Everyone stay away from my spot on the leaderboard! (No one wants last place anyway :-P ) I'm outta here for the night.

I have an idea maybe a Thursday event, pick 4 cars with different drivetrain and those are only 4 cars u can use but u can use in any order, example Honda S2000 423pp fr/ Honda intergra type r'04 Ff 419pp/ vauxhall vx220 turbo 423pp mr/ vw golf lv r32'03 423pp 4wd, I think trying something like this would create close racing, strandgy would be when to use car.

I've been wanting to try this for a while now. I'm not sure if I can race tonight but I would be down for a set lineup. The only change I would make is to make all the cars premium so we could change numbers.

Like this:
FF - Honda Integra Type R (DC5) '04 426pp
4WD - Audi TT Coupe 3.2 Quattro 440pp
FR - Honda S2000 '06 430pp
MR - Lotus Elise '96 416pp

Just finished with the TT, my only good lap was the one that I didn't get to finish , was going to finish with a 2'05.xxx, I was heading down the home stretch when the timer ran out.

It is hard when you only have 20 minutes to make it work. Plus the Comfort Soft tires take away a lot of grip Thanks for taking part.

Yeah they do, but they actually feel pretty good, as for participating, glad I could run it

 

[88GTA]

I've been itching all day to try the time trial. Work can't end soon enough...

So with under 5 minutes left the room imploded and I was disconnected from the server. My best lap was a 2:05.1xx but it isn't recorded. Do I have to try it again?

 

[WhiterunGuard]

I've decided on the G27 instead, GT7 won't be out for a long time + the t300 has some problems going on and the G27 is way cheaper, any advice on the setup and what to mount it to?

 

[Kgffy]

I did time trial but it does not show results, shows 3 results but says 5 partipants

 

[Kgffy]

Also I'll pick q track again for nxt Tuesday

@88GTA I thought of you while watching this. These guys are lucky mother****ers.

Week 2 of the DTC TT has been chosen. I will setup the event later tonight and it will go live at midnight. This is open to any member of the club. If you are not a member of the club the id is 1005073. It will be a Time Trial event. This weeks event will be with the:

DTC Time Trial
Week 2
Maserati Gran Turismo S '08
@
Monza '80s​

The car will of course be stock (PP - 496, HP - 461, Weight - 1780kg) and will run on Comfort Soft tires. The event will run from Wednesday - Tuesday. I want to keep this short and sweet so would like people to accept the gentleman's agreement that they will only spend 20 minutes on the time trial with no practice. This combo was chosen by @88GTA.

Current Standings:

1. Tezgm99 - 2:04.437
2. Jobyone - 2:05.757
3. SirDerp175 - 2:07.935
4. danfurey - 2:08.208

To run the event you need to do the following:
1. Go to the community section and go to the DTC Club (Club id: 1005073)
2. Go to the events and click on the current Time Trial
3. Create a room from the Time Trial event. This will create a room with all the correct settings and restrictions
4. Once in the room start the Race (Time Trial). This will give you 20 minutes to set your time
5. Once the event is done save your replay. Your results will automatically be posted to the event comments.

Yea you need to run it so it records the time. Just make sure you do it slower

 

[88GTA]

Yea I'm a member on thirdgen.org and I remember all about the story with that car. So awesome.

I'll run it again after work today. It may be hard enough just running that time again.

Also I'll pick q track again for nxt Tuesday

Thanks for your pick.

@jobyone
Are we sticking with @tezgm99 as 2nd place for Tuesday or do you have a different way to break the tie between him and @kendawg?

 

[kendawg]

Tez can pick. I'll settle for nasty 3rds.

 

[88GTA]

Tez can pick. I'll settle for nasty 3rds.

How about @tezgm99 picks the PP total/split and you pick car restrictions?

 

[tezgm99]

Let's try a 920/1080 split.

 

[kendawg]

No concepts or rally cars.

@Kgffy
You're up for the qualifying track.

@tezgm99
I'm assuming 920 is first split or it doesn't matter?

If the 1080 was meant to be first, I'd have written it that way.

Not sure if I like your tone

 

[tezgm99]

If it's my singing tone you mean, I agree with you

 

[Kgffy]

Holy cow.
You are living the California life.

@jobyone
Spreadsheet updated, can you update the scoring tab? I'll make a few lineups later today for the splits. I believe @Schmiggz and @WhiterunGuard have tracks to change for Tuesday.

Just making sure you were getting what you intended. 👍

As for the TT at Monza, I managed a 2:03.865 but I am going to withdraw my time because I had almost two full sessions to attempt it. You can count my 2:05.1XX from my first try if you think that is fair but I'll just consider having mechanical issues preventing me from finishing on the board.

Why? Did he grab the surfing board after work?

I have three that are preferred, you guys can decide which one to use (I don't care which.) Nurb 24h layout, Le Sarthe (newest layout, 2013 I think) or Zahara to replace the Speedway, am I doing this right?
