As I posted somewhere, I'm not sure I'll be online at 9pm GMT tonight. So results will perhaps be posted later but I can't decently leave you with nothing to run. So, race 33 is posted a few hours in advance.
And for a change, we'll drive a fast car on a fast track. But not to make it too easy, there will be 5 (dumb) AI drivers on the same track at the same time, trying to stay in you way. :D

14 cars for PAL racers who have the Esso Ultraflo Supra JGTC '01 (blue car on the picture). :)
But you have to consider the 500HP max rule too. It's not possible to reach exactly 500HP with all cars.


@FASJ : Do you realize that you're spoiling other racers from the pleasure to browse through the japanese cars, checking which of these damned JGTC cars were made in 2000 or 2001 ? ;)
 
ooops, no surprise then...

but they might get happy trying to figure out which one of them is the fastest 👍
 
Awesome looking race. 👍
Looks like a week for SupraMan!

I may get some laps in but I don't expect much since we aren't on the Ring. :P :lol:

Should be a nice chance to test out some of those JGTC cars though.
Maybe my blue Calsonic will come into play this week as well?

I doubt that though. :(
Has anyone else (who drives in 3rd person POV) noticed that the Skylines shift way early and the little "bar" on the bottom right of the screen gives us no chance of shifting properly unless we learn to shift from the sound of the engine?
No biggie, the only way I shift is by sound so I will manage... It's just the early shift points of the Skyline may take some getting used to. :D

Anyway, good luck everyone, this week will probably be a popular week so put your race-faces on, it's time to get started! :cheers:

Btw, did I mention that this is an excellent race pick?
flat-out, 👍

Finally I feel like there was a reason for all of my toil over getting every last JGTC car into my arcade mode. :dopey:

What's wrong dude!?

Go for it, this race is gonna be sweet! 👍
I'm sure it will have something for everyone (unless you don't like Motegi :( ).

In any case, I'm just running a few laps in the R-tune Skyline before I get into this week's race.
Once I've finished my R-tune runs it will be this race's time. :mischievous: :lol:

Btw, I think the Supras have the lightest weight of all the cars mentioned so it should be interesting to see if anything can beat them. :D
I'm hoping to see diverse results and in the end that may push me into using a car that other people just don't like. :lol:
 
Question: When it comes to the 500hp power limit..what's 'accurate', the HP displayed before the race starts, or what's displayed in the 'replay'....


Thx-
 
i would assume before, whenm you select the +/- X%

Nice combo...AI.....2 laps......Car choice.....What a week!!! Ill finally have to get used to this track, dont realy like it much. Fast cars though shold be ok. Cheers for the list 👍 I wonder if that extra car selection for PAL gives us an advantage, for my sake i hope so :D
 
I knew that this combo would drag you in Kent :sly:

To answer a question that was asked : the power that matters is the one displayed when you select the % in the settings screen. The replay can show a different figure (sometimes 501 hp, while the settings were at 500 hp only).

As for the weight, Supras and Skylines are lighter than the NSX's. But the NSX's are MR and not FR so they are better balanced which can be useful for cornering.

I don't think there is a killer car this week. At least none showed up during my test sessions. FYI, it was the Mobil 1 NSX which won the real JGTC race at Motegi in 2001.

I would certainly expect that the esso supra is eliminated from the competition just for that very reason! :D
 
Wooooo my first race. :D

Awesome, JGTC cars rule, and that rules for between '00 and '01 is a nice twist.
👍
 
Some info concerning next weeks :

Week 34 : will be run in GT Mode, and the car plus all required parts will cost you about 200,000 Cr.

Week 36 : see there.
 
Gonna Give this one a go like last week, but hopefully i won't have to spend ALL of monday night and most of tuesday in a bleeding hospital (pun partially intended) with a suicidal foster-kid next week. :banghead: :banghead:

So maybe I will get to submit a time next week!

Was SO knackered tonite that i completely forgot to submit my time for the last race! :crazy:

The real pity is that it was ok too! I wouldn't have been last in Div 2 anyway. :grumpy:

Thought I better get first in. But I hate posting first, I don't know how bad these are!

Lap 1:
T1 - 36.252
T2 - 1'00.410
T3 - 1'21.378

Lap 2:
T1 - 20.447
T2 - 52.817
T3 - 1'13.522

I'm using the Castrol Tom's Supra GT '00 , with Gears at 300.

This will be my car the whole event, I havn't tested any others, but I like the feel of this one.

Thanks for the clarification Flat-Out! 👍
 
I believe I will pick my car on the age old, flawless method of: Appearance.

It's all about looks, bahbay.
 
Hmmm heres my best effort from my first stint:

Lap 1:
T1 = 37.481
T2 = 1'03.769
T3 = 1'26.173

Lap 2:
T1 = 29.791
T2 = 55.071
T3 = 1'16.964

Car: Castrol Tom's Supra 00

You got that right. The Supra has the best colour scheme ever. That's the only reason why I choose it. Who wants an ugly NSX or a chubby Skyline?

Kolyana
All right Casio ... you have pole, baby!

Wooo! OK here's the deal everyone. No one post any more T-Times for the rest of the week. I'm sure Flat-Out was going to mention that in the rules but it slipped his mind. And Koly, if you wanted to change that '?' on the leaderboard for 'DS2', you can at any time.
 
Looks like I will try this after my little vacaction this weekend. Been running GT300 series in JGTC, but this will give me a little change of pace in class.

@Flat ~ at 9PM GMT, is not Toyko time 6AM? Word Timezones

Not like it really matters, cause I will submit before I go to bed Tuesday night.
 
Did I hear some trash talking? Or was I just dreaming? Nah, it couldn't have been from Nat could it? Wish I could say for sure if I am gonna put in the time. I'll let u know laters.
