Good combo guys. I won't be able to start testing until at least Friday though.

Anyone have any matte black paint chips they could send me? Or maybe a PM on how to get extras, if you know what I mean...

if you have plenty of credits go buy a Lexus LFA. It comes in matte black. I will try to send you some chips today.

I only have about $6 million and I'm still stalking the UCD for a 2J, but thanks in advance for any chips 👍

1740 pp line up

FF Spoon Integra type r dc2 422pp

FR Ford 150 lightning 449 pp

4wd Land rover 439pp

MR lotus 111s 430pp

large vehicles and pickup trucks back by popular demand!
 
Greased Lightning!



Assume the PP low is 395 and high is 475?

Looks like you divide total by 4 and then 40 either direction?
 
Hello my friends, I will participate in this monday and need to know what was the chosen track for qualifying and the first race. Thank you!
We would be happy to have you join us. I will send you a friend request from the account later today. I assume the start time is ok for you? If you are in São Paulo I believe that would be Midnight your time. Assuming that is ok we look forward to you joining us.

Greased Lightning!

I have updated the second post with the PP (1740 SM) and the Qualifying track (Nurb GP/F).

The Low PP is 392 and the high is 479. (It is +/-10% of the average PP which for 1740 is 435)

I think that PP is wrong for the GTI. No way is the type V that high. I will double check that when I get home. That might be the PP for the GTI VI R but that is 4wd.
 
Nice pics, Ken!


Looking forward to rejoining y'all.

No Thrash-storytelling on the pictures? Narrative? A who's-who and all?

;-)

You are right that is way too high but the spreadsheet lists the car with 448pp and has Kendawg's name next to it. I went back and found where I posted the pp for the VW Golf V GTI and it is here so it should be 411pp. I'll have to adjust my line-up.

Nice pics Ken! I see my Audi tank got a little love and that MR-S battle at Deep Forest looked fun.
 
Hey guys. The known PP is currently showing the incorrect values. I should be able to sort it out today but until then assume that all values on the spreadsheet are incorrect.
 
I appreciate it, Ken. Was just ribbing you a bit.

I know...I would love to have some narrative on the pics but it just takes up so much time with 4 different races and 36 different cars..
I think it is cool just seeing the different cars racing and battling each other.
 
Cool.

I'm doing some testing now with this line-up:
MR - Acura NSX '04 454pp
FR - Nissan 350Z Gt4 461
4WD - Ford RS200 '84 437pp
FF - Honda Accord Euro R '02 404pp
 
I am about half way through recompiling the Known OO list so hopefully later today that will be done.

I had a thought while looking at the Monday Signup sheet. Last week and this week we seem to have a fair number of duplicate pics. This leads me to think we have a good idea of which cars have an advantage at a certain PP. What do you think about this. If a car is chosen by three or more people in a night we adjust the cars PP by 1 going forward. So say three of us choose the BRZ/FRS/GT86 twins. The PP for this week will stay at 413 but going forward it will count as 414 (it would be updated on the spreadsheet). Each time the car is chosen by 3 or more people this would happen. I think this would gradually equalizer a few of the cars that seem to be faster than their PP would indicate.

Any thoughts?
 
I think that takes away the usefulness of the spreadsheet as a record of PP, since it wouldn't be accurate for those often used cars.
 
Agree with the Goat. I think the benefit to doing this is finding cars that we actually like to drive within certain PP ranges. Through extensive testing and racing we have weeded out cars that do not suit us. I have some cars that I drive very often yet other drivers do not. And vice versa. They suit my style but may not suit others. On top of that, very seldom do we end up driving the same car on the same race.

Btw...Joby...do you have an extra CZ-3 Tarmac street car? I do not have one of those and would like to try it someday.
 
One of these things is not like the other
