Tried again tonight but couldn't beat it.  Again the best I got was a 2:00.2xx

I had it beat once until I got to the last sector.  It probably would have been a 1:59 but I fucked up the last corner. 

Wish I could make it tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I'll still be at work. 

Have fun!

Hey guys, I got a small survey here concenring GT Saturdays.  It'll literally take a minute to fill out.  Doesn't matter if you race in the event or not, it's to get a general census.


"Around this time last year was the intial launch of GT Saturdays.  We'd like to thank everyone who's participated throughout the past year.

Wizard had posted a time of around 2:00 flat, which was very impressive.  I think Crow got one lap like that out of the 27 lap race we did at Tokyo.

But the surprise this week was a 1:59 posted by a name we weren't familiar with...  he ended up winnin the race after battling four-ways to get up to the front and start pulling away.

i2drunk2drive???

Anyone know if this is an alias for someone else or know who this is?  We asked him to divulge after the race but so far, no comment   
(and if he happens to read this, it's just out of curiousity.  you are always welcome to join us again.)

I found a couple of cars that would have been fun, but I accidentally napped my day away.

i2drunk2drive???

Even though that name accurately describes my weekend GT5 sessions, it's not me.   

Not sure who it is either.  I don't think it's a Tuna.

Lets see a dude shows up under the name 2drunk2drive shows up and Dude "napped" through the event. Hmmmmm curious turn of events there.

That thought did cross my mind. I could have been sleep drunk driving, but I checked my PS3 and the alt is not on my sign in list. So nope it's not me.  

Somebody check out that EffinGuy LOL

it just goes to show there are a lot of people out there that can be really quick who we just haven't ever met before.

I still think the name SOUNDS like an alias, but all of our names are aliases anyways... but you know what I mean.  some people have a serious name and a quirky funny one.

when we got the FR from someone with that name, I was half expecting a reckless driver who had no idea how to behave.  glad it turned out not to be so.

updating op with this week's specs, VERY SIMPLE:

Monaco/Cote d' azur (not sure on laps, PSN forum is down)
Completely stock Fiat 500s (new one)
Tuning Prohibited
Oil change/break-in is okay

A tuneless saturday? hmmm?

Should make it easy for anyone here to join at last minute.  Just make sure you send a FR to GT_Saturday at least an hour before the race if you aren't already on there.

Just to let everyone know, we will be testing a new format tomorrow.  We will be running 2 different classes of cars in the same race.  There's a sign-up post so we can ensure that the classes have enough racers in both.  You can post here what classs you want to be in to save you the trouble of logging in "over there."

As I'm not participating in these events this question is really just out of curiosity.

Why is the maximum horsepower 502?  Every single car eligible for this event exceeds that power limit by at least 10%

[PKR_Cipriani99]

Quote from xlr8life who setup the specs:

I had plans to run at 700hp, but I had issues with overdriving in corners, I ran my chromeline during a 500pp online seasonal events, the car was just below 400hp and handled great. Plus my big issue was tire wear, 700 hp was a killer on tires, even hards, 500 hp helped them last longer. Basically I was thinking about long runs instead of short, especially on Cape Ring, that track was a tire eater, lowering the hp helped on that track too, it's still a bit slick, mainly through the ring, but it's a lot better than 700hp was.

Ah, thanks.
