◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[IceWarden]

Not this week broseph. Sorry.

What caused all your issues?

Who the hell knows. I wiped the PS3 clean and still no worky. Worked on my router, on phone with Sony a few times, Verizon a few times and still nothing. Started looking for used PS3s...then turned it on yesterday evening and it worked fine for no reason whatsoever. Spent last night and today re-installing/downloading everything.

All that pain in the ass and it was probably just a PSN issue I could have just waited 24hrs and it would have worked fine.

 

[jobyone]

So I might be online tomorrow afternoon my time 3:00-6:00pm so 6-9 Eastern. Will anyone be around?

Unfortunately I tend to be getting offline around 6pm EST when the wife gets home from work. That's when I have to go back to pretending to be an adult.

 

[Schmiggz]

I will replace Laguna Seca for Cape Ring Periphery.

Ken Can you set a lap time at Schmiggz track of choice please?

 

[jobyone]

Hey guys. I mentioned that I was thinking of getting some lineups that could be used for some Spec type DTC intro nights. Below are my three lineups. If you would like to feel free to make some lineup suggestions. If you are up for it use either 1600, 1800 or 2000 (or all three). Once we get a few to choose from I will make a lineup list. Also if you see any crap cars in my list let me know.

Thanks guys.

Please pick your car group choices for this Thursday by tomorrow morning so I can get everything set-up.

@tezgm99 has chosen a Concept car class using the following cars:

My choice for this Thursday is British MR cars:

@88GTA
I would like to go with the rally car group again. The one we ran before.

 

[jobyone]

New track groupings have been posted.

- edit -

I also added some lap counts. This is a roughly 18 minute race that leaves a finish time of about 20 minutes. This is for a 450pp car so if running 500pp you might want to add a lap and in a 400pp car subtract a lap. I can adjust this to be a full 20 minute race if you think that is better.

Or we can just start using the enduro setting and set it to 20 minutes but I think that will make the total time a bit more than 20 minutes.

I call dibs on the Bentley Speed 8, I know you conveniently left it off your list

 

[kendawg]

We could just set the time to 18 instead of 20.

I think it is in 5 minute increments

Thanks. This will come in handy.

No more smart ass comments until you race Tuesdays again.

@danfurey
Your line-up on the spreadsheet has two FFs.

I fear we may be interrupted tonight by an update if the alleged Senna DLC is not available before 10pm EST...

Edit: It is allegedly coming Friday now? I"m so confused.

 

[Schmiggz]

@jobyone :

Lexus IS200 GT-1 '04 has 471pp and not 489 as listed.
My line up is entered.

I fixed that for him in the spreadsheet.

1850= sm tires (:

 

[jobyone]

Speaking of tires. Are people happy with the grip levels for the PPs. I feel GT 6 tires have more grip.

I wouldn't be sad if we dropped them all one level, but where they are isn't too crazy.

 

[IceWarden]

Maybe throw CS tires on when we go below 1550pp.

 

[Kgffy]

I think gt6 Tires do feel more gripier, cs at lower pp would be cool, maybe change pp spread too, jst example what I do when I host Rms under 425 cs under 475 sh under 525 sm. Jst an example nothing for anyone tO take to serious.

Racing tonight. Details are a few posts up.

Did you ever pick a qualifying track for Thursday? I don't think I asked you so please pick one. Thanks.

 

[Michelin]

Got a test tomorrow, just next week.

 

[IceWarden]

I wouldn't mind leaving them "mostly" as is. Some cars behave very badly depending on the tires. The Clio MR car for example...great car at 434pp. Barely controllable on SH, probably a nightmare on CS. Fun and challenging on SM.

Then some cars are pretty easy no matter what tires they are on. Most of the Z cars are like this...and the GT86 twins.

I dunno...up to the bosses. If we change it up, I'd like to throw in CS tires near the low end of the scale...the Element and Storia on SH is kinda ridiculous Maybe move the slider a little bit but not too crazy.

 

[Schmiggz]

Elises with grip are a nightmare, specially in the front.
