TuTu December 10 2013 - BTCC Support Race
« on: December 07, 2013, 02:04:18 PM »

It's here! I'm only running 2 TuTus in December due to Holidays, so I thought I'd get going right off the bat. Instead of using that Fit that you are forced to purchase at gunpoint by some Honda Henchmen (which sounds like a good name for a panel van Odyssey), we are gonna go with an early prize car that is a little more sporty... the Clio R.S. It's handy. Everybody should have one.

Also, the early TuTus of GT6 will focus on learning some of the new tracks. Cars will be spec so you can focus on learning the track and not tuning aspects. This week we'll start at Brands Hatch and run the different variations with time, etc. I'm calling it a BTCC Support Race because there are a bunch of haulers parked at the track and it would seem odd to haul your Fit or Clio in a semi to race it. And BTCC is the only series I can think of that actually races at this track.

Car: Renault Sport Clio R.S. '11

Stock. Wheels and paint allowed.

Restrictions:
Tuning: Prohibited
Tires: Comfort Soft
Lounge: Private Room
Track: Brands Hatch
Lap count: 5

Come join for this day of teething and learning (I figured out how to create a room, but I have no idea how y'all are supposed to find it)! You'll also be able to voice your opinion re: next week's TuTu track (Bathurst, Silverstone, etc.)!

Thanks stepper and all racers.

Stepper, host duties were handed over to me, after you left. No room implosion.  :)

I kept getting "Room Full" message when Stepper was hosting, same thing when Chrome took over, after 30 minutes I gave up.
The strange part of it is, it only showed 7 of 16 in the room.

I could never find the room, gave up after 30-45 minutes.  I think bada finally found the room, but had the same issue as Pete.  Online GT6 needs some work, hopefully it's running properly soon.

Thanks everyone... I think the car was entertaining enough...

everyone make sure to add me as a friend prior next week's event... hopefully having that done prior to the event will alleviate some of the issues we saw. Sorry everyone couldn't get into the room.

You might be on to something there stepper. The room wasn't recognizing new friends?

Pretty frustrating night trying to join you guys.
For awhile I couldn't even see the room, then could see it but it kept saying room full even though I could see that only 7 people were there.
Sometimes it would tell me to wait and try again, which kind of kept me trying longer than I probably should have.
Just want to thank you guys for taking the time to try to get us in.
Hope it didn't disrupt your races too much.

Sorry I missed this. After seeing the hidden livery option on the Miatas, well I had to have them all. Spent the whole night collecting them. Pretty sweet. I've got some cool photos I need to upload later tonight. I'll post those later.
