haha well I got on at about 4pm and been playing on and off since so I am all tired now haha. But it was fun getting on with you guys and doing some 86DRIVE-style scenic follow-the-leader LOL. Then getting some real racing on at Laguna, and Spa with @BigFatFlip.

pics of your new wheels!!! or it didn't happen!

Sorry I couldn't make it on tonight. Was exhausted, just came home and face planted.

Interesting that you mimicked some of the style turns we drive on a custom course. I didn't realize you could get that specific/detailed with the course creator function, looking forward to checking it out.

Just got home from exhaust purchasing. Probably no gaming for me.

You can't get that detailed with it, but there are some locales available that approximate the kind of landscape and terrain we enjoy here.

That was a pretty awesome course, PMok. I didn't realize you could even get close to something resembling east bay roads. I was so bummed when I got booted from the Laguna Seca race and then had to bail for dinner right after. I think I heard you say that I stalled at the start? Haha. I was just staring at a blank screen.

Also, what's up with my car in the pictures above? Is that really how it looks? Was full damage on and I didn't realize it when I was running into things?

Haha yeah when the Laguna race started you were just parked there in P1. I had to weave around you real quick to catch B.

I had damage set to light which means mechanical damage goes away after a while, but cosmetic appearance is affected by crashes regardless of the setting I think. So you gotta drive clean if you wanna look pretty for the pictures. You should have seen B's car after his first lap on the course, it was so wrecked I couldn't take any usable pics of it LOL.

Lol, Pmok and I thought you stalled (can actually happen if you are using a wheel w/ clutch) but when you didn't move at all, we figured you got kicked out.

Yeah, that was the first time in probably 8 months I've played the game, so I was just flying all over the place. I'm surprised you even got pics with me in it, I was busy trying to catch up the last half of that race.

The 2 Laguna races we had were nice and close, too bad I choked and couldn't recover lol. Definitely gonna try to get a head set now, chatting with the controller was a nightmare, lol

yeah if you don't have a head set, at least find a spare USB keyboard and plug it in... it lets you type much faster than the controller would.

here's some replay action from last night's 86DRIVE style follow-the-leader session.

so I've downloaded the new GT Academy 2013 /GT6 demo ... lots of familiar territory. First impression was, wow they really demonstrate the amount of body roll on the Leaf. Maybe GT5 did so too but I didn't spend much time driving the Leaf in that game. Graphics and interface are not changed much, over GT5 so I am a little disappointed. Fun to be able to try a new track (Silverstone) right off the bat though. Perhaps true to the real deal but it feels very flat and there's not much scenery so it's not really a great demonstration of the graphic abilities of the PS3/GT6.

How did you do this in the middle of the day? DO YOU WORK?!! ......

I'm off this week... :happy0180:
