Heya boys.
I know the chances of any of you blokes playing Gran Turismo is slim, but i just thought i'd throw it out there and see if there are any closet GT LANers out there .....?
This is an ongoing timesheet involving road going cars with road tires in LAN mode (other classes of car are also catered for though) at the great Nurburgring. I've been running it for a while over at the Spirit of Gran Turismo forums (those German blokes seem to enjoy the Green Hell), and quite a few times are currently listed. Also started a similar thread at the GT Times for some submissions by Bobkart and his Lan group.TorcTalk has its own thread as well, with a regular bunch of fast New Zealanders that have submitted hundreds of times. Participating threads can be found -

An Excel spreadsheet is available at the link provided at the end of this post.
Basically all you need is 2 - 6 guys hooked up to GT4 in Lan mode. Go to the Nurburgring. All select Road Cars and use Road Tires (RD) with NO TIRE WEAR. You can run up to 4 laps maximum (but less if you like, most guys run 2 or 3laps).
I'm trying to encourage guys to use cars that they have a genuine interest in. Its fine if you want to try out superquick cars that have a chance of topping the timesheet (remembering that the timesheet has a few different catagories based on power). But don't be afraid to run something a bit slower or less popular if you really like it in real life. Its all about trying to simlulate the real world road car battles that you would see everyday at the Nurburgring. You can run the Lan as races all trying to battle it out, or you can stagger the starts. Slipstreaming is allowed, but i'm not wanting groups of Lan players all trying to run some sort of intentional slipstreaming group effort in order to get superquick times. Run like you would in real life and have some fun around this great track. Sometimes we run identical cars, other times we run completely different machines and get totally different times, but when you have the timesheet to look at you can still get some fun knowing that you have hundreds of times to compare with. Try and run the track as cleanly as possible, but of course off track incidents may happen - but do NOT cut corners or run rails intentionally!
Remembering the real life rules of the Nurburgring, if a faster car is comming through, give it racing room.
What to submit:
Date/No of Drivers/No of Laps/Cars used/Controller Used/Lan Location
What ya waiting for. Start your engines and get cracking.
And if there are any guys in SE Queensland who fancy a bit of racing then don't be shy in inviting yourself over for a quick blast around the Nurburgring.
