Instead of manning up and taking a ~40 second penalty that'll send me from 2nd to 10th/16 for Race 1 I thought I'd make a thread here for a little bit of fun and creativity (I'll probably get the penalty regardless) :) So I'm the black Alfa, and in the first corner of the first race, I've bumped into the blue Alfa (Rod) and he's gone off the road, only to rejoin the track in 13th (but ended up catching up and finishing 3rd right behind me). The grey car on the left (Gastro) started to cut in front and then braked early, which made me unbalance the car while avoiding him which sent me off into the blue car (Rod). You can see the G-force meter move slightly where I was originally going to turn in before aborting that - to be honest I probably would've been better off just ramming the grey car :p So let's hear your best racing driver excuses below after considering the evidence :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-c6Zjtp8vg -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

I'm involved with a weekly Gran Turismo 5 league that has official championship races on Tuesday nights. In this thread you'll be able to find live recordings of each race. The league name is OzCoMoBros, which stands for Australian Company of Motorsport brothers. The league host, Velly (or Velster) is an Engineer and Test Driver at Ford in Geelong. The league structure is as follows: Pre-league - nominate car suggestions (one make or multiple, which cars, vote on a shortlist), same for track selections, and propose other ideas. One or two weeks of test races with the chosen cars at random tracks. Race night (Tuesday): 8:30pm - join the room for hot laps/practice. 9:00pm - a 3 lap shakedown practice race (helps to get rid of Turn 1 kitters). 9:10pm - 10 minutes of qualifying - fastest lap time starts first. 9:20pm - 3x ~20 minute races for points or 1x 60+ minute endurance race with pit stops. All aids are disabled except for ABS x1. All tuning is prohibited. There are two tiers - Tier 1 run harder tyres for the elite drivers, Tier 2 for the decent drivers, and Tier 3 for those who can't drive. I'm in Tier 2, which on average gives me about 2 seconds per lap compared to when I drive on Tier 1 tyres. On the other hand, I am the only person who drives in cockpit view, which balances things out a little. Feel free to mock provide constructive feedback and point out a few things I may have not noticed in the heat of the battle. I openly acknowledge I'm not the worlds best racer [insert gasp here] and currently the races occur when it's hot in here and it's after work so I'm often a bit tired which leads to lazy racing. I'll start posting videos in the next post and keep all links here + a season standings grid as provided by the host. Season 8 Round 1 - Grand Valley East Round 2 - Deep Forest Round 3 - Cape Ring Inside Round 4 - LeMans Endurance Event Round 5 - Rome Reverse Round 6 - Daytona Road Course Round 7 - Motegi Twin Rings Round 8 - Eifel Custom Track Round 9 - Madrid Endurance Event Round 10 - Indianapolis Road Course After 9 rounds: Driver Standings: Team Standings Only the top two placing drivers for each team score points for their team ------------------ Season 6 Round 1 - Deep Forest Reverse Round 2 - Trial Mountain Round 3 - Grand Valley Short Reverse Round 4 - Eiger Short Reverse Round 5 - Suzuka GP Wet (1/2 Points) Round 6 - Clubman Stage Route 5 Round 7 - Autumn Ring Mini Didn't attend Round 8 - Nürburgring GP/D Round 9 - Cape Ring Inside Round 10 - Twin Rings Motegi - Short Course FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS - SEASON 6

Jstickboy13... :lol:... from GT Planet posted this today: Lastest update of GT5 was 107Mb, which was a bit larger than it should, since they fixed a few things and did "not" add anything. To me, it seems VERY legit, but that license plate... :hmmm: What you guys think about it?

Hi all, I'm back (for the third time >_< ) I finally got my hands on a PS3, and naturally I got GT5 with it. So if anybody wants to hang out in the world of GT5, I'm game :cool: I'll try and make my photos as realistic as I can, but I still need to learn all the controls etc. Anyway, I hope you like! -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

I extend to you an open invitation (unless ramming idiots join who will quickly be kicked out) to play some GT5 with your TDU-C friends and foes. In an attempt to cater for the main timezones, we'll schedule this for: Melbourne/Sydney: SATURDAY August 12 @ 9:15pm London/GMT: Saturday August 12 @ 12:15pm Rio de Janeiro: Saturday August 12 @ 8:15am USA EST: Saturday August 12 @ 6:15am All aids will be forced off (except for ABS = 1). We'll do a 2-race 5-lap format (depending on track length), the first race with a low PP, and then the second with a high PP index. Boost off and penalties weak. If racing is spread out I might consider turning Boost on to weak to make things more interesting. Rather than wasting time with voting if you have a favourite track list it below when you sign up and I'll try and make sure we visit it. Will be there: 1. Ryzza5 2. 14 3. TDUFREAK 4. Ozzmcom 5. Pyrre 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Will be square: 1. Camel 2. Milli 3.
