Well it is with some regret that I must let you know that I will be stepping away from GT5 for a while. I am not sure how long this will last but life just continues to get in the way and for now I need to step back. This may only be for a few weeks or a few months but at the moment I will need to relinquish my S.N.A.I.L. responsibilities (stewarding, colors and welcome posts).

Being apart of this group has been a real pleasure and when I return to GT5 the first thing I do will be coming back to S.N.A.I.L. I want to especially thank zer05ive, kcheeb and all the stewards for the work they do. If you have not helped out before I highly suggest that you volunteer some time and pitch in. All the people that volunteer their time to run this league deserve a huge round of applause.

And now to my baby the Performance Cap racing. JoeW and Wolfsatz will work to keep it going in my absence. I will not totally be gone as I will continue to be in the thread and keep the opening posts and schedules going as long as people are wanting to race. But they will take over the running of the Monday and Saturday events.

Thanks for all the great racing and practice time. And in the words of the T800 "I'll be back"

Joby

 

[88GTA]

Saturdays PP is 1575. Not that anyone will complain if you run at 1518

 

[watermelon punch]

Yes smiggz just run at 1518

Question: How do you get the "average lap times" thing from race replays?

Also: I was planning to change my line-up for Sat. But I can't find now where I wrote it down & I don't remember it, so I'll have to tally it up again.

 

[jobyone]

Question: How do you get the "average lap times" thing from race replays?

average may be misleading. I am grabbing the fastest lap time for each car/track combo. Simply go to the data view while watching replays. It next to the change view button if you have never used it before. Does that answer your question?

 

[watermelon punch]

Oh sorry I meant "average speed"...

 

[jobyone]

Oh sorry I meant "average speed"...

Ah that is math fu

=(B$3/G4)*3600

Cell b3 has the distance of the track in miles
Cell g4 has the lap time in seconds
3600 is the seconds in an hour

So for Tsukuba in a 97 impreza it's
(1.271/66.692)*3600=68.6 mph

No reason to swear at me.
That's exactly what I wanted. 👍 I guess the proper way I should've asked the question was to ask for the "Equation".

 

[diabolicwyvern]

If people could run some laps of various tracks in their favorite car around 410 PP and let me know the lap times we could see where how we could slot a few more tracks in.

After testing several cars with different layouts...I've came up with the most average car I could and did ALOT of testing. It's not new or ancient. It's not heavy or light. Its handling isn't a strength or a detriment. You wouldn't call it swift, but it's rarely considered slow.

It's the Nissan Skyline GTS-t Type M (R32) '91
I chose this mainly because of it's FR layout and <2L displacement.

Testing Specs
Limited 2.5%

410PP
216HP
1260KG

I did two flying laps to set these times. Remember, there are 410PP cars that will beat this car, but equally as many that won't depending on the track.

The list is sorted top down with longest tracks first. This should make it more evident those tracks that run at a higher average rate. As you move down the list, you would expect the time to decrease. If any track is taking more time than the one above it...it's a slower average speed.


Monza forward w/chicane - 2'23.090
Nurb GP/F - 2'32.993
Tokyo Reverse - 2'08.907
Grand Valley - 2'21.388
Cape Ring Periphery - 1'55.669
Fuji GT - 2'02.980
Road Course Indy - 1'57.015


I will continue to update this list

Suzuka - 103.1 mph

we could do with finding a few slow tracks and fast tracks.

 

[88GTA]

I've been really enjoying the kart space tracks with smaller cars like that Cappuccino seasonal.

I'm not sure how practical that would be for us unless the pp total was to drop significantly.

YAAAAAYYY BEAL... Welcome to the party.
Suggestion... that Elise sucks! Hard to handle, too much pp not enough power. If you wanna race a very good low pp MR try the Hommel Berlinette. That one is a blast.

 

[racefan78]

I'll be there tonight. I'll post my lineup this afternoon.

 

[tezgm99]

I may be able to do this tonight....proposed lineup for 1575PP:
FF - Toyota Starlet Glanza V '97 (374PP)
FR - Nissan Skyline 2000GTR '73 (376PP...not sure how Ken got 379 from it as mine has 0 miles and just got an oil change)
MR/RR - DeLorean '04 (412PP)
4WD - Peugeot 205 Turbo '85 (412PP...I know a new one has 414, but this has nearly 60k on it so it's not getting those 2PP back)

Total 1574PP

[diabolicwyvern]

I'm should make it tonight but with my Billikens playing Oregon, I may not be in perfect shape. Win or Lose, my concentration could be hampered by what I may or may not consume during the game.

 

[88GTA]

Have fun racing. I'll be ready for Monday.

 

[kendawg]

I gave you the wrong Mitsubishi Joby. It's the FTO GR '97 not the FTO GPX '97. Sorry, it is also 395pp not 399. The total should be 1573pp.

Thx.
