@nine_five_4 @NobleF1 @iamjamesbragg @NJCDevelopments Thanks for organising, Johnny. Super Sierra tune and combos were tonnes of fun despite the odd #HairyMoment

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@NobleF1 @thegranturismo @nine_five_4 @iamjamesbragg @NJCDevelopments Well done, Jon!

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

Well this is a tricksy combo...

Looking forward to spending a lot of time in the gravel traps

🚨 ROUND 6 🚨

Sunday 4th February - 8pm

Slight change to proceedings so we can get the championship closed up:

5 min qualy and 10 lap race at RBR with half points awarded (No FL point)

This will set the grid for a 1hr enduro at Brands GP with full points and 1pt for FL

@parsot @NJCDevelopments @27racers What else would you expect, Tim?! 🙃

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@parsot @NJCDevelopments @NobleF1 @BridgerSToilet Was great (if slightly laggy) fun, Tim!

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

What's the downside to eating a clock?

Just loaded up Last of Us 2 Remastered.

See you again in 2 months.

@chauspain Sending love, Joe

Trying to find the line through the final sector at Fuji #granTurismo

@snavEwerdnA Related note: my belief that Brits shouldn't adopt American euphemisms for death is the hill I'll pass on.

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@ChrisVermeer71 @HizalMikail @parsot @thegranturismo Yeah, same here. No lobby list. Long wait to join. When in the lobby largely ok but desynchronized after an hour. All other cars just parked up at the side of the track. Decided to call it a night at that point.

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

GT7 lobby issues again last night. 30 mins+ trying to get everyone in (@parsot simply couldn't join).

Then, 23 laps into a 33 lap race, this happens...

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@Jamal_Anwahi @HizalMikail Ah, that's just rubbing salt in the wound, isn't it. This stuff can be really frustrating.

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@Jamal_Anwahi @HizalMikail Oh no. I've had a couple of 'unexpected errors' that have prevented me from joining dailies but nothing like this. Were you in a race lobby when the error occurred?

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@Jamal_Anwahi @parsot @thegranturismo @HizalMikail 👍

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@ChrisVermeer71 @HizalMikail @parsot @thegranturismo 👍

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@JasonCo76584874 Yeah, here's hoping it's looked at asap but we first had this just over a month ago.

Good luck with your championship 👍

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@JasonCo76584874 Yeah, it's hugely frustrating, isn't it? It's the second time in the past month it's happened in this champs. While we're all still committed, if it keeps happening, it'll get to the point where we just can't be bothered with the hassle.

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@chauspain @NobleF1 @nine_five_4 @thegranturismo @iamjamesbragg It's great that there's more than one way to drive these races.

I was cautious, thought I'd need some laps to get me back in the race after pitting. Which is why I stopped early. Was catching Nick @ 2s per lap (for the 2 laps we managed before the disconnect).

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@iamjamesbragg Yeah, mix 1 all the way, baby. Pretty confident I would have made up some places by the end but not sure if I'd be back behind Joe...

[Ian // e1978__ @e1978_]

@HizalMikail Hey. I didn't experience any lobby issues on Sat but I didn't try to join any.

I did run a quick test lobby on Sunday at about 14:00 (UK time again) and all was fine with the servers at that point for me.
