EA enhancing their reputation as usual🙃

That's a great shout actually, I was supposed to add that but forgot. I'm kind of copying how Gran Turismo do their league. I'll include it in the top post, cheers 🙂

Ok, so here we go. Spring Season starts on March 2nd and each Tuesday we will dedicate one race as a League race. Points for places from 12 weekly races. Best results from 10 races count towards final tally to decide seasonal winners. This will be decided after all 12 races are done. I'll add the specific points available at the end. I'll put a league table up after race 1. Each seasonal winner will also generate points for the Grand Final in December. Spring Season weekly tracks Season_Week

It’s going to be a mixed bag next week. We’re doing a rally race, a wet race and a standard race, of which the latter will be the first FG League race, and places will determine points and standings in the Spring Season FG Race League. Calendar for next week will be up today and full league schedule for the Spring Season will be up by the end of the week. I’ll do a thread on that and explain how the points system works etc

Another good night of racing, 13 of us in the first race, the maximum it allows is 16 and I think we’ll get that when everyone is free. Just going to talk about my experience today. I’m starting to find some improvement now in my wheel driving and I’m almost as fast as I was on controller. Felt I had some pace last night in qualifying for the first time. I’m still more inconsistent and prone to silly mistakes on the wheel and my race pace needs improving but overall I’m improving and enjoying the feeling of improving. I qualified well for race 1 and was goin

This game was one of the few reasons for picking up a PS5 but I hear Sony are planning to let more of their games go to PC...... here's hoping😁

I always find it funny when important gaming information turns up in a non gaming media. This from PS5 head honcho Jim Ryan...in GQ 🙄 "GT7 has been impacted by Covid-related production challenges and therefore will shift from 2021 to 2022. With the ongoing pandemic, it’s a dynamic and changing situation and some critical aspects of game production have been slowed over the past several months. We’ll share more specifics on GT7’s release date when available.”

Nice one, will get you added on Steam at some point today. I came back to PC gaming around 2012, first with Civilisation 5 and then with the DayZ mod. But I was using a work laptop which allowed me about an hour an a half on DayZ before overheating and dying. I loved that mod so much I saved my pennies for a gaming machine, best move I ever made.

That's really cool. There used to be only a few of us that played PC but that's really changed in the last year or two. There's quite a big gang now. Also, I would say pretty much all of us have every game you mentioned one way or another 😁

I'm the opposite, prefer first person. But many of the best survival games, like DayZ, give the option to switch between the two, so that would be a cool feature imo🙂

What made you decide to try PC? Any games in particular you have in mind to play? Answer these questions and tell us about your laptop and its specs in the hardware section🤗

I want it to be March to May, June to August and then September to November. I put all of the tracks onto Excel already so just need to finish it off. Maybe this week as I'm using up annual leave on Thursday and Friday. Cheers 🙂

Can take that on board. Still thinking of starting a league next month and would aim to advertise all league races via a quarterly calendar but I'm still in two minds if it's worth the effort 😁
