    Update: 

    Even though the PC version is now on TNT I'ma still be doing this in 2 and a half hours if any of you want in. Add my GFWL: AlexW00d (zeros not os, like on here) We'll have some rally fun. 
     
    As we all know, this week's TNT is Dirt 3, but unfortunately/annoyingly the PC version is being ignored. I am proposing that we have our own little race-night to make up for it. It'll be a one off as I believe there is already talks of weekly racenights elsewhere on the site.

    What do you think guys? How many of you would be up for this? What time?
    I'm thinking around 7-8pm GMT so us non Americans have a chance to play a decent amount as I assume most of us have work the next morning.
    Obviously this will only work if there is a nice amount of people so what do you all think? Is there even a decent amount of people buying this for PC?

    Also I'm not sure how hosting works so someone may have to explain.

    I'm getting it but I'm not sure if I'm going to be away on thursday night. Why is the PC version getting ignored? That's the best version!

    I dunno they always seem to ignore PC, apart from exclusives. And the game is definitely going to be the best on PC...

    I bought Dirt 3 for PC. I have to admit though I suck at the game.

    I'm half hoping it gets unlocked at midnight so I can play it now, and half hoping it doesn't so I can go to bed and sleep for work tomorrow. Hmmm.

    I did propose a race night but failed to ask for a PC specific one and thus a 360 race night is on the cards for them, some regular PC gamers should get to gether for this one, im still working my way through the free copy of DiRT 2 atm.

    @RhombusOfTerror well if you're up for a regular thing I am sure something can be worked out if enough people want to. I think 8 is the max per race isn't it? So theoretically that's all we need.

    If it's still gonna be at 7pm GMT, I'm up for a PC version of Dirt 3. I fucking loved Dirt 2 and i'm really enjoying D3 so far. The drift challenges are surprisingly fun! Junglistgamer on XBL/GFWL

    @AlexW00d: yeah i actually think, in all TNT games, they should have all three systems playing at the same time, three different staff members playing each system, swapping out with other staff members...the way they do it, they have a lot of dead air as they create invites, or switch between systems. 
    Better to have a check in between all the systems so a larger pool of people get to play with the GB crew, within the two hours, and they can throw to the other systems as they have dead air (loading screens, invites,etc).

    On second thought wouldn't it just be the same?  They'd log in on the computer from their TNT Id and then later (or before) on the 360 on that same id?

    @AlexW00d: I believe what they do is play on one system then play on the other, and take a break imbetween.  But I'm not sure.  AT the beginning of the dirt2 thing they talk about how you can't see in your friends list who is GFWL and who is Xbox when you invite people to the game.

    Ok so yes they are playing this on TNT tonight, and I will probably stay awake and try and get in a couple of games, but I'm still going to be online around 7pm to play with y'all. If any of you are online then I will drop you an invite and we'll all play. If not I'll be sat in a lobby all on my own for a couple of hours :D

    Great. One person showed for this. Bit of a failure, in future I'll refrain from attempting to organise these things and just join other people's. 
     
    Thank you @RhombusOfTerror for showing up. Sorry for giving up already.

    @AlexW00d: it takes time. Setting up a regular thing will encourage other players to this, some players might have other commitments. Gymkhana in cockpit view is certainly a new experience, never drove in that view before.

    Oh dear did I force cockpit view then? I thought I disabled that option lol. I always play in HUDless cockpit mode so I was used to it.

    I was genuinely looking forward to playing with some GB community members but I've not seen a particular friend of mine for a while and he was visiting for just a few days. RL beats GB but in future I'd definitely be up for some PC Dirt 3.
