Probably.

 

[Nicktune]

We haven't been to Rome in a long time.

Rome/Reverse.

 

[tezgm99]

I may not be able to race tomorrow night.

 

[jobyone]

I will try to update the lineup in a it. Sorry I have been slow on that this week.

 

[jobyone]

PP is going to be a split for nxt Tuesday, qualifying split will be 1150 racecars only/ second split is 820pp no restriction on cars

Do you guys feel we need to limit the first part to only racecars? The idea of limiting was to remove the cars that are likely to be dominate. I am not sure we need to say racecars only but happy to here peoples thoughts/opinions

I'm fine with it for this PP range (575 average). It eliminates the ZZ-II and a few other overdog street cars and guarantees that we are all in cars with downforce.

1sr split Yeah picked race cars only to try something different, been with dtc for several months and was trying to be creative, doing similar pp ranges for a while can get boring.

 

[88GTA]

I may not be able to race tomorrow night.

I'd like an update on this. And don't say no.

This will likely stick for my lineup tonight because I have to work late today:
FR - HSV Base Model '12 580pp
4WD - R32 GT-R TC 568pp
FF - Clio RS '11 410pp
MR - Speedster '00 410pp

 

[GTP_Vertigo]

4wd- Audi S1 Group B
FF- Renault Sport Clio R.S.

Sounds good. Please send a PSN friend request to Koszak27 and Ice_Warden to get in the room tonight.

 

[GTP_Vertigo]

I will as soon as I get home.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I added you both to the drivers list so you should be able to choose your name in the signup sheet. Have fun tonight guys. I hope you enjoy it.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Wait, race cars are allowed?

 

[GTP_Vertigo]

Yep for the first 2 races.

 

[jobyone]

Wait, race cars are allowed?

in fact only race cars are allowed for the first two races per kgffy selection

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Okay, and the order of cars is FR - 4WD - FF - MR?

 

[88GTA]

Wait, race cars are allowed?

For the first two races (1150 split) everyone must use race cars. For the last two, you can run anything you want.

Edit: Tree'd by Kenobi

@DesertPenguin09
Any order you want, but you'll have to use an FF in the last split due to the PP values.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Is the idea to go to both ends of the scale so you sort of get two class racing?

 

[88GTA]

You'll actually find more people using an even split. You can go high/low if you want, but it tends to have you racing yourself in last place for one whole race.

 

[GTP_Vertigo]

Is the idea to go to both ends of the scale so you sort of get two class racing?

No Your trying to win. So your car selection has to be smart. There are certain cars that perform well above their PP value.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

FR - Nissan GT-R GT500
4WD - Subaru Impreza Touring Car
MR - Toyota MR2 G-Limited
FF - Renault Sport Clio R.S.

So for the first race I can pick Either the FR or 4WD car, and then use the one I didn't pick for Race 2. Then Race 3/4 is same deal with MR and FF?

 

[JLBowler]

You can use any drivetrain you want in any order. The exception this week is that the FF car has to go in the second group because there aren't any FF cars anywhere near 575 pp. You can run a MR in the first two if you want to. It's really up to you to do whatever you want as long as you're within the PP requirements.

@jobyone
Is the Audi S1 a race car or a rally car?

 

[jobyone]

@jobyone

I would say racecars includes rally cars.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

It's really up to you to do whatever you want as long as you're within the PP requirements.

So I don't have to use an FR at all? I can use two MR cars?

 

[88GTA]

Each drivetrain once. Pick one car of each (one FF, one FR, one 4WD, one MR/RR) which fit the PP requirements.

First two races:
Two race cars between 546pp and 604pp which total less than or equal to 1150pp.

Last two races:
Two cars between 390pp and 431pp which total less than or equal to 820pp.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Okay. So much choice left up to the user. I'm not used to that. I enjoy spec racing a lot more because I don't have to think and make these decisions lol
