◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[jobyone]

Was the room setup for friends only?

How about a vote.

Yes means scrap last Mondays event and run the combo again
No means score the three races and choose new combos

 

[kendawg]

No

 

[IceWarden]

Yeah..."no".

 

[88GTA]

I agree with Joe and Ken. We raced and it had its flaws but we score the 3 races we finished and do a new combo next week.

 

[tezgm99]

Well 🤬.....I just went through the dealers to see what other options I could have used and bought a few to try out.

 

[IceWarden]

Lol.

So who picks next week's track and PP? Let's get it on...got a garage full of all my favorites (and some new meat as well)

 

[tezgm99]

I caved and bought the Renault Gordini...it seems to handle much better than the MR2, around Tsukuba at least since that's the only track I tried it on.

 

[jobyone]

Lol.

You get the win and Ken gets second.

Make your pics

I will also be adding a short/slow track to the lineups that will come in to play if the PP of the cars is less than 400

 

[tezgm99]

Joe, if you're still looking for that colour, try the Toyota Sera....not sure if you checked the other thread so I figure I'll put that here as well, lol

 

[IceWarden]

So how about 1800pp. Split it 800PP and 1000PP. Starting with the lower PP cars.

If we are still doing the split? Since the new GT6 season hits are we going back to basics or staying with the split?

Thanks Tez! Gonna check it out tonight.

The split does make it harder to explain to randoms. But I think it is making good racing

 

[IceWarden]

Honestly I'm good either way. I would definitely like to see some new people fill out the room now that we are in GT6 but I am also for whatever makes the best racing.

So, as usual, I'm just so super easy to get along with

 

[tezgm99]

A few more cars for the spreadsheet after doing oil changes:
- Hyundai Click Type R '01, 337pp
- VW Polo GTI '01, 344pp
- Renault R8 Gordini '66, 350pp
- BMW 330i '05, 432pp
- Opera Performance S2000 '04, 484pp

I have a couple others (Toyota Sera, Pug 106 Rallye and a BMW 330i) but the pp didn't change from what is currently confirmed (that is, a name is actually there instead of 'guess') so I didn't see the point in listing them above.

At night? With the lights off?

 

[jobyone]

Night race a PP first?

 

[IceWarden]

Yeeeah...no.

 

[jobyone]

Yeeeah...no.

luckily you have no say frenchie Ken what time settings do you want to run?

 

[tezgm99]

We could do a dawn race....there would be light to start with and it would get brighter. Just throwing ideas out there

 

[JLBowler]

High noon. Isn't that when they start everything in the western desert?

 

[kendawg]

A day time race. Not enough track knowledge yet for a night race.

 

[tezgm99]

Right, so sport hards (400 average) and sport softs (500 average) then....will see what I can rustle up in case I can make it.

 

[88GTA]

Sounds good guys I'll be on after work doing some testing. Too bad I don't have a lounge anymore for that kind of stuff....

Joby,
Ford RS200 '84 is now 440pp in GT6.

 

[tezgm99]

Preliminary lineup:
FF - Alfa Romeo MiTo '09 (382pp)
MR/RR - Lotus Elise '00 (418pp)

FR - BMW M4 Coupe (517pp)
4WD - Subaru S206 NBR Challenge Package '12 (478pp)

 

[IceWarden]

Joby,

Might as well not even use it anymore...at 439pp it was a no brainer, but at 440pp there are much better options out there

 

[88GTA]

Oh haha ^. Just trying to help the PP Spreadsheet changeover, jeez

 

[IceWarden]

I was just hoping to convince you not to use it so I could

 

[jobyone]

Thanks for the PP updates

 

[88GTA]

No prob Joby. Lotus Elise '11 is 395pp after oil change and in case anyone else didn't notice, all the older rally cars (ie '99 Impreza, '01 Impreza, '99 Evo, '99 Focus) have drastically lower pp values than GT5. They are in the dealerships at around 480pp but I don't have enough money to buy them and get the post oil change numbers.

Test line-up:
FF - Celica SS-II '97 404pp
MR - Lotus Elise '11 395pp

FR - M4 Coupaaaaaaaayyyyyy '14 510pp
4WD - Mazda6 Touring Car 487pp (used to be 506!)

 

[baldgye]

Any room for me and my Delta Wing '13 to join in?? Getting tired of trying to find practice sessions only to be kicked or driven at...
