Thanks W/D for the great pic!!!👍
Gentlemen,
Welcome to the legendary "CLEAN SPEC RACING" lobby. For you clean, fast racers that like spec racing, this is the lobby to run in. I typically host lobbies 3 or 4 times per week. My lobby is called "CLEAN SPEC RACING" in all caps. Race are run typically in the 6:30 PM-11:30 PM Eastern Standard Time range (East Coast United States.) High Quality Races on a good host connection. I run "spec" races, in the sense that I only use the "included" cars in the game so that everyone has a 100% equal playing field (no tuned cars), making it solely a driver's battle. I run everything from a CRZ on comfort hard tires to a NASCAR on Racing Super Softs and everything in between (big fan of the JGTC500 cars), with a new track (everything from Autumn Ring Mini to Nurburgring) every other race with 10 minute qualifying sessions before hand. If you are a CLEAN, FAST racer that wants pure spec races in a constantly changing environment of cars and tracks and great racecraft battles, you won't find a better lobby to do it in. If anyone is being a jerk, they will be booted immediately. Bring a laid back fun attitude and your A+ driving game!
The regulations that I always run in my lobbies are:
Specified Car (or in some cases 2 cars of equal performance)
Specified Tire
Grip Reduction Off Line - Real
Skid Recovery Force - NO
NO DRIVER AIDS/ASM/STEERING - (except for ABS)
FALSE START CHECK
Mechanical Damage - Low
PENALTY - Weak or Strong Depending on Situation, NEVER OFF
BOOST OFF
GRID ORDER - FASTEST FIRST
MY PSN ID is: Forcednduckshn
I am located in Northeast United States.
**ADDED 8/1/11:
Please purchase the following cars, do an oil change and car wash if you wish, and do NOTHING else to them- No Tuning, No Parts, No Adjustment to any Suspension, Transmission, Diff Settings etc- Everything DEFAULT We'll try to do some races with these bad boys for some added fun:**
Alfa 8C
Mazda Roadster RS 07
Ferrari 512BB
Honda NSX Type-R
Nissan 370Z Tuned GT Academy Version
Honda s2000
R34 GTR Spec NUR
R35 GTR (Godzilla)
R35 - GT ACADEMY VERSION
Fairlady Z (basically the US Nissan 370Z) from the new car dealership
Also, for those of you new guys, please click this link for some history on this lobby/spec racing through practice for the 2011 GT Academy. Some good info and will give you an idea of the type of racing we strive for:https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=180849 Cheers
ADDED 8/12/11 - SPEC 2.0 UPDATES!
So with the incorporation of Spec 2.0 come a few great things for this lobby. With the ability to restrict any tuning at all to the cars, we have now effectively opened up the entire 1000+ car inventory in to the game. What you are allowed to do for cars:
-OIL CHANGE
-CAR WASH
-ANY PAINT YOU WANT
That's it!!! Do not change the wheels. Though, I might allow wheel changes in the future since I believe it is not enforceable. This is TBD, but safe bet, just don't buy wheels in the interest of keeping it 100% spec. There is a subtle, but significant performance advantage in going to aftermarket wheels (the effect of a light wheel, less rotating mass etc.)
Additionally, the SPLIPSTREAM EFFECT will always be set to "Weak" This has already proved to result in some epic battles, yet allows faster drivers that are quicker to actually build a gap on pace when slower drivers are following. This allows for a real 100% pace battle. It also puts an even higher importance on qualifying, so be sure to get out and lay down a hot lap early so that you can start out in front. I think the draft effect being weaker will only make this lobby that much more challenging to win in.
Also note, the physics in the game have changed slightly. Cars are now generally loser. This makes the AWD and FWD cars more enjoyable to drive in particular.
Starting OCTOBER 12TH LOBBY SIZE WILL BE TEMPORARILY REDUCED TO 10 PARTICIPANTS In the October 11th lobby, I encountered some major framerate issues and lag as the fixed host that really ruined things. I am trying to open up bandwith and make it better for me and the rest of the drivers. So get in early!!
Thanks,
FI
