GTPC: Indianapolis

Wow, my computer just won't give me a break this season....

I lost two places in the last lap. Will make reports, sorry to have to say it. GT direct duel is not more (or less) than NGT direct duel.

Tom Ostry

anybody have lag? i got lag bad, and was able to recover, but i lost alot of positions, and finally i got a disconect

No but I lost my FFB on the formation lap!! Shit its horrible without it. Then I kept loosing the usb connection to my simulator, boy that was funny at times :-D

I had a blast, took only 148 events for me to get my first pole, lead first half of race, but blew engine in 2nd with 5 minutes to go. theFinn deserved the win as he was very quick. Every one was very clean and gave a lot of room on track...

Sorry to Rob for knocking him out of qualifying, I thought I had the line.

I am absolutely heartbroken about this one. I was second fastest after the amazing Borut in qualifying (congrats Borut) and I was clear second fastest in race as well, holding an easy second place for 50 minutes solid constantly growing my lead. I got punted off by a GT car at one point and after re-entering the track and getting going again, I still had a safe gap on the next car back, so it was looking awesome as I went into the pits. (I hit the pit request button, he told me to come in).

I get into the pit and there's a Lister in my spot. I have seen people post screenshots about getting screwed by a car in their spot and saw this was happening, but I figured ok, just stay calm and wait. So he finally pulled out of the stall and then I pulled in and....nothing. The crew just sat there. I waited for maybe 15 or 20 seconds and then filled with rage I left the lane and did another lap on bald tires and did another pit. Of course being so upset and distracted, I forgot to shut the ignition off on the second pit, so it ended up taking me a total of 54 seconds. I came out probably dead last. I managed to reel back one position from Johnny and then it was like a 38 second gap for me to make up in about half an hour. I closed the gap to about 8 seconds by the last few laps of the race but it was hopeless.

It was such a piss-off I wanted to just quit the race alltogether after the pit bullshit but I don't want to have a single DNF to my name unless there's absolutely no saving it...Impressive race, Borut, well-deserved.

congrats to the podium.
Good race for the most part. I was able to run consistent times. I could see that I ran less wing than most. I had a terrific battle with Pete for several laps. My car was to fast. On the last couple of laps I popped a motor. Oh well. The battles were well worth the time and effort, despite the result.

PS the game was a little choppy

Congrats Tom. It's tough to finish a race that way. Better luck next time.

ABSOLUTLY DISSAPOINTING RACE!!!!!!!!
Qual was ok with Viper, got a good start and was able to keep the paste, i was 5th and got a few gifts like Gabor who went off and gave me 3rd, but he came back and was breathing in my neck, THEN!!! the hole computer froze, just like in practice and had to reset, hope i didn't cause any accident, sorry for that, but i don't understand, been online for about 10 months and never had any issues, one thing that was new, Teamspeak... first time i use it, could it be the cause??? even if i shutt it off just before qual... i read that i was not the only one with problems, could it be the track?? as for 2 in a pit stall, i saw that twice so far and that's really a bummer, any idea Charles??
hope to race the hole laps next time...Seeya and grats to the ones that didn't crash(computer)!!

Thanks Justin. This was amazing race for me but i hat a good and fast setup and this was a first victory for me.Congrats to all.
