, yet lacking any substance of relevancy for the outcome.

Is that progen deceptively slow? I seem to remember drag racing you down the first down hill section and you couldn't pull away from my novak

[zmurko 7,622]

Next week on SRL, a simple "boring" mixed classes, mixed settings and (almost) completely open PL, as I think we all could use a break from car picking, forced car selections and complicated race setups (I know I could). 8 crew & community tracks, possibly some new ones introduced, as well as some well known and raced ones.

Compacts, SUVs, Muscle, Sports Classics - clean contact races

Sports, Supers, Rally cars (no Issi Sport) - non-contact

Hotring Sabre

3 non-contact races, 4 clean contact races and a dirty, everything goes, Hotring race. Pick any car you want in every race, except the Rally race and Hotring Sabre race obviously.

Playlist:

https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/ps4/playlists/playlist/Kj3jDVhiKECmGR5OIrdfMw

AGES Rally Championship, Non-contact, Rally cars, no Issi Sport!, 5 laps
Grapeseed GP, Muscle, 5 laps
LS River Raceway, Compacts, 6 laps
Pisswasser Mountain, Sports Classics, 2 laps
West Mirror GP, SUVs, 6 laps
KiDo Raceway, Supers, Non-contact, 4 laps
Loop the Observatory, Sports,  Non-contact, 2 laps
Lago Zancudo Speedway, Hotring Sabre, Dirty race, 15 laps

All that will be required is that top 3 places from previous race move to the back of the grid and we go on 0:30s, except in non-contact races, where we just go.

After this we'll finally start the 6 weeks championship that I've been mentioning with probably a weeks break for the snowy week around Christmas, depending on when R* gives us snow (they still do that around Christmas/New Years, right?). Details will be posted during this week, so you can get ready in time.

No need to sign up or anything for next week, normal RSVPs or just be online on Sunday night and you'll get an invite. Everyone is welcome!

Yes, only time to pass was to make use the traction on the corners.

Details for the 6 week Championship starting on 22nd of November have been posted in a separate thread:

 

[Lann 10,846]

@Schumi6581the clip with our little rubbing is corrupt, when opening in the editor the ps4 bluescreens. Too bad, i guess it was too much action.

[zmurko 7,622]

Sunday, Sunday! Raceday! 🏁

[Lann 10,846]

Is the first race tonight in Sports?

Probably, we can do Sports Classics too if you guys prefer that.

[zmurko 7,622]

Btw, tonights PL is limited to 16 players, just letting you know in case there's a sudden overwhelming interest.

[Lann 10,846]

The rsvp:

 

[Con 5,719]

Just want to be clear. There are no specific vehicles today as it’s open mix  cars racing, correct?

That gif is from a Dutch tv program we had in the 70's/80's... One of the races was a reverse DAF 55 race. Thos little cars had a CVT transmission and could go as fast backwards as forwards🤣
