No, they shouldn't be able to almost catch the other class. The idea is just two races happening at the same time, and both classes have to look out for each other. GT500 would be tougher because GT300 cars would be traffic that can get between you and someone you're battling.

But that's just what I would do. This is your series. I'm doing my own thang.

that is the GTP racing series and we don't have the numbers to run a good proper series in that nature. We would have to run it based on the ability to win the night or have funding to purchase prizes to give to the individual series, or switch the drivers between the 2 classes during a break period. everyone has to have the opportunity to win on any given night!
 
I'm thinking of when/if you get 10+ drivers consistently. Right now it's one thing just to get everyone evenly matched.

I doubt we would get 10 plus drivers this late into GT6. However if and when gt7 comes out and the numbers boom again it may happen!
 
Sunday, Monday, and Thursday all bring out large crowds so there are things that still appeal to the masses.
 
Adramike your 1:19.xxx’s were good enough, Jakes 1:18.xxx’s are in a questionable car

(sorry Jake )

I only managed 1:19’s also in my Elise ’11, the flat floor makes the car overall faster through the whole entire circuit



Penguin a full SuperGt two class Series/ race is great especially if you have 12 or more racers in it.

however I have been in only 2 successful series and have witnessed 10 that have failed to finish the full race schedule in the past year alone! people for some reason get bored with it?!?

I think a short season is the way to go with the SuperGt’s, most successful in my past 5 years of racing.

AND yes GT500 at 500Hp and GT 300 at 300Hp is the best way to go and yes the slower drivers in the GT300 is easier for them to tune, Just Remember to stress the Duel Championship going on and then it truly becomes a fun room to be in.



Back to our current series; the racing was so close mid-pac that without any mistakes I think Kg would have had to defend against everybody in the room at one lap or another. It was a strategy-fest out there last night with the off’s and tight racing. I personally had to switch up my strategy mid race to keep up with Racingchamp and Tex and only with a few late race mistake by them and Jake was I able to take up a 2nd place finish.

For me I am going to have to tune the bejeezus out of my Elise to keep up with Tex, Champ and Adramike could be un obtainable for me if he keeps it on the track I know that 111R is much faster than my ’11, as for the pro’s I don’t think that I will see them unless they make any mistakes like the last race. Bring on Midfield!!
 
Random idea for a new class: Classic muscle cars, Trans-Am style. Since this is a tuner series we can set the transmission higher and actually race with these things. Give them a chance to shine.

I barked up that tree already sorry

That was me in the 111R. I found the car to be a lot less predictable at DF compared to Apricot last week. I couldn't seem to keep it on the track in the corners after the back straight. One lap it would be fine then the next I would be a couple of feet over and hit a small bump and I'd spin. Was very frustrated and had to slow a fair bit. Guess I'm going to have to play with tuning for each track. Still not used to this tuning stuff!

There are some really good ones out there, we tested some for RCS, like the Pozzi Motorsports Camaro, the Trans-Cammer Ford, Red devil ect.

The classic cars are unpredictable do to there nature (referring to the production cars) so it would shorten the list of available tracks.

how many tuner classics are their? They have more predictable handling and how comparable are they to each other? I'm willing to try any configuration of cars you guys want to put together especially to keep the cars interesting and the people coming / coming back. Testing tips for making a class of cars:don't tune the cars just bring everything to the spec and test all. as we run everything at the same specs, Hp and weight.

Yes before the new track you should test your car. I found that with this track the flat floor benefited the car as where last week the flat floor just killed the speed. Next week should be flat floor free! as it is a high speed track with fast turns (Haven't actually tested with my flat floor car yet[yes I have 2 cars]) I usually spend an hour before the race testing and tuning for which handles better and where to set my transmission for best speed/ corner gearing.

How are people doing with Midfield? Does is seem to be a non flatfoor track, or does it really matter? And what are the lap times?

Have done no practice yet, but won't be using flat floor, can we change cars, or we have to stick to same car for season?.

I would say stick to same car. Plus you seem like quite the racer in that S2K good challenge for my RX-7
 
I think it would be a cool idea one season to have two cars of the same model. One is tuned for tight twisty tracks and one is tuned for higher speed tracks. Make the tune at the start of the season and can't change it from there on. If you do its a time penalty at the end of the race since we can't do grid spot penalties. Sorta like formula one with the gearbox changes and what not

How would you enforce that?
 
No idea but I like the concept lol

Just thinking off the top of my head now I'd love the lobby regulations to have multiple classes you can set up with their own refs and then drivers have to set their car up to fit the classes

Midfield is a non flat floor track lots of straight with lots of hard breaking. unlike last week with the high speed corners.

The point of GT1 is the tuning, (jakes RX-7 outstanding :) ) For the most part once you find a basic tune you only tweak small aspects of your tune. Like trans and maybe tighten up or loosen the suspension depending on the banking.

As for having 2 different cars I do! I'm not paying every time I'm testing or tuning to take the flat floor off.
 
It has also been brought to my attention that the dates were messed up for to nights racing however the order is correct... Tonight is Midfield!
 
Hey Birdy does the Clio V6 work? Goofytyler is coming back and wanted to know. It is 1096 thought I might just ask.
 
Well I think he plans on switching to the Elise '11 next week. He would do it this week but funds are Low for him.

So it's a tight race 3 people can take 1st over all and a lot of positions can swap place! Come prepared to race please lets start on time next week :)
 
Well I thought I figured out a good strategy but once again GT6 reared its ugly game code and everyone got shorter pit stops during the race.
I thought I got lucky with my pit stop taking 10s less time to complete than it did in practice. However it became apparent that my strategy got crushed by the shorter pit stops GT6 gave to all of the racers.
can you say 3 stops for the win next week at Nurburgring ??!!?!?
