Haven't we had this one already? Same track and everything?


Time of day seems good though.

Yes, but it was a while ago and it was a great race.

We really need to make a google doc or spreadsheet of all the people who have raced in NRL and what their best times to race are...

[Sleeplessnights]

Sign me up! Practicing right now. I can never seem to get to the end of the 7th Gear on the 458, even with shorter gears.

Been 2 months since I last played GT almost (end of GT Academy).
Will practice for an hour, if I feel confident I'll come back here and confirm!

[magawolaz]

I can't join you tonight, but I hope to be there next weekend.
No more sunday night races?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Tried deleting all my installed data. Don't know how long that's going to take or if I'll be able to join.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

How can I join race lounge? GT5NRL is offline.

 

[ashk]

Damn my wheel is so dusty

 

[Metalmurphy]

How can I join race lounge? GT5NRL is offline.

You can still join it.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Ok............. it deleted the files and I tried to enter my lounge but now it's just sitting there flashing install.... Ugh, this is fucking ridiculous.

 

[Toxa]

Damn my wheel is so dusty

just get in

 

[weekend_warrior]

Yeah this is totally FUBAR, I can't even get to the settings menu to turn off install. I might just re-format my entire HDD.

 

[Toxa]

niks

niks is always competitive at Monza

 

[Risgroo]

FUCK

 

[Sleeplessnights]

2nd in SLS, 4th overall. Not bad for my first time. Hope to make it next race.

 

[weekend_warrior]

The race just ended? I just finished re-downloading all 17 patches and now it's installing game data.

edit: fuck what's going to happen with all my DLC? Will I be able to re-download that??

yes and yes

 

[chillumchilla]

Well done everyone that was fun.

Shame about Nabi, WW & Kaizor.

Is it sleeplessnights who got 2nd?

I hardly crashed but my lap times were 5 seconds behind, hope I didn't slow down any of the leaders.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Been installing for almost 2 hours now, and stuck on 1m40s for an hour of that. I'm starting to give up the hope of ever playing GT5 again. :\

 

[vissione]

.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Ps3 is making a lot of weird noises now...

edit:

I give up. 2 1/2 hours and still no change. Couldn't even back out of the install process, had to unplug the ps3 to restart it. I have no idea what's going on.

 

[Dibbz]

Weekend, that doesn't sound to good.

Glad you guys managed to get a race going. Which car won? SLS or 458?
