≈ The DriveTrain Challenge - Come Join us Fridays for some relaxed racingOpen

[tezgm99]

I was on and only Joe was as well so I figured we'd abandoned it again. I tried that rally seasonal race in the Pug 206....it is rather tough. However, it may be me not having used the DFGT for over a month and therefore sucking rather than the car

 

[jobyone]

Sorry things have not been working for you guys this month. Lets hope that Post Superbowl things get back to normal. Or actually better than normal.

I have been really busy lately so have not even driven in GT6 in over a week. I did get to go for a real drive today with some friends (NSX, M4, 911GTS and Audi S3). My little Focus felt a bit out gunned. Luckily I am not a slow driver Slow car fast for the win! Hopefully the video of me slowly pulling away form the NSX (the only driver that could keep up with me) will be shared with me so I can post it.

Got an early start at work tomorrow so I won't be messing around on rally tracks in the club lounge tonight

My buddy is going to check out my PS3 laser this week and hopefully I'll be good for this Sunday. I'm not sure how much GT6 is as a digital download but if that is less than a new laser and install from him I may just go that route.

I'll keep you guys posted.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Looking forward to start racing with you guys

 

[jobyone]

Just a heads up. I know it has been quiet in the thread but a lot of discussion has been going on in the background. The DTC is about to go through its biggest shakeup in the nearly 2 years it has been running. We are all excited and hope to be sharing the details with you all soon.

 

[jobyone]

As part of the big shake up the Classic-DTC event will now be run at the end of the season of the new DTC Event. More details of that event will follow in the next few days but for now I wanted to let people know that the next Classic-DTC event will be:

The Classic-DTC
Next Race March 15th
(Event will take place in a Club Members only room)


03/22/2015 at 9:30 PM EST/ 6:30 pm PST


This event will run with a combined PP of:
1700 (SH)
All cars PP must be between 404 and 446

Qualifying and the first race will take place at
Silverstone GP


If you would like to participate in the next event please post in this thread that you would like to take part. I will add your name to the list. You can also add your name and car lineup to the.

sign up sheet
​

Here is how it works.

Each week a PP Limit is chosen. This weeks PP limit can be found above.

You must choose 4 cars that the total combined PP value does not exceed the limit for the event. Each car can only be used in one race. Additionally you must use 1 of each of the following drivetrains in your lineup:

FF- Front Engined/Front Wheel Drive
4WD - 4 Wheel Drive (any engine position)
FR - Front Engined/Rear Wheel Drive
MR/RR - Mid Engine(or Rear Engined)/Rear Wheel Drive

When Calculating the PP total the value is for a un-tuned, non power limited car with an oil change. This is what is referred to as the Known PP* value for the car. The list of Known PP values can be found by clicking on the car image above.

The Event
Qualifying and the first race take place at a track chosen by last weeks runner up. This weeks qualifying track can be found by clicking on the Calendar image above.

The next three races will take place at tracks chosen by the winner of the previous race. The winner can pick from the eligible track list that can be found by clicking on the track image above. Additionally the list is broken up in to three groups. Each group can only have one track chosen from it in a nights event.

DTC Eligible Tracks

Group A - Picked by @Kgffy
TBD
TBD
TBD
TBD

Group B - Picked by Season 1 Week 4 Winner

TBD

Group C - Picked by Season 1 Overall Winner

Each week a new track will be chosen to replace an existing track. The Groupings will then be adjusted using a complex formula that lives in my head.[/B]

Tire Restrictions:

Under 1600 PP Cap - Comfort Soft
1601-1750 PP Cap - Sports Hards
1751-1900 PP Cap - Sports Mediums
