Grear racing everyone, was very clean! :)
Unlucky bogani, it's a shame your wheel turned off in all the races, would've been very interesting to see how they would've turned out without that happening!
Well done to Apex on the race 3 win, made it slightly difficult for myself by making friend with the wall!

Yeah I had quite a solid lead in the last one with 4 laps to go when my wheel said hello once again :/

Can I use any bluetooth headset with the 360 or do I need a headset with special support?

For you, or any other Fanatec wheel owner, NEVER plug any type of wired headset (including headphones with a wired mic) into your wheel. A radio signal conflict or something causes the wheel, or the signal to the Xbox 360 to fail.

For Xbox 360, you have to use something that's licensed by Microsoft. The wireless "headset" (earpiece with the loop around your ear) does work well, especially if you're using a Fanatec wheel.

For online racing, I also use some Tritton headphones. I route the chat audio through the headphones along with the game audio (settings in the Xbox dashboard), and attach the wireless headset to the boom on the headphones. This works well because, first, the mic doesn't pick up any game audio, and second, the X360 mutes (or drops the volume) of the game audio when someone is speaking.

I run a fanatic wheel and turtle beach head phones xp500 they are wireless but you still have to plug into the wheel for the mic. every now and then my wheel will disconnect not often but still does it. also some times the breaks do not work when I first turn the wheel on. you would think they could get this shit right for the amount of $ they cost.

Yes it does, why do you ask?
Mon 17 Jun 2013, 22:58
Yeah the website has no way of knowing if a lap was clean or not, so it credits the fastest overall lap time, though we manually put in bonus points so the points totals are correct! :)

Sounds like Lanky is trying to get away with something here. Typical. lol

Results have been updated! Well done don for getting the clean sweep this weekend, 3 wins and 3 fastest laps!! You were astonishingly fast!

Well done everyone on avoiding the 2nd corner incident in race 3! That was some brilliant driving!

Unlucky Apex I just managed to keep my nose ahead overall! It was great racing with you for the season though(not that we saw much of each other!!)

That was probably the most exciting and intense race of the whole championship, with everybody doing laptimes that weren't too far off the pace of the leader. Got some great battles, and the car just felt great! Or maybe it's just that I spent the last week doing practise in R1 protos.

At some point during race 2 we entered the Maggots three abreast (I think it was Lanky and Apex); I was quite surprised that we all made it out of it without a scratch. Roughly the same thing happened on the same spot during race 3 with Schubee and Green. I'll try to upload a clip of both of those moments on YT as soon as I can.

Also, 'grats to Lanky for the championship, and to don for the impressive performance!

Sorry I didn't make the race. I expected to be out of town this weekend, so I didn't practice for the race. I got home last night, but I didn't get a chance to practice so it would have been a bad idea for me to be on the track. Congrats Lanky, and an amazing performance by don.

Great racing guys... Probably one of my favourite events so far... Very close and and very clean racing.
Well done Lanky on the championship and well done Apex and Green for the manufacturers win I also had some great battles with both of you this round

Congratulations to Lanky on winning the driver's championship; and to Apex and Green for picking up the team championship.

That was an excellent series, guys.Those cars just never fail to provide close and fun racing! The (near) major incident in turn 2 of the final race was simply amazing. I've gone back and had a look at the replay and saw some pretty slick moves from every single driver to avoid a massive shit show. A proud moment for GSR to be sure. Cheers, guys!
