A Blessing on Four Wheels, to be sure. Thank you will give IT a go right after work. PS+ said I couldn't download anything until after 5pm CDT. Soooooo, have all fingers, toes, eyes and tongue crossed that it works. I would sure hate to start GT-6 all over again ..... and this time without my "bankroll in the garage".

"The reason for this is that the clutch is not available to to all drivers (DFGT, DS3, etc.) and it's not possible to determine whether or not a clutch could provide an unfair advantage without testing all devices side by side. Previous GT5 releases have had an advantage when the clutch was used.
In order to keep everyone on the same level the use of a clutch in any / all WRS events is banned."
The advantage was on GT5 : P where you didn't need to reduce any throttle input on upshifts, thus much faster shifts.

So it allowed for powershifting when paddles/auto briefly lifted. I didn't know that... I don't think that works in GT6, does it?

Ok, one more question. This one concerning the cape ring. The red/blue tarmac with all the perpendicular white lines. Track? Not track? If I'm nearing a car fully on it should I expect it do a reentry concession? Especially the large 360° turn.

The clutch is sometimes just garbage in gt6. You can't touch the throttle on upshifts at all. It does give a far more realistic amount of engine breaking though.

Generally speaking, painted pavement beyond the white line is not part of the track. I will get to a full boundary report before the racing on Sunday. Hopefully, I can get this done at some point tomorrow.

Not much advantage with any particular line around the ring but to be safe, stick within the white lines. The penalty turn is going to likely be turn 16 where drivers either clip the chicane or run wide across the grass on exit into the pit lane. I don't want to see any drivers on the other side of the grassy knoll!

Sorry, I'll get this corrected when I get home. I'm not going to risk editing that post from my phone, although it's already pretty jacked up as it is..
While your in there, you can set the Integra at 484PP and 313HP and the Alfa at 507PP and 465HP. Why, oh why, would they not let us paint those gorgeous wheels? Since they won't, I will not be running my usual wheel color on the Alfa combo.
I'm not sure what the laps will be for the new combos, but I suspect 4 will be close enough. If that holds true, all 3 combos will be 6 minutes for the qualifying session.

Re: the integra
I've found that my times don't suffer much from some wheelspin as long as its not banging off the limiter. But, that's over the course of a single lap. On a 4 or 5 lap race of Ascari, if you're burning the tires enough you will suffer by lap 4 or 5.
As others have said though, its best to control the wheelspin as much as possible and not over-use the front tires with excess wheel input or throttle. Late apexes are key as you can't maintain rotation with a lot of throttle on a FWD car.
Another tip, don't coast off throttle. You'll actually rotate better with a tiny bit of throttle (5-10%) on the stock diff settings . Brake a little earlier if necessary, but get right on the throttle, just a tad, as soon as your done braking and you'll probably find better mid-corner balance. If you left foot brake you can start holding a tiny bit of throttle as you finish braking smoothing the transition. Also, move brake bias to the rear to help with corner entry rotation.
With this car at least, a lot of the same throttle control techniques that apply to MR or RR cars help. The consequences of a mistake are less severe though, so its a good tool to work on your go pedal technique

The USB approach worked perfectly. All data is transferred and I'm up and running.
Thank you for the time and suggestions.

@gmraces,
Thanks for your interest!
We would love to have you in the league. Here's what you need to know and do in order to join:
We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:
1. You take the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and Racecraft Test
2. You run the Time Trial and submit your information by 23:59 EST on Saturday night if you want to race this Sunday.
3. @JLBowler PM's you with your assigned Division that we feel will give you the closest competition. You will be added to the drivers list.
4. The Race Director or Primary Host from the corresponding SNAIL Division will send you a PSN friend request. Sunday night you will need to sort the online lobbies by friends and join the lobby named 'snailracing.org Division_(x) based off your Division placement from JLBowler. That lobby will be where you race Sunday.
5. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍
The original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.
To avoid duplication, the currently claimed combinations can be found here.
During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
