Once all my family leaves the house tonight and my kids are in bed, probably 10pm ish EST, I will probably be on for a bit. We could do a practice run for tomorrow or whatever.

I can help you with that probably
 
I've got all the practice i can get.. have a few busy days. I'll be getting home aboout 10 minutes before we start tomorrow..

While testing cars I have found a few that need to be updated. Here is the list. these are broken in along with 2 oil changes at peak horsepower

Mazda AtenzaSport 25z 07 PP 382 @ 376 miles
Mazda Roadster NC 07 pp 395 @ 350 miles

I'm getting back in town sooner than expected so I will see you guys tonight.
Looks like the opposite for me. My plans have changed and I will not be back in time to race. 5 weeks in a row without racing. I hate life sometimes:(

If only people could race later. Being on the west coast is making this hard for me.

There must be a discrepancy in the way the game calculates PP from PS3 to PS3. The Atenza I have was bought new for the SNAIL sunday series awhile ago. It has 380 miles on it and 381PP fresh. Joby has his at 381PP as well.
 
I can't make it tonight, first day of school for me, and first day of high school for son (bus stop at 6:10 am!), so I should behave this once...
 
My lineup for tonight:

FR - Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110) '73 (379)
FF - Honda Civic Type-R (ep, eu) '01 (412)
4WD - Mitsubishi GTO SR '96 (404)
MR - Renault 5 Turbo '80 (395)

Total: 1590

I'll be there tonight. just got home after a 14hr day at the shop.. Its not really PS3 it the difference between Patches. mine is now 382.

My line up for the night
Spoon fit Race car
Lancia Delta HF
Mazda Roadster NC 07

FR - Cappy RM (393) NEVER USE THIS CAR IN PP Race
MR- 5 Turbo '80 (395)
FF- FTO GR '07 (395)

Don't like this PP range. Ain't crap for cars in my garage ready or right. :/

I noticed that at 13:54 in this ISR video that some cars seem to have there PP listed. Here is the list with the GT 6 value followed by the current GT 5 NCD PP value for them:

Ferrari 458 - 558/554
Ford GT 06 - 567/563
Mclaren 4c - 566/561
Acura NSX - 433/429
Toyota 86 GT -406/402


They all seem to be 4-5 PP lower. So while our current figures may not be the same hopefully we will be able to quickly adjust them all by 4-5 and be close to the GT6 values.
 
In the spirit of having to drive slow cars on huge tracks last night. I give you the opposite. Qualifying track will be Autumn Ring Mini.

How was last night? Any chance of a race report or pictures?

I picked two bad cars. Resulting in a terrible overall finish. CappyRM is a turd at 393pp and the 5 Turbo has terrible handling and doesn't perform at 395pp.

Other two were decent cars.
 
I hope to throw up some pics much later. Overall it was some great racing action. Star and I ruined our chances of a one-two finish at Spa which would have changed the final standings a bit. Bowler had a terrible car at Spa which may have influenced his reaction :) I saw him kicking up dirt and grass a few times.

Star managed to finish ahead of Ken and I in a race long bumper to bumper affair even though his fast lap was 2 secs slower than Ken and I. AAAARRRGGGG :)

I figured the aero on the Cappy would bet it a formidable force at Monaco. Pffft was that a delusional thought. LoL almost 8 secs a lap off fast lap.
 
Our battle for last at Indy was entertaining...I was hoping to grab enough of a lead on the last corner to stay ahead on the straight but it just didn't work out for me.

Now you are feeling the pains of car discovery...good and bad :) You start to figure out which cars perform up to their PP and which don't. Now you know you could have saved 10pp on the R5 and got the MRS and spent the extra 10 pp somewhere NOT on the Cappy :)

Learning the cars for sure. I've never ran the slower cars so its very new.

It's def not smart to throw together a line up in an hour. Needing to change oils and realize cars are off. Etc etc caused me some issues. My initial line up was good but found out after engine rebuild on a car is been over a bit. Meh

Always next week. ;)

I had to battle every race, except last race, lost the draft. It was a good night even though I still don't feel 100%. Fighting this stupid sinus cold.

The Cappy would do well in a race that had a 10,000 ft vertical drop:) I actually really enjoy driving that car but the PP is whacked. It is the car that makes me think that the PP is based on the tires that car comes with. If that is the case then the PP might actually be about right.

Monaco was great, Spa sucked! I think that was my fault too.
 
I thought all the races were great last night! The only one where i didn't battle with at least two other drivers the whole time was Monaco, and that was only because I picked a clunker. However I still enjoyed that race because I got to watch (and listen to) the epic battle going on right in front of me. If only you guys had tangled in the chicane I might have been able to pick off a few more spots ;)
