Diabolic doesn't own GT6


App and I took Cat and Mouse to the streets of LA. It seems smashing into the back of every prius you see in an effort to get them home first is frowned upon.

I was able to escape the human jail cell(cyborg skills)

Not certain about App.

if that is the only thing keeping you from joining us let me know and I should be able to help out

Was a rule ever established that we have to declare all of our cars before the start of racing? I ask because I am torn between two cars with different attributes.

 

[dylansan]

I was wondering something similar. Particularly, does it matter what order the cars are in on the sign up list? For the second pair I was thinking of deciding which car to use first based on which track gets chosen.

The order doesn't matter. When there is a split PP, you have to use the two from the right split but you can use either one first. When there isn't a split PP (which isn't very often anymore) you can use the four cars in any order you want based on the selected track. That's a big part of the strategy in this type of racing.

Yes. Joby has us enter a lineup in the spreadsheet or posted here prior to the first race.

You can use the cars in any order you want like Bowler said, but the split this week keeps it restricted between two cars for first and third race. The lower split will be the first two races this week.

The track list has been updated

Also you posted list does not have to be your final list although I do encourage that you post a lineup and try to use it. That is part of the strategy. If people know what cars people are using they can adjust there pics accordingly. I want this to be a series that uses strategy as well as driving talent.

Thanks, I'll post my line up when I get back from running some errands and will continue to go back and forth on the last car.

Yeah. I assume I'll be screwed by choosing a down force car and the race winner wants to go to Sarthe or some crap like that. Or pick a car with no down force and end up somewhere like Brands hatch or other high speed twisty track.

 

[dylansan]

Are we allowed to change downforce on cars that have it? I know it's tuning prohibited but apparently you can change it and still meet the regulations.

No. If you change any settings on a car in a tuning prohib room, it will not let you on the track. Try it...

The only thing I think it lets you change is brake balance.

 

[dylansan]

I tested it before and found that, although you couldn't change suspension settings, it was possible to change downforce settings. Maybe I'm crazy. I'll go try it again.

Edit: You're right. I must've had tuning allowed by mistake while testing.

 

[88GTA]

Or one of the two oval tracks... There is a 13.333% chance (2 out of 15) that we go to Daytona or Indy tonight.

 

[Schmiggz]

Your chances of getting a humiliating last place overall is basically gone because.............

Schmiggzilish is back on the grid... Wuaaahahahahh

I entered this lineup in the spreadsheet for you Schmiggzilish. It will be a pain to do later from my phone.

 

[racefan78]

Are you sure about the Camaro? Mine is 585 and I have the listed as verified. (mine could have been de-tuned but not sure why I would have done that) I will double check that one win I get home.

 

[dylansan]

Considering it's 594 PP in the dealership I suspect 602 is correct.
