basically... so just easy grind to that level. Thats it. Then £0 out of your pocket. yes, Vault of Glass is free to all players. So you can keep saying to us all in game as well as here LoOk At ThIs NeW GuN I hAd 4 YeArS aGo. Still, its gonna be a great experience, for people that have never played D1 before and for others that really miss the experience of a 6 player team jumping into a raid. If the Deep Stone Crypt Raids are anything to go by, we'll have even more laughs with everyone on this. I'd suggest buying the Season whilst you're around though at the least. £8 for all the content they put in the game plus all the rewards from Season Pass alone for the next 3 months are easily worth the money.

Good few races this week, unfortunately the GT Sport update delayed us all getting off earlier than expected but worth the wait. I don't think i've ever seen so much practice go on in previous weeks so nice to see the buzz around! @JBR-Kiwi had some stellar races, winning the first 2 and wiping the floor with us if i'm honest. @jordie1892 showed great pace and he was just unfortunate that a miscalculation meant he wasn't even higher. @Macca89 showed some promise again but his race was impacted early from lack of knowledge on the track 'prone to the dust zones' I think others had an off week or moments that just defined their racing night which meant they slipped down the leaderboard in all 3 races. Kiwi gets my vote for keeping the Super League going still!

Save the best to nearly last, right? 😄 Yeah, I expected this week to be tight in the FG Super League race but felt confident because i knew i was quick and could pull off a good show on this track. I stuck to my strategy of Mediums 12 laps, Softs for 8 laps with a little fuel save early on meds to try and save refuelling stop time. A solid quick and incident free race from me (finally) means I ended up in a much needed 3rd place. Thankful that I have some consistency traits somewhere in my body 😄 Thought @JBR-Kiwi blew us apart with the right car and strategy. Thought @jordie1892 was great in the league race only to be unlucky and mess up his fuel calculations. Nice to see another 10 FGers start the league race.

Only thing to add is Destiny is working well on a Thursday but hopefully raids can keep working well around everything else.

I won't lie mate, I struggle on other nights but I think Thursdays is the only other possibility. Mondays FG has FIFA working well, and personally I have football on a Weds (which will likely involve 3-5 FGers too) and then there's FG Fridays. What time is your thing on Tuesdays? How are others fixed on Thursdays?

FYI, I'm still working with the developer of our tournaments application that is great to holding information like the results and league table. If I can get him to create something before the next season I will try because its so much nicer to have it all inbuilt within its own section.

Thanks @J4MES OX4D . Might as well sign up and see if we can get a code. I've stuck mine on PS5.

Points for the team thingy should be just simple - whatever you get where you finishing is added up together per duo. I think I'm with @jordie1892 for it to be a lottery. If we didn't match up skill levels based on previous scores then I'd say otherwise. At the end of the day its easy to get carried away with these things. We have to remember the recent GT Sport League and the FIFA Euro League we've going on here has been successes because we all have fun and don't go too uber sweaty on these things. Definitely wanna see some full grids (16) over the coming months and this helps it happen.

You can essentially download both now, similar to other games that have a PS5 version. I would suggest to do that which is what I will do. I've been trying to search to see if cross-gen is or isn't enabled and I can't find concrete evidence, although based on previous games decisions I know, all bar one (FIFA) allow you to play with PS4 folk and vice versa. However, I'm sure I read before that if you're on PS5 and you create a lobby that now can hold up to 24 players on PS5, it won't work for PS4 people. This for me is the challenge as I usually do the lobbies on FG Friday when i'm on but need us all to join. Lol, just realised I ask this question over a month ago on their Steam discussion board.... So it should be cross-gen enabled and hopefully it'll notice when a PS4 player jumps in a lobby it will restrict cars to 16 to save messing around with our versions.

I should really be saying this is a good idea providing @Mikepjbell doesn't get Peugeot or Audi. I can feel his anxiety kicking in 😄

I think the car manufacturer restriction scares me a little. Only because we all are still varying skill levels and what gets us through some races is the fact we can be partially competitive with whatever cars do well on tracks. I mean, what we could do is a little test of that, perhaps in the second race in the night possibly? Doesn't have to be mapped to points but certainly worth a try for a few weeks. Although working out manufacturer is a little difficult outside Audi and Peugeot for all around reliability! 🤣

Tom @LordBaguette is screwed then, as his teammate will be hammering him if he CBA's again! Overall I think its a great idea, definitely gives extra vibes on how to approach races alongside helping more people learn the game more. We've done a great job (well, not me, others!) in terms of helping many of us lesser experienced folk get better and understand more about the finer details. This seems a great way to keep people engaged and something else to aim at. Btw, if you wanted utilise some of the software we have on here atm, a subtle different way you could do it is, is each week one team are up against another team and the collectively points each teammate gets is their overall score. I'd love to in one sense because everything looks cool in those tables! but I do think you'd probably want some decent attendance. Either way would love to make it more than just an individual race so great shout @jordie1892 !

