zmurko 7,622 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 First things first, this is a NON-GTA event! I'd like to run a Gran Turismo 6 get together in the near future. A one-off event or a reocurring one, I don't really care. I've checked and these are XDBX members (+HC) on my friends list that appear to have played this game: BMSTANG BoD-Nasty (DavidCore89) DeaD_GooN (desuno1) Dodgeservice GTP_Fido_le_muet handcuff_charlie jumbo67 JusTokenII revbouncer rikster1a silenttigercd SirSaha sonomiggo ssracing2 the_skip_rat TorridLS1 I know DC and desuno no longer have their PS3s, perhaps someone else not on my friends list still does (with GT6) and I'm not sure how many can actually still play the game, but it looks like a decent list. I'd be happy to just get 5-6 of us together for an hour of racing once per week. So I'd like to see how does everyone feel about an hour of racing after (or before) Sunday Racing League (currently F1 championship)? That would be either at 7:30 PM GMT or 4:30 PM GMT on Sundays. Here's what I've planned for the first event if you're wondering how would it look like or just to get you interested: 3 tracks, 3 races, 3 cars, 60min 1. UK race (issis): London, stock Minis, 10min practice and 8 laps race. Which car will you need? Spoiler Completely unmodified, Comfort Soft tires (or less) allowed. 2. US race (Dominators): Daytona Road Course, stock Ford Mustang GT '05, 10min practice and 4 laps race. Which car will you need? Spoiler Completely unmodified, Sports Hard tires (or less) allowed. 3. Euro race (Sentinels): Nürburgring GP / D, 550 PP BMWs, 10min practice and 6 laps race. Which car will you need? Any non-race BMW will do, limited at 550 PP. Racing Hard tires (or less) allowed. M3 (preffered), M4, M5, Z4, Z8, ... buy it, upgrade it, tune it, do whatever you want, just keep it at or under 550 PP. Let's see if we can get this thing off the ground and how soon can we do it. You'll probably need to update your GT6 games too and depending on when was the last time you've done this, it can take a while. I've also selected really cheap cars, so everyone can afford them, otherwise just run a seasonal event or something for some credits. Now, who's interested and how does the time slot look for everyone? I'm aiming at May 24th for our first time (after the F1 championship), but flexible and open to other suggestions too. 3 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge 7,248 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I've made an XDBX Crew online in GT6. Most of the names on this list should have an invite to it already. If not let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenttigercd 863 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Awesome! I need to install the game and start from scratch but I think I can manage to get the cars required. Racing before SRL is not possible for me. After is fine though. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'll need an invite. That Community feature confuses the shit out of me, but I've found the XDBX club and can't join, says I need an invite. Awesome! I need to install the game and start from scratch but I think I can manage to get the cars required. Racing before SRL is not possible for me. After is fine though. Looking forward to it! Cool, I don't exactly remember what you need to start racing online, but I think it's the International B license (?). But you should have more than enough credits for the cars required once you get the required license I think. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaD_GooN 1,312 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I will also most likely start from scratch. Even though I've barely touched the game. GT4 was the last one I actually enjoyed. But I'll give it a go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be available the first weekend of july July?! That's like 2 months away. I'll get bored of GT6 (again) by that time. I might be interested in this depending on decided starting time. Nothing is set in stone, so feel free to suggest a day/time you might be able to make it. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip_rat 447 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I still have GT6 and my PS3 so I'd like to give it a go. I haven't played online against other players before though, should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenttigercd 863 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Updating game now. It takes a very long time. Been running almost 2 hours and it's on update 7/17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running almost 2 hours and it's on update 7/17 It is possible for the updates to mess up in which case you might have to do them one or two at a time. I think I googled it and found a procedure for the updates that worked, but it was a bit of a nightmare. It does take an age to install them all though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrid 653 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I should probably get mine fired up and updated soon. It's been a while and probably will be a long process as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenttigercd 863 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 To anyone installing/updating this game from scratch: be warned it takes a very long time (approx 6 hours!) Also, and as Z correctly pointed out, you need a 'National A' license before you're allowed online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge 7,248 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Invites should be out to all. Exempt silenttigercd. You do not show up as an option. Probably won't until you can log on to online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurko 7,622 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Cool, I'll join when I fire it up tomorrow. There's been a lot of response for this, so I'm feeling optimistic we can get some racing done with quite a few members. Should be fun, eventhough my GT6 racing skills are nowhere near my GTA skills. I call dibs on the back of the grid. Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmurko 7,622 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) I think I'm ready too: So, are we still on for May 24th at 7:30 PM GMT? Or do you wanna try this out sooner? I think few still need to get their licenses ready or even install/upgrade their GT6. This gives them a whole week to get ready. Rest of us can do some practising in the meantime. I think I have the London track in a stock Mini figured out, still need to work on Daytona in the Mustang (can't figure out the breaking points as there's almost no reference points around the track).

I plan on obtaining my A license this evening so I'll be ready for tomorrow if required. Next week is fine too as I should have my steering wheel and pedals by then Could I request an Evo / Impreza race at some point in the future? I've taken quite a liking to this beast: Edited May 16, 2015 by silenttigercd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmurko 7,622 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 I was thinking we could share "hosting" every week so that we have someone else pick cars/track for each week. Just mix it up a little bit every week, different PP cars, some stock some tuned, different style tracks, etc ... A little bit for everyone. I know I really suck at tuning (no idea what 95% of settings really mean) and I don't really like extremely high PP cars (up to 550/600 is still somewhat enjoyable), so that's why I went with 2 stock cars this week. Yeah, those Subarus/Mitsubishis are awesome. I bought one of the Subaru Imprezas today (have 3 different ones already I think) and it is just glued to the road, it made Nordschleife look like an easy track to drive even at 530+PP. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an easy was to tell which cars are non-race? Is it based on racing decals, 'race car' in the name, 'race spec' in the description or something else?

zmurko 7,622 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Yeah, I never quite understood what's considered a racing-car. Sometimes it says it's a racing car in the description, sometimes it doesnt. Most have racing decals. I'm not really sure to be honest. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
