GTL Closed Races

4T5 · 15 Jan 2006 at 10:44

I have posted this on another Forum and am building an MSN list for Closed races. Hopefully there will soon be enouth for regular meets.

Online is getting like Banger racing at times its ridiculous. Worst of all is qualifying in the top 3 only to get shunted off at the first bend. Either that or passing someone Clean and him ramming you off.
Sometimes i freak out which is wrong but Damn its so frustrating.
Funny thing is if the Guy says Sorry i dont mind at all and just Laugh. There will always be a bit of contact during Hard races but when the guy doesn't say sorry it feels deliberate and Winds me up.
I intend to Host Private races using a Password given out on MSN.
I have a 10Meg connection so up to 12 runs fine once all in and locked down.
So Add me Dudes and Keep an Eye on MSN for Details.

My MSN is [email protected] so add me then when i go online i can give out the PW and the Pit name.
Personally all i want are a few peeps that want to race Hard but Clean and Like to have a Good Laugh about it on the way. I am happy to race any car and any Track. I dont care if you are Fast or Slow all i care about is that you Intend to race clean and act like a Gent.
I hope a good 10-20 of you dudes out there feel the same way and add me and by this evening we have a Meet organized. Race after Race hardcore gent racing.

[email protected]

Cheers for reading,
[TSR]WOLF

I should have mentioned i am Located in the Middle of England for those worried about pings.
On GTR English dudes had pings below 100 and some of around 30-40 and that was when i had 3meg. Now i have 10meg. I know mad a. 10meg who would have thought it.

All new Dudes are welcome but Introduce yourself after Adding me to MSN or you will be Deleted as a Non Chatter.
Also remember only Racers with Good intentions are Welcome. All Spacktards and Ramma's etc will be Kicked Banned and Abused.

Good thinking, I've only had GPL for a week and yet I'm finding that all it takes is 1 rammer and it screws the whole race.

Fireblade2K4 · 15 Jan 2006 at 23:07

Ooooh this sounds fun, I've only recently got this excellent sim so still getting used to it but I'd def be up for some online racing, I too hate banger racing, thats what stopped me playing F1 99-02 Challenge online....to many drivers who can't reach the brake pedal

time to junk playing with my ps2 joypad and get my wheel out the loft then.

NutritioN · 16 Jan 2006 at 00:10

OT: OP: I ran into you in UT2004 today didn't I?

BTW, if I had GTL I'd join you on this, sounds like a great idea.

DaveyD · 16 Jan 2006 at 00:28

I'd like to race, but the problem is, I'm so appaulingly bad at it, I'd be kicked within seckonds

timbob · 16 Jan 2006 at 09:45

I'd be into this, GTL is great fun!

Behemoth · 16 Jan 2006 at 09:50

I'm up for some of that, GTL is really good, doubt I can keep up with youlot though.

4T5 · 16 Jan 2006 at 10:02

Thanks for your Responces guys.
Seems general consensus that Publics are becoming Banger meets rather than Race meets.
I should think by the way things are going i should be hosting a Meet real soon.
Dust of your wheels and get ready for some Awesome Hard but Fair racing.
Please don't be afraid to get involved if you are not Quick. I am not the quickest by a long way.
I would like to work the races out to be competitive and would like others to have the same attitude. Close racing is what i'm looking for whether it be at the back of the field or front.
I will happily use a different car to keep things fair and expect others to do the same.
Watch this space dudes or the Text box after my name on MSN. :cool:

I recently got this game, but haven't tried it online yet. Been playing too much CoD2.

Might be interested if the average online race meet is just a banger race.

steve45 · 16 Jan 2006 at 12:06

i love GTL, havnt tryed online yet, mainly for that exact reason, i just cant be bother with some losers ramming you just for the hell of it, it kinda just puts me off.had a couple of online races with GTR though and it seems its pretty much the same deal, but i geuss thats just what you have to expect with public servers, may give one a try later today and see what happens.

i cant say i'm a great driver but i can hold my own, recently i've been a bit distracted by new mods for both GTR and Rfactor, but i'm getting back into GTL, still working my way through the career.

are you on the RSC forums at all? the [TSR] in you're sig looks very fimiliar.

disco Stu · 16 Jan 2006 at 14:02

pretty you cannot turn collisons off like in motogp3.Takes some of the fun away but aleast you get a fair race and the idiots just end up in the kitty litter

Psymonkee · 16 Jan 2006 at 15:54

I should really install and play this

Been meaning to for ages

Will need to tidy my room first though :/

At least it gives me something to do since my X360 is Out of Order for tonight

4T5 · 18 Jan 2006 at 15:55

Initial plans.

First meet will be Sunday. Session will be for 3 hours plus. Times will Follow.
Looking likely to be same make races to keep it fair.
This will be a regular Sunday meet once established a Tournament will evolve.

Start time to be Announced.

Also keep an eye on the text box after my name on MSN. It will indicate when i am On GTL enabling you to join if you feel like a casual race.

Logsi · 18 Jan 2006 at 17:16

eep. Looks like I'm gonna have to start using msn then

saitrix · 18 Jan 2006 at 21:02

Id be up for it, im already on your msn Malc.

4T5 · 20 Jan 2006 at 09:15

Start time will be 8pm on Sunday English time.
A short time to settle in and warm up then continuous races till we can't take any more.
Hopefully this will go well enouth to have every Sunday.

Its down to you dudes. Turn up have fun and Lets have it.

My Aim is to get close racing for all. Whether at the back or front fun can be had if you have an Even Opponent.
I am not trying to find out who is the uber driver i am just trying to bring like minded Hard but fair racers together.

Most importantly Fun is what its about. A few knocks a few crashes a few wins and a few losses. :cool:

4T5 · 20 Jan 2006 at 09:43

Points.

Discostu. I will keep the first races short say 5 lappers. Then the crashers will not have long to wait. Once the guys get used to each other and settle down i will increase the race distance.

Davey D. You will not be kicked for being slow only for deliberetly wrecking peeps.

Nutrition. Nope not UT2005. I do my killing BF2 style. Must have been an Imposter.

Steve45. Yes mate i am on RSC. I have posted this exact same thread. Excellent site for Race game resources. [TSR] have been about quite a while now and we have members throughout the world playing many differents racers.
We have developers/modders/track and car skinners with there fingers all over the place its really quite cool.
Of course they are all the Young clever dudes and i am the Old racer type dude. Right fast bunch of ******* aswell.

Behemoth. You're welcome mate. To be honest i am hoping for a few slow peeps as i will need someone to race at the back. I am not fast but i am Very clean and Consistant. I get good results through putting in clean laps time after time and Hopefully passing a few of the fast dudes as they Dig themselves out the sand.

All are Welcome. Hope you can make it Dudes. :cool:

Behemoth · 20 Jan 2006 at 10:10

I'll be there with bells on

Had to start from scratch with the single player, had a lsight problem with my PC. Will catch you on msn soonish I expect.
