◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[tezgm99]

Oh, I thought it got reversed again.....did I at least get the numbers right, lol

@kendawg We need a clarification. I do know the Track is Apricot Hill tho.

 

[88GTA]

Yea he said slower cars first on Tuesday night.

I think we are starting to see the upper and lower limits for the tires with this type of split. We will be running sport soft on some really fast (575pp average) and not that fast (425pp average) cars.

 

[IceWarden]

The lower cars should be on SH. 425 avg equals 1700 for tire determination. Which is SH on the list.

I think I screwed up last week...the slower cars should have been on SM tires according to the list

He did say slower cars first at Apricot.

 

[88GTA]

So...

First race and qualifying are at Apricot Hill with the 850 split. First two races are sports hard tires.

3rd and 4th race will be 1150pp split on sports softs.

Got it. I think I may change my avatar each week to coincide with one of my car choices. The IROC-Z is finally paintable and you can change those horrible wheels! I will likely need to run that this week as it slides in nicely to the first split.

 

[fastfox400]

I got my line up made. But I agree I think we will find the limit on sports soft tires this week.

 

[fastfox400]

Nevermind.. I see the error..

 

[88GTA]

Testing this vague line-up today:

IROC-Z 429pp
Type R 421pp

LP 700-4 591pp
GTS Concept 558pp

 

[fastfox400]

When do you wanna practice @88GTA

 

[tezgm99]

Indeed, I should be able to get in some practice as well if the time is good

 

[88GTA]

Just got online now guys. Fox I don't think we are PSN friends

 

[tezgm99]

Give me a few minutes to set the wheel up and stuff.

 

[88GTA]

Make a friends room. I'm about to gold the jaguar seasonal so I'll be in shortly

 

[88GTA]

@fastfox400
Tez has a friends room up

 

[jobyone]

Hey Guys. Just a quick reminder please do not sort the Known PP sheet. There is a sorted Known PP sheet that you can mess up. If you mess up the Known PP sheet I will be very sad

 

[88GTA]

I swear it wasn't me. I learned my lesson last time!

 

[fastfox400]

It was me it was a accident, then my computer died. I hit a wrong key seqeunce.

 

[IceWarden]

As Seinfeld might say...

"Newman!"

 

[fastfox400]

As Seinfeld might say...

"Newman!"

Oops!

 

[88GTA]

Sorry Tez had to help with dinner. I may be free around 4 again tomorrow for more testing. Thanks for the help

 

[kendawg]

Sorry for the delay.
It is 1150 and 850 with qualifying being the 850

 

[88GTA]

Test line-up for today:
TRD 416pp
France 434pp

MP4 581pp
SLS 563pp

 

[IceWarden]

Well I have a couple of scenario lineups written down. Both start with the '01 Acura Integra Type R. After that it gets fuzzy until I can test them on the track.

But choices include the Audi Rally car thing that Tez chose for me, the Audi R8 LMS dealio, RS200, RX-8 Type S, an HSV race car, an NSX Race car and something else. I'll probably find out half of them suck and change it on race day...

 

[88GTA]

The Audi rally cars are unfair. It's like cheating.

I think I will run one.

 

[IceWarden]

Good man. The problem is the average PP is 575pp and they are at the low end. Which means you are going to have to manhandle a near 600pp FR or MR car on SS tires which scares me a little.

 

[88GTA]

No risk no reward:

TRD 416pp
Franze 434pp

Audi S1 Rally '86 15th Anniversary 556pp
Tom's Supra '01 592pp

 

[IceWarden]

You're so money you don't even know it.

 

[88GTA]

Don't hate me Tez, this is for Joe.

 

[IceWarden]

Glad you got my reference

 

[88GTA]

I am going to have to check some cars when I get home. Almost every car between 610pp and 580pp on our spreadsheet is unconfirmed and likely not correct. Aren't the GT500 cars lower now than in GT5?

@fastfox400
Free to practice this afternoon with Tez and I? Around 4pm EST.
