That may be correct for your car. However for the PP cap we are using the maximum the car can have without tuning. This is to make sure we are all on a level playing field as far as which cars we can use. So whenever choosing a car always account for the maximum PP not your actual PP. If you need a low mileage broken in car just let us know. I am sure someone will have one they can send you.

Known PP list from my garage:

Nick thanks for the list that brings us to 495

 

[jobyone]

I would like to give everyone a quick update follow up from Saturdays Race.

Since Racefan won he gets to choose the PP level for the next event. You can keep it the same or take it +/- 25pts

We will be qualifying at Daytona.

Now unfortunately we will not be running this Saturday. There are a few logistical things that need to be ironed out before we can race again on Saturday. Hopefully we can figure it out quickly and as soon as that happens I will post about the schedule.

This will have no effect on the Monday schedule so if you can try to make that event I want to see a 6 way tie for 1st

Anyone got a broken in PP for the Lancia Delta Integrale? I'm thinking of using it instead of the Celica but mine has 40 miles on it so it's not fully done yet.

408. But if your PP limit allows go for the Audi S3 at 412

 

[Schmiggz]

ok, i'll just keep the same set up as last saturday

 

[88GTA]

Boo to no Saturday racing. I'll try to be ready for next Monday then...

 

[Chiochan]

Do we have a pp value for the Turbo 5 1980?

 

[jobyone]

do we have a pp value for the turbo 5 1980?

395

 

[Chiochan]

Sweet, that's what I thought. New line up.

TRD Celica sport M 416 pp

MX 5 J limited II '93 368 pp

Turbo 5 1980 395 pp

Ram 150 Hemi 416 pp

Total 1595 pp

Wish I had more FR's around 370-380 pp not from 1960-1970

 

[racefan78]

When you say I get to choose the PP for the next event, you mean the next saturday right? Not tonight? Anyway, I'll choose to lower the PP by 25, just to see what happens

And now for my lineup for tonight assuming the PP is still 1600:

I'm keeping the Dome, but changing the other 3 cars to:

FR - BMW 2002 Turbo '73 (394)
FF - Mazda 323F '93 (378)
4WD - Nissan Stagea 260RS AutechVersion '98 (423)

Total: 1600

 

[diabolicwyvern]

In reference to the Lancia Delta Intergrale

408. But if your PP limit allows go for the Audi S3 at 412

Agreed. Although you could have said most any 4wd car near the Intergrale's level and I'd say go for it.
Audi Quattro, VW RSi, AIRTREK Turbo, any of the low end 3000GT or GTOs....

Yes your choice will apply to the next Saturday race. I have more info about that but will probably wait till tomorrow. Also I think we have the PP of the Nissan at 425

Also could someone who races tonight save the replays. I would like to get the data from them if possible.

I do not have that Audi so that could be a problem, lol

 

[diabolicwyvern]

My Dome just finished a B-spec enduro. After oil change, it now has 409pp at 182.3 miles. I am now 3 pts over. I'm going to have to sub out the Silvia for an older model.

EDIT: Well the '93 is actually at 378pp so that still would put me 1pp over. I am going to switch my FR car to BMW 120i '04 (375pp @ 9,771 miles)

My total should be 1598 now

Thanks for the PP on the Dome.

I have had my eye on that 120i and will be curious how it does. I can confirm the PP for the 120i is 375.

 

[tezgm99]

Ok, I don't see anyone else using it so I'll switch the Celica to the '00 Audi TT Coupe 1.8T Quattro at 412PP.

 

[Apmaddock]

I do believe I'll be racing tonight, but I surely won't have a lineup until very near to game time.

…finally…

 

[Nicktune]

Monday lineup:

Mirage cyborg (392)
renault 5 turbo (395)
KPGC10 (379)
celica gt-four st205 (430)

1596

 

[Chiochan]

Turbo 5 is getting some love. I felt like challenging myself tonight, so it seemed like a natural fit. Not to happy with the MX 5, but I had limited choices for my FR's.

I generally save all race replays obsessively because I like to watch replays (often with breakfast or lunch). I'm not really sure how to save them to send over the internet though.

I'm glad to see people picking things like the vintage BMW and the Renault with the independently turning wheels.
My spouse was making me paranoid with his critique of my car selection.
Truth is, I just kind of went into my garage & hoped for the best to pick cars I actually know I like driving at least, so I don't make an inappropriate spectacle of myself with drivers I've never raced w/ before.

