Fun time testing. I have a lot of work to do in figuring out how to keep up with you fast guys. I think I picked up on something practicing Rome, but I'm still quite a bit off overall.

 

[Lessen]

Been pounding out some more laps. Im down to 25.3s! Im beginning to realize how minute and precise the inputs need to be at ya'lls pace.

Hey guys. Major changes to karts with update 1.05!

It is now possible to select Karts in one make races held on weather enabled tracks.
Kart Adjustments Options Expanded
- [Traction Control] is now available to adjust in the [Driving Options]. [Skid Recovery Force] is also now available.
- [Brake Balance] is now available to adjust in [Machine Settings]. Only the rear can be adjusted in Normal Karts, while both the front and rear can be adjusted in Shifter Karts.

SRF? TC? On the shifter sure, but the others? What on earth would you need TC for?

 

[whatisthisis]

how do I go about participating? Sorry if I missed this info on the front page.. Also, does anyone have any videos of your races? I would love to check them out.

Awesome stuff 👍 Can't wait to get the Karts in action on the new tracks. I wonder if we can alter the transmission on the Karts in One Make races?

Seems a little odd, but we won't be using it

Step 1 done, let us know you want in 👍

Step 2 check the thread around 8:45 Tuesday Night for room number(s)

I think it was because a lot of people had trouble completing the career mode races at GT Arena with the karts.

Unfortunately no, but it's one step closer than where we were when the game came out. 👍

 

[Naptown25rs]

There has been a nice increase to the number of tracks available for karts in the online lobbies, it'll be nice to get back to some old favorites and all of the new additions.

But TC is the last thing you need on every kart but the shifter. They don't have enough HP to spin the the wheels

Anyway, more tracks 👍

 

[Lessen]

More tracks options is certainly cool.

I'll probably try to cram some practice in tonight if anybody wants to join me.

 

[stunstheone]

It is now!

 

[Lessen]

I have a feeling somebody will be picking that for next week.

I was also trying out Matterhorn short and it was a hoot in the shifter. A lap is about 22-23 seconds.

 

[kcheeb]

Nice!

I'm thinking because of not being able to tune the transmission, we'll have to restrict the tracks to those that don't max the revs out on the particular Kart. I see a bunch of testing in the near future

I'm lost... so we can prohibit trans tuning now? I noticed they've added the ability to copy a setup from one tab to another.

That won't be necessary, because we can use our personal karts!

Oh I thought it was from the One Make races, ie. recommended list

It's both. PD didn't document that our owned karts could too. I had to double check myself in a private lobby.

[Lessen]

All you ever wanted to know about "triples" and more.

 

[HSAXET]

We ran races last night. Full tuning. Just set room to karts as normal.

[Lessen]

Ahhh, gotcha. One if these days..

 

[TEX36]

If TC (traction control) is not allowed in SNAIL, why would we add it to SNAIL Karts?
Hope we are not moving toward Tuning in Karts ....... that would "tune me out" (pun intended).
