Oh no, I got GTA. No worries. does this change weekly or does it run for a while with just the PP being adjusted still?

Runs the same with different PP totals each week. We save the crazy ideas for Thursday practice.

@jobyone
Vauxhall Calibra Super Touring Car '94 is 538pp with oil change.

And just for final clarification. First two races will always be race cars, second set will always be 1999 and older, and I can pick one of any three to go into any of which ever with one wild card car? Ok, got it. I think I'll take a plunge into the garage tonight and do some research, car choice I think might matter a bit more now. Do concepts get to count as either a street car or a race car? Never mind, I see that the second set is just cars, and not street specific. Cool

I'll be there tonight guys. I haven't had time to test a lineup yet though, so I may have to copy Joe

You almost got it. That wildcard thing was for a random Thursday idea and not for tonight. And the race car/street car thing is just tonight.

 

[jobyone]

Have fun tonight. Try not to make too much fun of @JoeW

 

[racefan78]

I was gonna give the DeLorean a shot, but it's listed as an '04? I thought it was an 80's thing.

You can run the deLorean. Just take the flux capacitor off

 

[Kgffy]

Edit copy Dan lineup, I got to stop waiting to last minute

 

[88GTA]

I tried picking different cars for racecars only but it's hard to get even pp, srry copy your line up 88

No problem. Show me what my lineup is capable of, haha.

 

[Kgffy]

That last race what a great finish nice move at the end tez, even I finished last picking Oval was my best chance at getting A gd finish, is every one going to replace a track for group a, b, and c, so we can update list on new thread.

 

[88GTA]

Everyone should pick one track and we can go from there.

1.14 update is now available. Installing now.

 

[jobyone]

Finally get some community features! Which brings up a thought I had. If you guys were going to partake in an event that was not specifically DTC what would it be?

Sorry you did not make it tonight. We would love to see you try again next week!

 

[jobyone]

Once I understand the community features I will start the DTC community. From the sound of it you can only start one and be a member of 8 so keep that in mind if you go create one.

An endurance series with multiple car classes.

I needed to be closer on the back stretch and I'd have gotten past both dan and ken as well on the high side

The Dino was good, but when the tyres dropped down to the 6 at the end, it made for some....very interesting turning ability

 

[Rallywagon]

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was going to be able to make it last night. The rig is a few days and a tip to the lumber yard away still. This will be the last wooden rig I build though. Come hell or high water I am getting a TIG for xmas!

I actually forgot we were racing ! Good times though!

 

[jobyone]

So I have crested the DTC club in GT6 and sent invites to those of you on my friend lists. @racefan78 @Rallywagon I do not have you on my friend list so could not send you invites. You should be able to find in in the GT6 community section or just send me a FR

 

[tezgm99]

I just found it on your profile and clicked join, joby. I also notice that Joe only wants to race with advanced drivers....no one here meets that criteria

 

[jobyone]

yea the rest of us are experts!

 

[88GTA]

Racing ideas for tonight?

 

[88GTA]

Tuesday's Results:
@Kgffy - 58
@kendawg - 58 (pole)
88GTA - 53
@JoeW - 52
@racefan78 - 49
@tezgm99 - 48
@danfurey - 48

@Kgffy gets to pick the PP or track and @kendawg gets sloppy seconds.

 

[Kgffy]

Ken got pole 1st race don't know if that makes a difference in points.

 

[IceWarden]

It was a tie but you had two race wins and Ken only had one.

 

[88GTA]

Yes you are right. Corrected now, thanks.

@jobyone
All cars from Tuesday entered into the spreadsheet.

I am getting ready for a trip back east so am out for tonight.

I was 50/50 to begin with due to working OT all week. Shall we skip this week and brainstorm for next Thursday?

Yes, I will likely miss tonight as well.

 

[jobyone]

Next week is Thanksgiving here in the USA. That being said I might be around. I was thinking about a multi-class Honda event.

We could qualify (15 minutes) in a Civic Type R. Then the top half grab an NSX and the bottom half grab a S2000. Two races of say 30 minutes each (set to 25 minute enduro) with the second being a reverse grid. All races on the same track. Maybe Tsukuba.

Or we could Qualify in an Element. Then top half grab S2000 and bottom half Civic Type R. For race two the top half grab NSX and bottom half S2000. That way we would run all four drivetrains.
