It was really good fun to be honest , even though I only know you all from here it feels great to race someone you have even a slight connection with instead of some random that wants to use you as a brake
Oh I'll have the leaderboards up tomorrow as well as a video of the first race - trialling a few things with my Elgato and camera setup so you'll get to see me working wonders with my DS4.
I would have to disagree on that pointI think you should do a video of the 2nd race instead...was much better
For those interested, here is my YouTube video of the Main Event last night
That's when we attempted the reverse grid but some of the guys at the front shot off and us at the back were left behind
@Soundmangt4 - in @paulyoung666's video at 7:15 you'll see the ghosting I was referring to, it kept ghosting you for the corners which is what threw me off and resulted in the nudge at 7:45

FWIW I used to have random disconnects with my T150 and PS4. I blamed it on the game/wheel for quite some time until I used the same USB extension to charge a controller and it cut out when I put the controller down.
It was just a faulty connection on that lead in the plug
I appreciate you've tried different leads but if it happens when you stand up it must be a physical connection issue?
What happens if you jump up and down on the platform? Also, does it do the same thing if you wear a gimp suit or are naked?
I shouldn’t but this is
OT again, but a curious one for you Fanatec peeps.
As you may know I have a Playseat Evo bolted to a mobile plywood deck on castors with a Fanatec CSL bolted on to all of that. Works well enough for me.
I've been getting in to PC2 lately and it has this horrid bug that when the controller disconnects you have to quit the game at the dashboard and restart - about 3 mins of downtime and potentially a lost game.
Thus an old curiosity of my wheel disconnecting from my PS4 when I stand up is more of a problem In PC2 I have to stay seated through practice, qualification and the race otherwise my wheel disconnects and I have to quit and start the whole thing again.
100% repeatable. I can play for hours no problem but the second I get off my seat and place my feat on the floor a disconnect. Curiously if I stand up but stay on the platform (the plywood) I do not disconnect. (see photo there is room either side of seat to stand up without getting off the platform).
Any engineers/smart pants our there that can point me to this?
I have tried multiple drivers, multiple USB leads, multiple power sockets - but it remains 100% repeatable, if I get off the platform it disconnects and I have to hit the wheels PS button to reconnect to the PS4 (whether it on the dashboard or in PC2 or any other game).
At least with GTS the game doesn't hang completely on a disconnect.
As I said its very OT - but I wondered if anyone else had seen/heard of such.
To be clear I have never had a disconnect whilst just sat in the seat using the wheel, and if I stand on the floor and just reconnect then it happily stays connected for hours without me in the seat. If I get in from such a position it stays connected. Its only if I get off the platform
