GTR Evolution - Anyone up for a race?

Thanks to No Prius Needed (you really are the greatest), I now have a copy of GTR Evolution. If anyone else here has the game and is willing to see if my craptastic internet connection can host races, I've got a game up. Title is "Oppo Challenge", password is "oppo" all lower case.

The cars are GT Club (or the lowest GT level), and the course is Brands Hatch Indy.

edit - Thanks to Vi517 and BlazinAce for coming out. I'm going to try and do this again later in the week, with something more than a "right now" warning.

As it is, I have to drop out due to what's starting to look like a sick kid.

If you can keep the race up for a while I'll try to come on now for a few minutes and after I have dinner. I'm a terrible driver though. Still trying to get used to using a wheel. :P

Oh, I'm there! Just let me pick up my controller, no one deserves to play this on a keyboard.

Unfortunately, I had to log out, but if anyone's interested, we could get something going for GTR on Oppo. It's a great game, it's accessible, affordable, there's lots of cars when you install all the expansion packs (Dibs on the Opel Commodore if we ever race Classics Max)... it's perfect!

I'm thinking a possibility of Thursday around 7pm EDT/11pm UTC. Maybe just a qualifying session and a 15 minute race to start. I'm just trying to stress test my system and see how many we can get to race.

I was able to set two hot laps before I had to leave and one I thought was pretty good! This was a lot more fun than just racing against AI. :)

I've been thinking about something like the Fourza/GT6 crowd has been doing, but on a completely different night to space things out.

Also, while there's a serious pull towards racing the expansions (Retro looks freaking amazing), I'd rather make a series as cheap and inclusive as possible, thereby sticking to either GTR Evo default cars.

Sorry, it was short lived due to low turnout, a (now confirmed) sick kid, and me not realizing that "immediately" is not enough warning for something like this.

Yup, that's probably the best idea, otherwise we'll end up running with just a handful of people every night. We should keep an eye out for steam sales however. I got my full package on one of those, and it was cheap :p

I would race if I was home. I have it so if you ever want to I'll race you.

I'm in. Also what wheel do you use?