For example, I positively hate almost all 4wds in the game.
Which is ironic, because I drive a Celica in real life now... and do miss my old awd Subaru which had such a fantastic turning radius for parallel parking. ha (also, my celica DOES get stuck in the corners too!)

Anyway, also, I was going to mention, in case this isn't known, I see that the sign-up is allowed for up to 16. I found out awhile back (the hard way by allowing 16 sign-ups ) that you can't have any more than 15 in a private lounge - because one spot is always saved for the owner of the lounge - in a club case, it would be the club acct that the spot is saved for.
I didn't see anything about this changing, did it?

Don't Worry Nicktune is here so you should feel comfortable

I adjusted the sign up. Thanks for the heads up.

It looks like there should be 12 of you guys tonight. I will be stuck on my way home when you start. I might try to watch your last race.

Have Fun and keep it clean

 

[watermelon punch]

@ jobyone oh drat! Here I was thinking you were just holding out your car selection until the last moment.

Don't Worry Nicktune is here so you should feel comfortable

Yes, nobody pick the nurb!


EDIT: Scratch that, I didn't realize what I was saying.
As it could involve racing at Daytona Road Course instead, and I really really stink there. I'd rather just take my chances at the Nurb.

 

[racefan78]

Alright, i'll trade out the 323 for something to make up for the increase in the Dome and the Nissan

 

[tezgm99]

I'm saving the replays just to see how many times the Renault Turbos get sideways

 

[racefan78]

Alright guys, I've replaced my Mazda 323 with a Golf I GTI. It's not broken in, but it should be low enough to give me some breathing room. Ugh, my lineup tonight is awful, hahaha

Edit: On second though, scratch that. Here's my revised, revised lineup

Dome (405)
Stagea (425)
323F (378)
Lancer EX 1800GSR (384)

 

[IceWarden]

Gonna change mine a tad just for fun...

CRX SiR 390
RX7 GTX 413
205T 414
MRS V 385

 

[watermelon punch]

You'll have to watch very closely to make that count. Get out a calculator.

That said, last year I saw Nictune win a shuffle race at the Nurb with ratio at 3, in that crazy Renault!!
(Yes, I was kind of miffed, so I remember it. )

 

[diabolicwyvern]

on my way

 

[tezgm99]

Well at least it was nice and waited until I finished that race before booting me out

 

[watermelon punch]

Grreat races. I certainly was never lonely on the track.
I'd really just hoped though that we wouldn't go to Spa, because frankly I don't know that track at all. Sorry.
It's just that the kinds of cars I usually race, you wouldn't put on a track like Spa or Daytona Road Course, so they're unfamiliar to me.
Before retiring, my husband took a look at me taking my Barchetta out & shook his head, said I'd be sooo lonely. As it turned out, that was possibly the most exciting race of the night for me. For a low power FF car, the Barchetta does well getting out of the corners, not bad for what it is. Plus it's a cabriolet. ) And seemed to do better on tire wear than Chiochan's roadster toward the end, and it seemed I was getting a bit more torque earlier at the corners. ^^

Here's more for the database:

Known PP List

All cars taken to GTAuto for an oil change / engine check 👍
If I don't specify UCD/OCD - it means I don't know (or it doesn't matter)

Audi A2 - 580miles - 309pp
Spoon Integra 99 - 1350mies - 422pp
Toyota Yaris U Euro Sp (J) '00 - 241miles - 335pp

Suzuki Alto Works Sp. 97 - 0miles / OCD - 333pp
100% sure this is OCD - just purchased it today.

Mitsubishi Galant '70 - 37miles / OCD - 282pp
90% sure this is OCD - I ran it in a couple of 1-make practice races and it didn't gain PP - my only ? is - does practice area 1-make races break-in engines? I think they do, but I'm not sure.

Fiat Panda '90 - 118miles / OCD - 282pp
100% sure this is OCD car
It arrived in the OCD on May 9th

And by May 12th I'd scheduled a race with it.

Interesting fact about the Panda:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=7096209#post7096209

That would be Giorgetto Giugiaro, the man who came up with the Panda also stylized the Delorean, Lotus Espirit S1, Ferrari 250GT Bertone, Chevy Aveo, and the Hyundai Pony.
