Looks good to me. Sports mediums for the first two cars and sports soft for the last two.

I may be on later this afternoon, maybe around 3pm EDT (in about 6 hours). <--- @tezgm99 and anyone else

 

[Jayc2k]

[88GTA]

@tezgm99
Downloading update now while I have errands to run. I have a little grinding to do after to buy some cars but I will post here when I have a room up for practice.

@Racerdude890 and @Jayc2k
Send me (Koszak27) and Joe (Ice_Warden) a PSN friend request before Tuesday please.

Practice room up:

1472-6118-3916-1739-4000

 

[IceWarden]

I always hate picking cars for split PP nights. There are only a handful of 4wd cars that perform like I want. The higher PP range for Tues has none that I like. And picking one that I like for the lower PP range cripples my choice of FF car.

So I'm screwed by all the 4wd cars I hate. Soooo frustrating. Tested for about 35mins last night and made zero progress.

Yeah, The 4wd car i have isn't performing well either

 

[Schmiggz]

Another beauty of this competition... The massive need of doing good with a crappy car

 

[kendawg]

Doing some testing.
FF - whiskey
4WD - all fours
MR - doggie
FR - my girl

@jobyone
I'll be going through my garage today and listing any discrepancies with the spreadsheet.

Here's one I saw yesterday - Honda NSX '01 is 457pp

@danfurey
Where you been bud?

 

[Racerdude890]

Hey @88GTA are you gonna have a room up today? I wanna get some more practice in.

Possibly. I'm at work now but if I have one up later I'll post up.

 

[Racerdude890]

Ok. I will keep checking. I'm gonna make a room myself then just to get the feel for the track some more.

sorry im replying so late. lightning struck nearby and fried most of the electronics in my house. I just got my internet back up but am still facing costly damages

Dirt and snow are a no go as they are just not fun to race on when you are behind someone. The long tracks also tend to be avoided although we have never said they can not be chosen. I think they would be better to have only as an occasional first track as i am not sure how fun it would be to run a 350pp car around the Nord

No real rush. Have fun choosing.

i love route 7 (partly because most dislike it) but i wont choose it given ur reason of possibly doing a slow pp on it

You are a better man than I. I have been wanting to choose that track for many months

 

[ERAUfan97]

really?

 

[jobyone]

really?

Yea but I would expect to get a bunch of flack about it. Not sure it would make for good racing but might make for a challenging night to win

 

[ERAUfan97]

but I just realized, it shouldnt really matter what I pick because it wouldn't be mandatory to race there, it has to be chosen so as long as we use fast cars there, we shouldn't hear complaining

 

[88GTA]

That is correct. Your track choice would be an option for racing, whereas the qualifying track choices are somewhere everyone has to do the first race.

 

[Racerdude890]

Finally! Today is the day! I hope all that testing pays off.
