Yup.. 16 is the limit.

So far the most we've ever had in 1 race was 13....

I'm setup with a PS3, GT5, a wheel, headset, etc. as of a couple of days ago. It has been a few years since I've done much gaming -- original xbox with Project Gotham 1 and 2 and then Forza.

One bad thing about being late to the PS3 world is that it took *forever* to find a gamertag that wasn't already taken! I must have tried 20 or 30 -- ended up with acc1p1ter.

Will try to get a bit of seat time in the next few days. See you online soon.

Paul

I'm also setup with a PS3, GT5, and my old momo wheel as of a couple of weeks ago.

However unlike Paul I have no gaming experience at all except for all the quarters I put in the "Hard Driv'n" arcade game:<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/g6JC-HCNcio" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

It had a Solo II course that I always ran before Regional events to bone up on my skills. I remember waiting my turn to use the machine amongst all the hardcore gaming kids at the time ...jump in the seat, set fastest time for the month on the road course and then walk away with a bunch of open mouth stares from everybody 8) ...I even tried to buy the game from the arcade when they closed but they wouldn't sell it to me :cry:


Anyway Linda didn't throw my half done simulator

out of the house Christmas morn so I may just be able to get good enough to join you all in the new year :roll:

BTW where do you find a Ruf 911 on GT5 and I'll see if I can do the photoshot thingy...

Stacy (id=tippoweego)

But unlike AMP I can practice up first before making a debut (unlike 2 years of chasing a major bump steer issue followed up by trying to make a 2700lb 200hp car break a 1:20)

Stacy

Yes you can practice Stacy...but you can still race with us...the guys that race are more then willing to help you out with set up issues as they want to have close racing whenever possible.

...."can Stacy come out to play?"....

I just started racing a few tournaments ago, and it was great, sure I don't really run up at the front as much as I would like, but it's all great fun, plus you haven't sim raced until you've done it with Kevin's commentary!!!