Happy birthday La! @RenFengge Hope you enjoy lots AND lots of cake to offset the fitness work (surely that can wait for a few days!) 🎂😋

What a league race this week! Lots of things happening, it felt like most drivers were in it with a shout. @JBR-Kiwi had a cracker of a race given for the fact I think he got away from everyone else without a scratch the entire race! Everyone had struggles but came through the pack well - most notably @Mikepjbell and @phil bottle. And then @Greboth making his way back from dead last to second was an achievement...probably lucky it happened on the first lap! I somehow spun the car nearly half way through the race whilst sitting in 3rd after such a good start - devastated. @crispymorgan really held the second fantastically well, but came unstuck right at the end with @Lurch driving fantastically consistent throughout to get 3rd. Commendable mention for @Macca89 too. If he starts to understand more about the strategies that can be done, i really think a higher position was available. I think James just edges it from Phil tbh. Phil nearly nicking third made his strategy pay off but in the end another solid drive from James on this track sealed him a great finish. Crispy is so close to nailing the entire pack though if he can get the strategy right. What's your vote? Poll is above 👆 and sound off below 👇

I'm still amazed but equally not surprised we can do something like this and have a real good bunch that not only tries to compete against each other but also is trying to help each other improve. I even felt at one point @Macca89 who has picked it up relatively shortly was gonna get a great race result if it wasn't for the strategy. @JBR-Kiwi is bang on. Strategy is absolutely coming into play, which I love seeing unfold. At one stage last nights first race I don't think anyone knew what was going to happen - probably the only guarantee was my spinning out 🤣 - but its things like that which keeps every week interesting. Fair play to Greebs taking the hit when he made a large error on Phil. Stuff like that happens and he did amazingly well to get back through the pack to still push Kiwi at the end. Everyone had a great race and it makes me continually wish I had more time to practice as its really enjoyable practicing and learning with everyone. Wish we could find more time for races again! P.S. And one day that grid is definitely going to be full! Good turn out again.

Here we go. New season is nearly upon. And a NEW 6 player experience! Alongside VoG Raid 😎 Season starts from May 11th and ends August 24th Hopefully with people returning and new players wanting to have a go on Vault of Glass, the extra 6 player activity is just coming at the right time!

@techno , you are looking at this thread now aren't you? Just seems like its worth you clicking to at least add them to your library so you can download whenever you fancy trying them out on your new PC 👍

Has that been 100% confirmed though? I didn't expect them to exclude PS4, Xbox One people, especially with the lack of next gen systems about. Yeah i'm hoping to hear more soon. Weirdly, i'd like us to be hyped for something new of late. Miss the buzz (well, not all the time 😄) of info being leaked ahead of the next big game

THE news we've been hoping for, and i thought it was lost to Microsoft after previous rumblings about a possible deal. I think Sony have absolutely pulled off a huge deal here. Discord is ridiculously powerful - to the extent that we use it here intergrated with the home of FG. I've always seen it as the instant chat version of what gamers are more likely to use as its so easy and you can hook a ton of other things to it. Very surprised to see Sony pull this off but finally we get to look forward to better party systems that should include the infamous LFG options that massively open up social games even more. Keeping a close eye on this one for sure!

It takes a lot of effort and upkeep to ensure everything is ticking over and I'd like to think we've all done our best of this covid period together at FG. As we come out the other end I'd like to think/hope we can continue the good deeds we've done with keeping us all active and having opportunities to get together to have laughs and help each other. I'd like to welcome Chad @Riff Machine as a Moderator to FG. He's also an admin on the FG Discord as he's stepped up to help out where possible around FG after being a part of the furniture for quite a while now - and it's perfect timing to as he's also just past his 1 whole year of sobriety, so I think doubly-thanks appreciation posts are welcome! Well done mate! 🤘 I'd also like to welcome La @RenFengge as an Admin to FG. She's already been around pretty much everywhere and anywhere all over FG if you've seen any bit of here. From organising Destiny raids, welcoming new people in their own PPRs, posting invaluable stuff, and an all round decent person. This will give me certainly a huge help, like she already has been doing - La is busy behind the scenes helping me fix our merch supplier issues, and trying to help secure places/activities for more physical meet ups too. Its been a real joy to have you here, La (and you too, Carl! 🤣) Both Chad and La are also over the Atlantic if you hadn't worked that out already so hopefully this will also help whilst the European lot are asleep. Don't ever think we haven't stopped reaching out to our old family and friends to bring them back into the fold and get their lazy ass thumbs up and running again - and new FGers too 😄 Exciting times ahead, with some updates and lots of fun in store for the rest of the whole year but for now I hope you all can get behind my words as I'm sure you'd want to wish them yourselves a warm welcome and congrats to their changes. Don't forget, we're not FG without Chad, La and all of you lovely people. GGFG ❤️
