Can I make a suggestion on doing normal tire wear instead of fast, it would even things out between down force cars and production cars, it would open the book on cars too pick instead of worry if this car gets gd tire wear or not, also I know it's harder to conserve tires using A controller/ maybe use tire wear on lower pp where it seems not to make a difference.

Due to probable pre server maintenance issues, we had some unfortunate disconnects in the middle of the third race which affected the outcome of the night greatly. I think we started the race with 7 and ended with 3.
Due to the shake ups @Kgffy ties @kendawg with 58pts but kgffy wins the night based on tiebreaker.
You guys decide PP and qualy track for next Tues

Man what a shame. I spent so much moolah on cars testing them in the higher PP range. I grinded Red Bulls for at least 7MDue to probable pre server maintenance issues, we had some unfortunate disconnects in the middle of the third race which affected the outcome of the night greatly. I think we started the race with 7 and ended with 3.

. Oh well I'll have them next time. @Kgffy I'm sorry I don't agree with changing he tire wear rate. It also takes away the advantage of using a non production car. That's the trade off one has to make when selecting a car. While the production cars are generally faster in top speed, they have the disadvantage of having more weight and faster tire wear. The production vs tuner or race car debate comes down to what disadvantages are you're willing to accept. If we change the environment, were making an unrealistic world where the weight and downforce of the car do not matter. We have the same playing field when selecting a car. If you like top speed and think that will win over someone that selects a car with better cornering, then go for it, and vice versa.

Ok I understand race car production car hav their pros and cons makes things interesting but I'm using a controller and I know that using a wheel does help someone be more smooth and get better tire wear, maybe high pp fast tire wear races are not for me them, I m buying 4k mountain bike so wheel for me won't be tell nxt year

buy a $3900 bike and use the $100 to buy a used logitech DFGT
If you have $4k to buy a bike then surely $100 on a wheel should not be an issue. I know we all have priorities but you do not have to spend much to get a wheel.This is meant to be a driving simulator. While I will not require anyone to have a wheel I am also not going to take away any advantage that a wheel has. Most of us who play this game do so because we love driving/racing so lets keep it as realistic as GT allows us while also making sure we have fun.

Sounds like something that could be tested.....I might pop online later today and run some laps around Motegi SS and see how the tyres fair for a DS3 and then a wheel in the same car (I'll even pick a street car instead of a racecar). I'll put up the results here
I'd do it now, but we're currently playing the Netherlands so I'll be yelling at my fellow Aussies for the next hour or so
Edit: @Kgffy did the DS3 first. Car used, Ferrari F430 '06. On fast wear, my right rear tyre dropped to a 5 around 27s into my 11th lap (lefts were both at 9, right front was a 7). Laptimes were around high 37's. For the DFGT, the same tyre was at a 5 around 16s into my 11th lap (9's for the lefts, a 7 for the right front, just like the DS3). However, my laptimes were faster (low 37's)....so I'd say I was doing better with the DS3 on tyres.
Edit 2: I think I tagged the wrong person first time around....my bad

Hey guys. I have heard rumors of small PP calculation changes so if you notice any changes in the known PP values let me know.
Also it sounds like cars may need to be reset to default (suspension in particular) even if you have not made any changes in order to get a car in a tuning prohibited room. I think this has to do with camber adjustments they have made in the physics model.

I'm doing payment Plan on bike so when it's payed off 100% , I'll looked into a wheel, but I want to get a gd 1 at first do it the right way, mt biking comes first gt6 comes second, I understand your take on it joyb well said, keep it the way u guys runs things, and I try to adjust , or I'll only run lower pp nights, I'll watch replays to see what other ppl tire wear is compared to me, to see if there's a big difference

I totally understand. I will say that the DFGT is a great wheel for the money. Many GT Academy finalists have or do use it. Yes the G27 is better and I would recommend it. Beyond that you are getting in to the point of diminishing returns for the money. But the joys of having a wheel should never be put on hold when you can get such a fine wheel for so little

you are of course wrong
It may have just been the game as well. I know for F1 2011 (which I have), I don't like the wheel, it just doesn't feel as good as it does for GT6, but apparently it had issues with calibrating wheels....I guess I'd have been able to offer a better review if they'd put in GT6 but hey, I could only make do with what they had

Due to the shake ups @Kgffy ties @kendawg with 58pts but kgffy wins the night. based on tiebreaker. I'll pick pp, and I'll post something by tonight
You guys decide PP and qualy track for next Tues
