ALEX. knows their stuff
Default GT5 Online Racing (JAN 5TH - Thurs)

Well as per last week, get on for some fun! There were a number of people here from the last thread who should have their shite sorted for some fun now. If not.. you have 24 hours
Car of the Week is a stock Dodge Viper GTS '99. Do not tune it. You can paint it if you want... you'll find it in the ONLINE Car Dealership, NOT the new car dealership.



****************

GENERAL DETAILS - Racing online from 8:00pm onwards.

Add me to your PSN list. I'm GTP_AussieAlex. Join my room. (see my next post for how to join).
At 8:30-ish we will then join the Antilag guys in MGR's room.
You must add MGR to your friends list. If not, you can't get into his room as it is private.


We do 'Performance Point' races. You can select cars from the 'Recommended' garage, but it's in your advantage to have some cars of your own which you've tuned yourself to get the most performance out of them. Our usual limits for PP is:

> Unmodified/stock NASCARS w/ sports soft tyres
> Any car 550pp* or less w/ racing soft tyres
> Any car 450pp* or less w/ sports soft tyres
> And the usual one-make and shuffle races

We usually have boost on low, so racing is close and if you get punted off big time you'll catch up within a lap.

***********
